I know it shouldn’t count haha
I think A Love Below and Shades of Blue are probably the two most influential albums of my life in terms of encouraging me to expand my music tastes, so those two albums have a special place in my heart.
But for actual Outkast albums I’d probably rank them ATLiens=Stankonia > Aquemini > southernplaya > idlewild

For me it’s Stankonia, ATLiens, Aquemini.
NO WAIT! It’s actually ATLiens, Stankonia, Aquemini. Yeah... that’s it.
But ya know... the more I think about it, I think I may prefer Aquemini over the others.
Fuck it. They’re all masterpieces and I’m not able to pick an order.

I’m not sure what you can really categorize it as. It has nearly every genre involved at one point or another. I haven’t really ever heard anything like it before and haven’t heard anything like it again afterwards.

Is Stankonia your favourite OutKast album?

I wouldn't say it is no, but like many others on here I don't know that I can name a favorite, it changes. Aquemini is definitely up there.

Mmmmm I thought so! It kinda changes for me as well, but it’s always ATLiens and Stankonia changing for me! When I play the vinyl and So Fresh So Clean comes on, it’s just such a vibe - such an effortlessly smooth and cool song that sounds dreamy and galactic! And the. Ms. Jackson plays afterwards and I’m like “Yep, this is OutKast’s best album”! But with ATLiens, when “Wheelz of Steel” plays, especially at nighttime, my mind just disappears and it’s like I’m stargazing and I’m like “This is too good!”
But...SpottieOttieDopaliscious and the chorus of Skew It On The Bar-B is everything to me!
But you know what’s also everything...dropping the needle on Side B of Stankonia and “Spaghetti Junction” plays! Like, those dreamy, lounging, nocturnal guitars and just the nocturnal ATLiens vibe of that song! So good! And before you know it, you get the frantic, frenetic, explosive gospel-Rock epic B.O.B. on that same side!
It’s hard to choose which album I truly prefer out of Stankonia
ATLiens

OutKast, Kanye West and The Roots all have such strong fanbases and it’s always very split in terms of which album people consider their favourite. Like there’s no clear ‘top album’ when it comes to ranking their discography!
As much as I love The Roots, “Things Fall Apart” is without question my favourite The Roots album! Things Fall Apart is definitely the best The Roots album in my opinion, even though Phrenology, Do You Want More!?!?, Illadelph Halflife and Game Theory are all incredible!
As much as I love Kanye West as well, The College Dropout is definitely my favourite, with Late Registration creeping close!
However, with OutKast, Stankonia and ATLiens are tied! Like I can’t decide and even Aquemini is very close, especially as it’s such an ambitious, innovative album!

If you like experimental inspired hip-hop, you will absolutely love Stankonia Dukey! You will fall in love with the album! I’m hoping VMP are still have Stankonia in the works for an Essentials ROTM! I’m keen to get the definitive pressing of Stankonia, even though the MOV pressing is pretty great!

You’ve got a super nice turntable! You definitely can tell that you care as well about looks when it comes to turntables because it’s honestly stunning! I love the black clamp and black tonearm with that timber as well! It’s all very classy and timeless!
