It takes me a couple tracks to warm up, as usual, but then I settle in. Enjoy!

This is a classic album but Internet sentiment would have you believe Outkast doesn't start until ATLiens. This album was bumped around the whole country when it dropped and won a Source award, which lead to Andre's infamous "the south got something to say" speech. Puff Daddy even directed the video for Player's Ball because he loved the song so much. Also, as far as classic 80's and 90's groups worth reacting to, you haven't even scratched the surface. De La Soul have multiple classics, The Roots have made some of the best albums in hiphop history, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Gangstarr, Heltah Skeltah, Brand Nubian, Goodie Mob have two incredible albums, Bone Thugs n Harmony, The Pharcyde, 8ball and MJG, Tha Dogg Pound, Mobb Deep's first two albums, The Geto Boys, Black Star, and many more. Those aren't minor groups, they all played a large part in forming hiphop and influenced many of the artists you've already reacted to.

Please when you react to WTT in April make sure it’s the deluxe edition there’s 4 extra songs and all of them are pretty essential

Most of these artists are on my list, but goddamn lol... that's a lot of music! The journey continues 🤘

If you want more southern hip hop, you should check out a T.I. Album. He helped define the trap sound modern guys like Travis Scott and Playboi Carti still use to this day

This is the greatest duo in hip-hop history.

I like that you refocused and tried not to think about ATLiens. It’s tough not to let other people influence your enjoyment of an album, but it’s important to try. Just enjoy it for what it is. Who knows, it might be your favourite Outkast album – it’s some people’s favourite. That’s going to be a challenge for Drake, given that there’s so much negativity around him. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. But it’s gotta be because you don’t like it, not because other people don’t. Don’t get the wrong impression about Outkast. They will continue to have an edge. They’re not going to become soft on later albums. But they will become more experimental. Andre will become a David Bowie like figure, and Big Boi will double down on being a G. The more eccentric Andre becomes the more gangster Big Boi will be, both in style and lyricism. They balance each other out that way. I don’t agree that this album is forgettable or non-essential. It has some of Outkast’s best songs on it like Players Ball and Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. Yes, they do define their sound on ATLiens, but this is a solid project with some undeniable tunes. As much as this album draws from West Coast production, it still has an identity of its own. Russell Simmons, the co-founder of Def Jam, didn’t like the album because he thought it was too different. He didn’t know what to make of it. “At the time, I didn't understand their music—it sounds so different from what I was used to that I foolishly ... claim[ed] that they 'weren't hip-hop.' The same way people didn't understand 'Sucker MCs' a decade earlier, I didn't understand that instead of operating outside of hip-hop, OutKast was actually expanding hip-hop. They were offering one of the most honest expressions, and expression so honest that it went completely over my head at first." – Russell Simmons. Outkast were also booed on stage at the Source Awards for being from the south, but also because they didn’t sound like other groups on the radio. So while they will become more innovative going forward, there was definitely something different about them from the beginning. A lot of people have been talking about the Dungeon Family. The Dungeon was where Outkast and other members of the collective recorded their music. It was a dirty studio in the basement of Rico Wade’s mother’s house. Organized Noize did production for members of the family, most notably Goodie Mob, who released Soul Food in 1995. That’s an album you should add to your list. Killer Mike and Future also came from the Dungeon. As for Southern hip-hop. I’ll just stick to the 90s. But here are some of the most essential albums. The Geto Boys – We Can’t Be Stopped (1991) Scarface – The Diary (1994) Three Six Mafia - Mystic Stylez (1995) 8Ball and MJG – On Top of the World (1995) Goodie Mobb – Soul Food (1995) UGK – Ridin Dirty (1996) Juvenile – 400 Degreez (1998)

I was thinking about leaving a comment, but you covered basically everything that I was thinking and then some. This is my favorite Outkast album. I’ve gone back and forth between each of the first three, and I love all of them, but I ultimately settled on this one.

When I first heard Outkast it was a single off the LaFace Christmas album. Player's Ball is really a Christmas song.

Great comment. Soul Food and The Diary is to me essential albums. Also want to add that some of Scarface' later albums are amazing as well. The Fix is great, and his run with Made, Emeritus and Deeply Rooted are honestly my favorite run of albums in his discography. Scarface is an absolute legend.

Yep. I just wanted to stick to the 90s so I don't recommend 20 albums. And when I recommend an artist I go with their earliest most essential album. Once Bob listens to it then it's a good idea to recommend other albums by the same artist.

I added a couple of these albums to the list, those that I recognize (and therefore have been suggested before). I really wanna try out Three 6 Mafia

Three Six Mafia is an extremely influential especially for modern rap. They became more influential in the 2010s than they were in the 2000s. For whatever reason artists started mining their dark production and fast delivery in the modern era. I think I know which albums don't show up in the comments as much. The first is We Can't Be Stopped by The Geto Boys. The Geto Boys were a three-man group of Bushwick Bill, Scarface, and Willie Dee. This was Scarface's group before he went solo. They have several albums, but this is their best and most popular. The cover is iconic. The other I don't see too often is 400 Degreez by Juvenile. Before Lil Wayne, Juve was the best and most popular member of the Cash Money recording label. The label which spawned Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nikki Minaj. Juve was part of a group called the Hot Boys with Lil Wayne and Turk, kind of like a hood-rap boy band, and he was the older and more experienced one. He's like the big brother of lil Wayne, who even named his own record 500 Degreez. Understanding the legacy of the Hot Boys and Cash Money is essential for understanding Lil Wayne. And this is the best and most popular record they produced in the 90s. Here is a best of Cash Money list and as with all lists 400 Degreez takes the top spot. http://www.definearevolution.com/2017/01/dar-hip-hop-10-most-important-cash.html

If you’re a fan of southern rap then you might wanna move Lil Wayne up on your list. A lyrical monster with fun vocal inflections. I’d start with Tha Carter 2 personally, but his most celebrated work is Tha Carter 3

I'd really like him to start with Carter I. See the development. They are all excellent and all unique. Wayne is an important enough artist that it's worth starting with the first of his main-line albums. Carter I was the perfection of the Mannie Fresh/Hot Boys era sound which is wholly different from Carter II and III. There is no rush and its always best to start earlier imo. I tthik it's fine to skip Block is Hot and 500 Degreez but best to listen to Carter's in order. Too many are sleeping on Carter I.

Lex

I will say I love Carter 1 but I think Wayne really comes into his own with Carter 2 and isn’t dependent on the bling rap sound.

Joshua Brice

I hadn't heard this album before either! Ooh it's good

I agree with that. But even more reason to listen to Carter I to see the transition. Carter I is a different era and excellent in its own right.

Loving your reactions! New to the Patreon man had to finally show the real support. Hoping you consider adding some Action Bronson to the list!
