Outkast – Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (1994)
(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd100/d134/d13436bg0wb.jpg)
Sign Of The Times: While the West Coast was catching a contact from The Chronic and the East was being introduced to the Wu-chambers, something magical swept up from the South. They called themselves Outkast, two boys rocking flip flops with socks, riding on Vogues and slamming Caddilac doors.
Impact: While the group embraced their roots on wax, Outkast’s music greatly differed from the songs synonymous with the South. They didn’t come with the booty shake like Luke or gangsta tales like the Geto Boys; they captured listeners with poignant lyrics and an unorthodox flow, showing that niggas down South can rap. The album’s sample-free production-unconventional at the time- implanted the Organized Noize sound in the ears of the masses. The music was as dirty and country as the desolate Georgia back roads. Outkast’s brand of southern fried funk smothered in Dre’s and Big Boi’s thick drawls was refreshing.
The Payoff: Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik gave a voice to the southern-player culture that was “fat like a herringbone and tight like a nap booty.” The album proved that hip hop also lived outside of NYC and Compton. To the music industry, the album’s platinum success opened a gateway to the South.

BTW, I'm not writing all these "reviews". Some I'll write, some I'll copy and paste points I agree with from difference sources and others like this one from Blaze's "The 10 Defining CD's Of The '90s" I'll just straight copy.

props homie
i dunno how is this album better than 2001
nuthin against outkast they should have atleast 1 of their albums in th top 10 but they aint touchin neither chronic or dre 2001

that's exactly what i was thinking ???
-
2001 is top 5 all time. If you can find 49 albums better, that is a joke
-
its one persons opinion, he gave his reasons for 2001 not being top. this is interesting to read, props man

D12 World will be in the top 10.

I'm enjoying this run-down already - props C2Knuckles.
This is another great album. I was thinking about it on the way to work this morning actually - listening to the track Andre does with Gwen Stefani on her album, it's amazing to see how he's developed as an artist.
-
first off, i would like to give C2Knuckles props for this idea and doing this shit
2nd, i would like to express my deepest condolences to his poor list, who is too young to die, in advance, as its continuation is prolly getting stifled by a bunch of people arguing over at least 46 of the 49 albums following the first not being better than 2001 (and trying to digest the vilification of BTNH)
3rd, Aquemini and ATLiens > The Chronic IMO, just to give C2K a lil bit of backup
4th, nicely written, props again
peace

as long as F U:Dont take it personal finds its way in there, there wont be a problem
-

-

-

::)
You probably haven't even heard 50 hip-hop albums.
-
ATLiens better than Chronic?
do you own/know any Parliament records? Hiphop is always eclecticism, but the Chronic tops a lot and ATLiens is very original for a hiphop album...plus it just sounds fuckin great
-
ATLiens better than Chronic?
It's kinda hard to compare the 2. They're from different times and got different style. Personally, I bump ATLiens more than The Chronic now.
-
so far both the albums listed are in my top 20...
i wonder what albums im goin to have "beef" with on this list...
-
I think ATLiens taks a MASSIVE sh!t over chronic 2001.
-
Wtf Chronic should be in top 3 if not number one. They probably rank Lil bow wows album better than the chronic, this is a gay list.
-
Souternplayalistic >>>>> ALL Outkast albums.

::)
Well The Chronic isn't on the list yet so don't be stupid.
-
outkast is hardly bow wow. he has picked two albums so far, both are classics. the order in which they fall is a matter of individual preference.
-
nice review... i prefer 2001 be4 this album though, but hey everone got his own taste 8)

exactly
This list is going to be great 8). Im pretty sure im going to have to download a few albums after this list lol
-
maybe mr knuckles will add a download feature to his list
-
Personally, Im getting kinda tired of chronic 2001 ...so I think it's reasonable to put ATLiens in front of it...and ATLiens is a hellllla good cd too
-

are u seroius? 2001 is fucking OVERRATED...its good...but not great...especially when 2nd half of the album aint even that good.

^^^^No offense, but it seems like you have a very strong west coast bias.
-
yes i do and i will be the first to admit it. well it has to do with the bay area most of all i actually have most of fav rappers ever from la but it bugs me how the bay gets overshadowed by la.
