Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik by Outkast

Pros: Big debut with an original sound
Cons: Little variety

"Southernplayalisticadillacmuz ik" was the debut single from OutKast. This was one of the first Hip Hop albums of its kind, because it was from an Atlanta duo. At the time, in the early ninties, Southern hip Hop was considered very alternate, although ...

Pros: Slick production, Dre's and Big Boi's chemistry, good guest appearances
Cons: Some production misses, too many interludes

Outkast will go down as one of the best groups in hip-hop history. They made a name for themselves and established the South as legit with their 1996 classic, ATLiens (despite the best efforts of other groups like the Geto Boys and UGK) and ...

Pros: A handful of excellent, funk-ay jams.
Cons: Dated production, Andre and Big Boi still had some growin' to do as artists.

props to balogun's G.O.A.T. rap group writeup for makin' me give this album another listen. You know when an artist breaks through to the mainstream, and some of their older fans go "well that's cool, but check THIS out man!" Sure, sometimes ...

Pros: Great Debut, Great Funky Production, Different, Awesome Lyrics.
Cons: Weaker Moments, Interludes

OutKast is a group that just takes the concept of originality and defines it through sound. Throughout their career they have put out mind blowing singles complete with mind boggling lyrics and are backed by some awesome Organized Noize production. The ...

Pros: Harmonizing, relaxing production. Unique, creative and varied lyricism, something different and new!
Cons: Not as good as ATLiens, Too many skits

I am the first one to admit I'm not the biggest fan of Southern hip hop. Generally (so not ALWAYS) but generally I find the production to ecliptic for me, almost TOO laid back and dull. And as for the lyricism, I never find it delves in to deeper subject ...

Pros: This album put Outkast, and southern hip-hop on the map
Cons: NONE

FINALLY!!! That was how I felt as a high-school freshman in '93 when I saw Outkast's video for the single 'Player's Ball' on BET's Rap City. Being a native of Georgia, I always loved rap music and hated the fact that there weren't any...

Pros: its OutKast, consistent beats, great album
Cons: it ends

In 1994 an album was released that was 6 years ahead of its time. It had fresh - tech sounds, new beats and new rhymes. This album was Atlanta based rap duo OutkAsts first LP release entitled "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik." In my opinion...

Pros: Originality, Style, Content
Cons: None present

My first experience with OutKast came in 1994 when I heard the "Player's Ball" single. I had been listening to rap for quite some time, but when I first heard this song, I was quite literally blown away. It was unlike any other rap music of...

Pros: not much swearing or talking about drugs or gang bangin
Cons: there are none

this album is by far outkasts best album the beats on the album are all crazy and they just sound good straight up outkast cds are tight cds if you like the dirty south even if you dont like southern rap you will definately love...

Pros: great flow, great beats, classic jams
Cons: none

Outkast's debut album, released in 1994, was one of the best rap albums to be released in the 90's. To this day, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik remains a critical must-own in a rap/hip hop fan's collection. This album features classic rap anthems like...

Pros: everything
Cons: overcook meatloaf -- errr.. nothing else.

OutKast, with their first solid breakthrough the East Coast/West Coast hiphop scene, blast through with a solid album. None of the 'Jam'n' hullabaloo that you hear on the radio, their music makes you want to get down and get your groove on.
They...

Pros: If youz a playa, you'll love this record
Cons: If you don't like ATL, you might not like this.

In my opinion, OutKast is the best rap group currently in hip-hop. Now that Tribe has broken up, Dre and Big Boi can throw down the flows better than any duo in the arena. In fact, I would argue that OutKast is the number one duo since maybe Eric B....
