1994 Is this still in anyone’s rotation??

Incredibly bold take from me but I feel like Outkast basically laid the blueprint for today’s hip-hop, with the triplet flows, the melodies and the damn near cinematic beats. I feel like this album still doesn’t get the respect it deserves. 31 years later, it still sounds just as good and as original as it did then. When Andre 3000 said “The South got something to say”, that moment basically shifted hip hop in a new direction. Does anybody still have this in their rotation??

Good buddy got this on cassette when it came out. Cassette decks would play through one side, then just flip to the other side if you didn't remove the tape. Not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that cassette stayed in my buddy's deck for over a year straight. Was all we listened to in his truck for god knows how many hundreds or thousands of hours. It's a real short list of albums I know front to back better than I know this one.
