Their early work
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and
ATLiens are mediocre if passable albums that heavily bite on other artists of the time. Essentially they are EPMD with awful pop-style chorus hooks, and an attempt at wry-lyricism in the vein of Digital Underground without nearly enough wit.
1998's
Aquemini comes the closest to being an acceptable album, but still relies heavily on Outkast's "rap, with a lame twist" style.
Stankonia might possibly be the worst "rap" album of 2000-2005. It's friggin' terrible.
Speakerboxxx would be utterly forgettable if not for the absolutely terrible crossover ear-worm "Hey Ya!" which turned Outkast from an annoying group that occasionally got play on rap radio or Yo! MTV to basically the Nickelback of rap.
I wish we had a vomit emote.
