Outkast - ATLiens

About ATLiens by Outkast Album

ATLiens is the second studio album by American hip-hop duo OutKast, released on August 27, 1996, by LaFace Records. The duo sought to improve on their 1994 debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and gain respect for their burgeoning Southern hip-hop scene. ATLiens has been listed by several magazines and critics as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. OutKast recorded ATLiens in sessions at several Atlanta studiosโ€”Bosstown Recording Studios, Doppler Recording Studios, PatchWerk Recording Studio, Purple Dragon Studios, and Studio LaCoCoโ€”as well as Chung King Recording Studio and Sound On Sound Recording in New York City. The record features outer space-inspired production sounds, with Outkast and producers Organized Noize incorporating elements of dub, reggae, and gospel into the compositions. Several songs feature the duo's first attempts at producing music by themselves. Lyrically, the group discusses a wide range of topics including urban life as hustlers, existential introspection, and extraterrestrial life. Its title is a portmanteau of "ATL" (an abbreviation of Atlanta, Georgia) and "aliens", which has been interpreted by critics as a commentary about the feeling of being isolated from American culture. ATLiens debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, and it sold nearly 350,000 copies in its first two weeks of release. The album was very well received by music critics upon its release, who praised the record's lyrical content. It has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipments of two million copies in the United States. The album spawned the singles "Elevators (Me & You)", "ATLiens", and "Jazzy Belle" before its release.

A must buy and the price is right:) I bought the tape version back in 1996 and happy to have a digital copy now. Enjoy.

- Rap needs you

Hands down if you look at all the music out they have been the most influential and lyrical artist to date (where are you guys at).

- Where is my music

I downloaded many albums and after a while they disappeared from my phone it says I paid for them but the songs are no longer available for listening or downloading, what the heck is going on?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM FROM iTunes

It is not the full album. Don't waste your money purchasing on iTunes. One critical song is missing from the line up. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS FROM iTunes. I'm actually surprised, they took down all the reviews citing that. I will be writing to their corporate office.

I actually still have my original copy of this cd purchased at the mall in August 1996. One of my favorite cd's from my high school years.

This album sets the bar for ALL rap, period. Every song on this album is classic, no filler. The beats and bars are all still on point even though the album was released way back in 1996. There may not be a better all-around hip-hop album ever released. Ive listened to it hundreds of times and honestly it just gets better. Buy the album, you wont be dissappointed.
