OUTKAST - ATLIENS / 1996 / LAFACE / SOUTHERN HIP HOP, CONSCIOUS HIP HOP
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? 
Видеоклипы
He still has yet to review kidz bop 1??? And he calls this classics week??
justin a im dead
That's cuz he's gearing up for Kidz Bop 2 & 3. Clearly superior albums that were more influential to the kids-covering-songs-shitasticly genre
RedLightning17 your drunk if you think any kidz bop tops their debut album. The heavy trap influence put them out in their own lane inspiring the likes of bones, suicide boys, and Mariah Carey. Don't talk to me or my son ever again if you think otherwise
+justin a Hush, my pet -- soon we shall feast on the souls of the lesser.
Dylan Baldwin okay I don't wanna play anymore
Outkast dropped a new album? No way, stoked to listen thanks Anthony!

no
this is a masterpiece. not 1 weak track on the album, every single song adds to this album. Production that still sounds fresh today, iconic bars from big boi and andre 3k alike. Absolute certified classic, and one of my favourite albums ever.
This is a really old comment but I just want to say - do you really think wheelz of steel has aged well? lol
Seth Mars absolutely. This album is southern hip hop to the fullest. U put this album on and never have to hit the skip button still to this day
Seth Mars What? I thought Wheelz of Steel was one of the best tracks on the album haha
@@sethmars7136 You mean to tell me you think it hasn't?
Seth Mars listen to Andre's first verse
Go to shower
smoke a joint
go to bed
set your headphones on
set the lights of
close your eyes
and listen to the full Atliens and aquimini albums
You will fly to another univers
Peace from Germany!!!
agreed
ATLiens, The Score, Makavelli, All Eyez On Me, Reasonable Doubt, It Was Written, Hell On Earth. 96' gon' be that year......
paul blake and Lil' Boat
SJW 4LIFE That all y'all playa haters can bite me
what about gfk's ironman
Endtroducing.....
Dj Shadow
Why Hip Hop sucks in 96
Don't know who those two are but they sound like wack skinny jeans rappers
It always bothered me how people would downplay Big Boi like he was just Andre's weed carrier. I've said this before and I'll say it again, Big Boi is just as good of a rapper as 3 Stacks.
mistahmst Just Andre's style for most part puts him a notch up from Big Boi.
Jacob Hartwell I always dug Big Boi's style. His smooth, cool demeanor complimented Andre's more eccentric style perfectly.
mistahmst without big boi, there is no andre and vice versa.
Imad S Exactly
I think 3000 was more palatable for the artsy/experimental types lol That's not to say that 3 Stacks is a punk or weenie at all, but Big Boi definitely kept it more "hood" and straightforward than 3 stacks. But this what made them so great. The group is basically is yin and yang.
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik was big bois album
ATLiens was Andre 3K's
Aquemini was the best blend of the two
But all are class
MOOD FM : MF DOOM id actually flip ATLiens and Aquemini
TheMissingLink I agree
TheMissingLink for sure, aquemini is definitely led by three stacks
TheMissingLink I wouldn’t Andre didn’t even have a verse on west savannah and slump
@@akidnamededdy9746 Dre was more on the production side of things.
OutKast - true brilliance. One of the best acts in hip hop ever. Period.
Of any genre, not just hip hop
True and nice pfp
One of the best Hip-hop groups period. ATLiens still sounds like nothing else in the South along with every other album after this.
Jack Gillespie But technically speaking without Organized Noize there wouldn't be an Outkast 😛
The GOAT duo
southernplayalistikcadillacmusik is better
Gg Jj EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH :/
Raphael De La Ghetto With the new album, A Tribe called quest comes close
Liquid swords review please
1000 degree knife review please
richard chan I agree😉
richard chan Liquid swords review would be great.
Better yet, OB4CL review
BIG MOUTH PRICK imo GZA>Rae in general (insert hateful comments now)
My fav Outkast album right here!
hey resonance guy
aquemini is better in my opinion but love atliens aswell
samee!!
My fav album right here!
Fantastic record! Ive listened to there first five records over the last few years and they are really something special. Last i heard they are reuniting for a tour and new album :-) I'm excited!
xisumavoid woo minecrafter i luv dat
Wuutttt, did not expect to see you here...
Your the last person i would expoct to be here but im wont complain becouse
*ur a man of culture*
wow didn't expect to see you here!!! damn
omgg I didn’t expect you here
This album is the comfiest hip-hop record ever made. The deep, bottomless oceanic production, the disembodied scratches, the space theme, the melancholic vibe and the personal lyrics. It continues to blow my mind that andre and big boi were only 21 when they made this album. Just fucking geniuses, nothing else to say.
