imo: the love below is noteworthy as a statement, and a very
bold step, but it doesn't really have a whole lot of staying
power. it's bordering on novelty. but, it does have a few
true gems on it. speakerboxx is a real good hip-hop album.
it probably would've benifited from andre being on it more,
but it's still very good.

very tough. kickin' tracks on both. it's really like
comparing two kinds of fruit both of which you like because
they have a good flavor, though their flavor is different. i
love bananas, and i love grapes, too.

i was going to say exactly what epohs just said.

i will add that i have never really listened to much Outkast
and i didn't realize he was so funny. he says some pretty
wacky shit.

The Love Below.

A more interesting listen, for me. In particular I like
spread, prototype, she lives in my lap, Dracula's wedding,
and Vibrate.

Speakerboxx isnt that engaging for me. There are a couple
of tracks I enjoy, like ghettomusick and unhapy, but the
rest all kind of sound the same.

The Love Below, it's so eclectic and never gets boring, and
I'm not even a hip hopper. Andre has a excess of charisma.
It's the more ambious half of a really ambitious project.
His hair is ugly in the first video, though.

nah! his hair is super tight :) his hair kind of reminds me
of the one guy in the windowlicker video, except his hair
way kinda curly, i think.

There are good songs on both, but you can't really compare
them. It is an outkast album, and i like the whole.

oh yeah, like that autechre vs. dj shadow topic last year,
that made a whole lot of sense. :P

speakerboxxx and the love below have different aims and IMO
they're both accomplished. w/ big boi's album it's not
ambiguous at all. anyone who is or was into hip-hop (and i
don't mean "faggot ass anticon" or similar material, i mean
real hip-hop) can tell just by listening that this is one
dope as hell hip-hop album. w/ andre's album it's really up
to each individual whether it satisfies them or not, but
that's what happens when you try something new.
