*** OutKast, “SOUTHERNPLAYALISTICADDILLACMUZIK,” LaFace. This rap duo’s debut album serves up hip-hop Southern style, with laid-back grooves flavored with ‘70s funk. Their sauntering, hard-core tales of the ‘hood bristle with clever humor and sharp insights rather than rage. The best cut is the sobering “Git Up, Git Out,” whose blunt message is: Put down that joint and do something productive.

New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
