(C)Rank It! – Outkast
EDUTAINMENT By Gotty™ on May 24, 2008 at 7:56 pmAfter hearing Mundy & Kardinal Offishall question which was a better album – Aquemini or Atliens – I took it upon myself to listen to both albums over the past few weeks. And by strange coincidence, I felt motivated to go back and listen to Southernplayerlistic… as well.
So amidst all that listening along with listening to internal email debates within the Crew, the question shall be posed to you, dear reader.
Take a look @ their discography.
Now rank their albums.
Go!

Uno bitches!!!!!
I’m back! I was gone for a minute.
IMO…
1. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
2. Aquemini
3. Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below
4. ATLiens
5. Stankonia
6. Idlewild
… I still don’t think Idlewild should count as an album though.
aquemini was their pinnacle, the rest is hearsay. the love below was andres stellar solo emergence
My list goes….
1. Aquemini
2. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
3. ATLiens
4. Stankonia
5. Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below
6. Idlewild
…Let the debates begin.
Slow Motion coming out the gates strong…hehe
Big Boi handled His & proved He could go for delf, but even “The Way You Move”, He was overshadowed by 3 Stacks’ brilliance.
ATLiens
Aquemeni
Southernplayalistic
Stankonia
^ My last comment got all chopped up.
ATLiens all day…nuff said
Such a soulful album esp towards the end of it…WOW
Stankonia is a strong 2nd
As always…RMF!!!

==========
Put that @ the top of my list.
Ill ride wit Wit-E’ list!
I can’t front, ATLiens really put Me on to OutKast & remains a personal favorite, but if We’re judging which album is the best, front to back, Aquemini exemplifies all the best qualities of ‘Kast. Uptempo’s, introspective joints, outside the box joints, Aquemini runs the gamut. Not a skip song to be found. ATLiens gets kinda slow sometimes. And again, don’t get Me wrong, ATLiens knocks, but Ova Da Wudz & Elevators ONP 86 Mix could have easily been left on the cutting rom floor.
No way is Southernplayalistic… #1. Dre was still taking baby steps & really finding Himself as an MC. Classic album in a catalog of classics, but IMO, not numero Uno.
I’m gonna pull a bullshit move and say ATLiens and Aquemini tie for first. There’s no way to take one over the other for me. Then it’s SPCM and Stankonia in the middle, with Idlewild and LB/SB pulling up the back end. But really, Outkast on their worst day is better than 90% of others on their best.
ATLiens…….that’s all, good night.
Whut up Fonzy!!! Where ya been my dude???!!!
You’re right LC, that’s a bullshit move =)
If You could only have one OutKast album in Your collection, what would it be?
Being in this conversation a lot before I came to the conclusion that if you have their first 3 in any order for your top 3 I don’t think you can be wrong.
Atliens 1
Aquemini 2
That’s a cop out though. All 3 are classics & people have personal faves, but on a purely objective basis, there can be a top pick.
If you want to talk about their best album, the argument for Aquemini is stronger, but ATLiens is still my favorite.
1. Aquemini
2. ATLiens
3. Southernplayalistic
only ones i listen to constantly
