Stankonia

This is my first Outkast album just FYI. This was funny, solid jazzy beats and lyricism made for an enjoyable time, even if its usually not my thing. It’s a massive 70+ minutes, and as solid as it is throughout, i wasn’t feeling all those minutes. Standouts are Gasoline Dreams, so fresh so clean, Ms. Jackson, Spaghetti Junction, B.O.B and Slum Beautiful.

Funkiare än Funkadelic. Fler höjdarlåtar. Spaghetti Junction, B.O.B och Snappin' & Trappin' håller jag särskilt högt. Hade de bara låtit bli buskisen hade det kunnat bli ännu högre betyg.

Niet mijn absoluut favoriete album van OutKast, maar ik kan enorm waarderen hoe dit georganiseerde chaos is. Invloeden van allerlei muziek stromingen en complete schijt aan hoe hiphop ‘hoorde’ te zijn op dat moment. Daarmee ruimte gecreëerd voor veel nieuwe creativiteit.

classic. Their best album. but man I hate interludes. always just so wildly lame.

The transitions are soo fucking good. Fun Fact: Big Boi is performing in my city tonight I've always loved Ms. Jackson, but never listened to the album in full, and I am glad that I did. Such a timeless album.

No. 195 Overall great album. Fun, funny, funky. A number of classics here.

The music is quite good, but there's waaaay to many interludes.

4,4/5

There's a 5/5 album in here, and kudos to those who've found it. There's some really great stuff on here, must-listens. But there's a good bit of bloat that I can't seem to get through unscatched.

Reminds me of school I remember hearing Ms Jackson in high school, before viral was a thing, and it spread like wildfire, everywhere you went kids were singing the hook. I was only listening to punk and the time but it even turned my head and is probably the first hip hop song I remember loving. The album stands up today and one of the best Hip Hop records ever made. So many classic singles and only a little filler. Favourite track: B.O.B

It is mastered very, VERY well. Honestly it was incredibly surprising to me, and although I'm not a big hip hop fan it made it into an enjoyable listen.

groovy, funky

Having grown up at a time that meant my experience was limited to Speakerboxx/The Love Below, Outkast have never been an artist I want to shit on, but not one I ever really felt like I 'got', either. That changes as of this album - the variety in styles across this album is amazing and it feels like a concept album. Great bloody stuff!

Not my go-to genre but a fun listen.

Es difícil escuchar un álbum así de clásico como un proyecto único, teniendo a dos artistas que aportan géneros distintos. Es increíble la cantidad de interludios, es impecable. 4/5.

Really enjoyed this, but let down by some unnecessary skits (why do so many late 90s/early 00s rap records have these stupid skits?) and it's about 20mins too long but still loved it

Nice but most songs not my cup of tea

I will say, as someone that really doesn't seek out rap music (but should, I've been wanting to listen to more black artists and rap specifically) this was a pretty great album as a first timer. Very bleepy bloopy synth heavy, yet never skimping on great funky beats, and with some fantastic bars/hooks that will stay in my head for some time. Even the skits in the album were really funny! Shoutout to Kim and Cookie I think that one was my favorite, her line delivery of "and I was like, FUCK" is going to stick in my brain forever. Highlights: So Fresh So Clean (i loved this as an opener so much), Ms Jackson (ofc), Spaghetti Junction, B.O.B, Slum Beautiful. The only songs that didn't really work for me were We Love Dem Hoez and Stanklove, but that's more I felt they went on a little too long and their hooks weren't as good as some others. Not awful by any means but, just not for me.

funky fresh

Stanky indeed. The 75 minutes flies by with the aid of funky beats, fun skits and a great variety. Not normally a rap person but I really enjoyed this!

