Not everyone might get that their music is deaper than just "Hey Ya..." booty shake, play the song till its dead, but their is a huge group of people that listen for more than the pop in the Outkast. That places them as solidly rated, in my opinion, cause they are multi-dimensional, and I think fully appreciated . A similar thing can be said about the Beatles... Its just that so much has been said about The Beatles that it's just head-explode awful... and one feels the urge to call them overrated.

Good point. I suppose I am thinking of what they're more typically lauded for and by whom, and I fear that that may misrepresent their music to a degree.
