Consisting of the Atlanta-based duo of
Andre "Dre" Benjamin and Antwan "Big Boi" Patton, Outkast
coined a distinctive style of southern hip-hop, with its emphasis on soul
melodies and pop arrangements, on
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (1994), with Player's Ball,
ATLiens (1996), containing Elevators,
and especially Aquemini (1998), their masterpiece and one of the
most innovative rap albums ever.
Stankonia (2000) marked a funkadelic detour with the hit singles
B.O.B. and Ms Jackson.
Present (2002) is a (terrible) compilation.
Andre Benjamin, now renamed Andre 3000, released a pop-funk-soul-jazz Prince-style romantic concept,
The Love Below (2003), that became
Big Boi's counterpart, Speakerboxxx (2003), is more of a continuation
of the Outkast project.
Idlewild (2006) was an ambitious, sprawling, 80-minute disc that
covered an impressive stylistic spectrum but at the expense of craftmanship.
