Gran album, histórico. Tiene temazos, es muy amable para la gente externa al rap. Mucha melodía. Me encanta cómo está pensado, con los interludios y todo. Se escucha súper bien. Es quizás un toque largo, yo no lo terminé. Pero muy bueno tmb para introducirse en el rap yankee. Ms. Jackson HIMNO
I really enjoyed the album. Was kindly belssed with it not being as much boombap as many 90s albums are. The hits are there such as Ms. Jackson and B.O.B.
Im was not impressed
This album was one of the soundtracks of my youth. I was never a big fan of albums with interludes, but I get their point in the larger theme of the album. This one is more cohesive than most.
fav songs: so fresh, so clean ms. jackson b.o.b. (bombs over Baghdad) xplosion energetic, inventive, bloated 60/100
ms jackson is irresistible
no entendí nada.
The songs were good, but there were too many interludes and skits. Why did so many 90s and 2000s hip hop albums include them?
Didn’t love every song but it was def a vibe
Un album de hip-hop des années 2000, qui dure comme de bien entendu plus d'une heure. Il va sans dire que je m'attendais à détester parce que la sélection d'album de Robert Dimery dans les années 2000 est.. plutôt douteuse. Mais contre toute attente, j'ai plutôt bien aimé ! Alors, ce n'est pas vraiment ce que j'aime le plus dans le genre, mais c'est créatif, il y a plein de passages qui rentrent dans la tête et le peu que j'ai compris des paroles (ça demande une concentration que je n'ai pas) était plutôt sympa. Pas forcément un truc sur lequel je reviendrais spontanément, mais c'était une découverte intéressante et je pense mettre un 3.
I like a lot the songs on this album and enjoyed interludes.
Starts off very strong with Gasoline Dreams. Ms. Jackson is also a classic one. Other than that I got tired of it by track 15 because I'm not a huge hip-hop fan. But this was pretty good. I was initially too generous on my votes and I'm calibrating my bar now so this gets 3.
It's ok, but asside from a couple of really iconic songs it gets repetitive after a while. Sometimes it feels a bit performative.
Okay.
The hits were hitting. The rest not so much. This was too long, and as with similar records I didn’t care for the skits and could have done without them. 3/5
3.5. Mostly fun
Rap pesado, para entrenar súper. Muy buenos temas pero larguísimo y canciones muy x
Lots of meh tracks but some fiya ones - found a new fav song in that bombs over Baghdad tune
Wasn't in the mood for this kinda music atm
Started super strong with the hits but most everything after was very hit or miss and nowhere near what this group is capable of, and went on really long
00’s Hip Hop ⭐️Gangsta Sh*t
It just boggles my mind that Andre3000 didn’t become the next big thing. I’m guessing it was his own doing. I’m not looking it up. I’ll always just wonder until I see something on YouTube. Shhhh let’s listen to the album. And it’s just as I have always thought. OutKast are only as good as their singles. They are a group you want to love but they just fall short . Choice cut: Ms.Jackson
Danced my ass off to this in high school. So Fresh, So Clean Ms. Jackson B.O.B. - Bombs Over Baghdad
Way too long, does not do enough in all that time. I think that Southernplayalisticadillacmusic or ATLiens should've been the pick for the list, too.
Didn't like this as much as I expected, ranges from close to unlistenable (or at least aged very badly) and the best music ever written (Bombs Over Baghdad). Let's go in the middle
Intro is fucking insane man Some fillers here and there but it doesnt bother me for now Also it's such a good hiphop album okay like despite some questionable lyrics "snappin and trappin" im talking about you rn but its not the only one
Stankonia makes a stronger case for itself than Speakerboxxx/The Love Below — the single album format keeps Big Boi and André 3000 operating as a unit rather than pulling in separate directions, and the production has a kinetic, genre-blending energy that feels genuinely unified rather than divided. The talent is never in question. The opening argument is almost overwhelming. "B.O.B." arrives like a freight train and remains one of the most propulsive tracks in hip-hop history — punk energy, gospel choir, and Atlanta funk colliding at a speed that shouldn't work and absolutely does. "Ms. Jackson" is a stone cold classic that earns every bit of its cultural staying power. Erykah Badu's presence elevates everything she touches, as it always does. The problem is consistency. The interludes derail momentum in exactly the same way they did on the double album — OutKast clearly love the format and this particular listener consistently doesn't, which is a stable and honest critical position rather than a snap judgment. The material between the peaks is a genuine mixed bag, and the highs are high enough that the valleys feel more pronounced by contrast. Two OutKast records, two honest threes. The ambition is real, the highlights are real, and the format choices keep pulling the rug out from under both. A record that contains some of the best moments in their catalog without quite being one of their best albums.
I have listened to a few of these songs before, especially Ms. Jackson. It is an interesting album because the songs range from 30-second interludes to over 3 minutes. Even though it isn't something I would normally listen to, I think the album is really good and unique. Definitely worth listening to.
3.5
I went into this album expecting to struggle with it, as I usually find it hard to stay engaged with hip hop. However, OutKast turned out to be more interesting than I expected. B.O.B. stood out to me with its unexpected guitar elements, which gave it a strong rock feel. Stankonia (Stanklove) left an impression with its bluesy atmosphere, showing a completely different side of the album. Overall, it’s a diverse and experimental record that goes beyond my usual image of hip hop.
Well...Hip-Hop/Rap is not my usual genre... I have learned to have an open mind and expand beyond my first impressions. So far this has been a fun journey in music and culture.
outkast mi je možda najbolji rep/hip-hop izvođač kojeg sam slušao, ne samo u sklopu ovog izazova/projekta već općenito. na ovom albumu je prejebena stvar, mrs jackson, pravo malo remek-djelo. osim toga album je solidan, ali je malo predug i nije me cijelo vrijeme držao podjednako zainteresirana. visoka visoka trojka
Album with great his, however a lot of agressive cuts for my taste
Aww fuck yeah. Perfect for a Friday. The beats slap, it's chonky hip hop goodness.
