I agree with you on this one, you cannot even compare southernplayalisticadillacmuzik to sb / lb at all, the kast went hip pop just like jay-z.

i'll stick to the underground.

Relax Hulk. It's hard to take you seriously when you type your comments like an upset teenager. I think Jeff used “” to show the transition from Outkast to Kast, not to start a flame war with you.

Nice articles.

My point is:
WE WANT AN ALBUM WHERE THEY'RE RAPPING, IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?
YOU KNOW, THE REASON MOST OF US STARTED LISTENING TO THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Did I say only hipsters bought the album?
I dont think I did, because most people I know who were avid Outkast fans also bought the album, just off the strength of it being an Outkast release, most of them as well were dissapointed. Hipsters do like modern day outkast though, thats obvious.
I listen to new hip hop as well, so I really dont see what you're getting at with that sentence. And I was far from the first person to know of Outkast, I'll admit that, I didnt even know of them when they released SouthernPlayalisticadilacmuzik, I was only a small kid. Their first album was a great southern album, then they reached new heights with ATLiens, arguably the greatest album of all time. I expected better from the same guys that made ATLiens.

I can accept change, hip hop has obviously changed alot since I have began listening to it.
But not all change is good, especially the commercialization of the genre, it's just become another form of pop music, its become gimmicky and full of people just looking for the next fad.
That is NOT the change that I support.

Although I think you misunderstood my original point, your comment is much appreciated.

This is a dumb comment. It went platinum 11 times and was the biggest selling HH album ever. Seems like more than a few hipsters liked it.

Nobody's trying to prove classic HH had credibility. Except you. The old AND new stuff can be good. There's no monopoly on good music. You sound like one of those "I saw them first, so Im a bigger fan" homers.

And pma didn't pick speakerboxxx... the fans did.

I'm pretty sure he was just trying to say it was a great idea from a marketing perspective. and as far as Outkast destroying hip hop, you have to accept that things change, they were being innovative. I doubt they were trying to kill hip hop as you say, they were trying to stretch the boundaries and maybe they pushed past some people's boundaries. We live in a market that tends to reward new and unique material. So just because hip hop isn't the same as it was 10-20 years ago its a far stretch to say that its dead, its just CHANGED. You would probably be hard pressed to find one genre that hasn't changed over the past 2 decades.
