I remember watching that Source Awards when he made that statement. Some of the crowd were booing when they won the award which is why he said it. It took hip hop a minute to respect Outkast. Well I should say East Coast Hip Hop. The East coast vs West coast battle was still going on strong and both sides weren't ready to deal with the music revolution coming from the south which Outkast represented. The 90s were a crazy time in Hip Hop. But by the time Aquemeni came out they had earned their respect and that album just solidified their status.

The article is wrong though. While the night made the East coast vs West coast rivalry worse, it didn't start it. A rapper named Tim Dogg making a song called Fk Compton did. There was already tension but that really started the simmering.