Ich kenne natürlich Songs aus dem Album aber es ist krass sie in ihrem Album zu hören. Es zieht sich gerade bisschen nach mrs Jackson… It’s getting its grove backkk Okey I’m getting distracted letzten 4 Songs Yuh uhm ich checke. 8/10

Nie zdążyłam przesłuchać całego albumu, ale przyznaję, że jest świetny. Nigdy nie spodziewałabym się, że mi się spodoba, ale nie mogę przestać myśleć o niektórych utworach. O wiele bardziej podobają mi się sekwencje śpiewana, bardzo zapadają w pamięć. 4,5/5

Now this is what I'm talking about. Despite having 24 tracks on it, Andre 3000 and Big Boi make every single second on here count, delivering impressive rap after impressive rap. Listening to Stankonia, it's easy to realize why it was such a devastation when the two stopped working together, as this really is light years ahead of everything else that was going on in hip hop at the time.

Some absolute bangers outside of the well known tracks. Interludes are unnecessary and don't really add much, and cause the album to be longer without any purpose

braaaabo

Stankonia was a good listen I enjoyed the wide variety of musical genres and how it blended together to make a cohesive listening experience. I was dancing crying and all the emotions and expression in between and I get the hype behind OutKast after listening. I’m feeling a strong 4-4 1/2

Highly regarded album and rightly so. This is not just a hip-hop rap album. There are eclectic songs with melodies on here.

So fresh, so clean

Way better than I expected it to be

Great project by one of the best hiphop duos to ever do it.

Natürlich ein sehr tuffes album, nur sind ein paar beats sogar ein bisschen ZU experimentell und "nichtssagend" für meinen Geschmack (, wie zum Beispiel der goofy ass Beat auf 'Snappin & Trappin 😭) Sonst hat das album definitiv einige Standouts : So Fresh, So Clean Ms. Jackson Spaghetti Junction I'll Call B4 I Cum B.O.B. We Luv Deez Hoez Humble Mumble Red Velvet Trotzdem kann ich dem album, aufgrund von den 'flaws' keine vollen 5 Sterne geben.

My son's mom and I drove from Memphis to Albuquerque listening to "Sorry Miss Jackson" on repeat. I still find it a rich and complex story. And Outkast's beats were always moving!

As OutKast as OutKast gets

Best Song: Gasoline Dreams. I love how this song kicks the door down and just busts into the room. Andre 3000 is on another level on this track, lyrically and vocally, with one of my favourite hooks in all of hip-hop. Worst Song: We Luv Deez Hoez. Weakest feature on the album, especially the "ha ha ha" chorus. Overall: Outkast albums are always just stuffed so full with great tracks, it really feels impossible to compare it to modern albums that seem to throw all their weight behind just one or two tracks. Less pop-focused than Speakerboxxx, and more groovy, southern-sounding hip-hop. Probably a few too many interludes, and a couple weak tracks, but it's still great overall.

Psychedelia meets the dirty south! This was so different than anything coming out at the time in hip-hop. Despite the colorful language it is socially conscious and anti-misogynistic. The samples and beats range wildly from funk and gospel to rock to rave style and Big Boi and Andre change up thier rap styles to fit the flow of each seamlessly. My only critique would be that it is long and I hate the interludes/skits. Still, it is a great album and a great break through for Southern Hip Hop.

What a great album to get right after that shit that was "The Shaman". Man I forgot how good Stankonia was. I think that is mostly because anymore you just hear the hit singles, Bombs Over Baghdad, Ms. Jackson, So Fresh So Clean. The only thing that is taking this from a 5 to a 4 is the interludes were not as good as I remember and were getting a bit on my nerves. Other than that great album.

Incredible. Hornier than I remembered. but Outkast at their biggest and best

The OutKast album is really good, objectively, but it’s really not my style. There’s an excess of attention of detail to this music - unlike a lot of rap music, there is lots of variety within each song. A lot of the somgs are catchy to a certain degree. Of course, Ms. Jackson is a classic. I think I’d have to listen to this again to fully appreciate it, but it’s still a 7/10 for me because of how detailed and meticulous it is, while not feeling annoyingly detailed.

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑, maybe even 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 from a more objective standpoint This album is such a blast—one of those sort of sonic variety feasts like People's Instinctive Travels, Paul's Boutique, or Midnite Vultures. Some real emotional breadth (and depth) too. Very funny, very sad, very sad and funny. My lack of a fifth star is only because—besides "So Fresh, So Clean" and "Mrs. Jackson," because I'm basic—very few songs, like, magically clicked/stood out from the symphony for me, even though they all had their own character. Maybe this was a mood thing, so the score may improve on another listen. 1: Bad | 2: Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Some straight up classics in this one, but also some unique and funky tracks that I heard for the first time! A good time!

