Funniest thing is... it will still be a year until some people appreciate what they were trying to do on these albums.

Good news, well deserved. Best album of 2003 imo. At last somebody brought some originality back into the hip-hop mainstream.

Although I don't really like it, I think it's well deserved, because it was definitely one of the most creative albums last year.

Apart from Andre's singing skills there's really nuthin bad about it. "Speakerboxx" is a tight hiphop album and "The Love Below" is fresh and creative, so I think they really deserve it

Well i think the album(s) is/are mad dope, neither are complete albums like Outkasts first three albums b4 Stankonia.  Still, they are pushing the boundaries more than ever and i cant see Hey Ya slowing down ever, they are playing that sit everywhere now, grandmas and little kids even love that song/.   Too bad the rest of Andres album couldnt have more upbeat songs like that..........

And to me, Outkasts latest is a touch disappointing if only because i like to hear ANDRE RAP, and he only does on two songs.  Its like Commons last cd, one of my top mcs changes up their style and doesnt rip the mic anymore and that pisses me off.  Oh well, hopefully outkast bring it back togeter and Andre starts rapping again cuz he i sone of the beat mcs of all time

The other day I was listening to the radio and the DJ was mixing some new commercial garbage and all the sudden he plays "Atliens" by Outkast and Big Boi kicks in with "It's the M I crooked letter, ain't no one better" and it hits me just how talented these 2 emcees are. They both easily could be included in being top 20 emcees of all time in the same group. I think Outkast will go down as the greatest rap group ever.

after listening to it again and comparing it will all of the outkast albums, this one is probably their worst one, LONG LIVE the ATLiens CD!

I've been with Outkast since SouthernPlayeristikCaddilacMuzik, so it's real cool to see them blow up like this.  Don't forget, they've always sold well, it's just these last three albums (I mean Stankonia and the current double album) have sold out of the strastosphere.
