Niggas Really Think Outkast Can Still Go Plat?

Single Succes Does Not Equal Album Success. (Nelly, Soulja Boy, Flocka)

I'm aware. Outkast is one of those groups that people have connected with because of the music they made. They're at a level where people are willing to invest in them even if they put out a whack product. I don't think Nelly, Soulja Boy, or Waka Flocka ever made music like that. In my opinion (again, just my opinion), the people you mentioned make disposable/just for a party music.

Outkast has had a history of making deep, meaningful music and releasing classic and near classic albums.

Kingdom Come was ass and it sold. Relapse was ass and it sold. Outkast will drop a quality product that will sell. Certain artists have just established such a large and loyal fan base that sales are inevitable.

You reaching hard, why did big boi sell so few then?

For one Hip Hop fans dont buy alot of records . Secondly alot of Hip Hop fans are fickle and look at Big Boi as the other nigga in Outkast ( which is sad ) and once u are in a group its hard for fans Hip Hop fans especially respect you or support your music outside of the group setting .

Outkast IS NOT on the level of Wayne,Em,Jay,Ye, or even Drake right now. You living in the past

So how can you say outkast would go plat?

Waka Flocka Connects With People Too. What You Saying?

Lol Flocka? Come on man, even you have to admit this is a stretch. Even if we go with this, Outkast came out in 1994, have one of the more impressive catalogues in hip hop and a a huge, diverse fan base. You can't seriously put Waka in the same conversation as them. Im not saying they're gonna do 2002 numbers. But if you don't think there'd be as much interest in an outkast album as in these so-so TI and Wayne records that do numbers, you might be wrong

So how can you say outkast would go plat?

Cause Outkast ( the group ) have more than just Hip Hop fans . They have fans that like , blues , rock , hip hop , alternative , soul etc .

Outkast is in that small circle of rap artist who still can go Platinum

 

[genocide_cutter]

Yes they can

 

[P. Town]

3 Stacks alone probably could have been one of the biggest artist in the World if he wasn't so private

they're not "hot" @ the moment, but they're quality. across most genres there's ALWAYS room for a group with that impressive of a catalog. and, as was stated earlier, Outkast isn't just a hip-hop group.

 

[dalyricalbandit]

lol, them boys went diamond the last time they put out a serious project. you know why? Because white people love outkast. And if you think they aren't coming out the gate with another hey ya/ms jackson you're crazy.

they went diamond because it was a double album..

Only niggas doin plat now days is em, jay and wayne hell kanye,t.i,drake and nicki stuggle to go plat takes them months to do so...not saying they wont sell plat but they wont be doing big numbers i think

 

[FyHunnit]

smh @ mobb deep being right with outkast..

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

Damn u got the throwback ABC avi lol

Playground, Iesha was the shit. Being from Atlanta I still remember the rivalry they had with Kriss Kross. They had a diss song called Wannabees or something like that.

And niggas wanna complain about these young cats and how much better it was in the 90s and shit. Fuck outta here.

 

[P. Town]

wut do you mean by private?

He's not out there. Dude comes out of hiding once every blue moon for a guest verse. I think dude could have been a huge star though

 

[P. Town]

why is that so hard to believe?

Mobb Deep is nowhere near Outkast level. Lyrically, musically, all around.

 

[Sovo_Nah]

I aint read these posts yet. with that said, Outkast is one of those groups that re-invent theirselves each time out. each album is better than the last. am i correct? They just might hit it out the ballpark again. Im looking forward to it.

You're lucky if you go gold in today's world. Did Eminem or Jay even go plat with their last projects? If so then Outkast can surely go plat as well. White people love Outkast, & if white people fuck with you, you're gonna sell. & even if they couldn't go plat, they could go gold easy.