hahaha alright Amp… you’re right. I have to take a stand. I’m going to say Aquemini… for myriad reasons, none of which take away from how great ATLiens is. But Aquemini might be like, THE album I would want on a desert island, were I stranded with only one record period.
Clearly if you go track for track, Aquemini bodies ATLiens on every song cept probably “Elevators” and “Ova Da Woodz” Vs. “Synthesizer” and “Slump” but they still lose in terms of subject matter. ATLiens is a seriously dope album but most of the song aren’t even about anything and the production probably comes in last in the diversity department. No way, no how is it touching Aquemini…its not even close…
Aquemini=Top Ten alltime.
Oh yeah…
1. Aquemini
2. Southernplayalistic…
3. Speakerboxxx/Love Below
4. ATLiens
5. Stankonia
I gotta disagree with You, TC, on a couple points. “Synthesizer” is a dope song! Dre snaps on that one. Sure, George Clinton is an aquired tate, but the subject matter was so timely & still relevant. And ATLiens has alotta freeform songs but “Jazzy Belle”, “13th Floor/Growing Old” &”Mainstream” are deep joints if You’re really listening. But all in all, We agree where it counts…
“Aquemini=Top Ten alltime”
Yezzir…
And LC, way to woMan up…=)
3. Speakerboxxx/Love Below
4. ATLiens
———————————————-
Really? You mean to tell Me that You can listen to either “Speakerboxxx” or “Love Below” without more than 2 skips?
1. ATLiens
2. Aquemini
3. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
4. Stankonia
5. Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below
@ Amp
Nah, I meant when you go track vs. track #6 on ATLiens (“Elevators”) is better than #6 (“Synthesizer”). Aquemini is fuckin’ flawless. “Nathanial” included. Not a wack second on there but I just did the track for track for track argument to one of my friends to show him how much stronger it is compared to ATLiens. Usually you compare songs of the same type but by doing it that way it highlights all the true classics on Aquemini. ATLiens ain’t got no “Art Of Storytellings” or “SpottieOttieDopalicious” on there. Like I said not close
and yeah. Love Below is truly incredible—but it’s not a Hip-Hop album. That’s the thing to remember. The problem is Speakerboxxx. Big Boi rap to some gawbage for real.
1. ATLiens
2. Aquemini
3. Southernplayalistic
4. Stankonya
5. Speakerboxx/Love Below
I’d have to put Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik as my #1 solely because that album was straight up funky! Organized Noize went to work on that album. Remember also, that this album recieved 4 1/2 mics in the Source. Damn, I’m old for even remembering that.
^^^ and Aquemini got 5
to ATLiens 4.
Very accurate.
1. Aquemini
2. ATLiens
3. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
4. Stankonia
5. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below <—-Speakerboxxx the best of these two
6. Idlewild
1-3 are straight up classics. 4 is a quality record. 5 is nice to play now and then, speakerboxxx has some nice jawns while the love below isn’t my cup of tea, it does feature “hey ya” which is one of the singles of the decade.
idlewild haven’t really listened to much. so i’ll put it down at number 6 for now.
the only other hip-hop group with so many classic records is a tribe called quest. therefore, on shear quantity of quality, these two groups must be #1 and #2 all time. i reckon outkast is #1 cos their non-classics are better than ATCQ’s.
1. ATLiens
2. Aquemini

