Publisher Synopsis
An OutKast Reader is a book whose time has come. Regina Bradley has convened an impressive collective of contributors for a intellectual cypher on one of the most important groups hip hop has ever heard. This is a necessary collection, one that gives proper attention to OutKast as artists, as southerners, and as organic intellectuals of the highest order. This brilliant compilation reminds us yet again of OutKast's famous statement that 'the South has something to say.' It speaks volumes and is loud and clear in amplifying and clarifying the message and meaning of this legendary group through revealing analysis across this superb body of essays. The thematic threads running through it-Afrofuturism, Atlanta as a Black Mecca and musical epicenter, film, and funk-are quite engaging and do an outstanding job of putting OutKast in critical perspective while explaining the profound cultural impact and significance of the group and why its legacy is exceptional, important, and lasting.