Un clásico del hiphop

Definitely some filler here, but overall a great album! Had a lot of fun listening to this.

On the first listen, too much to absorb all at once. Best to let it wash over you and hope for the best via osmosis. Hard to overstate how it changed the genre and "pop" music at the time as well. It's got it's points where it drags, though. I'd give an extra half a star if it was about 10, maaaaybe 15 minutes shorter.

Banger🔥

Full of great songs, humour, seriousness, pretty much everything going for this album. Ms. Jackson was my fav song of the album. B.O.B - Bombs Over Baghdad (my fav first listen) and We Luv Deez Hoez were my other highlights

marv

We're bouncing.

Really great album and what a great starting point for the 2000s decade Not my personal favourite outkast album but it's a classic 8.89/10

The intro is futuristic which was so cool. Gasoline Dreams was a great start to the album before moving into the classics that I knew off this album. Fresh and Clean has been in my rotation for years ever since I heard it off 2k. B.O.B (Bombs over Baghdad) through Humble Mumble was my favorite section of the album for me. The last bit of the album just isn't as much my style aside from Red Velvet. If the last part of the album had the same energy as the first I would give it 5 stars.

very very good, really nostalgic and reminds me of band

historia

Wild

site deleted my whole long ass review so :((((( love outkast, love the early stuff more, this is a little too long and somehow at the same time not quite as full as their last two but it still rocks!! best rappers of all time, insane that this is their 3rd best album

Ik ben dus bang... Dat ik dit album nooit volledig heb geluisterd. Aquemini? Zeker, Supercalfiidfiaiid, ook absoluut. Speakerboxx / The Love Below? Ook geluisterd. Maar Stankonia om de een of andere reden nog niet. Dus hier gaan we natuurlijk goed voor zitten, Outkast zijn gewoon legendes. En dit is niet te vergelijken met de meeste andere hiphop albums uit die tijd. De beats zijn agressief, de flow. God de flow. Andre 3k laat hier wat mij betreft zien waarom hij altijd genoemd word met de beste rappers ooit. Ondanks dat de beats werkelijk alle kanten opgaan, lukt het 3k en Big Boi gewoon alsnog om op de maat te blijven en er een geheel van te maken. Er staan best wel wat skits op dit album, het opent zelfs met een halve porno skit dusja... Dan verwacht je toch wat minpunten, maar dit is ondanks de runtime absoluut geen lange zit. Dat komt omdat de beats maar ook de nummers en de features uit heel veel verschillende hoeken en stijlen komen. Overigens is B.O.B. zeer waarschijnlijk technisch een van de beste hiphopnummers ooit gemaakt. En daarnaast is het ook gewoon HYPE. AS. FUCK. Ja, dit is een heerlijk hiphop album. Terechte klassieker. Net geen 5 voor mij, daarvoor zitten helaas toch wat nummers die me minder pakken tussen en niet elke skit trek ik even goed. Maar is dit een must-listen? Zeker, dit is nog altijd vernieuwende hiphop als je het mij vraagt, en waarom zou je het niet aan mij vragen? FAVO: So fresh So Clean, Ms Jackson, B.o.B., We luv deez hoes, Mumble Bumble

The interludes add lore to each of the songs. Gives the album a consistent homogenous theme.

88/100. A bold, genre blending project that solidified Outkast’s legacy. The highs are iconic, some of the most recognizable tracks in hip-hop. While there’s a bit of unevenness across the track list, the album maintains a consistently high quality. Despite a few dips, the standout songs are so strong they more than carry the weight.

slayed!! combines different vibes and it’s also one of the long albums; i loved it

Kongsole native rating UI test — 2026-06-23

Great. Not as good as ATliens or Aquemini, but excellent.

