Music Banter - View Single Post - What kind of Jazz is this, and can you recommend me some more like it?

I am not familiar with this artist so I looked it up on allmusic.

I'd post the links but I need to have 15 posts or more before the forum will allow me to do that.

Looking up artists and albums on allmusic can usually tell you what type of music it is. I was getting into jazz and once I found albums I liked I looked them up on there and found it was Hard Bop that I liked so I knew what to look for when buying more jazz.

According to allmusic Outkast is...

Genre is RAP, R&B, Pop/rock

Style is Alternate Rap, Dirty South, Southern Rap, Contemporary R&B, Pop

So it would seem Outkast is not Jazz at all.
