Stankonia
saying outkast fell off a long time ago is obviously beating a 10-year old dead horse, but i was listening to a lot of outkast music over the last day or two, and i was wondering what the general consensus is of this album...
to me this album is a monumental tease, with the first song being real good and the album having a few peaks, but on its own merits this album, to me, is top to bottom a piece of shit.
i remember a really long time ago on either here or hhi, certain individuals really liked this album, so now 10 years later, are there people that still love this album?

"Gasoline Dreams"
"So Fresh, So Clean"
"Snappin & Trappin" (first Killer Mike/Mike Bigga verse ever released)
"Spaghetti Junction"
"I'll Call Before I Come"
"Humble Mumble"
"Red Velvet"
"Gangsta Shit"
"Slum Beautiful"
"Stankonia (Stanklove)"
All of those songs above are dope. I vehemently disagree with this topic. This album is my third favorite after "Southernplayalisticadillacmusick" and "Aquemini".

this album is amazing. don't really get the hate.
maybe because it's unconventional and has a lot of outside the box shit on it. But most if not all of the album is dope as fuck.
the flow on ? ......come on, shit's crazy. humble mumbles polyrhythmic feel in the chorus, the verses too, andre's verse on red velvet. all off the hook.
I rank the Outkast albums Aquemini, ATLiens, Stankonia, Southernplayalisticadillacmusick, simply for the fact that the I don't think Outkast really found their original voice on the debut, even though it's undeniably dope.

There are like 4 really songs i like on that album. a few more i think are ok.
I didn't hate it, I just also didn't give a shit about it. Especially after Aquemini , which was my shit.

Stankonia is my favorite Outkast album.
and you're fucking insane to think Outkast fell off.

The scope of the album for Outkast is pretty fucking big (nh). A lot more than a collection of "passable" cuts. I'm arguing my case to a guy who likes Mystikal and you to a guy who owns a CD with a FuseOne song on it, though.Blockhead wrote:huh?Employee wrote:/Blockhead wrote:Nuke wrote:Been a while since I've listened to it, but I only remember enjoying a couple songs on it.

Good album, but I think it could have been great. It was pretty inconsistant, but when I liked something I liked it a lot. The concept probably could have been executed better. It pales in comparison to their first 3 records, but it's still a good album. I can understand why someone would say they like it more so than 1 of the first 3 albums.

I wasn't a big fan of "Atliens". I think that album is extremely overrated. "Elevators" is one of Outkast's greatest cuts, but beyond that I have never really felt "Atliens". It came on the heels of their debut and it was way different than their first offering. Being different eventually became an Outkast staple and I started liking them more when they came back with "Aquemini"
I remember taking "Atliens" back to Wherehouse Music and exchanging it for "Ironman". Way better purchase.

Would've never had Employee down as a Stankonia fan.
I really wish D.F Interlude was a song. Them rhyming over that beat would've been nuts.