the songs were good, but half the album is talking
Me gustaron solo dos canciones, no soy de rap
Doo doo
Full Album Thoughts: Album Rating: 3.4 (B) Alright. Alright. Alright. I did not rate the interstitials. Gasoline Dreams B- All right. The delivery is a bit too much Yell for me. I really dont have an ear for rap or hip hop yet. So Fresh So Clean A+ See I am enjoying this more melodic style already, and the more "stream of consciousness" sounding verses. A bit more loose on the beat. Also I need a minute to recover from "Youre so anne frank lets hit the attic to hide out for about two weeks". Ms Jackson A Wild choice for the backing track, what I can only guess is just Playing It Backwards. Really trippy sounding. One thing I am noticing about myself is I dont really focus on lyrics on An Initial Listen Through, so very dense lyrical artistry is lost on me. Snappin & Trappin C Now like... this bweep bweep song just sounds like Alien Meme Music. Spaghetti Junction B+ Oh yeah this is smoother. I l do enjoy more laid back beats Ill Call Before I Come B+ Hehe, yeah see this is how you do a goofy sounding song. I actually enjoy this. BOB S This is absolutely wild. Love this. Such a wild varied song. Xplosion A Weird harpsicord beat with distorted drums and guitar squeals? And we are back to the Fart Synths. Okay. We Luv Deez Hoez A I also really enjoyed this one, but was too distracted to write much! Humble Mumble A And this one has a funky beat too! Sadly there is some kind of score multiplier I am noticing in my "somewhat objective rating" where if you have a string of good songs in a row, I kinda ride that vibe throughout! Having female vocals singing is also a nice break? Red Velvet B- Nope. Combo dropped. Gansta Shit B- It takes a hot minute to get started, and then we are back to the stutter step style of rap. Toilet Tisha A- I think this is a bit too long, but its a groove and a half. Slum Beautiful B+ Chill song, I actually dig the weird noodling, but again, a bit too long. Stankonia B- This is a hell of an outro. Not really much to say again. Sorry, this one doesnt do it for me
Better than biggie and stuff
Rap isn't a genre I have any form of affinity for. If anything I have a negative affinity to it. Until a few years ago, if asked what kind of music I dislike, rap would be unfairly my answer, a consequence of being bombarded by plenty of crap rap whilst first navigating the world of music and seeing it as a big mainstream genre I wanted nothing to do with. Gradually this has been worn down over the years by encountering better representations of the genre, and OutKast would be among the artists who softened my dislike. Hey Ya! was a song I grew up with, and whilst at the time I wouldn't have known to consider it rap, and perhaps still today wouldn't, it's a formative song for me. Stankonia isn't an album I looked into despite that; I still didn't like rap enough to sit down to a full album, and the one song I knew well from it, Ms. Jackson, was the least favourite of their songs I listened to with any regularity. I understand Stankonia was a significant release at the time, and I'm sure the social commentary hits harder if you were listening to it during the time of its release in the country it came out of, or were more ingrained into the scene, so for me I lost all that possible connotation. I found this album to be lengthy, lengthier than it should be, with a lot of the later songs feeling like padding and the abundant interludes that smatter the album being particularly unneeded. This album has some very strong songs. Ms. Jackson is probably it's main hit, it's the sole song I knew in advance, but there's some other real standout stuff. For me, Bombs Over Baghdad might be my single favourite song I've found through this process so far. It's only album 20, but as a metalhead I was coming here hoping in no small part to find metal and rock I had never listened to before, so for the first song I listen to on loop I first found here to be rap is staggering to me. For every great song here there's something more underwhelming. It's hardly a hit parade, and after B.O.B. nothing could stop that song thrumming through my head. Ironically it somewhat ruined the rest of the album for me. I'd rather listen to OutKast as single songs than a full album, even if I do now better appreciate their work. Listen to this album once, find the songs you like, and get out.
Me parece que le sobra contenido. Tiene de los mejores temas de “rap” que escuché contrastado por una banda de temas vacíos, largos y repetitivos. Aún así gran album.
No lo escuche completo porque to estaba muy vibing que digamos asi que no se como coño dar un rating aqui, pero hermano, descubrir Ms. Jackson valió completmante la pena. Que arrecha esa canción
Había escuchado ya la de Ms. Jackson. Me gusto, fue más movido un tipo de rap en inglés típico de los 2000s'. No demasiado intenso, movido, relajante que te deja concentrarte en lo que haces pero también disfrutas y moverte un poco.
So Fresh, So Clean and Ms. Jackson are the standouts I grew up being familiar with, but the rest of the album was probably too experimental for my taste. An interesting listen and no doubt culturally significant, but one I won’t revisit outside of the singles.
Some of the songs are really filler fuel, which kinda ruins the album from being great. Ms. Jackson and Bombs over Baghdad are great songs though!
3.0 - Ok
It's better than Speakerboxxx which I scored 2. Interludes annoy me though (again) and it's still too damn long! Won't listen again.
8/10
This album transported me back to a simpler time. I still fucking hate interludes though.
Could have used some editing but the flow is good and B.O.B. is outstanding
Fun to listen to
i like wu tang and the other one more sounds abit general but cld be seinfield
Very cool thematic album
It's too long and a mixed bag for me. Can't be doing with all the skits. Miss Jackson a cut above the rest
Pretty, pretty, pretty good
its not my kind of music, but its a wide variated album with songs for everybody
Sorry miss Jackson but this was mid
No es mi onda pero me gustó
I liked so fresh, so clean and I am sorry ms jackson. other songs just didnt stand out
I have heard about Outkast heard their famous songs but have not heard a whole album written by them. I enjoyed the album its just that old hiphop is not me. The production is crazy,beats,lyrics. I see he hype around the album and Outkast but its not just my type of music. It was nice listeing to it. My personal ranking is a 7.5/10.
Bombs over Baghdad is a 5 star track … not sure about the rest of the album though 🤷♂️. Also love that Chappelle quotes it in his black Bush skit 😂.
I’ve kind of avoided OutKast because I got so sick of Hey Ya but this is decent.
Hip-hop rap with samples/loops. Concept album? Almost.. Some funk influence in I'll Call B4 I Cum. First full track (Gasoline Dreams) reminds me of Public Enemy. Also Dr Octagonacologist but that was actually fun. Apart from Ms Jackson there's almost nothing melodic here. And at 1hr 13mins it's pushing it. Ah BOB is what we're here for. Dense rhymes and political lyrics, and even a hook! On another level to what came before on the album. Best track - Spaghetti Junction, BOB 3 stars - I expected more based on the Outkast I'd already heard
There are a couple of hits, it's well written beat wise. I get why they are a important group of the 00s hip hop scene and has a cultural impact. But for me personally it is not the most interesting music and i wasn't that into hip hop in my early days. otherwise it would have been higher
I’d give the album a 5/10. Love OutKast but this album just didn’t do it for me. Of course there are a few classic songs on here but the project overall wasn’t for me. A little all over the place but true to who OutKast is, out of the box.
probably the hip-hop album i've enjoyed the most on here so far but there were just tooooooooo many of those interludes. whole album in general was just way too long.
I’m surprised I didn’t like this more. A couple absolute gems, but just not enough to sustain throughout for me.
