Simply...Classic October 2, 2005
What do you expect its the best of outkast? All the songs are hot and the three new songs "Funkin Around" ,"The whole World" , and "After party" are all amazing.
Greatest, greatest hits July 24, 2005
Even the biggest OutKast fans should buy this for the three new tracks, "Funkin' Around", "The Whole World" and "Moving Cool (The After Party). All three are great, they probably could have put together some more material and make a full album in between Stankonia and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. For new listeners, this is definitely the best way to introduce yourself to OutKast, because it has most of their classic tracks from their first four album, "Southerplayalisticadillacmuzik", "ATLiens", "Aquemini", and "Stankonia".
The Greatest Hits before The Love Below/Speakerboxx February 22, 2005

"Greatest Hits" from Outkast includes all of the best songs from the Atlanta boys, spanning from 1994 to 2001. In those seven years, the boys released a lot of hit songs that have thwated the rumors that hip hop music was in a decline. This is a good album to pick up for the hits.
If you want their most successful singles and hits, this is the album to pick up. Everything from "Players Ball" to "The Whole World", their newest single (at the time), is included. The songs are not in chronological order, so it's hard to track the evolution of this wonderful hip-hop duo, but you can definitely tell them trying new, challening things in their evolution from "Players Ball" to "The Whole World". It goes from raw to progressive, but the rhymes and rhythm never flounder.
Some of the biggest hits and most well known songs that are included are "Ms. Jackson", "Rosa Parks", "So Fresh and So Clean", "B.O.B.", and the two songs mentioned above. There are other great songs included, but unfortunately album tracks and lesser-known singles were not included. As great (and some might argue better) as these songs are, the material included on the album and the title ("Greatest Hits") help it avoid any deduction of points.
Another refreshing thing about this album is how Dre and Big Boi are on the same page. That seems to disappear on "Love Below/Speakerboxx". I feel that they are stronger when they are on the same page. Also this album lacks the glossy, over the top feel that their newest album has. I feel that "Greatest Hits" shows Outkast evolving to their prime, "Love Below/Speakerboxx" with them on top, and now their slow descent. Hopefully I'm wrong, because I love their music, and think hip-hop could benefit from their influence. But after listening to "Greatest Hits", you can't help but think they could get better than this. Not even "Love Below/Speakerboxx" is on the same plateau. A hip-hop classic and a must to any diverse music collection.
the best outkast cd eva!! January 17, 2005

First of all, Outkast is really talented. Both Big Boi and Andre 3000 are OHSO good at rapping, singing, writing songs using their views in them (B.O.B, Rosa Parks...). However, this is (by far) my favorite Outkast cd. They had a lot of hits on that cd...I loved Intro, Funkin' Around, Ain't No Thang, So fresh so clean, Rosa Parks, The Whole World, Aquemini, B.O.B, and Ms. Jackson. This cd has SUCH great songs on it and I REALLY recommend buying it.
