Well said re: "first draft"

I just said in another post that I feel like it was mimicking the west coast sound while still putting an OutKast spin on it. It's really good and I love it, but it's 4th best in their catalogue IMO as well.

I think Southernplayalistic is a better album head-to-head, but I liken it to Common's first album, in that they are both good albums that show flashes of the brilliance we saw later from both artists but are not quite at the level we came to expect from either.