Probably high 3 if not low 4. Great flow, great beats, great riffs! It went a bit long, and I didn't like the horny tracks, but the other songs were great.
I found a new song I hadn't known before (Gangsta Sh*t) which sounds very Memphis based.
Pretty interesting production, but the songwriting was not amazing
A few absolute classics, but the rest is just okay
this is a classic. some really fun stuff on here. i could really do without the interludes i just dont care for them. 7/10
Review got lost with bad signal but hey ho. In brief, enjoy the positive upbeat elements and that makes up for the lengthiness of the album and repetitive elements. Also nice interplay between the singers.
Tracks like 'So Fresh, So Clean' and 'Snappin and Trappin' just don't hit the mark for me. They represent what I often dislike about rap. Repetitive backgrounds and limited musicality with a rap layered over the top. Less 'sauce' and more substance, please. The album has so much content that it's probably impossible not to find a style that misses for me. However, a redeeming quality of the group is the diverse flow among the members, which adds an interesting element. It keeps the sound from going stale, and some of the delivery is the closest to singing I’ve experienced within this style of hip hop. While it does feature the occasional synth loop, its not too intrusive. You get a genuine variety of beats, styles, and instruments. The way they blend those with melody is, from that perspective, pretty cool. Ultimately, it’s an album that has a lot to say and doesn't rely just on being offensive, so I'm pleased with that. Especially as someone who has been very avoidant of R&B and Hip Hop in the past as a general rule. Not bad!
This is a very good rap album. But it's still a rap album. There is a lot in here that sounds ahead of it's time but it also falls down in some of the usual ways. It's overly long, annoying interludes, and at times is repetitive. The best thing about this album, other than it's prescience, is that it remains upbeat and fun to listen to despite some fairly hard themes. I didn't end up with the same fatigue as I sometimes have after an hour of violence and dark themes. Honourary mention for "Mrs Jackson" which is a great track that was played a lot during my uni days.
I am for real
Bangers are banging, but everything else is more meh... The beginning is great, but after bangers, it's just fillers. My favs were Ms. Jackson, So Fresh So Clean, Toilet Tisha (my fav besides the hits everyone knows)
Another album that is plagued by its size. There's plenty of good stuff here, and I can't deny that when Big Boi and Andre 3000 are together they have the ability to strike gold. But there are just as many misses here as there are mega hits. They're definitely an impressive duo, but this is ultimately a skip-around album. Personally, I can only handle so much of Andre 3000's channeling his inner Prince. Highlights: Ms. Jackson B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad) We Luv Deez Hoez (feat. Backbone & Big Gipp) Lowlight: I'll Call B4 I Cum (feat. Gangsta Boo & Eco)
I've never listened to a whole Outkast album so this was enlightening. I can understand why they got more radio play than other hip hop bands but they still feel like a proper rap group. I didn't know how Southern rap was distinctive from other regions and this album gives me some sense of it--not that I could define it, but I think I can hear it. It's also interesting to hear Andre 3000's early years given all that he has gone on to do in the last 25 years.
Overall, pretty good album, some of the songs are mediocre, some are remarkable, some of their more popular songs are off Stankonia, and some I'd never heard but had me hooked nevertheless by it's beat primarily. I'd give this album a 7/10, cause as much as there are some serious bangers, some fall short for me.
3.5! Some absolute classics on here, and I found it really easy to listen to even with the length. Ultimately not enough stood out for four stars, but I do love this band.
there are a bunch of great songs on this album and many that I could do without. I'm also done with "interludes". drop about five songs and all the interludes and i would I give it another star
I've always struggled with OutKast - they're obviously insanely talented but it always comes across as cold. It's never hit me on a gut level, it's always academic appreciation. This album was no different. Is it because I'm not from Atlanta? Maybe. Talented? Yes. Worth being on this list? Yes. Will I go back to it? No. Best Tracks: Gasoline Dreams (with Khujo Goodie); Ms. Jackson; B.O.B. - Bombs Over Baghdad
Hmm...I liked this less than expected based off my past experience listening to Outkast. Too many interludes that added nothing to the album. The songs that were hits were the best ones.
Some good tracks on here and some that feel like they were just experimenting and said wtf, throw it on anyway.
Oohhh very fun, definitely knew a few songs but had never listened to t he album before. Don’t know if I’ll return to it, but glad I listened to it tho
Gasoline Dreams is a banger, literally. So Fresh, So Clean is so fun. Ms. Jackson is a classic. ? is so so good. This album unfortunately has way too many interludes, so scoring down based on that.
Some great bits but way too long. Enough with the interlude skits.
not bad
Couple of good songs
The question going into Stankonia was were any of the other tracks going to be up there with 'So Fresh, So Clean', Ms Jackson, and Bombs over Baghdad? Unfortunately the answer for me was no, which leaves this album a bit of a bloated mess at over 70 minutes.
Lots of upbeat, good quality songs, although a bit too frenetic for me.
Of its time. Favourite track: Ms. Jackson
Up & down, I liked Gasoline Dreams and Ms Jackson, didn't like Snappin' & Trippin' and We Luv Deez Ho*z. A lot of social commentary which I feel requires a second listen to fully parse, but at 1hr10ish for 24 different tracks I might not. Still engaging though
I love Outkast and have very fond memories of this classic album! I have to say, though, sacrilege as it may be, that like most hip-hop albums I've ever heard, it's too long and really dips in the second half. Lots of high highs in the first half. B.O.B is probably my favorite Outkast song!
I know the respect this album gets… not my jam
Helllll yeah
I'm always a little nonplussed with OutKast, he deserves a spot on the list but I can't say how high
My only past experience with Outkast is Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, and it's safe to say that was not a positive experience. Without the much stronger disc 2 of that album, it would have nothing going for it, and even with that disc it's far too long for comfort. Stankonia is a more reasonable length (though still too long for an LP). There are plenty of good full-length tracks here and only a few duds* (plus all the interludes, which are throwaways almost by default), so it's easy to shave this down to 40-50 minutes. I have no idea why this wasn't done. Outkast's monotone moaning is nothing to write home about. The opening track, Gasoline Dreams (let's ignore the one minute of sexual moaning that is Intro), is yet another bland attempt at giving the police the middle finger. Which, don't get me wrong, is an important message. But apparently it doesn't make for good-sounding music. The next song, So Fresh So Clean, is a big improvement, mostly for the stylish falsetto chorus and wah-wah synth. There's also a nice keyboard line in the verses that imitates the chorus melody – a subtle detail, and very cool. Ms. Jackson is also an instant classic, and it's obvious why. The chorus is groovy, soulful, unmistakeable. In contrast, the verses are nothing amazing, though using reversed SFX is a fun touch. Bombs Over Baghdad is another pretty good song (and we're less than halfway through the album). The mood is rushed, aggressive, a call to action. You might notice I'm disregarding the interludes. There's a good reason for that. For reasons unknown, they leapt into the musical norm in the early 90s, and (at least in hip-hop and R&B) have been unshakeable ever since. "I'll Call B4 I Cum"? Oh dear. (Unfortunately, that synth riff goes kinda hard.) [*The duds in question include "?", Snappin' & Trappin', Gasoline Dreams, and Red Velvet.] 3/5 Key tracks: So Fresh So Clean, Ms. Jackson, Xplosion
Not my thing, but good quality music
Very high highs, very low mids. The first half of the album had me thinking this would be my first 5 star, with classics like Ms Jackson and B.O.B, but the second half felt like a bit of a let down, lacking the energy and pickup of the first. The interludes (or interlewds as they were) felt very out of place and jarring against the rest of the album and didn't add much to the cohesiveness of the record.
