Man...
Not one dude in here is playing Run DMC, and it's cool to keep history in perspective, but you know Outkast makes doper music.
Really, just how short was their reign on top? If Run DMC was so hot how come time passed them by so quick, and people latched on to Rakim, KRS, and so many other artists from that era?
Because they didn't make dope music. They're somewhat praised because they shifted the sound from largely sampling, but everything else in comparison to Outkast is...:x
I also feel like LL is more legendary than Run DMC. Where LL has lasted for decades, and is currently putting out material.
Run DMC did the rock thing, but Outkast also put the live band into hip hop, that soulful ****.

I mean if we're going off the history angle, then everyone should have Dr. J over Michael Jordan for the way he revolutionized basketball. He become a player that many wanted to pattern their game after.
But if you ask who is better between Dr. J and Jordan, most people will end up telling you Mike.
Dre's flow changed the way a lot of rappers do it now. This is also the case with him now being very inconsistent. Although I can say Dre and Big Boi were never complacent on the mic.
Not one artist today is patterning their style off of Run DMC. Their legacy doesn't compare to what Outkast left behind in terms of the actual music.
I'm talking musically over everything else, and Outkast wins it with no contest.
Your last question lacks logic. Do you think Run DMC influenced Cali cats more than Snoop and Dre? You do understand that it goes both ways, right?
Still waiting to hear from you how Outkast was/is a regional phenomenon, btw.
No, my last question was a rhetorical question of how influence can be different and based on the person or region.
Gipp was in Dungeon Family. Gipp is from the south. Of course Outkast would be more influential to him. Outkast wasn't influential to New York or New York rap, because New York had Tribe, De La, Jungle Brothers.... Did you forget the 95' Source Awards? People in New York listened to Outkast, that doesn't mean they were influential, because they always sort of had their own lane.
Rap wouldn't be what it is now, because of Run DMC...period. Run DMC isn't my favorite group. Run DMC isn't the most lyrical group. But to negate what they did for the culture shows you have no knowledge of it.
It doesn't matter if you don't like Michael Jordan because you were a Detroit fan, basketball is partially what it is because of Jordan. It would be disrespectful to talk about modern day basketball without talking about Magic, Bird or Jordan.
People are basing this topic on who they like better or who they listened to as if they have no clue what influential means, because they don't. Most people have no clue what Run DMC did.
When young people do that it's disgraceful, because it's how our culture gets rewritten or whitewashed. It's like a 14 year old saying Drake is better than Nas, why, because Drake is what they currently know.
That's why I always say rap fans are stupid. There is a lack of knowledge and ignorance to the history. Nobody listens to what came before them. But someone in to rock will listen to Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin and the Rolling Stones and treat them with reverence. Rap fans, are just ****** stupid.
I
OutKast is the better group but Run DMC was more influential
Without run-DMC
There would be no outkast
I don't care what anybody says
Oh and their last good album was aquemini
Everything else has been trash
I know this ain't popular opinion but I don't care
Yall people getting beside yall selves
This the exact reason hip hop is where it is now
We always throwing the ones who helped build it to the way side
Even dre and big boi would say they can't even be put in the same category
I swear man yall new generations suck *** when it comes to rap
True
OutKast is the better group but Run DMC was more influential
Run DMC in terms of being influential
OutKast in terms of what i like to hear
And while I'm at it
Tribe Called Quest>>>>OutKast.
Yeah, I said it.
And while I'm at it
Tribe Called Quest>>>>OutKast.
Yeah, I said it.
You off yo head.
Clearly!ATCQ is definitely better
This.You off yo head.
This is probably one of the dumbest opinions I've ever read on here.This.
Tribe ain't ******* with Outkast.
Y'all trippin, and to go album for album on for their first four, there's not one album ATCQ made that's on par with Aquemini.
Peace my brother, peace this, peace that...
This is probably one of the dumbest opinions I've ever read on here.