4/5, a bit of a mixed bag. Some meh and unimpressive pieces, but the good songs are *really* good. If you enjoy prog rap, I think this is right up your alley. "So Fresh, So Clean," and "Ms. Jackson" are the two songs I'm most familiar with, and they're great — but my favorites were "Gasoline Dreams," "B.O.B.," and "Humble Mumble." These songs are special. The first two have this sick aggressive beat and delivery to them. An industrial guitar riff gives a strong, memorable structure for "Gasoline Dreams." And the lyricism is fantastic in all three. The breakdown for "Humble Mumble" is awesome in both lyricism and delivery. Outkast is genius at times, and these songs showcase that genius. Funnily enough, the least enjoyable pieces of this album are the interludes. I generally enjoy these, but for better or worse I found myself annoyed by their inclusion, just wanting to get back to the music.

8/10 - some incredible songs on here which will go down in history as some of the best hip hop songs of all time i.e. BOB and Ms Jackson. But it also suffers from too many strange interludes as was the fashion of the time when it was released

Aquemini is not on the book ??? Wtf ?? Ms. Jackson is one of the best rap song all time. No its one of the best song of all time period. Really liked this one. Great lyrically and the beats are just as good. Its inconsistent so its not a 5. Would recommend if you like rap.

I'm familiar enough with the hits from this, and am looking forward to listening to the entire album. This is quite good.

262/1089 somehow never considered that Ms. Jackson was OutKast… but when it started playing it made so much sense a lot of this one sort of blended together, it’s not as strong as Speakerboxxx/The Love Below imo faves: Ms. Jackson, B.O.B. and Slum Beautiful 72/100

Such fun lyricism and performance that seems to be somewhat lost within modern rap. Really versatile flows that swap constantly in what seems to be an effortless fashion; somewhat second nature to them. Such phenomenal fresh production that is crystal clear 26 years later and wraps your head up in their unique sounds in a way that feels like surround sound even on macbook speakers.

Faves: Gasoline dreams So fresh so clean Ms Jackson BOB We luv deez hoez Humble mumble Slum beautiful

Is cool.

Erykah Badu Feature?! Nice

pretty amazing album that's just a little too bloated Will I listen to again: 100%

Sorry Mrs. Jackson, not quite 5 ⭐️

This was a fun listen. Spaghetti Junction, Humble Mumble, Red Velvet, Xplosion, Stankonia are all bangers that I hadn't heard before.

Saw someone say this was like a knock off 36 chambers and wanted to kms

Great album by a legendary group. Back half of the album slopes off for me. Not their greatest work but still an amazing album with plenty of repeatability

Has some great songs. "B.O.B." is just an amazing example of how great the duo can be. The skits are a bit cumbersome, and there are a few misses on the album, but overall its pretty good. 3.5/5 Will listen again

le doy un 5/10, no es un album que escucharia siempre pero tiene 2 temas que son buenisimos.

fire 😼

Funky hip hop. More good than bad - just about. Good pace throughout. Liked a fair few tracks including So Fresh So Clean and the frenetic Bombs Over Baghdad. And even more experimental like Toilet Tisha had a certain appeal. Generous 4. A bit more quality over quantity would help.

Given how much I ended up getting into their Speakerbox/Love Below and then ATL/Aqu was feeling.a little let down by this one. Maybe for me the different directions they were heading in away from more their earlier (somewhat) more traditional hiphop would work better in the 2x solo album format. Struggling to hit a 4 but that was my Speakerbox rating which ultimately ended up being very much a round-down so evening out by rounding up here..

sgood

prety goo

Listened to this album the other day before it came up on the list. Solid 4-star album. Favorite track: B.O.B. Favorite skit: Kim & Cookie.

Awesome album. Possibly too long, but you get a real mix of flavours throughout. Some tracks had a great funk and rhythm, others delivered hard flows. I felt great listening to this and will definitely be revisiting some of my favourite tracks. Favourites: Ms. Jackson Snappin' & Trappin' B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)

Couldn’t OutKast have like six classic albums instead of three (that I can think of)? Why is it so long???? It’s good, but not (what felt like) two hours good.

Also listened to half of it, great music, great vibes. You feel like the coolest person on earth walking arpind while listening to this.