This had some hits I didn’t expect. Fun and easy listening
Very different and unexpected
Vähän tuntuu taas menevän liian pitkäks tää levy ja kerkee kyllä tylsistymään svengien soidessa. Onhan siellä ihan kivoja biisejä joukossa, mutta suurin osa melkosta samaa mössöä
Ei ihan perusräppäilyä, vaan mukavan erilaisia stygejä. Ei tätä silti heti uudestaan kuunnella tarvitse. 3/5
Ihan hyviä biisejä, mutta saatana kun on pitkä levy tämäkin. Meinasi kyllä kyllästyminen iskeä. Mielestäni oli kyllä parempi, kun se aikaisempi Outkast mikä tässä on tullut. Mennään kolmosella.
it's alright
It was alright, definitely some good songs in here but it went on for soooo long. And too much moaning interludes for me.
Original e c ok
C’est intéressant qq bons sons mais j’aime pas trop leur manière de rapper
Standout tracks: Ms. Jackson Spaghetti Junction Humble Mumble Red Velvet Toilet Tisha I really wasnt a fan of this album. It felt very experimental and i couldn't get behind it at all. There were a few songs that i enjoyed but not enough to enjoy the album. There were tons of interludes giving the album more of a story telling feel compared to most hiphop albums which i thought was cool.
I'm not really a rap fan. This is more than just standard rap, though. It has fun drum beats, guitars, and melodies. I also heard different sounds and instruments being used as well as r&b influences. I didn't really care for the interlude tracks, however. Overall, a pretty fun listen with real life themes, but I will say the first half of the album is definitely stronger than the later half ("Gasoline Dreams" and "B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)" in particular).
Packed full of great songs. Bombs over Baghdad is a personal top for me
Too many interludes, too long, but good to listen to the non massive hits I hadn't heard in ages
I love the production of this album. I love some of the songs on this album. I'm not sure I completely love the album.
Well this was a bit of a treat to someone who had not heard it before. 3.5 for me
My 4th favourite OutKast album, love it. Tom.
As Outkast entered the 2000s, their sound saw a pretty drastic shift from some of the more stylized and more lyrically dense music for a much more straightforward Pop Rap approach. Don't get me wrong this album is far from radio material but it is very obvious to see just how much more accessible the production, rapping, and even songwriting is here than some of the group's previous material. As much as I really wanted to love this album, I simply could not. The direction is a bit all over the place and the interludes really bog up what would be a pretty solid album into one I feel many people look back on quite too fondly and don't highlight the flaws enough. I feel when looking at this album and then again their iconic double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, the problems arising from this tonal shift with Outkast become more abundantly clear. They simply do not know how to cut out the fat and instead throw everything at you and hope for the best. Stankonia could have easily been a 30-40 minute long album but was instead stretched way past its' limit to 1 hour and 13 minutes and I find that to be quite excessive. For as negative as I am being I do not hate this album, but I feel its' nostalgia factor has worn off quite significantly in my mind.
Seems quite common now but this was a very different sound when released. Some huge tracks on there, could do without the late 90s/00s “skits” on every track though
Maybe I was just not in the mood for it, but this felt way less consistent than I remembered. The highs were still really high, but the rest was kinda meh and bloated.
Klart mere min generation af Hip-hop. muligvis fordi det går væk fra at tage sig selv alt for alvorligt. Her er der både plads til at variere lyden, men også stemningen - det er nok især fordi der er så mange gæster på albummet. Boogie baskeren: Ms. Jackson er altid et skønt genlyt. - Sjov detalje. PT. har Ms. Jackson 1.5 milliarder lytninger, mens "Good hair" har mindre end 3000 lytninger selvom nummeret kun er 14 sekunder. Så der er ret tydeligt ikke et album som bliver streamet fra start til slut normalt. :)
There’s so much personality in André 3000 and Big Boi’s performances, which brings a tonne of energy to the album. Combined with some very punchy production (Especially on tracks like Bombs over Baghdad and Xplosion) and it’s hard not to bob your head for the entirety of the hour+ runtime. Not sure I can get into the interludes to be honest. When I’m already a little weary about how long this album is, they just get a liiiiittle annoying. Wasn’t really pulled in by the humour of them either. Heavily felt some fatigue on the back half of the album. If this was trimmed down it’d be an all-timer.
Mrs. Jackson was familiar. The rest was too long. Maybe a good look at life in inner-city Atlanta. The usual macho bravado and libido of hip-hop, with the occasional smooth turn of a lyric but more often predictable.
I did enjoy this album
Not bad, some catchy tunes, and some upbeat numbers, but also some less interesting raps
Pretty good, my kids liked it
BREAK! or also called, annoying interlude. I like music in my albums not skits. Nevertheless. This album had some good music. But also, it's rap, which I'm still not the biggest fan of. Hoping this challenge can change that, but for now 3 because of the hits.
They’ve always been more of a singles group for me and this album doesn’t change much. “So Fresh, So Clean” and “Ms. Jackson” are all time smash hits and there’s a few other good tracks here as well, but also some clunkers. Couldn’t care less about the interludes.
This album was good but id be lying if i said i liked it as much as i wanted to. The loud and funky production is great, and the contrast between 3K and Big Boi is really fun, but maybe it was just me, but I felt it was lacking the bangers I wanted out of it. Maybe that’s my expectations getting the better of me but I still felt a little let down. I still liked it a fair bit, just wanted a little more.