6. Idlewild
@ Doug Howser, I wasn’t old enough to have that issue of the Source, but Big Boi adresses the grade on “Skew In on the Bar-B” too:
“I gotta hit the Source I need that other half-a-mic/ cuz that Southernplallisticcadillacmuzik was a classic right”
Oh and I realize this is my third post in a row but TC, the Source gave Aquemini 5 mics to make up for snubbing ATLiens and SPCM.
@ Jesse H.
You’re buggin….if You’re gonna dispute Aquemeni’s 5 mic status, use a rational argument, cause that makeup mic theory is weak. If they were gonna give those out, why wait for classic #3 to do it?
I got Aquemini down as my fav hip hop album period. To merge to styles and take a whole new directions musically and still make a banger is hard to do. Production and lyrically they bated a .1000
@ Jesse
I guess they forgot to give it 5 Mics again in 2003 when they wrote their wrongs and gave like 30 albums their just due…
1. Aquemini
2. Stankonia
3. ATLiens
4. SPCM

The first 6 are all classics though

And you guys KNEW I was coming in to wreck shop.
1. Aquemini
2. ATLiens
3. Southernplayalistic….
4. Stankonia
5. SB/LB
6. Idlewild
I don’t think I’ve ever skipped a track on Aquemini. Ever. And that edges out ATLiens, only because sometimes, I can’t listen to E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. Southernplaya… man, that’s the first one out the gate, even though, depending on what day it is, it’s switchable with Stankonia.
Idlewild is last, and to be honest, it really doesn’t belong there. But with ‘Kast and their catalog, it’s hard to even place it higher than last when they have so much through 14 (!) years of rhyming.
P.S. I’ve said my piece before on SB/LB and I still say it was a STRONG contender for album of the year in 2003. Hate me if you like, in your heart you know in 2003 it was a 3 man race for AOTY, and not one of those men was 50 Cent. Yeah, I said it.
Aiight… the Celtics won… now we’re one step closer to a LA/Boston NBA Finals. Happy about that.
Truth be told… on the first 3 albums I skipped at least 1-2 tracks on each one. I know I didn’t appreciate EVERY song on the first listen. I can listen to each of those albums without skipping now, but at the time of their release… nah… some of that shit was over my head. I’ll admit it.
Atliens all day. “Decautur Psalm” “13th Floor” “Two Dope Boyz” “Wailin”…the whole damn thing.
Aquemini can make me seasick if i listen to it on the wrong day. It’s definitely one of those albums that was lightyears ahead of the pack in terms of beats…but is that always good?
For the record – Speakerboxx jammed so hard. It just had the unlucky spot of being paired w/3000’s “creative and innovative” album. I never really got all the way into the Love Below. I did ride the hell out of Big Boi’s album though.
I did ride the hell out of Big Boi’s album though.
=========================
You’re not the only one.
I still pump both albums to this day.
Anybody accusing me of a OutKast stan…..
Would be right. LOL
“Atliens all day. “Decautur Psalm” “13th Floor” “Two Dope Boyz” “Wailin”…the whole damn thing.”
=======================================
You forgot “Jazze Bell” in that list. LOL
I used to have a fresh blend for that joint on a Lazy K mixtape with the beat from Mobb Deep’s “Give Up The Goods”… that tape got worn because I kept rewinding that joint.
When it’s all said and done… OutKast has put together some really amazing shit.
I could make an EP of Aquemini and it would be better than ATLiens
^ Plus the fact that they never got “Fugees” syndrome after putting together a classic album.
LMAO @ TC
@ TC
You not right. Not at all.
Funny.
But that ain’t right, dude. LOL
I’m saying though…
and both of ya’ll niggas know I’m telling the truth

6. Idlewild
Counting down the days until Sir Luscious Left.
@ TC
Yeah, you telling the truth.
But that makes all the accolades and testaments we’ve given OutKast over the years well deserved.
Somebody once said it’s one thing to have your body of work compared to other artists. This album is a classic, just like that one. That’s cool. But to have your body of work compared to your body of work? That’s a level that certain people don’t really see.
And like LC said, when your WORST album is better than 90% of the rest of the population? You’re something special.
P.S. @ TC
Prove it. LOL I wanna see this.
Oh of course. A 4 Cig/Mic whatever for Kast>Just about any 4 Cig album for another artist. They are by far some of the most talented artists in any genre we have ever seen…
O.K. I’ma do 6
Start off with “Aquemini” cuz it sounds like an intro @ the beginning. Bleed into “Rosa Parks” for track 2. #3 & 4 will be the the “Storytellings” and we’ll come back hard with “Skew It On The Bar-B” for track 5 before finishing in glory with “Liberation.”
Vòila! Aquemini Lite and still a classic!

Damn. You actually did it.
Remind me not to challenge you anymore. LOL
Flea, what up homie? What up fellow TSS-ers? Just got back from the motherland again. I got married this time. Nothing over the top though. That one is gonna be in January, when my family will be able to go down. This one was actually just to be able to get the paperwork and visas started for her to come up. I threw some pics up on MySpace if anyone wants to see. Just click on the my name. Peace y’all.
Southernplayalistic crushes all the others IMO….When that shit dropped i was instantly hooked. Southernplayalistic and Ready to Die hold the record for the longests played disc in the whip for sure..All the others are dope too, but when their first joint dropped fools just went bananas up here in these parts.
Congrats, Big Fonz!
Wishing you well on your marriage!
Aquemi 1
ATLiens 2
Southern….. 2a
Stankonia 2b
I consider Speakerbox/Love Below, if you count it as an Outkast album make it 2a & slide the others down one.
Outkast is VERY consistent.