Love your description! Do you have any other reccos for comfy hip-hop?
@@janjanas3634 it’s been a year but I’d say the college dropout by Kanye, it’s my favorite album of all time. Even though some of my other favorite albums would stomp all over it in normal standards, the college dropout actually feels like home to me. The production is smooth and Kanye’s careless flow mixes with it perfectly. Highly recommend tcd
@@needanewsandwich2359its such a grand and larger than life album that i have no idea how you'd call it comfy. I always listen to it SPECIFICALLY to leave my comfort zone. Even other Ye albums that you could maybe call "comfy" like Late Registration and ye still have expensive and dramatic sounding sections in its songs
Bruh anthony bringing back that early 2015 haircut again
ArmyOfWalrus We can still believe that he went old school can't we?
This was shot forever ago
chrysanth. 「少女全能」 exactly hehe xd
jaidsalgado because it's a 2015 video lol
jaidsalgado never again
Aquemini will always be better than ATLiens imo but ATLiens is still a classic. Outkast has arguably the best discography in Hip-Hop and one of the best of all music
Rappatiligoe0419 they have the most consistent discography and I can't argue probably the best.
Rappatiligoe0419 agreed. outkast & the roots have the best discographies. I would give the upper hand to the roots since they have 2-3x as many albums and they are all great
A tribe called quest never had an album that wasn`t above average in some way, Run The Jewels will get in that argument with a couple more records as good as the first 3
Arguable that Aquemini is better. I say yes
Also, The Roots have the GOAT discog. Kanye and Kast are 2nd place to me followed by Tribe, Ghostface, DOOM, Nas and Common followed by Public Enemy followed by the rest
I'm like Kubrick with two bricks
BehnProductions and hoes on the strip
BehnProductions I'm like Spielberg with ill words and hoes on the curb.

Ymbert Bonaventure Dickens Oh, you ain't know that When it rain, when it pour, get your ass on the floor now.
Filthy Frank said he is releasing Pink Season very soon, Outhony Kastano starts classics week
Coincidence? I think not.
btw, who is also hype for that cancer?
SkyRip me it's gonna be a 10 no doubt
he even said "pinktony pinktano" in the beginning.
could it be a foreshadowing for a prince review? I mean along with the albums in the back..
Patrick O'Donnell I doubt it. he already reviewed purple rain.
Wow, Outkast finally released a new album! I loved their album Roses so much but it was short not sure why they haven't made music in a couple years.
this album is old
Wut.
AtomicBomberMan No that's a Danny Brown album, this is Outkast's ATLiens album.
Shane Benjamson
yeah. and its an old album. came out in the 90s
AtomicBomberMan No, Old came out in 2013 I believe where are you getting this information??
this is my personal favorite Outkast album
1 - ATLiens
2 - Aquemini
3 - Stankonia
@@ek06beats57 your list is backwards hahahaha
@@jacobbuljan7728 no
Jacob Buljan no
Wait why doesn't he write his favorite tracks or the rating classic/10 in the description
Rashotcake perhaps the tracks blended into one album/experience too well
He doenst do that on classic reviews
he's selling out.
Timob he does do that tho, he did it with illmatic, in utero, etc.
Cause he knows if he didn't put a 10 he was getting that ass beat
Some classic suggestions:
the college dropout- kanye west
are you experienced- jimi hendrix
sgt peppers lonely hearts club band- the beatles
reasonable doubt- jay z
the marshall mathers lp- eminem
you have great/diverse taste
WockAdimi yawn
I'm pretty sure remix is being sarcastic, your shits basic as fuck
I sell squaids they are all classic albums that he hasn't reviewed dumbass
Nah The Blueprint is far more superior to Reasonable Doubt
Oh no he has hair again

Andre’s “check to check” line is one of the top 10 best lines in hip hop history
Damn, I always forget that his rating for classics is just "Classic"
/I just bought the album on vinyl. I remember hearing the album back in the day, but I don't really remember it. I love how you review albums because you just talk about it and don't really play a lot of the music in the background. I might be the only one out there, but sometimes I'll buy an album and wait to hear it fully on vinyl before I can fully talk and tell people about the album! My point is I didn't want to hear any of the tracks in the review. I just wanted to hear what you had to say about it. Overall great review. 9 out of 10. You made me more hyped about hearing the album again after so many years. It should arrive tomorrow. Keep doing these kinds of reviews!!!