2-3 gute Lieder sind dabei aber vieles ist kinda meh. Hab erwartet, dass ich es mehr mag, tue ich nur leider nicht. Allgemein ist das Album sehr lang aber tut nicht viel trotz seiner Länge. Höhepunkt(e): So Fresh So Clean, Ms. Jackson Tiefpunkt(e): Vorallem die Interludes, Intro und Outro sind komisch. Und circa die Hälfte der Lieder. Rating(e): 5/10
not my fav album but some objectively good songs
Досить приємне звучання, мені сподобалось декілька пісень.
Some okay beats here but not for me. Gasoline Dreams was kind of good and Xplosion, Humble Mumble, Red Velvet. probably going with a 3 here.
Lots of cool sounds, beats, flow. The skits break the momentum, though. Could have been 4 stars. 3 stars.
Super interesting and unique album. Creative production. It’s a tad too long. I prefer ATLiens and Aquemini, but this one is a close third. 3.6/5.0
Tedious sometimes, fun other times
3.5. some of the songs were weird but i liked it overall. just not something i’d listen to again :P
7/10
Prob my fav rap album so far
Though I've never really fancied myself an OutKast fan, I have to say this was pretty good. It had a lot of range and kept things interesting the whole way through. Stylistically, it can most easily be called rap/hip hop, but really is much more than that. So much more that it kinda circles back around to just bearing the rap/hip hop moniker. I don't generally love the genre, but I was still able to enjoy this one well enough. There was a heavy use and range of melodies on the album, which I enjoyed compared to just steady flows. The structure of the album reminded me a bit of Public Enemy, but with early Kanye West-like concepts and production and more vocalization. There's also a variety of topics on there you might not see on many other hip hop and rap albums, or at least not presented the same way. I did think it suffered a bit from all the featured artists. When the majority of the full-length songs include a feature (sometimes multiple), it gets a bit distracting to listen to. It feels less like the main artists' album in a way. Another issue I had was the length. I had to pause my listen a few times given it runs 73+ minutes. I'm not sure it's really justified being that long, even if most of the songs on it were good. It causes the good songs to lose their momentum and the OK songs to muddle, stagnating (stank-nating?) the album. As a whole, I thought this was a solidly good album. It probably would have been better if it was 3/4 as long, but it had enough to keep it interesting despite the length. There were some really good songs on it and no real bad ones. Even though I don't usually love the style of music, I still found it a good listen. Overall: 3.4/5
Three stars. Only because it’s carried by 2 great songs
Musically, I enjoy this but it is a bit bloated with interludes and filler tracks.
Stank you. Very much
The good is really good but there's a lot of fillers in here
I enjoyed the hits
Experimental, I like. Very ahead of it's time.
It was great for the most part, but not really the style of music I go out of my way to listen to. The hits on the album are undeniable.
I had it playing in the background, but it wasn’t rlly my favorite. It’s not my style but I obv like ms.jackson bc who doesn’t? I don’t think I would listen to it again but I liked the exposure to a different kind of music!
3 songs saved (ms. Jackson, so fresh so clean, red velvet). Others are so so
Álbum divertido. Dá pra curtir. QKZXHBB HADES.
I managed to listen to this twice, which is surprising as it's 73 flipping minutes long, and I'm glad I did, if only because it confirmed everything I thought on first listen. They promise funk, and there certainly is a distinctive sexy/funky feel to this, but in most other ways it follows standard hip-hop tropes. Overlong. Crude/unfunny interludes. A few cracking tunes and a whole load of filler. Slightly less bling bling and slightly more jaded lyrics than west coast G funk, but otherwise nothing new.
I didn't really get into Outkast until Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, so it was great to fully listen to this album and appreciate another of their really influential releases.
I liked this album the most so far
Non male, non avevo mai ascoltato tanto degli outcast fuori da hey ya
Legends, aquemini best rap album all time
I’d rate a 3.5. It’s a little bloated and could do without the interludes.
the songs were all JUST A BIT too long. I liked so fresh, so clean (and it’s the only one can I can remember).
I LOVEE THIS ALBUM THIS IS SO MY MUSIC TASTE YAYYAYYAYAYAY
bleh
Good but a little too long. Too many skits. Some absolute bangers. They really need half stars so I can give this a 3.5.
Def a little long, the three singles are all incredible, but gasoline, humble mumble and spaghetti junction were all new to me and awesome as well. Favorite skit is Kim & Cookie, was legit loling. 3.5 rounded down bc 74 mins is just too much.
Pretty catchy and overall good
Vond vooral de bangers die ik al kende erg leuk en “Humble Mumble”. En vette afspeel-visual
1er album : je m'attendais pas à tomber sur celui-ci, je connaissais que deux sons de base, et c'est drôle de se rendre compte que le reste des sons ne sont absolument pas dans le même délire. J'aime bien les touches funky mais c'est un peu répétitif et beaucoup trop d'interludes. Je pense pas que je l'écouterais en boucle. La cover est juste trop classe par contre. Le feat avec Erykah Badu est très cool.
The sense of humor on this album doesn't exactly work for me. I bounce off of a lot of the songs here because of that. Speakerboxx / The Love Below is a greatly superior album for me. The singles stand the test of time, but the rest doesn't get me all too excited. A pretty soft 3-star review.
Synes dette var litt rotete, men til tider kult og vibey. Hører på en måte at det er bra beats, effekter og tekster, men likevel synes jeg det er litt masete. Liker singlene og et par andre sanger litt. Skal høre gjennom albumet igjen, tipper at jeg kan like det bedre da.
A wonderfully thick and bizarre collection of massive pop-rap hits, and stanky weirdness. Like a nation of individuals, creative, and elegant and flawed at the same time. Humble Mumble hits even harder now than it did when I first heard this. The 4th quarter of the album, lacking any of the radio hits, nor any material at all that could be considered radio-ready, is an interesting choice of songs. On one hand it feels like outtake material tacked on at the end, but there is a weight that keeps me coming back and finishing the album.
Banging
Wildly exuberant. MC role never seemed so much like a Bard. Great interludes. Started to drag and over indulge at places.
3 Stars - In my opinion it is incredibly volatile Album with some high highs such as "B.O.B" "Xplosion" "Ms Jackson" Rivaled with some Hard Listens with "Snappin' & Trappin'" "We Luv Deez Hoez" Overall I expected more from the hype however somewhat dissappointed.
Not really my style but the songs were pretty catchy
It would be 2* but there is Sorry Mrs. Jackson, one of my all time favourite songs, on it so...
A classic for a reason. Reminds me of high school.