Not saying Aquemini doesn’t deserve 5 mics, I just think ATLiens is better and got snubbed. I skip “Mamacita” when listening through Aquemini, I could do without that one (except for 3000’s verse).
I cant separate ATLiens and Aquemini so…

Never really got into Southernplayalistic, I’m with Amp, Dre never really stepped into his zone yet, the beats are funky, of course a classic album. But in comparison to just their catalogue and no one elses, ATLiens and Aquemini are just that much better with experience. And don’t get it twisted either, Speakerboxx/Love Below is better too, BUT isn’t a classic album.
Figure that out.

Congratulations Fonz!!! Your wife is beautiful, hope y’all have a successful marriage.
I don’t think “Aquemini” deserved 5 mics, no way in hell. I like OutKast but I always felt like they were a bit overrated after their first three albums. I still believe that “ATLiens” was their best work because it was totally unique when it came out; the beats, the rhymes, the concept plus the album insert was a comic book explaining the whole story behind the album!!! “Aquemini” was cool but no where near “ATLiens” to me.
ATLiens is the dopest Outkast album IMO.
Okay, I’m done.
Get Your Ass Out Of My Kast !

I disagree w/TC. Jesse is right. The Source was notorious for giving “make-up mics” to albums when they missed the call on a previous release. So, Atliens should’ve gotten the higher rating…but Aque… did instead.
Dre never really stepped into his zone yet
==========
Have you listened to “Ain’t No Thang”?
Like Neil said & like I mentioned the other day, that album took the fuck over when it dropped. Period. I can’t speak for the east coast, but he just confirmed the west & I know it was in every car system, Walkman, etc, down bottom.

=======================================
Hell, I would use the entire album as an example…
3 Stacks was still in high school when they recorded the first album! Damn, dude didn’t have any life experience yet, and for high schooler to have that much to say is kind of a BIG DEAL. Trust me, I’m around kids that age everyday my dude.
I’m sure I’m just late… but I hadn’t heard this joint:
RZA as Bobby Digital – U Can’t Stop Me Now (ft. Inspectah Deck)
http://www.zshare.net/audio/12340853a0df3a7d/
off the Digi Snacks album
http://cache.idolator.com/assets/resources/2008/05/digisnaxdirty.jpg
I might have to check for this album, as long as he keeps coming with this flavor.
^ Album drops June 24th from what Amazon says.
@ Dougie Howser: Yeah man, I heard like 5 other tracks from that “Digi-snacks” album and trust me when I say that it’s going to be crazy!!! Keep a look out for that album, it’ll be worth it.

Idlewild didn’t register a vote in my head
Why does no one support Sleepy Brown??
Dude’s music is always bumping and he is always there yet gets none of the recognition.
I remember hearing Sleepy’s Theme play somewhere and always having dude on the radar to watch and whenever he collabs with Outkast its a hit.
he needs another solo joint, perhaps
first i wanna say im just happy i found a great site with great discussion!
my Judgement:
Aquemini is the dopest cd EVER(party tracks,smokin tracks, political tracks, CLASSIC TRACKS!)
i mean have yall listened to spotiotiedopalicious recently??!
they didnt even “spit” on that joint…and i still aint heard a track that fire since.
“My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to ten

