Black Eyed Peas vs Outkast

[tlongII]

Who wins?

[Summers]

Outkast.

[IronMexican]

Black Eyes Peas is the best band of this generation.

[DPG21920]

Is this a joke? Outkast is easily better and Dre is one of the best rappers alive.

[tlongII]

No joke. I actually like both bands.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Not even close. Outkast

[Spursfan092120]

Andre and Big Boi own this battle by a long shot...not even close.

[tlongII]

Are people saying Outkast because they're not as popular?

[baseline bum]

That's like asking who wins between Shasta and Coke. Or Miller Lite and Sierra Nevada. Or Pontiac and Ferrari. Or Blazers and Spurs.

[Spursfan092120]

Are people saying Outkast because they're not as popular?
No...trust me..I'm the farthest from a nonconformist that there is...we're saying it because Outkast is 100 times better...Tupac Shakur rolled over in his grave the first time he heard Boom, Boom, Pow, I guarantee you..compare that shit to these..

OxL13M9fWIY fjNLQeohXew

Like I said...not even close.

[tlongII]

Hey, I like Outkast, but I think people seriously underestimate the talent of Black Eyed Peas as well. You might not like Boom Boom Pow, but it was the #1 single for 26 consecutive weeks. Their music definitely sells. Outkast sells a lot too, but not quite as much as Black Eyed Peas.

[DPG21920]

Outkast is original and they always hit you with something new and cool. Way more talented. Like I said, I actually think andre 3000 is the best rapper alive.

[DPG21920]

Do you like Twilight Tlong?

You must forget about Speakerboxx/The Love Below...the tracks on this double album owned the charts...Boom Boom Pow, while it does sell, yes...doesn't mean that they're better than Outkast. The talent level isn't even close...the music that Outkast put out is on a level above Black Eyed Peas..and that's not even dissing BEP...I like them...Outkast is just better.

[tlongII]

Do you like Twilight Tlong?

:lol

NO!

[Spursfan092120]

I love how you threw out alive...Biggy and Pac were better...but Andre 3000 very well could be the best alive...though I think that would be the absolute hardest fact to prove in history...lol..T

[DPG21920]

Some early BEP was cool (Thats the joint, thats the jam, turn it up play it again...), but now they are kind of whack. Good club music I guess, but not very talented.

[DPG21920]

:lol

NO!

Well, Twilight smashes at the box office, but that does not make it good you see.

[tlongII]

Well, Twilight smashes at the box office, but that does not make it good you see.

Actually it probably does make it good. Just not my thing.

[InRareForm]

Outkast for sure.

Aquemini is one of the best.

[Spursfan092120]

Actually it probably does make it good. Just not my thing.
My wife made me watch it with her in exchange for her watching "Bloodsport" with me....it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen....absolutely horrible.

[DPG21920]

Bloodsport is one of the best movies ever. I learned how to do the coin switch trick and it has helped me in many situations since.

[Fpoonsie]

I'd say Outkast is certainly more talented, but the Peas aren't too terrible either.

[Spursfan092120]

Bloodsport is one of the best movies ever. I learned how to do the coin switch trick and it has helped me in many situations since.
lmao..I'd love to learn that one...it'd be epic..."Looks like she's mine...now leave the lady alone..you understand that?" Van Damme was a beast..

[ginobili's bald spot]

Dumbass thread tlong. Black eyes peas are garbage. Outkast is the shit. No contest.

[dickface]

the fuck are you talking about? OutKast has outsold BEP by a large margin and they've had bigger #1 hits. And they don't suck ass like the Peas.

[dirk4mvp]

Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik is a fine piece of work and still one of my favorite albums.

The Peas usually have some pretty good beats and that Meet Me Halfway song is currently stuck in head.

[LnGrrrR]

Who wins?

Is this really even a question? I haven't read the thread yet, but plan to rip anyone who doesn't say Outkast.

[LnGrrrR]

Are people saying Outkast because they're not as popular?

WHAT?

Outkast is far more popular than Black Eyed Peas... if you're referring to people who, ya know, actually listen to hip hop.

Edit: Actually, I've heard that the Black Eyed Peas early stuff was decent, but I haven't checked it out yet.

