Examples of outkast in a Sentence

1. Jermaine Dupri:

   It makes things feel much more massive than times prior. If Kris Kross would've come out in this era and been as popular as they were, people would think Kris Kross was Drake. That's how big they were, if OutKast would've come out now -- man, they would be perceived as The Beatles.

2. Mack Williams:

   Luda or T.I. or Jermaine Dupri have all done a lot for the Atlanta music scene... but nobody unites Atlanta like Outkast, if the image of these Confederate( generals and president) is divisive, I can't think of anything that would unite us like Outkast.