look again ’cause I swear I spot one every now & then
It’s happenin’ again wish I could tell you when
Andre this is Andre y’all just gon’ have to make amends”- DRE 3–0-0-0 (aquemini)
I think those who picked Southernplayalistic… & ATLiens are doing it it on the strength of nostalgia & not based on any sort of critical thinking. Aquemeni is an amazing album. To take away from that by saying it only got 5 mics as a make-up for ATLiens is totally disregarding the brilliance of that album. And to compare Dre’s verses on SPCM to His verses on any other album, You’d have to see that both Dre & Big Boi got better on ATLiens but truly mastered their respective flows/personas on Aquemeni. It might not be Your personal fave, but it’s undeniably their finest achievement. Ask the million plus who jumped on the bandwagon with that album.
Totally unrelated (but perhaps not) but damn man, the music industry is hurtin’ baaaaaaad:
http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/429648
@ Amp: My decision ain’t based on nostalgia or some “golden era” shit, I just liked ATLiens better my dude. Aquemini was fantastic; anybody who says otherwise is in denial but for me there is something about ATLiens that just resonated with me when I heard it.
And Gotty, since You consider Southernplayalistic as Your number one pick, and in essence, their best album, why did The Source wait 2 albums later to give those makeup mics?
Funky Ride is a dope song, but it goes a little long & along with the Players Ball reprise, sounds like it belongs on a Society of Soul album instead of a Hip-Hop album. Both SPCM & ATLiens have remixes tacked on to the end, which automatically subtract from both LP’s as a whole..
@ Flea
I liked ATLiens too. It’s probably My favorite OutKast album as a whole. But is it better than Aquemeni? Nope, and I don’t let My personal preferences cloud My judgement on a critical level. Like I said before, ATLiens kinda slows down during the second half & the singles just weren’t as good or accessable as the singles on Aquemeni. Yeah, ‘Kast are spittin on that one, but on Aquemeni they really came into their own in terms of lyrically & musically. That album set the tone for what OutKast is know as today.

And so on…
LMAO @ TC’s EP
very funny sh*t, my dude… down to the “lite” title
my humble list…….
1. Aquemini – Fonka
2. Stankonia- just really had an affinity for this album. Slum Beautiful is still my ish. SO grimy, that one…and the distorted beat was/is on some next level Parliament/Prince/Hip-Hop ish….
3. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik – By a pube under #2 ONLY cuz they were still finding their way as lyricists… ONLY reason….
4. ATLiens – Elevators!!!!!!!!!!!! (WOW)
5a.The Love Below… I have seen the error of my ways from past arguments. This was NOT a hip-hop album in the classic sense…. A classic (genre-????) album nonetheless IMO though
5b. Speakerboxxx – Never really got into this one. Beats? I dunno.
6. Idlewild
In retro any list comprising many of these albums doesn’t come down to a “1, 2″ type of thing, but more like a “1, 1.000001, 1.11198″ kinda thing…
Truly splitting hairs…
^^
In = Any…
don’t know HOW that happened
Congrats Big Fonz!!!
Thanks everybody. Ppreciate it.
And… TSS
definitely a good “(c)rank that”
you could even break this down as best hip hop album and best outright album betwen the 2 (or 3) of them. such is the scope of influences drawn from on aquemini, it shall forever remain my personal favourite. But as a straight hip hop album a major case could be argued in favour of atliens. although tracks like liberation & spottieottie take away from aquemini’s overall hip hopness it is such a superb song they only enhances the album as a whole
@ Amp… me picking Southernplayalisticadillacmusic was because its the one that I listen to the most. No bullshit… I actually enjoy this one more than the rest. Plus the fact that these joints sound the best in my car help out a little too. :)
Amp know about critical thinking…
Personally it was the rawness and newness of SPCM that won me over…Aquemeni is a dope album as well, but I think more people jumped on the bandwagon after the huge success of Rosa Parks..
Ain’t no Thing is that joint..Andre spits straight heat rocks on that joint….”
“3-5-7 to your fo’head, there’ll be mo’ dead

But in my hood hood, they hollerin ghetto
Don’t got no neighbors, they hit the pipe and never let go
But I feel for them like Chaka Khan feel for you
Ain’t shit that we can do but rest in peace, pour a brew

Remember at the party when we served them niggaz dandy
They know not to test us, test me, do me, try me

