Outkast: Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Interview, Nov, 2003 by Stephen Mooallem
Ostensibly two solo records, this double album is a sprawling meditation on dirty rhythms and dirtier thoughts that ventures from the psychological to the scatological. Big Boi's Speakerboxxx funnels hard-bitten gangsta beats through a collection of meaty, bouncy party cuts that turn mean the moment they get rolling; and Dre's The Love Below is the romantic counterpoint, infusing a set of spare R&B woo tracts with a George Clintonesque irreverence.
It's an incisive and exhilarating dissection of hip-hop's beats, tropes, and bombast that's unflinching to the point of self-flagellation.
