    Lol@ decent run, anyone would dream to have the career and critical acclaim OutKast had.

    I think he means that The Roots are still going since 93...

    Kast hasn't released an album since 03, unless you count the soundtrack to "Idlewild"...

    Their critical acclaim is about equal...

    Yall are very misinformed and ironically living in the past, it's ok to like Kast more but lets not pretend like The Roots are not certified...

    The Roots has an Equal amount of Critical acclaim as OUTKAST.?!? Lol
    Man get ALL the way The ? outta here that ? brah .

    They do tho...

    And currently relevant...

    Let me know when they go Diamond on an album and have the most requested album in Hip Hop
    Let me know when they win a Grammy for Alhum of the Year

    You know The Roots have 3 Grammys right?...

    The Roots are recognized as great but i feel they are underrated..
    i dont think people listened to their discography..
    I own several Roots albums and i can say there discography is hit & miss. Some albums are mad forgettable. None can touch Outkasts 1st 3 drops

    Damn near two different genres of hip hop.
    With the Roots being a actual live band I barely put them in as a true hip hop group. To me it is like putting Ojays vs Isley Brothers.

    Outkast is a true hip hop group that changed hip hop and especially changed how people viewed southern hip hop.
    Alot of people dont like Kast and think they are overrated because most of their music does not relate directly to them. Like most things that is their right to have that personal opinion. But they are a very small minority.

    So you caught feelings over The Roots accolades and needeed to prove Kast was better by posting that they won more Grammys and are more popular?

    You know the 2nd one was because I was directly responding to your previous Grammy post...

    Arms to short to box with Flygod...

    Why ignore the 15 albums and a GOAT emcee contender from the same post?...

    You ? always bring "feelings" into ? when the facts ain't going your way.

    Put it like this to end all the accolade talk...

    The Roots made 15 Albums and only won 3 grammys and 2 are in R&B categories and i have never heard anybody put Them or Black Thought in they top 10 until recently

    Outkast only made 5 Albums and won 6 Grammys and all are Hip Hop and Album of the Year and MANY people would put them or Andre 3000 in their Top 10.
    Even made a Diamond album...a very exclusive club to be apart of.

    Them ? ain't get so 'Popular" because they were Trendy...They were popular because they made Groundbreaking and Innovative Music.

    The Roots is Great...but they're No where near Outkast and their Accomplishments
    but to a True "Hip Hop Head" i could see why you would feel that way...but I Welcome Progression and pushing the Envelope and true Originality.
    Even today, Outkast's style and Production techniques is still reflected in today's music. That's how ahead of their time they were.

    Yes, you did cause my point is grammys don't matter at all. Period. R&b section or what the ? ever. If y'all not willing to use grammys when Eminem or macklemore walk home with 20 of them ? don't use them when the artist you stan over walks home with them. If y'all going to debate do it like hip hop heads not like them teen white boys on facebook

    The Roots
    The roots have done more for hip hop in more eras than outkast ever would. Yes an album like ATLiens could go head to head with any roots album and beat it based on your opinion. But the roots from a content, live musicianship, longevity, and consistent quality albums over the years is why i like them more overall.

    Since 2008 the roots have continued to drop dope ass ? from How I Got over to UnDun to And then you shoot your cousin. Where the ? has outkast been. Longevity and adapting in hip hop is hard to do. Outkast hasn't put out ? in years as a group. The roots continue to innovate and put on album after album still in this current era.
