Singles are the pinnacle of this genre.

The next level. Great stuff. Lyrics and beats are top of the line, and it feels more... I dunno, cohesive? Than their previous albums.

Took hip-hop in a totally new and creative direction. Dre and Big Boi were so different, yet gelled well at the time. Outkast were rolling at this time...

A staple hip-hop album. The unique yet still strong flows both Andre and Big Boi bring to the table compliment each other like no other. B.O.B. is one of the best hip-hop songs ever made. Flavored by the southern ATL, Outkast made hip-hop their own, THEY NEED TO COME BACK!

B.O.B. is probably the pinnacle of hip-hop. its like a shooting star that comes around every 70 years, a spontaneous combustion of creativity, frustration, and passion. hip-hop started so that this song could be made. ms. jackson is like a 50s love song told by 21st century southern gangstas, timelessly poetic. and we luv deez hoez is probably going to be my wedding song. classic album of the best southern rap has to offer infused with mass amounts of funk

Quirky. Offbeat. Unusual. Tough. This isn't your typical hip-hop. This is where Prince meets crunk. The Prince takes weight on "so fresh, so clean" where the delivery is so smoooooove and Prince's naughty side shows on "I'll call before i come". And the funk on "ms. jackson" is NASTY with those slick synths and regurgitating loops. Almost sounds like a Nate Dogg groove on "spaghetti junction" at the chorus. But "bombs over baghdad" is THA MASTERPIECE. Whippin' rhymes at breakneck pace with a shuffling backing beat, then those chick vocals at the chorus...Best outkast tune ever. This shoulda blowed up radio. i love the extended denouement with about 1:30 left. #11 of 24 tracks, it might've been better to set this one further down as the rest of stank can't match the energy as songs like "we love deez hoez" and "gangsta sh|t" are fun but can't compare. Only negative: the skits are mostly unnecessary. Otherwise, outkast in the 2000s is like Prince in the 80s -- a visionary artist working outside of pop's mold but yet somehow still popular.

Ha ha ha ha. We luv deez hoes. Ha ha ha ha. We luv deez hoes.

This album gets unfairly labeled as a two/three hit wonder. First off, two of those three songs individually are greater than some artists entire discographies. Secondly, there are some majorly overlooked tracks on this album. B Real is on fire on Xplosion. Gasoline Dreams is one of Outkast's hardest tracks they've ever produced. Humble Mumble could have been a hit single on Sir Lucious Left Foot. Sure, there is a little filler, and the comedy skits aren't the funniest, but since when are skits on rap albums ever funny? It's not just one of Outkast's best, but one of the best hip hop albums in history.

I've heard this album 3 times now, and it really doesn't flow very nicely :S, three good songs, and the rest is a bit simple. B.O.B. is brilliant though.

outkasts older albums are better(Aquemeni) :).
