Even for being hip hop artists, they're instantly recognisable and respected. They're probably undisputed best Southern hip hop artist of all time, they've released 4 classics. They're humble, accessible (in a good way). I understand that they went in a poppy direction, but they still made Hey Ya!, Roses, Unhappy, A Life in the Day of Benjamin André, etc... My dad hates rap, but even he loves Hey Ya! Andre 3000 is a legend and still is insane to this day.
Does anybody really hate Outkast?

I do
I only like love below so I guess
good god yeah, he's awful
love below is great.
related side topic -- Boomiverse is so fucking fun. i love being a dude in his mid 30's that can listen to dad-rap without losing any coolness because it's all gone now anyway.
I fucking love big boi
I used to be the stereotypical "rap is crap" type of person, and even then I had a soft spot for Outkast.
I don't HATE them, but I don't like them even a little.
I like hey ya and I am a person who absolute hates hip hop and rap and thinks it is complete trash. So I would say you are right user
No one hates OutKast, and no one hates Andre 3000.
That being said, if you do hate either, go ahead and kill yourself
I have very mixed feelings on Outkast. I love them because musically they're unconventional in hip-hop, but lyrically it's mostly hood nigga shit.
The Love Below is one of my favorite albums. Andre 3000 needs drop another project.
I first listened Aquemini today and didn't get it at all. The production really bores me. What am I missing?
good music taste
nah but fr give it another shot, but pay attention to the lyrics a little and/or just try to vibe with it. Aquemini is a relatively accessible record but the production is pretty different from East/West Coast production and is just weird enough that it may need another listen or two to sink in.
Found the man who skims through their music.
OutKast is known for being one of the few great hip-hop acts who weren't about all that hood nigga shit all the time.
I don't hate them but I really don't like listening to them. Myintrotoletyouknow, Player's Ball, and Roses are pretty much the only songs by them I listen to
i've been listening to a lot of abstract and experimental (a lot of anticon stuff) so it's more that the beats aren't weird enough
like, Art of Storytelling pt. 1 is an all-time great beat, but unfortunately I'd already listened to that one when I was younger (and the J. Cole rip-off).
I listen to ATLiens and Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.
listened*
Some songs like Art of Storytellin 1 and Skew It On the Bar-B have beats that are really in your face and banging, but a lot of beats (Aquemini, Liberation, Return of the G) aren't really supposed to pop like that and are really just there to supplement 3k/big boi's flow and lyrics, which are really on point especially in the 3 tracks I mentioned. So maybe if you keep the lyrics in mind more and just vibe with their flow, you'll come to like it?
Worst case scenario, you find out after a few listens that this album just ain't for you.
Give Aquemini a shot. They really only had one gangsta track (West Savannah) which was recorded from the Southernplayalistic days. The rest is about stuff like their bond as a group, them addressing their deviation from gangsta rap, future technology, and being dope.
Funny how you listened to ATLiens and got the gangsta vibe, I didn't get that at all.
Probably that most solid hip hop group ever. Though Idlewild is pretty meh.
I only listened to it once so maybe I'm retarded. Listening to Aquemini now, how's Idlewild?
>production really bores me
How can Spottieottiedopalicious bore anyone?
Never actually listened to Idlewild, but from what I hear it...doesn't really compare to their past records. Apparently Hollywood Divorce and a few other tracks are pretty great, so give that a shot if you end up liking Outkast and pull what you like from it.
Outside of a few people in Sup Forums, nah. They did piss people off when Southernplayalistic won it's Source award though because of their region
Why would Sup Forums hate Outkast? Big Boi is a libertarian AFAIK, unless you're talking about the white nationalism LARPers.
There's the threads where people ironically hate all black people music, but then there's always the one dude that is serious
