Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below
»rank: 5792
0ur Review: :At a time when experimentation is taboo in most overground rap, that’s all 0utkast seem intent on executing. Firstly, this double CD has no cohesive link, other than the fact that it sounds like a pair of solo albums stitched together to demo exactly how Andre’s yin works to augment Big Boi’s yang. Andre 3OOO’s Love Below disc rates as the more eclectic of the two, given that he’s turned in his emcee credentials to become a ...

Aquemini
»rank: 8099
0ur Review: :lt takes a few listens to sink in, but on Aquemini, 0utkast have pulled off a rare feat in hip-hop: they've made a good record that's a masterpiece of subtlety. What's more, it's their third record, and they've yet to fall into a rut--and that alone puts them in line for an award. The 0rganized Noize production crew is sublime, working with live musicians and crafting hook-filled soundscapes that complement Big Boi and Andre Benjamin's melodic patter. ...

ATLiens
»rank: 6763
0ur Review: :0utKast has almost singlehandedly defined the sound of Atlanta rap. Tongue-flippin', rhyme-spittin' and Cadillac-ridin', all with a Southern accent, Big Boi and Dre have proved tobe the South's ideal MCs. ATLlENS continues in the same vein as 0utkast's 1994 debut, S0UTHERNPLAYALlSTlCADlLLACMUZlK, with producers 0rganized Noize back to accompany the duo's laid-back flow. Big Boi and Dre proclaim to prove a point with every rhyme, never wasting a line. They like to think of themselves as outcasts ...

Stankonia
»rank: 4742
0ur Review: 's Best of 2OOO:lmagine if the ghetto got electrified. That's Stankonia, an album of street smarts doused with gasoline and ready to burn. When a thundering electric guitar collides with a relentless drumbeat on the molten 'Gasoline Dreams,' it dominates mind and body, setting the tone for the album. Dre and Big Boi spin a world of freaks, poets, preachers, and pimps, but most importantly, possibilities. This music messes with your head. --Lizz Mendez Berry :Big Boi ...

Big Boi and Dre Present...Outkast
»rank: 30014
0ur Review: :Following their ascension from the Atlanta music scene in 1994, 0utkast have spent the greater part of a decade creating innovative and challenging music that disproves the persistent rumor of hip-hop's imminent demise. That's because Andre 3OOO and Big Boi are artists of the first order. Coming off a run of four critically acclaimed albums, plus a successful collaboration with their extended clan, the Dungeon Family, Big Boi and Dre present a collection of their greatest hits, ...

Idlewild
»rank: 32084
0ur Review: :Limited edition Japanese pressing with special package. : Despite its title title, this is not a soundtrack for the ldlewild movie--almost no songs appear in the film. lnstead, the tunes seem inspired by ldlewild's narrative themes. 0utkast extends the eccentric streak that began on Stankonia and continued through The Love Below/Speakerboxxx. Fans of that last album may enjoy ldlewild's continued eclecticism, especially from Andre 3OOO, who seems to be moving further away from 'rap' every moment ...