This has been one of my favorite albums of all time. The way it kicks off with Two Dope Boyz sets the table for the first half of this album. I absolutely love the scratching on Wheels of Steel. I was in high school when it came out and I think this is the album that pulled me away from the west coast G Funk music into a entirely different world of Hip Hop. It has definitely stood the test of time. If I could pick two duos from 20 years ago to come back and drop albums this year... Outkast and Black Star.
Review dat Pimp Trick Gangsta Clique album
Me and you .....
OG LANI Yo momma and yo cousin too
one fuh the money yessir two fuh the show...
A couple of years ago on Headland & Delowe...
If its classics week does that mean we're getting a Slime Season 3 review?
dyldragon1 i just took a giant shit that equally deserves a review as much as slime season
+ayowhatup oh yeah its new music so it must be trash. Let me get on the internet and bash it. Dude, Thug is at least trying something different. Relax
Zach Fanara nah not cuz it's new there's plenty of great new artists but for some reaso ya'll listen to the new shitty ones like lil jetski or whateva
ayowhatup Andre 3000 loves young thug
After a hard day back to school , I needed this
you literally could have chosen any Outkast album and you couldn't have gone wrong. I would have preferred Aquemini or Stankonia but I still love ATLiens
always liked this one more than aquemini, which is definitely also a classic, but as far as cohesiveness and vibe goes, atliens takes it. it doesn't waste your time with skits, it's got insane song concepts, and the melancholic tone of the album, specifically the production, is unique in hip hop to this day. smoothest rap album of all time
I don't understand people who think Aquemini is a better album to be honest..
Eshq I think it's their best album tbh. I'm not sure why, it's just better to me
TGNetwork 801 i find those synth sounds disgusting tbh.. i respect the album but i don't like it, i love da art of storytellin p1 tho
Eshq Opinions?
Eshq I guess it's all just opinions
Eshq da art of storytelling tho
It's great that you also acknowledge and review Hip Hop classic albums that inspire Hip Hop today as well as new albums. I believe that makes young people wanna know more about the origins of Hip Hop. And as an old school Hip Hop fan I would like to see you reviewing more old school Hip Hop albums (especially The Pharcyde- Bizarre Ride II)
SOLO THAT I CAN SEE UNDER THE SKIRT OF AN ANT
SO LOW THAT I DONT GET HIGH NO MORE WHEN I GERONIMO I JUST GO EH
I'm not even into hip-hop, but Outkast has that different vibe in every album they drop that's just pure fire.
I like how you contextualize the album with the time in which it was released. It helps putting everything in perspective and understanding the album better.
I love listening to this guy analyse hip hop records. He's very addictive for some reason. Very articulate and insightful.
missed a cut at around 8:20, you slacking fantano
love you
I called the crib they say "Breeze yeen know?"
I say "What?", Big Time got popped in his Benzo
You have gotten very good at captivating the listener while being concise and purposeful with your reviews. The result of over 5 years of doing this I suppose, but it really shows in your classic reviews.
At first i didnt like that album much, but he grew on me through the years, this thing is a masterpiece, "Growin Old" brings tears to my eyes. OutKast are the best of all time dude, i love these guys.
This album is still one of my favorites and one of the best albums that dropped in 96' outside of all eyez on me, It was written, hardcore , 7 day theory, the speed of light, the resurrection and to some degree the doggfather. Anthony I'm not sure where you were, but Atliens and Elevators were bangers and got played everywhere! Now throw your hands in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
And if you like fish and grits and all that pimp shit
Then everybody let me hear you say O-Yea-yer!! Nice review BTW!!
Okay Anthony, Kidz Bop 1 Review better be uploaded tomorrow or this series is done
This was beautiful and quite accurate, Anthony. ATLiens was the first album I ever bought.
One thing to consider about the lull you mentioned at 11:45, I believe this album was made to be a cassette tape. I first bought it on cassette and Wheelz of Steel was the end of side A. I think the back end was decidedly more experimental, mellower, and featured more of their label mates.
i have bin only bin subscribed for less than than a year to you brother but this is the first time ive commented , i see all your content . your always spot on. much love to you and your passion. misael from mexico
This album was literally released the day before my birth.