I mean….a classic. Iconic. Historical. All that. I feel like my first mainstream introduction to funk (?). Not an everyday listen for me BUT famous for a reason. Love OutKast.
only liked the first song tbh
it's mostly meh. i see why it is popular, but it is very monotonous and too long. Nothing really stands out. B.O.B was the one notable track and then was a decent section of the album with the 2 or 3 songs after it. 3 stars
Crispy, crunchy beats. Snap, crackle, bop! There's some terrific stuff on here - BOB, Gasoline Dreams, Ms Jackson... But, as others have said, it's just too long. Just because a CD has a 73 minute capacity, it doesn't mean you have to fill it to the brim. Loses a star for being 30 minutes too long.
More hit and miss rap. Had less talk of bitches and dicksucking than others, so that’s a positive. And B.O.B. is an absolute banger.
Forever-ever?
could do without the interludes, and too long, some real nice songs on here though, but again too long Outkast
strange beats i’m not sure i love, but def got a few bangers
Not my cup of tea.
Good solid album but why do they still put interludes and skits in there, like there is no need for them at all
This was part of the soundtrack of 12 year old boys in a rich white rural community during what felt at the time like a trough of culture. The endless rapid fire rhymes enumerating all of the various ways Andre 3000 has in fact had sex and the 'Explicit' label on the cover was just irresistible to a bunch of virgins doing the De-generation X 'suck it' motion. It took so long to get through this album in 2025. Having to go through so many hiphop albums that clock in over an hour when half of it is interludes and skits is just exhausting. I'm giving an extra star for Bombs over Baghdad which I will always remember as a song defining that era of the war in Iraq and how disgustingly ostentatious everything was at the time.
Kolmas räppilevy putkeen ja myöskin paras sellainen tähän asti. Tälle voisin jopa antaa heikot neljä tähteä. Biiseissä oli mukavasti vaihtelevuutta ja näiltä kavereilta onnistuu laulaminenkin. Biisien välissä olevat sketsit eivät itselleni oikein toimineet ja yli 70-minuuttinen kesto on vähän liikaa. Muuten positiivinen kokemus.
This was ok. The sex songs are pretty juvenile
The album started so strong for me, So Frsh and So Clean and Ms Jackson were incredible opening songs, but the middle really lost its way to the point where I almost stopped listening. Then B.O.B. came on and that saved it for me. Loved the Erykah Badu feature. It's an ambitious album, politically aware, sonically interesting, but it just wasn't for me. Still 3.5/5 though, when it works it's fantastic.
• produzione extra crispy. • toilet tisha è un titolo folle per una canzone del genere. • manifesto più outro interminabili e interludi per il mondo intero..
didn‘t expect this for day 1, but i enjoyed it! really made me feel nostalgic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ tho because i probably wouldn‘t listen to it often.
3.5 rounded down to a 3
Three starts for a “rap” album is about as high as it’s gonna get for me. Many song remind me of my high school days.
This is the first rap album on this list I actually enjoyed listening to. If Killer Mike's in it, I'm probably going to enjoy it. Still stupidly misogynistic. I've heard the word bitch thrown out about 200 times more than I've listened to any Albums by Bitches on this list.
It was ok as background music. Didn't like it as well as The Love Below/Speakerboxx.
dragut dar nu chiar genul meu
not super my thing, I liked a couple of songs and understand it was super influential but prob wont listen again
Some great songs, but album is too long and dragged down by skits.
As much as I like some of the songs on this album (Ms. Jackson, Fresh and Clean), most of it was a lot of fluff, and it was too long. A bit disappointed, as I really like the “best of” Outkast.
This was good -definitely an innovative rap sound from the traditional East-coast/West-coast- but wouldn’t consider it ‘great’ aside from a couple hits and new discoveries (“Spaghetti Junction” and maybe “We Luv Deez Hoez”)
I'd never listened to a full Outkast album before; I just know a handful of their songs.
I think I own a copy of this somewhere. It's long. It almost felt like a slog to listen to this time. I do have a few favourites. Big Boi makes a lot of innuendos and Andre3000 performs well. But, by the 1 hour mark, I was honestly a bit bored. So Fresh and and So Clean - now that is a jam. 3 stars.
Would have been a 4/5 stars as a tight 45min album. Bagginess drops it to a 3.
A longer one. I’ve been meaning to catch up on music i was too young to listen to when it came out. Actually, this album is older than I am by a couple months. It’s fine. I can move my head to it.
Suffers from being about 25 minutes too long. Obviously they were having a lot of fun! Absolute classics here "Ms Jackson", "So Fresh and Clean", BOB
A couple of power house singles and I definitely saved a few off. A few songs that in my opinion went on a little too long and a few times throughout the album where it began to feel a little one note to me unfortunately. The really high points carried the low points.
The best songs are really good, the rest was pretty boring to me. If this is the best rap album of the century (according to the top rating) then I have no hope. 3/5
3/5 bizarre is the perfect word for this album. Funky beats and sounds cool most of the time. Just not sure what to make of it at all. Probably would need more time/listen throughs to really make up more of an opinion.
Love the "Break!"
Pretty good, a little too long to stay engaged with.
Lost a star because of how many interludes (terrible skits) there were. Got it back because the beats in Snappin’ and Trappin’ reminded me of Earthbound
I thought I’d like it more after listening to Ms. Jackson a lot, it’s a bit more on the repetitive side, and the interludes ruin the flow for me. Some standouts for me were Ms. Jackson, Stankonia, and B.O.B.
This was really good. Even the skits, usually the worst part of rap albums, were crazy brief and effective.
I didn't vibe to it as much as I thought I would. As when this album was released, I had it on a fairly high rotation. Bit if a shame really.
Great production and some classics, but also a few song with problematic lyrics! Highlight - Ms. Jackson
Excellent album but overlong
Didn't love it - didn't hate it. I think I don't get it.
I like this slightly more than the last OutKast album I was subjected to, I suppose. “Bombs Over Baghdad” is annoyingly catchy and I hate “Ms Jackson” a bit less than I hate “Hey Ya!”, so it has that going for it. It’s still a good 30mins too long (drop the interludes!), and I still don’t get what all the fuss is about OutKast generally. Really it’s a 2.5*, but you’ve caught me on a good day.
I spent most of the day after listening to this with So Fresh, So Clean stuck in my head. It's not even the best track on the album, it's just infuriatingly catchy. The best song is of course Ms. Jackson which is one of the absolute best songs of the early 2000s. Overall, I dislike most of the interludes, which make a very long album longer than it needs to be, and there are some... questionable... lyric choices in places, but when it's good, it's really good. I actually liked Speakerboxxx/The Love Below better as a whole (or two halves I guess), so this is a 3/5
Tough one. A lot of really good here. But the album is fairly repetitive in tone and it’s quite long. Tough combo.
