Big Boi and Dre Present... Outkast

Although the compilation encompasses several hit songs from the duo, Big Boi and André 3000 don't consider it to be a "greatest hits" or "best-of" release.{{Cite web |last=Reid |first=Shaheem |date=December 19, 2001 |title=Outkast's New Album Is Not A Greatest-Hits LP, Got It? |url=https://www.mtv.com/news/bpodso/outkasts-new-album-is-not-a-greatest-hits-lp-got-it |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230817205511/https://www.mtv.com/news/bpodso/outkasts-new-album-is-not-a-greatest-hits-lp-got-it |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 17, 2023 |access-date=August 17, 2023 |website=MTV |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Cowie |first=Del |date=March 1, 2002 |title=Big Boi & Dre Present... Outkast |url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/outkast-big_boi_dre_present_outkast |access-date=August 17, 2023 |website=Exclaim! |language=en}} Big Boi described the album as "more like a refresher course… summer school on Outkast 101", and stated "[we're] just letting all the fans that went and got Stankonia know that there were three albums that came out before that. We picked some of the favourite songs from all the albums [for the compilation]." André added "after the Stankonia album, we gained a lot of new fans. They didn't know about Southernplayalistic, ATLiens, Aquemini. We had to give them the beginning {{sic}} to let them know where we're at right now".

The title track from ATLiens is mentioned as being included on the compilation in the essay contained in the booklet, but is not actually featured (it is assumed it was dropped at a late stage of the album's production).
