While searching through a dictionary, Big Boi and André 3000 came across the word "outcast" and decided this would be a perfect group name, for at the time the hip hop industry was dominated by East Coast and West Coast rappers who saw southern rappers as outcasts. They simply changed the "c" in the word into a "k".

Outkast's members are André "André 3000" Benjamin (formerly known as "Dre") and Antwan "Big Boi" Patton, both from Atlanta.

OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below album was named diamond after it sold more than 10,000,000 records in the US.