Sergant Kornballz that is literally cool and nice
Sergant Kornballz lol guarantee anyone could find a great album or mixtape that came out near their birthday
The Immortal Technique song Dance With The Devil was released the day I was born
Aquemini > ATLiens
Zach Williams agreed
I'm with you man, ATLiens was a big Andre album, but in Aquemini they both were able to show their full range
Nah aquemini had some good tracks but some songs like mamacita were just unnecessary ATLiens is a classic start to finish
Ben Shearer Big Boy did tons of stuff on ATLiens, I wouldn't say it's equal but it's not that bad
Zach Williams Nope by the time Aqemini cane out they weren't two dope boys in a Cadillac anymore. They were two multi-millionaires completing their contract the soul was gone.
Thank you for this! Classic album everyone should have in their library.
I had this album on replay for years, I didn't realise why it appealed to me so much until i matured into adulthood, Andre's versus are somewhat poetic , the content was mature. I listen to some of the 90's hip hop now and realise how basic the content was, even basic MC's had value though; when you look at early hip-hop collectively at least. Thanks for the reviews man, love the channel.
If you ever have time could you make a video that lists recommendations of great albums in other genres for those who love hip-hop. I know this is vague but I would like to give other genres such as punk a listen but don't know where to start. I know taste is subjective so this may be a hard request. Thanks again.
One for the money yessuh, two for the show...
A couple weeks ago
Detective Derpy on headland and delowe, was the start of sumthin good
i was gonna write the same exact comment hahaha
You should do a classic album review of Souls of Mischiefs 93 'Til Infinity...
Spectony Blindtano
Did yours have distortion on B1 Jezze Belle Track? I would like confirmation frm alternative source (other than discogs) to deem how widespread it is and thus if I should by it
Hey needle drop love the channel. Love your authenticity and knowledge of music opens people eyes to other aspects of music such as production instruments etc. BUT FORREAL ARE YOU EVER GOING TO REVIEW MY BOY Bryson tillers ALBUM TRAPSOUL!?!??!?
This is easily top 5 hip hop albums ever made. The beats are absolutely outstanding and as for the mcing, dre and big are superb
Can we please get a review on a Big L album please?
One of my Top 5 favorite albums of all time. Not just rap either, out of all genres. A true masterpiece.
My favorite hip hop album of all time. Of course Aquemini, Stankonia, and even the Love Below/Speakerboxxers have some great songs in them like Spottieottiedopealicious, Miss Jackson, and Hey Ya, but ATLiens is such a complete and beautiful album. Great review Memetano.
This is the album of my life. Outkast is the best thing to ever come out of Atlanta, I wish ATL still had this sound, man. Isaiah Rashad seems to carry the torch. #Outkast4Life
If you are doing old albums, could you do one on N. E. R. D In Search Of?
Cartie King this is classics week
>Implying In Search Of isn't a classic
Bobby James is the best song from that album?
Depends on O.G. electronic or Spymob instruments version
Thegamedonuts A fellow redditor! how goes it sir?
Great review, made me notice more of the influence they had. I often feel like a song is making a callout to outkast but im never sure
Great review and review choice! During the mid 90's it meant a lot to have Black rap artists entertaining us with beats and themes other than being paid major $$$ to glorify killing in the community because of the poverty we all were experiencing. Pharcyde, Tribe Called Quest, Arrested Development... some of these groups were a beacon for Black youngsters at the time who weren't just fans but actually dealt with the realities the group rapped about. Outkast's music depicted the artistry, tragedy and positive affirmation. Appreciated the stroll down memory lane!
Is "G Funk-inspired" the new "Trap-inspired"?
This review was done months ago right?
LOL.
that Kendrick line made my day, I've been comparing Gkmc to old Andre 3k since it dropped
Anthony, greetings from miami, fl. Could you please create a review for the album "believers" by ¡Mayday!. I was just revisiting it the other day and cannot fathom you not enjoying it. hopefully I am putting you on to something that flew under your radar, (doubt it though). thanks.
Solo that I am no rookie, but feel like a kid
Looking at the others
with astonishment while I'm on punishment
Watching the summer come close to an end
^3k is constantly referencing himself in the season of fall
I keep forgetting they were only 21 when they made this..Jesus
Does the shirt suggest a wu-tang or wu-tang member's album Besthony Teethtano? Liquid Swordz?
do you want to review the albums of skating polly? they seem to have potenial. what do you think?
"I came into this world high as a bird from second hand cocaine powder"
i know it sounds absurd
And then proceeds to rhyme "while the" with "powder" flawlessly.
Instead of Classics week I wish you did a Classics month.
Thanx for this review for ATLiens, have you ever do Aquemini album review?
My favorite Outkast album n really appreciate this review of yours.
