I Loved the CD, i've been a fan of Outkast for a longtime and i use to have this CD but it was taken from me, so i wanted to get another one.

A lot of their hits came off this sophomore album. A must have of a classic album by the best hip-hop duo all time!!!

i would have to say i love this cd!! i believe it is the best work outkast has done on compiling a whole cd. songs have great beats and awesome rhymes! a few slow paced ballads, if you will, but still good. i will be jammin out to this cd for a very long time to come!

Southern Hip hop pioneers Outkast were just getting their footing on their second album, "ATLiens". On this album you can hear the hip hop group's growth, stemming from the fact that they came up with some of the beats for some of the songs themselves, instead of using Organized Noize."Elevators", produced under Outkast's Earthtone III moniker and the first single off this set, show that they can do as good a job as O.N. can, in addition to the innovative beats, their growth as poets is much more evident. Having lived in Atlanta for 14 years, I can clearly recall this album as being one of the most anticipated and sought after albums to drop that year...1996. After releasing their successful debut "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzic" the year before, the fever pitch for this one was extremely high. Overall,to the satisfaction of those who bought it when it was first released, the album became a true classic, bar none; it is also a concept album which is rare in hip hop. "Wheels of Steel" is another great song that captures the essence of hip hop with real southern flavor. If you don't have this album in your collection you should. A+++++

I first heard this album when I was 19 years old, now eleven years later, I still think it is the best album Outkast has ever made. I am not a big fan of "modern" hip hop. I like the "old skool" sound I grew up with and was first introduced to in the 1980's. The beats are hot, and the whole album flows together. Sound great in the car, or on a house system. Certainly, it is an album that can transcend thru the years, and adds classic flavor to an old skool collection. Highly recommended, loved this album for years. Some of the best memories I have as a teenager are brought back when I hear these songs. I am one for more "old skool" type songs. Lets talk about what "real" rap was created about- not the "bling bling" of this new generation of rap. I want to hear thought provoking lyrics, not about a guy who makes too much money rapping about nothing! Let me hear about hard times and hustles, making it check to check, etc. Let's hear it for "old skool" dirty South rhymes!

I'M VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE THIS CD BY OUTKAST IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. I ALSO BOUGHT IT BECAUSE IT WAS A GREAT DEAL.