[dickface]

Maybe if OutKast hired some untalented man-faced slut to dance on stage with them, tschlong would like them as much as Black Eyed Peas.

[dirk4mvp]

Tlong's bubble will be busted once he finds out that asian looking tranny who never gets to sing or rap is actually a beaner.

[tlongII]

the fuck are you talking about? OutKast has outsold BEP by a large margin and they've had bigger #1 hits. And they don't suck ass like the Peas.


Over 25 million copies have been sold of OutKast's eight releases: six studio albums, a greatest hits release, and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, a double album containing a solo album from each member.


Since their album Elephunk in 2003, the group's hip hop/dance-oriented style has sold an estimated 29 million albums worldwide and 27 million singles. They scored their first worldwide hit with "Where Is The Love?" in 2003, which topped over ten charts worldwide.

[dickface]

tschlong, like anyone gives a fuck what CDs people in Guatemala buy.

[dickface]

that's just as bad as those dumbasses from Argentina claiming some Nazi-loving fag from their country is more popular than Oprah.

[lil_penny]

Cooler than a polar bears toe nails

Bottom Line

[CuckingFunt]

Pre-Fergie Black Eyed Peas was good, but still not at the same level as OutKast. Post-Fergie Black Eyed Peas sucks humps.

[tlongII]

But pre-Fergie BEP didn't sell shit! :lol

[Spursfan092120]

But pre-Fergie BEP didn't sell shit! :lol
Twilight, TLong...Twilight...if you're asking what music is better for pre-pubescent girls, yes...BEP is better...if you're asking what is better music overall, it's no contest.

[JamStone]

I gotta show some love to my fellow Filipino, Apl d Ap. BEP's first album was nice during a time in the early 90s where very little hip hop used live and original music, at least hip hop that got out in masses other than The Roots. Will.I.Am is actually a very gifted musician. He wrote and writes and produces most of the music and somewhat like Prince plays a lot of the instruments on the tracks, at least with their early music.

All that said, Outkast is easily better. Not only did BEP kinda get really pop oriented with their music, but none of the three emcees are particularly good rappers. Taboo isn't good period. And Will is probably average, and he's prolly the best among them. Not only that, but the substance of their raps overall does not touch what Big Boi and Andre spit. It is quite a disparity between the two based on lyrical skill and topical substance. Thing with BEP is that they aren't rappers. They were a b-boy, break dance crew who rapped. Will had musical talent and they got some airplay. But they're not even in the same stratosphere as Outkast.

[jaffies]

But pre-Fergie BEP didn't sell shit! :lol

[23LeBronJames23]

EMINEM is the best rapper alive

[TheMACHINE]

i like the pre-fergie BEP jams...although, to say BEP isnt original is a bit of a stretch.

My fave BEP song:

[Cry Havoc]

This is all you need to know about BEP:

http://www.cracked.com/video_17618_black-eyed-peas-have-officially-written-worst-song-ever.html

[MannyIsGod]

Its not even close.

Fergie, motherfucker. They have FERGIE.

No, Outkast by a fucking mile.

[atxrocker]

Outkast by a mile and i'll echo everyone else who said that it isn't even close. that said, I also agree that their earliest album was actually pretty good.




Will.I.Am is actually a very gifted musician. He wrote and writes and produces most of the music and somewhat like Prince plays a lot of the instruments on the tracks, at least with their early music.



not sure if you've heard his collaborations with sergio mendes (with both erykah badu and black thought) but Will.I.Am is pretty good here:

[ATRAIN]

Outkast but BEP before that whore Fergi was really good. Fucking Sell outs!!

[tp2021]

3 stacks is one of the best rappers living. He's more than a rapper, he's a lyricist. Funk, soul, R&B, jazz, blues, hip-hop...his style is a little bit of everything.

[tlongIII]

:lol

NO!


Hey dad you made me go see Twilight with you. I thought you said it was one of the best movies in the past 10 years.

[ShoogarBear]

Do you like Twilight Tlong?

:lmao

[phxspurfan]

Outkast is iconic.

[ShoogarBear]

tlong is old as shit. He doesn't really know anything about either group, he's just garnering some info he can use for this weekend's club patter.

[Cheese]

Outkast vs. Black Eyed peas...Bad comparison.Now Outkast vs. Goodie Mob,there's a lot better comparison....

