Stankonia
“What could’ve been a victory lap for two Southern rappers on top of the game was instead a transcendental funk fantasia, an unequivocal commercial and artistic triumph.”
Idlewild
“The world’s biggest pop group makes an album about breaking up. It becomes a staggeringly popular crossover hit, winning them so many new fans they have no choice but to forget the solo careers and carry on together. So they come out with a new record where they barely appear on each other’s tracks, recorded […]”

“The 12-lane Connector plows through Atlanta like the Nile of pavement. Along its fenced banks lie the majority of the…”
Stankonia
“Ball if you want to, but do it with some class, G, scolds Big Boi of OutKast. On their fourth album, Stankonia, Big Boi and Andre 3000 prove that they may well be, as they claim, the coolest motherfunkers on the planet. Or, more specifically, as Big says, "Cooler than Freddie Jackson sipping on a […]”
Aquemini
“Confederate loyalists probably had something different in mind when they said, "The South shall rise again." But their prophecy seems to have been fulfilled in the form of Master P, Goodie Mob and OutKast, three Southern rap acts whose appeal extends well beyond their region. Representing Atlanta to the fullest, OutKast prove that you don’t […]”
ATLiens
“The title of OutKast’s second album suggests that the Atlantabased rap duo is spaced out on a P-Funk-style otherworldly trip. But ATLiens, like its platinum predecessor, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, is a gritty document of what’s happening here and now, an up-to-the-minute briefing on Southern black ghetto life on which OutKast members Andre and Big Boi cast their […]”
Aquemini
“Atlanta at its best. Andre and Big Boi will go down as one of the best duos. Their charisma and lyrical ability put them on top for me. One of the main themes I took out of this album is growing up in the hood without glamorizing it. Stories of drug addiction, artificial reality (way ahead of its time), and having to be the drug dealer on the block to provide for your family/friends. The beats are so detailed. Some relaxed others are bangers. If you want to hear a song with mind-blowing versatility listen to Rosa Parks please. Andre’s delivery is so complex while sounding smooth. His self-aware lyrics make him one of the greatest rappers ever. Some of the cuts on that back end of the album are not excellent. But don’t let that keep you from listening to this. There are moments with fun bangers, others have more psychedelic songs. It’s a mixed bag of genius.”
Stankonia
“Bob is so much better than every song on this thing that it’s fooled people into thinking the album was worth listening to”