Is great is OUTKAST so Obviousleeeeee

Good! Chill hip hop/rap nice while I was painting. Cool and easy

Southern hip hop, experimental funk Gasoline dreams Ms. Jackson B O B

It's a great album no doubt, but there's too many skits and overall it doesn't consistently reach the peaks required for a 5 in my book. I don't care how good it is, 73 minutes is a LOT for one album. I have similar feelings to this as S/TLB but would probably give this the edge overall.

Es largo entonces se vuelve irregular, pero tiene momentos excelentes.

I never disliked Outkast, but I didnt expect to actually really like this album. Sold. Please enter my collection.

Never listened to Stankonia before this outside of Miss Jackson - pretty good. I can hear where modern ATL rap gets its' inspiration. Easy 4.

Rating: 9/10 Amazing, way too many skits and some weaker tracks prevent this from being a 5-star album.

They didn't have to give us 24 songs on one album, but they did. So many classic bangers.

Many bangers.

ATLiens represent. What an album. How can you not love Outkast.

Hip hop has never been my first choice, but here you have to admit it really slaps. 7/10

Some really great tracks in here, although a little long + unnecessary skits.

I’ll give it a 4 star but this album is definitely not their best. Lots of fillers. I think if you could trim this down to maybe 10 or 12 songs it would be a classic!

Somewhere between 3 and 4. Like most albums the whole is not as good as some of the parts. I will round up this time.

This one's a little long, and not everything works well for me, but I was pretty impressed overall. There's some really great tracks here. "B.O.B." was the song that really sold me on this album.

FUCK YEAHHHH! that was great, I'd never heard this one before, absolutely what I needed on a Thursday morning. Surprised they done have Aquemini on this, I definetely prefer it but this was still really enjoyable.

I'm well aware of this album and the hits from it, but I never really bothered with it as I didn't think I'd enjoy a whole album's worth. I was very pleasantly surprised - there were a whole load of great tunes on here, in addition to Ms Jackson which is an all-timer (and gets better the more closely you listen to it; superb lyrics and theme). The skits are really annoying and prevent me giving this the full marks, but it's pretty close.

Great beats, great flows, great album. Knocked down 1 point because it is too long, and has too much filler.

Crazy! I've only ever known radio OutKast, but this goes hard! Fits right in there with Dre and Snoop and the like, didn't think of them like that at all. Hard to say no to Ms. Jackson, but then was gonna go with So fresh so clean, then miss badu came out! Forgot about that banger, 100% the pick. A few other fantastic songs tho, really enjoyed Slum Beautiful and Stankonia. 4.25/5.

I love this album and it has a bunch of excellent songs. I only rate an album five stars if it is flawless with no skips. This is almost there, but not quite. I wish I could give 4.5.

Favorite tracks: So Fresh So Clean, Ms. Jackson, I'll Call Before I Come, B.O.B., Gangsta Shit OutKast have been unstoppable since the mid 90s, simple as. The duo of Andre 3000 and Big Boi deliver some of their hottest bars and most invigorated performances here, and the beats similarly do not disappoint.

Sehr geils album! Aber chli lang, find paar songs hett mer striiche chönne

Its a classic.

If there is one thing I have learned over the course of this project, it’s that the Brit’s putting the book together are actually dead on at picking a lot of these Gangsta Rap albums. Not only was I not expecting OutKast to have 2 albums on here, but I wasn’t expecting this one to also be so heavy on the P Funk. Last time I heard P Funk was with Funkadelic, and I gave that a 5 star rating. When you mix the 2 genres together here, you end up with a very uneven, but still pretty goated album. It’s uneven because over the course of its 1 hour and 13 minute runtime, I kind of got the point about 30 minutes in. They blow their load early with “Gasoline Dreams”, “So Fresh, So Clean” and the all time classic that most people probably recognize, “Ms. Jackson”. You then have to wait all the way until the middle of the album to hit my favorite song on the album, “B.O.B. - Bombs Over Baghdad”, which has just an insanely good hook to it and a good rhythm that makes you want to dance. This album has, not including the skits or the intro, about 16/24 songs. I only really love the hits, you can take or leave the rest. Notably, they’re still really good, but the hits actually do blow me away for once with how good they are. I’m generally a bit of an outlier when it comes to picking my favorite songs on these albums, but yeah, the hits are the best here. This is my first of 2 OutKast albums I have rolled for this project, and after consistently hearing some great Hip Hop over the course of my journey, gotta say that I’m super excited to roll the second album from these guys as well. I didn’t love every song on the album, I end up skipping quite a few actually, but as a whole, and considering how good the hits are, I’m going to give this one a low 4, probably somewhere around a 4.2. It’s great, if not a little flawed, and when it’s good, it’s very good. The flows these guys both put out when on top of their game are some of the best I’ve heard so far, but they don’t land as often as I’d like them to. Good stuff as always. Carry on.