From a listening perspective, this is a 2.5 for me, but you can see the influence this had on a lot of later rappers I love (Childish Gambino, Tyler the Creator) and there's quite an eclectic collection here, with a lot of fun interludes.
Highlights: So Fresh So Clean, B.O.B. In a nutshell: a fresh formula "Everybody's been doing music like they all have the same formula — e = mc2. They get a beat, an MC, somebody to sing the hook, and go platinum. Where's music going to go when everybody's trapped in this same repetitious flow?" Big Boi, Billboard Magazine (September 2000) Hip hop and rap sounded moody, flat and predictable for much of the 90s. Stankonia changed that in 2000. It is a refreshing fusion inspired by Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Little Richard, Funkadelic and Parliament. Light on the samples, frenetic BPM, positive vibes, danceable...and someone is *singing*!?! The interludes annoyed me, yes. Some lyrics are a little cringe. Some songs could have been shorter. What made me overlook these flaws is how random it is. Andre 3000 and Big Boi have great flow too. In my eyes, this is one of the best albums of the genre. Why? It doesn't retread the same path. Overall: 5/10
Better than expected. Of course there are some great tracks on there, but the b-sides shocked me. They were pretty decent. The closing track is particularly good.
A couple of favorites but have a feeling the album will grow on me.
i‘ve been sleeping under a rock wird es hip hop stable in dis house kenne ja scho paar tracks, abr es isch echt coolio weiss zwar nid viu über dtexschte abr dr flow, rhythm u dr augemein ufbou findi top
I love the singles, but this was overly long.
Good rap record but I found their other album on the list to be more interesting. It was fine “Ms. Jackson” is great, but the rest of it was a little meh for me.
Nada mal, nada guau Nota: 3.0
Decent but too long
I wasn't impressed...
Found some of it interesting, some not so much.
Ms Jackson is still the best track on the album
The start of the album is... how would I say this... ''unique''. But the whole album has some very fun songs and interludes. It felt like I was watching a skate or snowboard competition!
Lots of great hits on here, and the beats are immaculately produced. I do feel that the more conscious hip-hop tracks on here kind of get undermined by the constant sexual innuendos.
The interludes were bothering me and it was a bit too long. But the hits and b.o.b. are great songs.
Ms Jackson, So fresh and so clean, and B.O.B. were huge hits when they came out. Probably peak Atlanta rap. This album was constantly playing.
Stanky. In a tribute to Parliament kind of way. Besides the singles from this the rest is okay. Their virtuosity is obvious. The interludes got a little annoying.
It was tolerable- still dislike all those skits and really wasn’t into the guest rappers
Beaucoup de banger, mais les interludes sont un peu much
This is a well respected and clearly coherent Rap/Hip-hop album, but is just too hardcore for my delicate sensibilities. Also, it's long; It's over an hour with lots of songs and interludes. Pitchfork: 9.5 Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #64 Best Songs So Fresh, So Clean Ms. Jackson
Landmark record for the group, wasn't familiar with their music in general, so it was new for me; plenty of songs to pass the time, some more energetic than others and a couple very famous ones. It was great.
Esse disco gosta de te iludir. Você olha a capa inegavelmente icônica, lê o nome “Outkast”, que é um nome de peso, e pensa que está prestes a ouvir um ótimo disco. Não sei vocês, mas só de ver essa capa, eu lembro de todas as faixas clássicas que ele contém. So Fresh So Clean, Ms. Jackson, B.O.B… Ótimas canções que marcaram a vida de inúmeras pessoas! Mas por isso digo que é um disco que te ilude. Pois ele não é essas faixas. Ele possui essas faixas, sim, mas ele também possui muitas outras faixas completamente inconsequentes, e interlúdios incessantemente irritantes, bregas e toscos. O grande mau do rap dos anos 90. Começar com os positivos, quando o assunto é habilidade técnica, há pouquíssimos rappers no nível de Andre e Big Boi. Os caras são inegavelmente bons, mas em algumas faixas, eu particularmente fico cansado do estilo vocal, o tal do rap rápido. Às vezes eu acho meio tosco, mas nem sempre. A produção do disco também é interessante e eclética, com elementos de diversos gêneros combinados, uma mescla bem simbólica da época em que o disco foi produzido. Mas lá vamos nós, já estou ficando careca de dizer essas mesmas coisas pra TODO álbum de rap dessa lista… Mas 1h13?! OITO interlúdios? 24 faixas??????? Cara. Bota alguém digno pra montar um disco apertadinho de 45 minutos com o material verdadeiramente bom deste álbum e você teria um 5/5 fácil e indiscutível. Mas minha conclusão é que Outkast é um daqueles grupos melhor aproveitado em dosagens curtas. Os temas sonoros e líricos rapidamente começam a te cansar conforme você vai ouvindo. Claro, os refrões de Ms. Jackson e de So Fresh So Clean ficarão presos na sua cabeça por semanas, mas o resto do disco vai direto pra lixeira do seu inconsciente. 3/5
A lot of the songs are really good, and it was nice to experience the album once, but I don't think I'd listen to it again with all the skits.
ta bien
Song certified bangers, but also some songs that are out there.
There's a lot to love and respect here, but the rest I strongly disliked.
Sounds like a good representation of the genre. Some humour. Some social criticism. Some detailed biology. We luv deez hose is catchy. It's an album. Not my thing but if the critics put it here it's not for me to say no.
Liked the variation through the album. Wasn’t a big fan of the interludes. Really enjoyed some of the songs but others weren’t really my thing. Wouldn’t listen again as an album but there are some tracks I would keep listening to. Fav song: Ms Jackson - also liked Gasoline Dreams and Spaghetti Junction Least fav: We Luv Deez Hoez
This guy is obsessed with stank/ smell puns what the hell. Really liked a few of the songs but a few too weird and a few too horny. Specific rating 3.5 Fav song - ms Jackson Least fav -I’ll call b4 I cum
There were some others songs I quite liked but none of them came close to Ms. Jackson which makes it really hard to rate! Think the fact I accidentally listened to the clean versions can only have helped my rating. Favourite song: Ms. Jackson Least: Red Velvet
Not bad at all. Not all to my taste, but still a good album.
Not as good as the hype made it out to be…
Reminiscent of college, but not my style
Interesting
Couple of nostalgic tracks from my college years, but this dropped on the wrong day for me to fully absorb or enjoy. I may have to listen again in the future when my head and heart are in the right place…
Not as good as yesterday's double album
Ok
Музыка: 7/10 Разнообразие: 7/10 Тематика и вайб: 7/10 Цепляемость (отдельные песни зашли): 7/10 Реиграбельность (можно ли рандомно врубить на фон): 7/10 Итог: 7.0
First off, got a few songs into this before I realized 'e' means explicit, not edited! (I prefer the unedited version), so trying again with the uncensored album. I know a handful of songs from this one, but an shocked I've never listened to the full thing. It wasn't bad! But it definitely felt like it lost some steam in the second half.
