Outkast (1998)
“Atlanta at its best. Andre and Big Boi will go down as one of the best duos. Their charisma and lyrical ability put them on top for me. One of the main themes I took out of this album is growing up in the hood without glamorizing it. Stories of drug addiction, artificial reality (way ahead of its time), and having to be the drug dealer on the block to provide for your family/friends. The beats are so detailed. Some relaxed others are bangers. If you want to hear a song with mind-blowing versatility listen to Rosa Parks please. Andre’s delivery is so complex while sounding smooth. His self-aware lyrics make him one of the greatest rappers ever. Some of the cuts on that back end of the album are not excellent. But don’t let that keep you from listening to this. There are moments with fun bangers, others have more psychedelic songs. It’s a mixed bag of genius.”