I really enjoyed this!!

Outkast like these guys. I would like to come. Why is someone moaning though. Ig that is pretty funky. I like this I was just in a bad mood earlier. This is aura. It's very cool. I would play this to impress a girl. Oh this Ms. Jackson is weird. There are a lot of interludes which are not my favourite but it's chill. Meet me at the spaghetti junction bruh. Oh you don't have to call it's ok. I really liked this it's very vibey. Favourite: So Fresh, So Clean Least favourite: Snappin' & Trappin'

W raps 7.5/10

Bangers after bangers

Some classics, some mid.

Fine fkn art right there boys.

There are the obvious hits but there are some really good lesser known tracks on here. I always loved the synth on Red Velvet, which provides some nice variety to the tone of the album. I have never been a fan of the skits in between tracks, which does spoil the flow somewhat.

Better quality overall than speakerboxx/love below. This album in particular showcases the unique flows and cadences that they bring compared to a lot of comparable east/west coast rap - I’m particularly interested in how the musical influences in and around Atlanta would have evolved their sound differently. I’ve heard them (particularly Andre 3000) compared to a modern day Prince and can see that coming through here, with blues, funk, jazz, soul influences all melded together somewhat in the beats and music similar to how ‘sign o the times’ also did. Singles also hold up really well.

Hip Hop isn't particularly in my genre wheelhouse, but I respect the art form. This was an interesting and very entertaining listen. I really liked the use of the "breaks' throughout. Do wish we got Hey Ya, but beggars/choosers and all that... ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The last true Outkast album (the others are a soundtrack and 2 solo albums stapled together) is appropriately the sound of two guys growing in different directions. Andre is digging deeper into funk and jazz influences and getting political while Big Boi is talking about how bitches just want your money. That's extremely reductive of course, but there's enough of that on Stankonia to keep it from feeling timeless. There's no doubting it's influence to both jazz rap and the southern rap renaissance that Outkast helped create, but the skits and some of the lyrics keep it a little too stuck in the late 90's. These guys as a fully collaborative duo were a shooting star that moved hip-hop forward in large strides, but their paths always seemed destined to diverge.

Classic. High peaks in Ms. Jackson and So Fresh So Clean but some skips too

The Interludes mad me LOL. This album is awesome. These guys would be a great hang. Funky with a mix of lyrical singing and rap.

For me, OutKast can be a bit hit-and-miss at times. This album felt a little bit too inconsistent for me to call it great, but that isn't to say it isn't good. Pulling in some of the premium talent of the early noughties, this is a solid collection of tracks that showcases what the duo are capable of, so I think I'm going to give it a four out of five.

++: So Fresh, So Clean, Ms. Jackson, D.F., Spaghetti Junction, I'll Call Before I Come, B.O.B., Humble Mumble, Drinkin' Again, ?, Toilet Tisha, Pre-Nump +: Intro, Gasoline Dreams, Snappin' & Trappin', Xplosion, We Luv Deez Hoez, Red Velvet, Gangsta Shit, Slum Beautiful, Stankonia (Stanklove) +-: I'm Cool, Good Hair, Cruisin' in the ATL -: Kim & Cookie 7,9/10

Eclectic like a mix of gangsta and conscious hip hop to psychedelic rock. The rhymes flow like quickly-melting butter. The album kinda gave me whiplash cause it's all over the place.

