Outkast: Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below auf 4 LPs

In the beginning there was Outkast, the prolific Hip Hop duo hailing from Atlanta, who made music sound like Soul Food; fatty,

funky, fresh. Then, in 2003, Big Boi and André 3000 released solo-albums under their shared moniker

and named it"Speakerboxxx / The Love Below', and saw that it was good. And so did we. Both albums display the

playful experimentation of their two very distinct styles and yet it is still undoubtedly an OUTKAST album. Big Boi takes us into a darker, 808-fuelled

world of true Hip Hop on Speakerboxxx, while André 3000's eccentricity is given free rein on The Love

Below, with pit stops at crooner-Jazz, Soul and Funk. Together we stand, divided we fall, but Outkast´s

"Speakerboxxx / The Love Below' proves that sometimes, one plus one can make a gazillion.