Classic review: College Dropout
in my opinion this was outkast best album .. from start to finish i still dont skip their tracks i just let the album play . as far as their other albums they have a couple good songs here and there and then their albums just got weird atleast for me lol. but ATliens is straight up classic
Literally have just been on a crazy atliens kick lately and this comes up in my feed 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I LOVE this album. It can be played during any mood. It's seriously one of my favorite hip hop albums ever.
Damn son Where'd you find this
Marshall Mathers LP
Black Star
The Diary
Mathematics
lifestylz ov da poor and dangerous
you da homie fantonie
By Mathematics you mean Black on Both Sides?
MyNameIsGhost All Kanye before Yeezus, Madvillainy, ATLiens, Aquemini, Take Care, House Of Balloons, Illmatic,and Liquid Swords are some of my favorite hip hop/R&B records.
mmlp is BEST
Would be cool if you brought back the FAV tracks for classics. I usually use those to initially get into the album, much like other viewers I'm sure.
This is the most important album in the history of hip hop (Aquimini is the most important album in the history of music). Thank you for this review of this classic album created by the greatest musical artist in the history of music. 99% of music has influences from the iconic group and that's most prevalent in looking how influential the South is in hip hop and popular culture in general. Most people don't know that they were producers as well since they went under the name Earthtone III (as you mentioned). Knowing they curated every aspect of these legendary songs puts them head and shoulders over any artist they could be compared to them. In 97 it was either East or West Coast and those sounds and styles over saturated the market this was a brilliant side step of the norm from that time as we've recently seen with Kendrick's To Pimp A Butterfly and Childish Gambino's Awaken, My Love. What they did with obvious jazz and funk themes respectively, Atliens did with airy space sounds and early forms of melodic flows (which is the norm today). I could literally write a dissertation on this album. In fact this album inspired a short story I wrote in 07 for the 10th anniversary of the album. I guess in the last sentence alone you can tell how life changing this album was for a 11 year old kid from San Diego and transforming him into an Atlien. #IAmOutKast #OutKastGeneration
Classic review but you only gave this a 7/10???
He give him "classic"
U SHOULD HAVE REVIEWED STANKONIA U MELON THAT ALBUM WAS ONE OF THE MOST GROUNDBREAKING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME
S.J Karely that album has the best skits tbh
KlvnDxxminique outkast in general have some great skits.
I always find it hard to compare ATLiens and Aquemini. I have a special place in my heart for ATLiens as they started to find the inner essence of what made them Outkast, but still being two raw dudes ahead of their time as well having the track "13th floor/Growing Old." Aquemini is really when they had it figured out, and the tracks just bang so hard from the insane production and tight rhymes.
Love this album, i would love to see your opinions/review on Aquemini one day
Please review:
A Love Supreme - John Coltrane
College Dropout - Kanye West
NIN - The Downward Spiral review pls
When you said on Twitter an Outkast review was coming, I was expecting Stankonia, but this is great because I like ATLiens more.
Can someone explain me the polar bear toe nails line?
What's so cool about it?
I am new to hip-hop
Outkast definitely influenced many hip hop artists since albums like this
Outkast is Hip-hop.
How it is when it ain't all peaches and cream.
Since you got that "1999" album out there...why not review it? I'm eager to hear what you got to say about Prince's use of the Linn Drums.
I remember being a kid in the 90s and growing up with outkast as my fav group. I remember getting this tape for Christmas of 96! babylon, elavators, 2 dope boys, atliens, mainstream, millennium
3 Stackz the G.O.A.T
Wilzeys Yep
If you're doing classics week, could you please do
LMFAO - Sorry For Party Rocking
thanks :)
TOP 5 HIP HOP ALBUM AND OUTKAST BEST WORK IMO. remember bumping this in my 2002 Taurus after buying it at a garage sale. the nostalgia is crazy YO ANTHONY U REAL FOR THIS ONE
ATLiens was that album that REALLY paved the way for these two and acted like a bridge into the next level of their career.
I feel like while Southernplayalistic was INCREDIBLE and NOTHING sounding like it in 1994, if they never evolved from that album, then they would have most likely not become the ICONS they are today.
People forget that Outkast is one of the few if not the ONLY a hip hop group to TRULY balance commercial AND critical success.
I mean we all have our own favorite Outkast album, but the facts are that ALL of them are multi-platinum AND pretty well received. This is a testament to not only the genius of Outkast but the DUNGEON FAMILY as well.
But damn you know Atlanta was on FIRE when this dropped shiiiiit 96 Olympics, the upcoming Freaknik '97, etc. Damn I love the 90s lol
