i love "love below".. no shit.. that is probably the 1st or 2nd best record of the year.. i couldn't even go into explaining it or reasoning with you as to why it is so tight.. it just refreshing.. andre 3000 is the premier artist in music right now.. he is, to my generation, what prince was to his generation, what clinton was to that generation, etc..

as far as big boi goes, i highly underestimated the impact of his album.. crazy production, good hooks (for the most part) and some ill lyrics.... BUT! i still feel that there isn't anything holding the album together.. it just seems like some really good tracks (minus the joint with ludacris and the shit with lil jon) compiled on one cd.. basically, when i hear "speakerboxx", i hear 1/2 of outkast.. when i hear "the love below" i hear an individual genius/artist doin his thang...

peace
