Dynamic Duo!! Awesome Twosome!! Call 'em what you want, but Outkast by far is one of the most creative rap groups out there. No where do they show this more than their lastest CD, Speakerboxx/The Love Below. I ain't gonna lie, I do miss the early days, when long cadillacs and hood attire was the norm. While most of the Dungeon Family is still rockin' this today, its most creative fraternal twins rock everything from feather boas and eccentric costumes (Andre 3000) to plaid suits with pilot sunglasses (Big Boi). And their music has taken the same turn. Gotta love it!! The need to keep changing and take chances has made Outkast a dual force to be reckoned with in a category all their own. With Speakerboxx/The Love Below, it just keeps getting better. Big Boi's bass hit mumbles fused with Andre 3000's recent infactuation with instrumental experimentation and theater scoring maintains the group's raunchy, but clever delivery. Keep it comin' fellas.

Recommendation: A definite must for the frustrated rap music lover who knows there is more to ATL than all things crunk!! Word up.
