    Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, ATLiens, Aquemini, & Stakonia trump any Kanye album, in my opinion. I don't understand how this is so one sided in favor of Kanye.

    edit - after actually voting in the poll I see that it is indeed nearly neck & neck lol

    Very tough decision. I'd go OutKast, though

    Kanye. Did not care for Idlewild. Cared for all Ye albums. Coming from a huge OutKast fan too.

    it's not horrendous. it's middling. it's just a huge outlier when you line up these 12 albums.

    d--- d--- close.

    So you have to look at who has made weaker material. Outkast always has a few misses on albums. Kanye rarely does if ever.

    Gotta give it to Kanye. People pinpoint Idlewild as Outkast's big misstep, which is true, but they often forget how much Speakerboxxx/The Love Below was hurt by its length. A pretty good album that could have been utterly brilliant, which makes it more disappointing than Idlewild, which was always going to be something of a mess.

    Kanye, but it was tough. I consider Yeezy to have 3 classics, as well as Outkast, but I consider all of Ye's albums above average, and I did find Southernplayalisticadillacmuzic an average album.

    yeah, Outkast at their peak>Kanye at his peak. I don't think CD/LR are AT ALL better than the likes of Aquemini or ATLiens. Those 2 albums are pretty much unbeatable imo, i have no problem putting Aquemini up against any album ever.

    Kanye has kind of been more consistent, but I still think Yeezus & MBDTF aren't as good as CD or LR.

    can't stand anything from OutKast, what have they got besides S/TLB and the one before it?
    Kanye has CD, LR, Grad, 808s, MBDTF, WTT & Yeezus.
    Nuff f---ing said

    So what you're saying is you haven't even heard their best material?

    Go listen to Aquemini and wash your mouth. Dipshit.

    I've heard Aquemini & ATLiens. Haven't heard that one from 2006 though, gave up after that. I'll only listen to them if I can't sleep one night and I want to get so bored that I can sleep.
