    Outkast ATLiens Released 25 Years Ago Today

    Outkast is regarded as one of the best hip hop duos to ever touch the mic. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik was their debut back in 1994 and it was a classic. The album introduced the Goodie Mob and their first album, Soul Food was also a classic. The hip hop community was waiting to hear some new music from Outkast. Early in the summer of 1996, they released the first single, Elevators for their upcoming album. The album was called ATLiens and it was released 25 years ago today. ATLiens went on to go double platinum and has been called one of the greatest hip hop joints ever. Elevators was the first single…

    Outkast Ms. Jackson for Throwback Thursday

    Welcome to another Thursday, as that mean we are closer to another weekend. First off, I’m hoping all the dads out there had an amazing Father’s Day. My playlist this week was highlighted by a couple of new albums and four mixtapes. The week started off with the new joints from Polo G and Gucci Mane. As far as the mixtapes, we had a nice blend one, a couple of slow jams and Street Wars 13.5. Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt, Keith Sweat and the Groove Theory project was also played. The final album was from Outkast and their Stankonia joint. Stankonia was the follow-up to the classic Aquemini album as it…

    Outkast Elevators for Throwback Thursday

    Welcome to another Thursday as that mean we are closer to the weekend. My playlist this week started off with the Exodus album from the late, great DMX. Trill by Bun B, Eminem’s Marshall Mathers LP 2 and Premro 2 by 8Ball was also played. Kizzy Rock, the joint from Talib Kweli & HiTek and Ice Cube’s Peace album made the list also. Any of those albums would be worthy of being featured, but I’ll go in a different direction. The History of the Dungeon Family mixtape was also played and it had some bangers. If you didn’t know, the Dungeon Family included Organized Noise, Outkast, Society of Soul and…

    Outkast is known as one of the greatest hip hop duos to ever pick up a mic. Big Boi and Andre 3000 haven’t put an album out as Outkast in about 15 years. Till this day, they are still recognized as a pair of the best to ever do it in hip hop. 20 years ago, Outkast released their fourth album, Stankonia.

    Listen to My Top 5 Albums from Outkast

    Last week for my Music Monday, we highlighted the top 5 albums from Rick Ross. This week we’re celebrating the legendary Outkast and their top 5 albums. Outkast haven’t put out an album since Idlewild, which was the movie they put out. The Speakerboxxx/Love Below album was the last official one that came out over 15 years ago. Big Boi have continued to put out solo projects and Andre 3000 been focusing on acting. From time to time, 3 Stacks have appeared on a few tracks throughout the years. Despite not putting out music over the years, people still talk about Outkast and they’re one of the best duos ever.…

    Outkast Dropped Aquemini 20 Years Ago Today

    20 years ago today was a momentous day if you’re a fan of hip hop. Jay-Z dropped his Hard Knock Life Volume 2 album and Outkast put out their classic, Aquemini. We saw the evolution of Outkast from Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik to ATLiens and now the Aquemini joint. Either way, despite being three different projects they all are considered classics. With Aquemini, many people are calling this their best album and one of the best ever in hip hop. A week after the release of the album, they release Rosa Parks as their first single. This was an incredibly dope, up-tempo track that was very successful. Later on, they were sued by…

    Outkast Dropped Their Debut Album 22 Years Ago Today

    One of my all-time favorite groups and Atlanta’s own, Outkast dropped their debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik twenty-two years ago today. Before the album dropped, I remember having the gold & purple CD that was their debut single, Player’s Ball when they were passing them out. When people talk about Outkast, I don’t think many realize how impactful their sound was when they dropped because Atlanta was known for the club or booty-shaking music with the likes of Kilo, Raheem the Dream, DJ Kizzy Rock and many others. Outkast ushered in the player lifestyle, while bringing some dope lyrics in the process while introducing other acts in the process. On one of…
