Outkast's music is known for its experimentation and innovation, and their albums are marked by a wide range of musical styles and influences.

Best Hip Hop Duo of all time come on.their would be NO Atlanta rap scene today without these dudes and Goodie Mob. They put in missy elliot before these dudes..... they got to be in it this year. "Atliens and Aquemini" ARE TIMELESS CLASSICS. Who can touch Andre 3000 on the mic? He is all time top 5 by himself. Then add in Big Boi's unduplicated flow and underated slick rhymes..... COME ON!