Now Suzy Screw had a partna named Sasha (Sasha), Thumper (Thumper)
I remember her number like the summer
when her and Suzy yeah they threw a slumber – - party
but you can not call it that cause it was slummer
Well it was more like spend the night
Three in the morning yawnin dancin under street lights
We chillin like a villain and a nigga feelin right
in the middle of the ghetto on the curb, but in spite
all of the bullshit we on our back starin at the stars above
Talkin bout what we gonna be when we grow up
I said what you wanna be, she said, “Alive”
It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes
I coulda died, time went on, I got grown
Rhyme got strong, mind got blown, I came back home
to find Lil Sasha was gone
Her mamma said she with a nigga that be treatin her wrong
I kept on singin my song and hopin at a show
that I would one day see her standin in the front row
But two weeks later she got found in the back of a school
With a needle in her arm, baby two months due, Sasha Thumper….
Goosebumps….Still not convinced?
Baby did you hear that yea baby I heard it too
Look out the window golly the sky is electric blue
Mamma Earth is dyin and cryin because of you
Rainin cats and jackles all shackles disintegrate, to residue
Silly mortals haven’t a clue
as to what the fuck is goin on
I’m on the telephone, dialin the Dungeon
“Hello?” This Dre, bring the MP and the SP
Meet me at the center of the earth and travel carefully
Baby grab the baby cause baby it ain’t much time
Mamma Earth is tossin and turnin and that’s our sign
Omega Nigga IFO’s are landin in Decatur
Hope I’m not over your head but if so you will catch on later
Play the track, guess she could not take it anymo’
Rapin her heavenly body like a hoe, coochie so’
from niggaz constantly fuckin her never lovin her never showin
appreciation bustin nuts in her face when they done
And Big Noi got some fire too…
Cops and robbers niggaz be bound to get them dollars and cents
They get in a slump like baseball players
when they short on they rent
Anything goin you ain’t knowin how much money YOU spent
But in the real world you surrounded by these ladies and gents
who hang around you cause you be buyin all the weed
and ALL the chicken
Feedin everybody, smokin em out
When you was broke though they was missin
Now you ridin bout fo’ deep, startin to tear up YO’ suspension
And your baby mamma on child support
My fault, forget to mention
You don’t even have a checkin account
Wasn’t thinkin about no pension
I used to work at Steak ‘N’ Ale, Old Gold off in the kitchen
Had determination and graduated
Now I got the whole rap world fascinated
I wanted a piece of the pie for me and my family so I made it
Continue to sell dope, it’s payin the bills so you gon’ do it
But legislation got this new policy
Three strikes and you’re ruined.. now where your crew at?
Yeah..

Am I the only one that remember’s the chink in Aquemini’s armor?!?
Mamacita sucked. does now, and always did. It is a constant skip track. everyother song on the joint made up for it ten-fold, but it still existed.
i haven’t seen it mentioned above.
and dezrp, dont compare ATCQ to Outkast please.
what “non classic” ATCQ or Outkast joint is there?
and for the record, a Love Movement was seriously slept on by alot of mothafuckas who didnt even know who Dilla was untill he died.
im out
I’m late on this, as per usual, but ATLiens all day everyday. Maaaan – if it’s night time, I just throw on ‘Babylon’ and zone out to Dre’s verses…
‘I came into this world high as a bird…’ DAMN
I’ve sat down… and actually tried to figure out why Aquemini was regarded as high as it was… and I still come up short. It has it’s moments… with Return of the G, Da Art of Storytellin’ and Ya’ll Scared, but that’s it to me. That was the first LP that I felt OutKast changed their style just so they could get the attention they direly deserved. ATLiens was ahead of it’s time, to TC, the statement that the songs weren’t about anything is a lie, it went with the territory of the title. I could care less if I’m posting like 3 months later.

Anybody who puts Atliens lower then number two, they opinion doesn’t matter .. lol .. seriously thou Atliens to me is the greatest album of any genre of any time period .. thats how strong i feel about that album and Aquemni is a strong .. strong 2 in my heart .. and southernplaylistic is still my first experience with the dugeon fam .. this is by far the greatest group of everness .. there first three albums were 5 mics but they got it for their fourth which was so so for me .. any way I look forward to hearing big boi solo and dre’s solo then another outkast album .. 09 should be great for them and cee lo as well ..
