well, maybe not the GREATEST(Sam Cooke's "Change Gon Come" will always have that title)... but it's damn sure one of my personal favorites, and a lot of other peoples as well. Outkast is respected far and wide as hip hop's greatest duo. (some would argue that Mobb Deep holds that title, I would tell those ppl 2 go 2 sleep). Throughout their 15 year career, 'Kast has been known and respected for their willingness to experiment with different sounds. On their 3rd album, Aquemini, Outkast along with Cee Lo, Erykah Badu, and Big Rube, fused hip hop, soul, and poetry to create an audio masterpiece. "Liberation" is a poetic piece of soul, to call it a song wouldnt do it justice. It's 8 minutes and some change that relates to the human struggle, regardless of race, region,or gender. It's that relateability that makes this song so loved by so many. Without further adue (one of) the greatest songs EVER
