    Putting Southern Rap on the map

    By Byg  May 3, 2006

    Pros: Best Duo since Run-DMC

    Cons: N/A

    This album was by far the best southern hip hop album, to me, of all times. It just oozed Southern Baptist straight outta the choir to the street and kicking it. It had it all. Not 1 track needs to be skipped when you are playing this.

    Their Only Good Album !

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 19, 2002

    This joint had to grow on me to! The beats were thick and Andre's flow was impressive. This album is a lot better than the crap they drop now. The best songs are "Crumblin' Erb", "Git Up, Git Out", "Call Of The Wild", "Ain't No Thang" and the title t...rack. They make music for white people and gay people now. You'll never hear this type of music from them again. I'll never buy anything from these pirates again. Read more Less

    It is on OutKast's debut album that the fledgling production team Organized Noize began forging one of the most distinctive production sounds in popular music in the '90s: part hip-hop; part live, Southern-fried guitar licks and booty-thick bass runs; and part lazy, early-'70s soul. The album was not only artistically successful but also thrived commercially, leaping into the Top 20 album chart on the back of the outstanding hit single "Player's Ball" and eventually going platinum. Although a little bit too dependent on overly simplistic and programmed snare beats, the music is unconditionally excellent, with languid, mellow melodies sliding atop rapid, mechanical drums. Organized Noize already had their distinguishing sound figured out, down to the last twanged, wah-wahed note. But what makes Southernplayalisticadillacmuzick such a wonderful album has even more to do with the presence of its rappers, Dre and Big Boi. No one sounded like OutKast in 1994 -- a mixture of lyrical acuity, ...goofball humor, Southern drawl, funky timing, and legitimate offbeat personalities. Few rappers of the '90s have displayed such an inventive sense of rhyme flow either, and few rap artists in general have ears as attuned to creating such catchy melodic and vocal hooks. Almost every song has some sort of tuneful chant or repetitive hook that marks it as instantly memorable. There are occasional dull and mediocre spots, such as "Call of Da Wild" and the overlong "Funky Ride," that can't even be elevated by a head-nodding bass line or a tricky rhyme. Such low points, however, are far outshined by the brilliant moments. Already an extremely strong showing, OutKast would continue to develop into one of the finest, most consistently challenging (not to mention booty-shaking) rap groups of the decade. - Stanton Swihart, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

OutKast

OutKast's blend of gritty Southern soul, fluid raps, and the rolling G-funk of their Organized Noize production crew epitomized the Atlanta wing of hip-hop's rising force, the Dirty South, during the late '90s. Along with Goodie Mob, OutKast took Southern hip-hop in bold, innovative new directions: less reliance on aggression, more positivity and melody, thicker arrange... Read more