[stretch]

Outkast by far

[Rip-Hamilton32]

Outkast but i don't see how the 2 can really be compared seeing as their music is so different and same with the audience they attract, BEP is mostly famous because of teens who listen to radio music

but Chamillionaire is the best rapper alive.

[atxrocker]

but Chamillionaire is the best rapper alive.

i like some of his stuff, but this isn't even close to being true.

[TheMACHINE]

i like some of his stuff, but this isn't even close to being true.

who is?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Rappin' Shaq

[monosylab1k]

who is?

not Chamillionaire, that's for damn sure.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

most people have heard ridin' dirty and don't like Cham but he is one of the very few real rappers that have great lyrics and flow, his new album is supposed to be very positive and different and i think its going to be great just by listening to his new single Good Morning

[dirk4mvp]

Chamillionaire > Cool Kids

atxrocker is probably gonna say some underground chode who is supposedly "deep"

[monosylab1k]

The Cool Kids aren't all that good of rappers, I know that. I just like their music & style. Putting out good rap music doesn't necessarily make you a good rapper.

Chamillionaire is alright but he's nowhere near "Best Rapper Alive" status.

[atxrocker]

atxrocker is probably gonna say some underground chode who is supposedly "deep"

:lol

alright, i'll make it easy then. i don't have much time here or i would name some "underground" acts who i consider better. but plain and simple: KRS-1 and Del tha Funkee Homosapien are both still alive, pretty well known and more talented then Chamillionaire. and before the fanboys cause noise over this, i'll reiterate that I do like some of chamillionaire's stuff but to say he's the "greatest" alive is nothing short of ludacris.

[tlongII]

I agree. Ludacris is probably the best rapper alive. :tu

[atxrocker]

I agree. Ludacris is probably the best rapper alive. :tu

haha.. i meant Ludicrous

[Hornets1]

outkast by miles and miles and miles and miles and.......................

[stretch]

who is?

Lupe

[resistanze]

b.o.b. > BEP's existence

[leemajors]

Outkast is better, Rakim is still the master.

[balli]

Rakim is still the master.
QFT. Dude brings it.

[LnGrrrR]

Del the Funky Homosapien is fun to listen to, has good lyrics, good subject matter, and a good flow. I'm not sure if he's the best alive either, but I enjoy his stuff.

[Whisky Dog]

But, but.... Coke IS better than Pepsi!!!!


All depends on your taste buds

[balli]

But, but.... Coke IS better than Pepsi!!!!

There's a difference between subjective preference for and the actual quality of something. Thus, there's room for objective analysis. I can say I like McD's cheeseburgers more than kobe beef burgers from Ruth's Chris, but I'd be wrong to say they're better.

Sure, people are entitled to their preference of BEP, but that doesn't mean BEP is better than Outkast. In other words: Some people are under-served by their tastebuds.

As far as coke v. pepsi specifically- as a believer in Malcolm Gladwell, I believe our preference is formed by far different processes than what we think they actually taste like, respectively. The same probably goes for music.

[DAF86]

that's just as bad as those dumbasses from Argentina claiming some Nazi-loving fag from their country is more popular than Oprah.

lol your butt is still sore about that? :lol

By saying they're "better" either way you just made a claim on your personal preference, your opinion. Because you believe it to be true does not make it true for everyone else. There is absolutely no way to quantify anything as subjective as "better" because it's purely personal preference. To some individuals it's completely possible and legitimate for a McDonalds McDouble to be "better" than a Kobe beef patty. Maybe they don't like the extra marbling of the Kobe beef, whatever, the point is it's all personal preference.

Of course the things that decide personal preference aren't all internal, so many things such as marketing and other external factors (like radio exposure) decide what someone may feel is "better". People are extremely impressionable by nature and most people have such a weak sense of reality that they look to others around them for cues on how to act, what to like, etc. It's the phenomonon that allows Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers to make even a cent.

[DAF86]

I didn't know grown ass men listened to Black Eyed Peas.

[balli]

It's the phenomonon that allows Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers to make even a cent.
:lol It's funny you say that, because I almost did too.

And good point. I guess you could sub out the word 'better' for something like 'higher quality'.
