East Point, Georgia

OutKast is an American hip-hop duo from Georgia. The duo is one of the most successful hip-hop groups of all time, having received six Grammy Awards. Over 25 million copies have been sold of Outkast’s eight releases: six studio albums, a greatest hits release, and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, a double album containing a solo album from each member. Hey Ya! and The Way You Move were two of the biggest selling songs of 2003.

The group’s original musical style was a mixture of Dirty South and G-Funk. Since then funk, soul, pop, electronic music, rock, spoken word poetry, jazz, and blues have been added to the group’s musical palette. The duo consists of Atlanta native André “Andre 3000” Benjamin (formerly known as Dré) and Georgia-born Antwan “Big Boi” Patton.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is one of only four hip-hop albums to be certified Diamond in the U.S. for shipping over 10 million units. Along with Outkast’s commercial success, they have maintained an experimental approach in their music and are widely praised for their originality and artistic content.

Benjamin and Patton met while attending Tri-Cities High School, a Visual and Performing Arts School. Benjamin’s parents were divorced and he was living with his father. Meanwhile, Patton had to move with his four brothers and six sisters from Savannah to Atlanta.

Whoahh, Ms.Jackson and Hey Ya! get over 10,000 listeners while everything below Rosa Parks gets less than 1,000, even other stuff from stankonia. Weird.

i think they're both amazing...and there's certainly no point in arguing, but it's an interesting topic to me, cuz i actually think andre's the one that's overlooked. everybody focuses on how flamboyant he is, and they get all rapped up in how he's trying to go pop and change his style and sound like prince or whatever...i'm not talkin' bout any of that....nor do i really care....i mean when it comes to strictly rappin, most people i've heard talk about big boi, who's great, and consistent, indisputably, but dre's the guy that says stuff that you might not catch until the umpteenth listen, and his sense of phrasing and assonance is on a level that i'm not sure i've heard from anyone. all that aside, i'd rather hear them together than separately almost any day.
