How you feel about this double-solo-album project from André Benjamin and Antwan Patton will have a lot to do with how you feel about messes. Some people like a nice tidy world, with everything in its place, all the tools hung up in the right place, never miss the flashlight when the power goes out, etc. Those people should just start running from The Love Below/Speakerboxxx now, and never ever look back.

"Stankonia" is the fourth release by Atlanta hip hop duo Outkast. This album would, at no question, have to be among the most creative hip hop albums of the year. The duo of Big Boi and Dre continue with their prowess of experimenting with different sounds and genre of musical overtones.
