It's an OutKast album though. But yeah I guess.


The very reason that album came out as it did (double disc) was because Andre and Big Boi had disparate visions of how they wanted their music to sound. That is clear proof, if any is needed that Andre 3000 is a GOAT. Now, even if he DID bounce ideas of Big Boi, the way HE rapped and the personality that he showed made him stand apart. Plus, his features over the years have been stellar.

Least we forget, Outkast almost single handedly gave the South credibility as a hip-hop scene. Before them, it was New York and the West Coast really. Tell me one act from the south before these guys? That alone is hella dope. Their style has hardly been copied (if so, unsuccessfully). Who else could name their album southernplayalisticadillacmuzik?!!! C'mon man, thats jus off the chain.

oh, heard this little nugget off Love Below the other day

"I take yall diss as endearment - I love it when I hear it
Maybe words offensive - free speech I don't fear it
Maybe music can take us to a place so atmospheric
Beyond our greatest imagination, illuminatin' experience
If we open our ears and close our inhibitions, it's clear"
