Again, totally agree the music was great. Breath of fresh air in a genre that was spinning it's wheels at the time. I just don't see how that is a movie.
I vote for Outkast in Space if they have to make a movie. Gotta take off.
The cast of characters surrounding Outkast during their early days includes Killer Mike, Cee-Lo, Big Gipp, Joi, Rico Wade, Sleepy Brown and eventually people like Pimp C, Bun B and literally anyone else you want to include in the South. It would start with them living in shit-hole East Point, Atlanta, during the pre-Olympics time in Atlanta. You've got them releasing this crazy new album (Southernplayalistic...) and subsequently getting booed at The Source awards ("The Souths got something to say..."). Then you get their next years of insanely great music and rise to stardom, the creation of Stankonia studios, the people they discovered and helped (Janelle Monae for example) and the dissolution of the band at their most famous point.
This is an incredibly stupid debate but there is absolutely enough there for an Outkast movie.
edit: I meant to say you could use that movie to shoehorn in how influential Magic City is. So yea, include that too.
I hope this hip-hop biopic shit dies a quick death. Am I the only one who has no interest in seeing dramatic reinterpretations of history? Throw me an Outkast bio pic with a buncha goons acting as legends -- meh.
Give me a goddamn documentary and I'll pay hundreds!!!! There is a TREASURE TROVE of amazing Outkast live and studio footage. Imagine this clip fully restored and remastered???!??
Anyway, this new Big Grams track is goddamn dope and I can't wait for the tour!
Definitely. What I always say is every single person in my high school could probably still to this day quote all of Outkast lyrics. Everyone loves Outkast. I think even more than the music it brought people together, because that was the one thing everyone had in common. I can't think of another group in my lifetime that is as universally loved.
I remember Outkast. They were equally loved across my campus as much as Lil Flip and Petey Pablo. I remember High School.
I bet EVERY single person that went to my high school can recite every lyric from every Nelly album and can probably quote all of his lines from the hit film, "The Longest Yard".

Yeah, I remember Nelly.
Nelly is garbage.
I'm not even a big fan of Nelly, but Country Grammar is a good album

Be that as it may, good thing I had on gym shorts while reading your post cus you were really taking me for a stretch.

Having cameos by other ATL artists does not make a movie. The only theatrical part of your pitch is them getting booed and going on to become successes regardless. That's a scene and a montage at best. Not a full movie.
Also here's the problem with the cameos you pitched. Other than Cee Lo, general audiences have no idea who anyone you just mentioned is. Straight Outta Comptons cameos worked because everyone knows who Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Eminem and 50 in the credits, ect. are. They are mega stars who have sold a ton of albums. The average guy walking down the street does not know who Sleepy Brown is and will not go see a movie because of a cameo appearance.
But I'll tell you what, if Outkast in Space gets made I will put all the acts you just mentioned and more in the movie. Killer Mike in the cantina scene rapping with some crazy aliens as his backup band will sell some tickets and a soundtrack.

Again, have you seen 8 Mile? The whole thing revolved purely around the appeal of the artist. The drama element was manufactured and pretty run of the mill.
Also, continually bringing up "Outkast in Space" isn't actually going to make the idea funny.

8 mile was not a biopic on the life and career of Eminem. If you want to make a movie loosely based on Outkast with fictional characters and fabricated plot points, that's doable. But a straight up movie about their career isnt.
Outkast in Space is an awesome idea. Quit hating because you didn't think of it first.

I saw 8 Mile. I'm going to see Compton. I would go see an Outkast movie. I enjoy rap music. I would not go see a movie about any rap act that has become relevant since the 2000's, though, cept for maybe Kanye................
Also, whoever said that it changed music in the south is correct. Before that, we just listened to southern rap that had beats, like Three Six, which I still have enjoy from time to time, but they weren't saying anything, really.

Who cares if no one knows who Big Gipp is though? Alan Touring wasn't a well-known figure but The Imitation Game is still a great movie.
You can make a movie out of literally ANYTHING. I feel like you're just being intentionally antagonistic at this point. Outkast started as two friends in East Point rapping in school cafeterias and Rico Wade's mom's basement. They eventually put out hugely influential and successful albums, led the way for a whole new style of hip hop and became inspiring figures for the whole city of Atlanta. There was some conflict along the way but they overcame. The band didn't last but they're friends forever. Boom. There's a movie.

This made me think of this gem that was serious radio play in New Orleans...
Like anyone (not from New Orleans) knows where Marrero is. I, for one am grateful for OutKast.
I'm a fan of Big Boi and Phantogram but not real excited for this. The single was just alright for me - only slightly better than those Vicious Lies tracks which were kinda stale imo.
The full release is up on Spotify now. That track with Run the Jewels tho, holy shit.
Whole album is great... minus that skrillex collabo at the end
i liked the skrillex track, but i like skrillex. i felt like the production was actually pretty restrained, after reading a few negative comments about the track I was expecting "Wild For The Night", but all the beats are pretty low key.
