S3E6 OutKast by Drew Curry - a podcast by Drew Curry

Quite possibly the greatest duo in hip hop, this Atlanta group made up of Andre "3000" Benjamin and Antwan 'Big Boi" Patton has solidified themselves in the history books. OutKast came out with a bang and made sure they spoke up for their city and their uniqueness. One of the early icon moments came from The Source Awards in 1995, with Andre declaring that "the south had something to say." Ever since then the world has been put on notice that the south ain't nothing to play with. OutKast has many iconic moments and more than one classic album, which ones those are, I'll let you decide. Starting with their debut Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik being created with the now legendary Dungeon Family, OutKast showed the world again Hip Hop is not monolithic. You can have the New York heavy boom bap and you can have the Atlanta futuristic music they were sharing with us. Check out this episode and see if you learn a few things about this out of the world group. Thank you to Andre and Antwan, the legacy you've created, and continue to create was/is needed. While we thank you for the amazing poetry and art you've created together, every fan of OutKast and hip hop in general want and need your voices today as much as we always have. If we never get another album I will still forever be indebted to the ground breaking, culture shifting, magic you 'put on wax'. Thank you. And thank you for listening to this episode of hip hop history. Please, like, subscribe and leave a review where possible. Thank you and have a great day.
