Outkast!

The Clipse kinda recently stated that they were the best rap duo ever. They're pretty damn good. The first thought is what does it mean to be a rap duo. Do both have to be rappers? So……a group like….Gangstarr wouldn't count? Cause…tell me if I'm wrong, but I kinda think that they're better than the Clipse. Anyway, assuming that both members of a duo need to rap as their main thing in order to be a rap duo, there is one duo that's just a little more dynamic duo material than the Clipse. Big Boi and 3 Stacks for the win. Outkast is by far the greatest duo of all time. Name an Outkast album that was bad. Not an Outkast album that you didn't like, but an Outkast album that was bad. There's a difference. You can personally not like something and still admit that its good.

They've put the time and effort in on each release that bears their name. Every album has been amazing, whether it’s the production or the lyrics. They've constantly been experimenting with everything they do, creating unique sounds and using instruments that others haven't yet. Affiliated with the Dungeon Family and Organized Noise, they're a powerful force in Hip Hop and Rap.

But the last Outkast album was 2006. Idlewild, the first, maybe, stumble in their catalogue was released alongside their movie and it's been a minute. Rumors of a break up have swirled around the group. Big Boi has been working on a solo album that has long seen setbacks and pushbacks, Sir Luscious Lefty the Son of Chico Dusty. All I know is that I don't really watch cartoons all that much anymore (Boomerang, I see you!!) so I don't really see anything of that Class of 3000 tv show. Regardless though, I want a God damn new Outkast album!

Remember Hey Ya? Roses? Ghetto Musick? B.O.B.? Way you move? Ms. Jackson? Jazzy Belle? Elevators?

Is it too much to ask for another album of phenomenal music? Really?

All I got nowadays from the ATL unless I'm looking at T.I. and Luda is people like Gucci Mane...Yung LA…Soulja Boy…and…I might just cry. Gucci is getting nice, but he's nowhere near the league of Luda or T.I. Come on now.

Outkast, please help save Hip Hop. For the love of everything sacred and holy.


(Oh and it'll help Big Boi pay the taxes he owes to the state of Georgia. There's always that)
