 OutKast
OutKast is currently one of the two most successful hip-hop groups of all time (the other being The Fugees[1]), having sold 20 million copies of their six releases: four studio albums, a greatest hits release, and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, a double album containing a solo album from each member of the group.
OutKast was one of the headlining acts at the show, and gave two performances: Patton performed "The Way You Move" during a medley with George Clinton and P-Funk and Robert Randolph and the Family Band, while Benjamin performed "Hey Ya" as the show closer.
While searching through a dictionary Big Boi and Andre came across the word "outcast" and decided this would be a perfect group name, for at the time the hip hop industry was dominated by eastcoast and westcoast rappers who saw southern rappers as outcast.

 Big Boi & Dre Present, Outkast (PA) Music CD is available from Bestprices.com
While on the surface, Outkast's initial single, 1994's "Player's Ball," may have seemed like just another hip-hop-word-of-the-moment single, closer attention revealed the mushed-up, twister slang of the lyrics and the oddly droll angle on Yuletide packed into a pop-rap single of gangstas at play.
Thereafter, Big Boi and Dre produced three solid, but under-appreciated albums in the '90s, remaining on the periphery of stardom with the occasional hit, and stirring a bit of controversy with "Rosa Parks." While enough of a buzz had built by 2000, no one could have predicted the intensely beautiful chaos and disorder permeating STANKONIA.
BIG BOI & DRE PRESENT includes all aforementioned hits and will likely add a few to the Outkast legend as the duo somehow manages to expand its horizons further.

 Record (Metro Times Detroit)
If Stankonia captured OutKast at its peak, the journey from upstart Southern pimps to the undisputed Kings of Crunk is documented in earnest on its new greatest-hits package, Big Boi and Dre Present …, which adds three new tracks to a dozen cuts taken from the duo’s four albums.
What really separates old from new is that over the course of their career the men of OutKast have become great songwriters — not tunesmiths like the Lennon-McCartney model, but architects of tracks that yoke ghetto vignettes and dexterous flow to visionary grooves.
Where that track epitomizes the hooky whimsy written into OutKast’s worldview, a woman Andre quotes in “Rosa Parks” captures its envelope-pushing work ethic: “Baby boy, you’re only funky as your last cut.” Only thing is, these 15 cuts prove that OutKast has been pretty funky (and then some) all along.

 Outkast: Big Boi and Dre Present...Outkast [2001] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
But the facts back it up: Ever since, Big Boi and Andre 3000 have relentlessly upped the ante in the world of hip-hop, reinventing the deep funk of mid-70's Parliament/Funkadelic with liberal doses of Zeppelin and Hendrix-inspired electric guitar and throwing in the fresh beats of Dirty South collaborators Organized Noize for good measure.
Big Boi and Dre Present...OutKast doesn't fit into the mode of these albums, indicative by the fact that the band's first release, 1994's Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, is most heavily represented, with five tracks.
This is a singles collection, and therefore the only consistent theme running through this release is the high quality cuts that fill the generous 73-minute-plus playing time.

For nearly ten years, Andre 3000 and Big Boi have grown from underground to mainstream commercial hit makers.
I haven't really followed Outkast for that long, but i think they have the ability to make a southern funky vibe sound like it was made for radio waves.

When examining this album it seems the biggest mistake may in fact be that it was limited to one disc only.
A two-disc set could have easily comprised their 'greatest hits' on one LP and included the brand new songs as well as some more obscure OutKast tracks on the second.
There isn't a single song herein that isn't worth repeated replay in your Discman, but long-time OutKast fans may want to pass on this one despite the new material.
