#NOLAZINE - When discussing the greatest hip-hop groups to ever come out of the South, OutKast has to be part of the conversation. Atlanta natives André 3000 and Big Boi helped change the direction of Southern hip-hop, proving that artists from the South could compete with the biggest names in the music industry.
After making their debut in 1994 with Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, the legendary duo continued raising the bar with classic albums like ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia, and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Their unique combination of storytelling, lyricism, creativity, and Southern culture helped influence an entire generation of artists.
At a time when New York and Los Angeles dominated much of the national hip-hop conversation, OutKast helped put Atlanta on the map. Their success opened doors for countless Southern rappers and helped establish the South as a major force in the music industry.
With multiple platinum albums, Grammy Awards, and timeless records like “Elevators (Me & You),” “Rosa Parks,” “Ms. Jackson,” and “Hey Ya!,” OutKast built a legacy that continues to influence hip-hop today.
