OutKast has almost singlehandedly defined the sound of Atlanta rap. Tongue-flippin`, rhyme-spittin` and Cadillac-ridin`, all with a Southern accent, Big Boi and Dre have proved to be the South`s ideal MCs. ATLIENS continues in the same vein as Outkast`s 1994 debut, SOUTHERNPLAYALISTICADILLACMUZIK, with producers Organized Noize back to accompany the duo`s laid-back flow.
Big Boi and Dre proclaim to prove a point with every rhyme, never wasting a line. They like to think of themselves as outcasts from the hip-hop community--aliens, so to speak. Their tracks have an outer-space feeling to them--a feeling that, ironically, has warmed the community right up to them. They`re so out, they`re in.
