Outkast: I've yet to hear a single outkast song. Where should I start?

[StageLeft]

I'd request no more than 3 recommendations. I honestly cannot say I've heard an outkast song in my life, and I listen to the radio all the time (no, not country!). TIA

 

hey ya

their new album is ok, but they broke up so each guy did his own cd and its a 2 cd album. i dont find it that good.

So Fresh So Clean
Synthesizer
Red Velvet
Humble Mumble
Gangsta Shit
SpottieOttieDopalicious
Liberation

Those are from Stankonia and Aquemini. I havent listened to the ATLiens album, and their new album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below are ok, but not as good as the others imo. But really good stuff, probably my favorite rap artist.

[anxi80]

[waylman]

Definately! That is my favorite album they've put out. Aquemini was alright, and their new 2 disc set almost feels as if they've broken away from their "style." They just do better together than attempting "solo" albums.

 

[GhettoFob]

atliens!

 

[wicktron]

ATLiens = best Outkast album.

My personal 3 favorites:

Chonkyfire
Da Art of Storytellin Part 1 (Single version with Slick Rick not the album version)
Wheelz of Steel
