Outkast had the intelligence to realize a double CD in which Andre 3000 and Big Boy Unveil facet on a CD. So we can better understand the distribution of roles in tandem. Sun side (Speakerboxxx), Big Boy explores hip hop tinged drum & bass already discovered during enjoyable BOB on Stankonia. Speakerboxxx by the violence of his speed even more instrumental than the flow of Big Boy, give a boost to a hip hop too often monotonous. This brings us back to the origins of the movement when the rap cohabited nicely with the electro (Africa Bambaataa). The exuberant Big Boy likes to play hard in a game rap he proclaimed himself "hip hop sheriff". Speakerboxxx meets a real all star of rap us: Ludacris, Jay Z, Killer Mike and his brothers weapon Dungeon family. Moon side (the love below), Andre 3000 becomes crooner and managed a hip hop album flawlessly only on the universal theme of LOVE. While Big Daddy Kane and LL Cool J sank into silliness, Andre 3000 subjugates the subject by a beautiful and simple writing close to the sensuality of Marvin Gaye. Large female voices like Rosario Dawson, Kelis and Norah Jones in an accompanying album to eclectic music. Rap is obviously omnipresent; the drum & bass is less present than Speakerboxxx and jazz is subdued during the title "track # 17" violent chase between a piano close to the harmonious notes of a Abudllah Ibrahim and breakneck rap instrument. For this 5th album in less than 10 years OUTKAST revolutionized the American hip hop scene. They remain his aliens Atlanta that nobody really understands. Their sweet madness reminds breaks groups Funkadelic during the seventies and Wu Tang mid 90s.
