Just like your yearbook some good some bad
Outkast reached the top with their 2cd issue anything else lives in its shadow only 2 songs popped for me Ms Jackson & . World, maybe its an ATL thing, track 1 is grating after 2x. .


I love Outkast
Good greatest hits album but coulve been better the first track was hella retarded though which was the intro but aside from that pretty good.


luv n Outkast
I've been into Outkast since Atliens, this is a mixture of old & new stuff.


Your best bet


If you're lukewarm, more casual or just getting into 'Kast, this really is the LP you should start with because you truly get a "Greatest Hits Pre-2003" sampling of this group's many styles and flavors. If you're a hardcore OutKast fan, you already own this LP as well as all the others (or at least your personal favs since none of their offerings are exactly the same).

Do you like party music to jam to? It's here.

Do you prefer something funky & out of the ordinary? It's here.

Do you like above average lyrics and something that makes you think? There are songs on this CD that will fulfill that need as well.

Probably what makes OutKast so beloved, so respected and so watched is the fact they always find ways to be unique, innovative and more creative than what's out there in the world of music when they drop.

I honestly believe since they've been out for so long ('92, '93) and changed so much, every OutKast fan has a favorite OutKast sound or era.

The good news is that "Big Boi and Dre Present . . . " has something for everybody!

'Kast's earlier work is a happy medium between funky but G'ed Up hip hop that's straight from the Gangsta Rap scene that dominated the better part of the '90s.

Songs like "Git Up, Git Out (and Get Something)," "Player's Ball," and "Ain't No Thang" kind of exemplify a time gone by. Big Boi 2 this day laughs about that material and where his head was -- yet this isn't a dis, but more of an artistic reflection. All of these tracks remain relevant and classic!

If Funk is more your thing, listen to "Crumblin' Erb," "Spottieottiedopaliscious" and to "Southernplayalisticadilacmuzik". These are tracks ladies I know always feel.

OutKast crossed over in a big way and while considered highly commercial by many standards, signature 'Kast songs like "Ms. Jackson," "Bombs Over Baghdad" (which is NOT a war song, btw), "So Fresh, So Clean" and "The Whole World" are hits that rightfully made this LP.

Perhaps 'Kast's most creative, innovative and thought-provoking jams like the highly political "Rosa Parks" and "Aquemini" are also among favorites on this LP. This group has always had messages in the overwhelming majority of their songs (even the party ones) and these tracks are indicative of their intelligence and talent.

The only knock against this CD is the fact that perhaps the greatest OutKast song of all-time, a track from the 1998 LP Aquemini called "Liberation" didn't make the final product.

That's a song all of you need to hear.

At any rate, OutKast is easily among the greatest of all hip hop duos -- if not the greatest -- on the level of Eric B & Rakim, EPMD, Redman & Method Man (aka da Blunt Brothers) and UGK.

Highly recommended purchase for any music fan of distinguished taste, male or female, gay or straight, young or old, black, white, brown, red or yellow.


Hey man, this is cool
Jackson and it was $7 so I picked it up. I'm not a rap person so I didn't know this was a Outkast greatest hits, I saw it had Ms. I have since picked up speakerboxx/the love below and loved that even more. outkast isn't your typical rap, which mostly is bland and uncreative, this stuff crosses genres and races. this hard rocker likes these cats very much .
