Big Boi and Dre Present… Outkast is a compilation album by the American hip hop duo Outkast . Released by LaFace Records and Arista Records on December 4, 2001, the album peaked at number 18 on the Billboard 200 chart and is certified Platinum by the RIAA.
Content
The compilation consists of five songs from Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik , one from ATLiens , and three each from Aquemini and Stankonia . There are four new tracks, including three new songs: "Funkin' Around" (featuring Sleepy Brown ), "The Whole World" (featuring Killer Mike ), and "Movin' Cool (The After Party)" (featuring Joi ). The tracks "Ain't No Thang", "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik", "Aquemini", "Git Up, Git Out", "Ms. Jackson", "Rosa Parks", "SpottieOttieDopaliscious", and "B.O.B." differ from the album versions.
Although the compilation encompasses several hit songs from the duo, Big Boi and André don't consider it to be a " greatest hits " or "best-of" release. [1] [2] Big Boi described the album as "more like a refresher course… summer school on Outkast 101," and stated "[we're] just letting all the fans that went and got Stankonia know that there were three albums that came out before that. We picked some of the favorite songs from all the albums [for the compilation]." André added "after the Stankonia album, we gained a lot of new fans. They didn’t know about Southernplayalistic , ATLiens , Aquemini . We had to give them the beginning [ sic ] to let them know where we're at right now." [1]
The title track from ATLiens is mentioned as being included on the compilation in the essay contained in the booklet, but is not actually featured (it is assumed it was dropped at a late stage of the album's production); however, ATLiens is included on the New Zealand release of the album.