Its okay and surprise me at the first selection album.

Power music, electric revival!!! Este álbum es una ambigüedad, a mi parecer, como un profeta anunciando todo lo que está por sonar en la década, y al mismo tiempo, ese anuncio no es más que una innovación del funk y el R&B de 30 años atrás. Un punto para señalar es que el disco me resulta muy masculino. ¿Hace falta mencionar el porqué? Basta con escuchar cómo comienza. Sin embargo, considero que éste álbum es el sello de calidad de los años 2000 y la escuela formativa para muchos de los artistas que les sucedieron. Me resulta valioso cuando es notorio que los artistas le ponen pasión a lo que hacen, y tanto Big Boi como Andre 3000 reflejan que todos los elementos utilizados en Stankonia realmente fueron estudiados para ser puestos en su lugar. También es muy llamativo el como se animaron a mezclar diversas temáticas. Por un lado, la insinuación sexual, por otro, un sonido melancólico (o nostálgico para quienes lo miramos hoy con años de por medio), luego la estética gangster que nunca abandona hasta el último minuto, supongo que para eso servirán los interludios, ¿No? Mención aparte y especial al gran amor que siento por el slap del bajo que suena en Ms. Jackson y también los versos cantados en Spaghetti Junction. El interludio de Kim & Cookie: una maravilla.

I really really want to give this album 5 stars. And I would if we removed many of the repetitive hooks. I get a couple times in-between verses or a couple times to close this out. But some of the hooks are more than half the song. Even if the beat and melody took some variation in these it'd be fine. As is I get bored.

Flowing and vibing. Sonoridades diversificadas, bom espírito e boa vibe. Um álbum muito interessante na descoberta do mundo Hip Hop dos 2000's

Great rapping, even better production. Doesn't get a 5 because out of the 18 or so songs in there, I enjoyed about 12/13. Favourite was Bombs Over Baghdad. High 4

High 3/low 4? I enjoyed speakerboxxx considerably more but this is still a fun record

Much too much filler but the bangers slap heavy

Gangsta shit and bombs over bagdad

felt as if i watched a stage play (in a good way)

För att vara rap ... ganska skönt sväng. Orkar inte bry mig om låtar eller texter, men beatsen och flowet har något. Svag fyra.

Nii tuoretta nii puhtoista ja bobi on goatti. Mut nelkku sit kokonaisuus.

Second best album of theirs.

Very nice

This is their mountaintop album as far as I'm concerned. You could definitely trim the fat in a couple of places, but for the most part it's solid all the way through with some really high highs. 'B.O.B.' remains untouchable, and I'm still blown away every time I hear how Andre 3000 is able to rap over the beat on '?'

Pretty great album. I lost some momentum near the very end but for the most apart I like the varried beats and flow. Andre 3000's voice is captivating to me. Some catchy unforgettable songs, and most of the new ones to me were similarly entertaining

3,8

Good album, I don´t think it´s overated as some reviews are pointing out. The last track that carries the album name it was ok, could be better, but I don´t think it trashes the whole thing. And besides that, in my honest musical view, anyone that is shitting this album don´t know nothing about music, it is GREAT. Progressive, experimental and fun to listen. Some lyrics are problematical? Yes. But the 2000´s were as well, like the 90´s, 80´s and 70´s. 4/5

No solo tiene 2 canciones de mi adolescencia, sino que tiene más buenos temas y featuring.

Loved this album. It’s their breakthrough into the mainstream. Ms Jackson is a classic song and really set the album off.

très bien mais album trop long

Good fun album. Starts excellently and maybe fades a little. Still, the standout songs mean it deserves 4* overall

Impressive

Really fun album

What a record. So many memorable and timeless hits that Outkast gave to us through this release. Their imaginative and innovative production style forever changed and cemented their place in hip hop and further brought southern hip hop onto the map. The chemistry these two display is uncanny and their styles are so different, but it all works in harmonious fashion. I loved this record when it was first released and that still rings true today.

Fun as shit ngl 7.7/10 ?

