as the great Bomani Jones said this week talking about a potential Outkast and Tribe Versus ”let me tell you who really really really really loves Tribe and really really has a lot to do with the venerated place they have in hip hop and that is white folks”

Kind of weird to make it a racial thing tbh - especially considering the same could be said about Outkast - but why even say it?
edit: what's ironic is we probably would have not had Andre 3000 (or the great Kanye) without Tribe

What about all of the African-American artists they inspired? Kind of a lame take you are pushing here.
Tribe was a seriously critically acclaimed rap group at the time when the mainstream critic houses who would write and talk about Rap was almost exclusively white. I like tribe a lot but to put them over outkast continues the same sort of critical takes from 2000s era pitchfork/rolling stone

Are you white?
no but relatively light skinned latino so I do get the benefit of appearing more like that. I don't think it really matters. If you don't get what I am saying it is what it is.

Bomani is lowkey a pompous douchebag. I used to love the guy, but he is so far up his own ass these days that it's insufferable.
White people love Outkast, and basically everyone that posts here is white. We're not comparing ATCQ to like Dipset or something.

eh I still like him a lot but I get why you say that

Yeah I don't think it really matters. Half of my family is hispanic. Half isn't. I guess my opinion is worthless considering I am a mutt. What's ironic though is I was introduced to ATCQ by a black friend of mine who was a real hip-hop head. I learned about Outkast in 2000 from my very white friend in high school. I guess what I'm trying to say is you wouldn't have had Outkast without Tribe. Making it about race is extremely lame though. This is like saying other races can't comment or have opinions on psychedelic music because it predominantly features non-black musicians. I think this board in general is probably a poor reflection of what most people are listening to.

ok this is a very good response. Point well taken.

Just gonna tell my Bomani story real quick, like anyone cares lol. Didn't happen to me, but I was so bewildered by it that I blocked him.
A few months ago, a bunch of NFL players, including a lot of super famous ones like Patrick Mahomes, the face of the NFL, made a video addressing the league concerning BLM. Bomani tweeted the video and captioned it with "strong". Some guy, a fan of his, replied "powerful". Bomani then quote-tweeted that reply and said "we really gotta get people a thesaurus. People use words too willy nilly."
Powerful is literally a synonym for strong. If you look up strong in a thesaurus, powerful is probably the first thing listed. The guy was just agreeing with him, and he blew him up to his whole timeline and clowned on him for using too strong (or powerful) of a word, which btw, powerful was completely apt. Those players used their visibility and power to force the NFL to change their public stance on the BLM movement. Bomani is so used to being the smartest guy in the room at ESPN, of all places, that he's now openly being a dick to a fan for agreeing with him. Really gross behavior, imo.
And while I disagree with fandp's opinions on a lot of stuff, I have no doubt that they are his opinions. I don't think he is gatekeeping on behalf of white music critics from the 90s and 2000s. I don't listen to much Tribe, but the fact that 92.3 FM are actually doing a Verzuz of ATCQ and Outkast does count for something:
That's a show which, by definition, has enough standing in the hip-hop world for both of those acts to sign on, so idk. Seems like a pretty reasonable thing for him to say that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with racial bias.
I'm genuinely gonna watch the Verzuz with an open mind, and maybe it'll help get me more into Tribe. Stankonia is the first CD I bought myself, though, so the nostalgia may be too strong.
Tribe is closer to the level of De La Soul than they are to Outkast. Then again Dela are underrated as fuck.
Andre and Big Boi are lightyears better on the mic than tip and phife, and the highs of outkasts highs much higher than tribes.
This is basically how I feel about it. Tribe is great but Outkast is another level. Also, I like Bomani, but he can definitely be a dick. He has some good opinions on music, other than him saying Sade can't "sing" like on a technical level.