3/5, i've never been a fan of interludes and this album is no exception. some great songs here but also some real swings and misses
Obviously a classic, but at the same time not really for me. I have heard this album before but I think I skipped past most of the interludes which I listened to this time and they didn’t really add anything. I don’t really enjoy interludes. I think there is some great songs on here but it’s over an hour run time drags at points.
Musica black Estaba bastante bien Muchos interludes no se pq
Outside the hits, didn't grab me. Excellent production, of course. But thematically uninteresting and not very compelling for my tastes. The same tendency for over-repetition that I didn't enjoy on Speakerboxxx//The Love Below also showed itself in some songs on this album. May revisit 2-3 songs, but not much more than that. Weak 3/5.
known
3.4 Torn on this. This list has changed my opinion on rap/hip-hop. I can now appreciate it some times. This album contains some of the parts about it I like - completely layed/textured beats, interesting songs, non grating lyrics. On the other hand, it contains various songs that are the exact type I severely dislike, the over the top gangsta/misogynistic shit - We Luv Deez Hoes, Gangsta Shit, I'll Call Before I Cum. Those songs alone (+ a few others) kneecap the album and stop it from reaching very good territory imo.
хотела поставить 4 звезды, но какой же он сука длинный... из этого можно было бы сделать просто отличный альбом на 45 минут, в целом он прикольный и качовый
Entertaining mix of rap, funk and hip hop.
Not bad.
I'm not very far into this project, and I keep encountering albums where I know the singles/hits pretty well, but have basically zero knowledge of the album cuts. For me, the singles were by-far the strongest tracks here with a couple deeper cuts surprising me. Standout Track(s): Gasoline Dreams, B.O.B.
Not their best record and why does BOB last longer than 3 mins?
This is a bit different. It's quite quirky, but a lot of the tracks land. Good production in general, and it's quite varied across the runtime. I really like the more upbeat tracks with heavier drums. They seem like fun dudes. 3.5 rounded down.
Although I never really liked dirty south as a subgenre, I used to give OutKast a pass because Andre 3000 is an absolute beast of a MC. His flow is extremely technical and versatile, making him one of the best MCs of his generation. The three first OutKast albums were solid offerings, with a dark and sober tonality. I’ve listened to AtLiens and Aquemini quite a few times, and they never get old. Stankonia, however, marks a drop in quality in my humble opinion. It’s more pop-ish, loud and messy than their previous works. The production is all over the place, and there are far too many skits. This album is a perfect example of why a good MC isn’t enough to make a good hip hop record – although the flow is still great in itself, it tends to get drowned in a cacophony of sounds. With Stankonia, OutKast is flirting with pop-rap. Kind of a disappointment. The only truly great track of the album for me is "X-plosion".
First, they were one of the most original rap groups out there, though I think they’re out of the game now. Back in 2000, this album managed to keep an alternative edge and a weird vibe while still being hugely popular. Nice to hear B-Real featured. André 3000’s voice can get on my nerves sometimes, but I still enjoy the mix and enjoy most of the tracks. I had’t listen to it for at least 15 years but is still kicks ass.
One of the better Hip-Hop records on the list, but that's probably OutKast are just far and beyond pretty much any other act in the genre. The beats are creative and ecletic, the raps are delivered with the utmost charisma by both Big Boi and André 3000, cool guest features, and good hooks. However, this album is still plagued by 90's-00's hip-hop album nonsense, such as being too long and peppered with very dated and incredibly cringe skits. Key tracks: Ms. Jackson B.O.B.
Some classics but overall too much filler
Some great tracks on here but a very long album. Would need to listen to again to judge the consistency.
Some absolutely classic songs on this album! A lot of songs I could do with never hearing again. VERY uneven quality wise. Then again, what do I know? I prefer Big Boi over Andre 3000.
High highs (Ms. Jackson) low lows (We Luv Deez Hoez).
Surprisingly, more to my taste than I had expected.
The hits are really great but the rest is meh for me. 3/5
Not my genre but better than I expected
Another hip hop album that was quite tuneful. Some nice grooves on this although personally I don’t think I’ll ever fully get my head around the genre
Пару знакомых треков, но не мое
Was okay with it on in the background but couldn't finish - not my vibe. Some good songs mixed in though.
i always liked andre 3000
Pretty kick ass hip hop. It's amazing how a little musicality elevates the sound.
I’d like to see an OutKast reunion
OutKast's sound is exactly as I remember it. Wild, fun, something you can truly groove to. Often with a little hidden edge in the lyrics - most obviously in Mrs. Jackson. Sure, it's fun to dance to, but it's also a song about a guy apologizes to his girlfriend's mom for knocking her daughter up and running. The fact that it ends with the wedding march? *Chef's Kiss*. If the album has a weakness, it might be one time made. I know Outkast's sound so well by now that at a certain point some of the songs started to blend together. I think around the time B.O.B. hit I started drifting off. Could have used a little variety.
I liked some songs but didn't like a the rest that much
Couple iconic songs on here, didn't really care for the rest. Best song: So Fresh, So Clean Notable(s): Ms. Jackson
Few classics (Ms. Jackson for example) and a nice closer elevated this album for sure. Buuut as a whole? Not that amazing.
Some bangers and hits but too many skits and interludes.
Some good tunes, not their best
Started off hot but cooled off
Fine songs I just don’t like OutKast that much
Knowing the 2 leas singles (BOB & Ms. Jackson), and them being two of the finest early 00s rap songs I’ve heard, I expected a lot more from this album and found it disappointing. Despite its ridiculous length, to its credit I didn’t find it to feel too long. And while Big Boi and Andre are two of the most talented rappers of their era, their bars alone couldn’t save the album from its indulgent over abundance of pointless interludes and consistently sub-par beats.

Büro, Heidenheim, Deutschland. Feines Album, wenn auch etwas zu lang.

Miss Jackson is great. The rest... not so much
Buen disco de rap, tiene unos banggers, no es mi estilo
Bro the intro.. MY EARPHONE IS NOT CONNECTED!!! (not the album's fault lmao) I was about to say its slightly outdated, until i realized its published in 2000. NVM, its good. I really like an album with its own structure and devides itself with interludes.
Not my favorite outkast album, but still a banger
