Be honest with yourself, nothing on The White Album slaps as hard as “Elevators.” This is the same self-realization that comedian, Ron Funches, forced on Twitter, creating a social media frenzy. 

Earlier this week, Funches offered some advice to humanitarians that started with them taking an objective look at one of music’s most popular bands.

When society admits OutKast is better than The Beatles then we can truly start healing.

“When society admits OutKast is better than The Beatles then we can truly start healing,” Funches wrote.

Not only did this atomic bomb of a tweet start World War III on the timeline, but it also happened across the ATLiens’ desks.

Although the group’s Twitter account acknowledged the chaos, it’s unlikely the Big Boi or Andre 3000 are actually concerned with the crumbling world around them. On Wednesday, Big Boi posted a video of him introducing his grandson, Antwan André Patton III, to the world.

“Look at my calve muscles,” the 46-year-old said. “Still can chase after the chil’ren. Plan your life accordingly.”

3 Stacks, on the other hand, is a wondering, rich nomad. It’s likely that he hasn’t touched a phone in days. Instead, he’s probably in some obscure city, wearing overalls, and playing a weird-looking flute—or some other woodwind—for unsuspecting fans.

Beatles stole southern Black and added it to British white. Outkast stole Mars and added it to southern urban Black. Outkast wins.

Next.

OutKast could write and perform "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" but the Beatles could never write or perform "SpottieOttieDopalicious" https://t.co/fkAiKoZn7D

Comparing Outkast to the Beatles isn’t fair. Outkast didn’t have 30 years worth of Blues artists music to steal from uncredited. https://t.co/2IwOh51DGn

Hey Jude is considered one of the "best songs ever" by old white people but the last four minutes are this and they have the nerve to call Playboi Carti out for being repititve 💀😭
