Atlanta, Georgia (1991 – present)

OutKast is an American hip hop duo based out of Atlanta, Georgia formed in 1991. Their original musical style was a mixture of Dirty South and G-Funk; since then, funk, soul, electronica, and rock elements have been added to the mix. The duo is André “Andre 3000” Benjamin (formerly known as “Dre”) and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton, both from the Atlanta area. They are also a part of the Atlanta based music collective called the Dungeon Family (Organized Noize, Goodie Mob, Cool Breeze, Witchdoctor, Joi, Slimm Calhoun, and more).

OutKast is currently one of the most successful hip hop groups of all time, having sold 20 million copies of their six releases: four studio albums, a greatest hits release, and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, a double album containing a solo album from each member of the duo. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is one of only three hip hop albums to go diamond, the other two being MC Hammer’s Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em and Notorious B.I.G.’s Life After Death. Speakerboxx/The Love Below also netted OutKast with 3 Grammy’s in 2004. The Grammy’s won include “Best Urban/Alternative Performance” from “

Hey Ya”, Best rap Album, and Album of the Year.

OutKast recently released Idlewild simultaneously with the musical movie of the same title in which they both star. Andre has acted in a few previous movies as well. They are working on a new CD with the working title of The Hard 10.

SSMetaL, you really can't talk about a band being gay when you listen to Trivium and tons of nu-metal.

Synthesizer was more of an "Stankonia" sound, before the actual album. Aquemini didn't have a theme or certain style because it was a mixture.

Best duo in hip hop history, I'm still unsure which i like more, Aquemini or ATLiens, both are classic.

i think Aquemini is kind of a mix between their first two albums.... compare "West Savannah" & "Synthesizer" for example. i think a lotta people dig that mixture

Someone explain to me why Aquemini is regarded as their best work, because I don' t see it, and never will. To take something some one brilliantly wrote, it's more like ATLiens, Part II. ATLiens > Southernplayalistic > Stankonia > Aquemini > Speakerboxxx/TLB > Idlewild

Ms Jackson is fucking good but it is NOT their best at all. And I laughed at the guy saying "gays". You're seriously 32? Wow, i thought you would have grown out of calling people "gay" like it's an insult and throwing the horns up like a 15 year old dipshit by now. Nice myspace pose by the way, all you need now is a camera with a flash and a mirror.
