Top 20 Outkast Songs
I'll admit it. This past year, I smoked more weed and listened to more 90s hip hop than most people do in a decade. Yet whenever I was "coming down" from listening to a mediocre album or found one that was good but could've been better, I'd end up listening to outkast. Something about their style is just mad solid to me. So feeling bored and self-important, I made this list. A billion honorable mentions but I narrowed the list to my fav 50 songs and picked the top 20. |
1 | | OutKast ATLiens
Babylon
3 of my favorite Outkast verses over a groovy, emotional soundscape. raps about the end of the world, relationships, sex and grief |
2 | | OutKast Aquemini
Aquemeni
The go-to outkast song for hip hop heads. starts off strong, each verse builds up on the last one. yet all four verses are equally good. tough to admit but it's true |
3 | | OutKast Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
Hootie Hoo
Kast's funnest song and their best song to hear live. freakin jammin. 3000 is cold as ice |
4 | | OutKast Aquemini
SpottieOttieDopaliscious
Their successful attempt at something funky and spoken-wordy |
5 | | OutKast ATLiens
Wailin'
Easily Outkast's most underrated song. 2 minutes long and snuck in right after Babylon. if you don't pay attention, you'll miss out on some sick flows |
6 | | OutKast Aquemini
Return of the G
Their coolest and most badass song. Andre kind of goes ham while big boi holds it down |
7 | | OutKast ATLiens
Millennium
Big Boi's best verse |
8 | | OutKast Stankonia
Red Velvet
Also underrated and very well-structured. andre sings/raps in 3 different styles. maybe 4? |
9 | | OutKast Aquemini
Da Art of Storytellin' Pt. 2
Favorite outkast beat + apocalyptic storytelling |
10 | | OutKast Aquemini
Chonkyfire
Aquemeni's preview of Stankonia. fun stuff |
11 | | OutKast Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
Southernplayalisticcadillacmuzik
first time I heard this song I couldn't believe how good the beat was. feeling still didn't go away. raps are up there too |
12 | | OutKast ATLiens
Jazzy Belle
Andre and Big Boi go back and forth talking about what's right and wrong with women in '96 |
13 | | OutKast Stankonia
Spaghetti Junction
I like this song because it's stankonia era outkast doing some atliens shit |
14 | | OutKast ATLiens
Wheelz of Steel
This song is great sober and 10 times better high. still haven't figured out why |
15 | | OutKast Stankonia
B.O.B.
explosive and fast verses and an epic guitar solo |
16 | | OutKast Aquemini
Y'all Scared
Incredible cypher with goodie mob. also an underrated beat |
17 | | OutKast Aquemini
Rosa Parks
If someone likes radio hits AND 90s rap, I usually recommend this |
18 | | OutKast ATLiens
E.T.
usually don't like songs without beats, but I'll make an exception every once in a while |
19 | | OutKast Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
Git up, Git out
Outkast's first popular Goodie Mob cypher. ceelo steals the show, but by the time Andre's verse concludes, you'll realize that this is still an Outkast song |
20 | | OutKast Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Roses
funny how we're already at 20. funny and cool song. kind of like a sequel to Miss Jackson if Miss Jackson's daughter was a hoe |
