Outkast insulted their fans by giving us eack shit this year after dropping 10 years of heat. So the fans gave em the finger by not buying their shit OR watching their wack ass movie.Don't flip the script on the people who made you what you are.That's real.No its not real. Thats bullshit. We need more artists taking chances and doing different shit in rap music. If there was, most rap probably wouldnt be bullshit today. And what you mean they turned their back on the people who made em what they are? Their biggest selling record had the most outlandish material on it of all their albums.

Speakerboxxx/Love Below was a great album IMO, one of the best double albums ever. Yes, their music was outlandish on some of those tracks, but that's Outkast. They got an outlandish style of music. Even on SB/LB, they still had some quality to their tracks and you can tell they put their hearts into it. Idlewild didn't have that. It was obviously rushed, and their fanbase couldn't relate to it.
I never said just being different makes music good, I said if people took more chances like Outkast does, the music would definitely be better because everybody wouldnt just be copying each other. Originality might not be everything, but its definitely important. Just because juronimo from dubcc.com doesnt like something, doesnt make it bad music either.
Also remember that Outkast only sold Diamond because it was a double-album; it sold 5 million copies, not 10 million.
Homie, Outkast was ALREADY "different", Since the beginning of their career, they've been the most unique hip-hop group in the mainstream. And before "Speakerboxx/The Love Below" came out, every record they put out was dope, too.Bottom line...it was bad fucking music, not cause it was unique, because it was un-fucking-listenable. I've heard some of the most unique shit ever that still sucked cause the artist performed it terribly, and I've heard stuff that was highly unoriginal but it still sounded dope.
I aint even heard Idlewild. The man said they are alienating their fan base by making music thats different than what was expected. All I'm saying is thats what makes Outkast, and we need more artists willing to take chances and experiment. Everytime somebody tries something different, it wont always work, big deal. They'll be back next go round.
I aint even heard Idlewild.
