So I pull out the long version of Erotic City and it struck me how this song really hasnt aged at all. Then I relaized that it is half of what Outkast does. So much so that they ought to have to pay Prince royalties.

There is a difference between being influenced and borrowing heavily. Prince is a legend; Outkast is not.

Now that is funny! If by all the instruments you mean the MPC 3000, then yep. They do.
They hire musicians for the other parts.

That would be like me saying I picked up an old George Duke album and realized that this is what Prince has been doing his last 5 CDs.

at the rock hall of fame big said: he said the f word in erotic city like 17 times
