GUY IS A SLUT Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Solid album! Well two albums really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 to be honest, it kind of makes me wish they'd work together again. the best moments from each disc are brilliant (both "Spread" and "Ghetto Musick" sit among my favorite songs right now), but neither of them can sustain it for a full album, especially andre and his staggering 79 minute (!) disc. still pretty damn good though. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf_ucsd Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I know it's easier for me to think of these albums separately, an R&B album and a rap album. I agree with you, Tom, and I hope Andre has this out of his system and they can start working as a tandem again and not using OutKast as a markting vehicle of two solo projects.

GUY IS A SLUT Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 Ghettomusick struck me as a really solid song. But I think Andre's album is a little on the too long side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Noteburg Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I like "Hey Ya" and "The Way you move"... So maybe one day I'll find the time to listen to the album :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice_smk Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I liked the Love Below a lot more than Speakerboxxx, being a huge fan of rap music, The Love Below was so refreshing, completely stunning. Songs like "Spread" "A day in the life of Benjamin Andre" "Take off your cool" "Prototype" and "She's Alive", it totally transcends the genre of rap music and takes it to amazing places. BTW, Bowtie was my favorite song from Speakerboxxx, and I'm happy to say that's the next single, along with prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Love Below is pretty much a pop record. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice_smk Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Well, Speakerboxxx is good, but it has a lot of what is wrong with hip hop today. Artists like 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Nelly, Chingy, Eastide Boys, Baby, Ying Yang Twins, they all really suck and are considered rap. When I talk about rap, I'm talking more like Talib Kweli and a bunch of other artists you've never heard of, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an R&B album by a rap artist. If you judge it in terms of a "rap" or "hip-hop" album then yes, it's revolutionary. But it's a mistake to think of The Love Below as a rap album just because an OutKast member made it: The album is an R&B album, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talib Kweli is pretty well known. It's probably best to assume that somebody who knows about hip hop is familiar with him than the other way around.

Professor Peedston Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 i'm interested to see who the other artists that i've never heard of are. (and yes, i am familiar with talib kweli) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
