I forgot Idlewild. Christ, that was such a bad way to end things.

When was the last time you listened to Nos. 2, 3 and 4, though? I had that above Stankonia and maybe even Aquemini when I was in my all-rap phase in high school, but as I branched out I realized how brilliant Aquemini and Stankonia are.

I listened to the discography about a week ago. I went through a whole year of high school listening to OutKast 50% of the time I listened to music.

Southern has some of their best songs, period. You can say it's generic southern rap, but if that's the case sign me up. Aquemini is just a touch uneven, a couple songs I just skip. Stankonia, too. I always felt Stankonia was a touch overrated. Great album, 9/10, but slightly overrated. I'd give the first three on the list legitimate 10's.

Here's what I mean by "generic Southern rap": It doesn't push the boundaries the same way the other stuff does. SPCM was the last time OutKast sounded like any other group. Goodie Mob's Soul Food was a better extrapolation on the sound, in my opinion. Yes, it was consistent and had some absolute bangers on it. It's a great car album. But it's safe and predictable, at least compared to other OutKast material.

But I do agree that Stankonia can be a little inflated for its huge hits. The last few tracks are a bit gratuitous and self-indulgent. Aquemini, to me, is perfect.

Also, if Andre 3000 ever made an actual rap solo album (at least 20 rap verses by him, let's say), it might be the greatest thing ever.

This

southernplayalistic is great but they didn't get to their creative pinnacle yet

the other albums r dope in their own right and fit the time period released, but those r timeless
