I'm a big Outkast fan (they are probably my favorite Southern group of all time) - but you can't paint the double album as some hip hop achievement. The way to spin it is to claim that Kast made an experimental R&B pop album that connected with the mainstream like no other hip hop group has ever been able to do. As a hip hop album, it was weak, as a pop album, based off sales and the Grammy you can claim it was a smashing success. If I was gonna jump in this discussion, I'd argue that Outkast had three excellent albums in a row and then transitioned into pop/R&B and dominated their. I'd also argue their prowess on the mic. I'd argue that they were ONE of the first to really put on for the A. Id acknowledge that Stankonia was uneven. Ad I would acknowledge that Mobb Deep was better. Because I wouldn't want to sound like I had no credibility as a hip hop fan.
What point? They're "GOATNESS" or they're impact. I can understand if you don't rank then high but there is no denying the impact they have.
This is why I wouldn't see you as credible. You can't form your own opinion on music. You let other people influence the way you judge music, rather than just to take it as it is and judge what you hear from the artist
You completely missed the point there. But even in missing the point, there is no logical connection between what I wrote and the conclusion you reached. And you completely sidestepped the topic at hand.

I dont see how you cant say they're one of the greatest rap duos of all time. Give credit where its due friend. If outkast is not a contender, then thats a real small list.these dudes are like the tim teebow of hip-hop(really, it should be the other way around. but yall get the point). so i guess that makes me stephen a.
im trying not to lose my cool when arguing with idiots. plus im not down with boosting thread numbers for dudes that i dont know. its time to do a part 2 to one of the goat threads in internet history.
and im gonna keep it civil by focusing in on the task at hand. FOR THE RECORD, i was listening to outkast before most of their hipster internet fans that argue me down were even listening to rap. i didnt have a problem with them until the past 8 years when the media started revising history in their favor, and suddenly all these little internet dudes started claiming outkast as goat group contenders out of nowhere.
heres the thing. you cant just say that somebody is in the running for goat, simply because theyre your favorites. they have to possess the credentials of such a group. and they dont. they lack in just about every category. and we're gonna break it down in here.
and im gonna start with this. this is one of my favorites:
1.) when they were actually good and in their prime, they werent even a top tier group. how could you possibly be a top 5 all-time group when you werent even top 5 when you were hot? and do remember, they were always one of the better promoted groups, had one of the goat machines behind them, and were promoted better than half the groups that were ahead of them.
stay tuned. more on the way.
This coming from a fakkit who changed the title of his thread... as a pathetic attempt to hide his bias and subjective opinionated basis....
do you even know what youre typing at this point?
WTF are you talking about???Fingers trembling trying to come up with a counter argument nikka
It's well known sales on such albums like E99, LAD, AEOM never get fair numbers cause nikkas wasnt feinding to waste money for a accurate numbers, and certified plaques, everybody was moving numbers them days
How was Kast sales post the speakerboxxx/The Love below, after 3000 shukking and jiving became old to the masses or should I say Massa's, and how did this double album ruin their original fanbase , since Hey Ya and Like the way you move is where you're hanging your weak ass argument on