75% goeie tunes op dit album

theres some real bangers on here but idrk why its so long. if it was trimmed a bit i prob would give it a 5 but still a valuable album in my collection

This album holds a special place in my heart. I love old Outkast. Southernplayalistic, ATLiens, Aquemini, but then this album started the transition to the newer sound that produced Speakerboxxx/Love Below. Their style is unique and immediately recognizable. They put southern hip hop on the map. Both of them are incredible in their musical skills.

Never been a fan of southern hip-hop. Yet, have to admit that So fresh so clean, Ms jackson, B.o.B. are absolute timeless bangers. 4 out of 5

I haven’t listened to Stankonia front to back since probably 2002, so I’m excited to revisit it. T1 – Big Boi comes out swinging immediately. That opening energy is pure confidence. T4 – “So Fresh, So Clean” – “Gator belts and patty melts and Monte Carlos” remains one of those lines that’s rhythmically addictive. T5 – “Ms. Jackson” – The defining track of the album and arguably the era. It’s pop-forward without sacrificing personality, vulnerability, or weirdness. 1.5 billion streams later and “Forever, forever ever?” is still lodged in the cultural brainstem. T6 – Killer Mike shows up and immediately makes his presence felt, commanding, hungry, no wasted bars. The beat feels like a direct feed from the inside of André’s head: jittery, layered, and slightly unhinged in the best way. T11 – “B.O.B.” – I vividly remember hearing this on local alt-rock radio and genuinely thinking it was a completely different band than the group behind “Ms. Jackson.” The tempo, the aggression, the punk-energy chaos—it was hip-hop crossing genre boundaries at full sprint. The push-and-pull between Big Boi and André 3000 is what makes Stankonia timeless. Big Boi’s disciplined pocket control and syllabic syncopation ground the record, while André’s eccentric wizardry and technical velocity stretch it into something unpredictable. That contrast and chemistry still feels contemporary.

Funky Sound dieses Album, hat mir insgesamt sehr gefallen

sehr gut anzuhören und teilweise lustig. so fresh, ms jackson, bob natürlich banger.

Geile Mucke, Ms. Jackson ein zeitloser Banger Ich bleib dabei, ich kann ohne die ganzen Skits aus den Rapalben, gibt mir nix...

fun! already knew a couple, ms jackson of course. really enjoyed listening to the full album, unsure if i'll listen again though

funky. Never listened to this album in full! enjoyed the storytelling and blend of each song!

So many bops!! Great album overall

I like

ну вроде норм негры навалили, послушаю потом еще

This had energy and was really interesting. Good vocals and good sounds. Happy this holds up.

Spännande blanding är det, detta ska bli kul!! De enda jag vet om OutKast är ju Hey ya som inte finns på denna, men här finns So fresh and so clean och Ms Jackson! Men väldigt bra ändå, bara trevliga låtar och musik, lätt att lyssna på!!

Stone cold classic. Combines Andre's funky rapping with Big Boi's smooth and consistent flow. Full with all-time classics and hidden gems. 8/10

honestly good rap solid 8/10

Extremely solid album. If it weren’t for all the skits and interludes, this would be a 5

real. all over. funky. chill. vibes.

Hit or miss. I realize that I am more of an Andre 3000 fan than big boi

Cool to see some popular songs I know in a complete album. I’ve heard a lot of these songs individually but hearing the whole story was a different experience!

So fresh so clean

Other than the interludes and little ditty/dialogues, this is a surprisingly great album. I mean, great. Deserved respect. Slum beautiful stands out so late in the tracks. Amazing! 4 solid deserved stars. Well done.

I think overall this album is awesome. It perfectly encapsulates the entire aesthetic and lifestyle it's portraying. I think sometimes the flow can get cramped, but overall the songs actually connect and sometimes make a story throughout.

Great album

Yes

i love big boi and i cannot lie

Lowkey peak🔥

7/10

Brilliant hip hop!

Solid

Maybe not the thing I felt like listening to today but really good much better than that. Terrible double album.

Classic rap

loved so many songs in this album. one of their best works for sure

per niente noioso come altri old school!

One of OutKasts best albums. Lots to love about this album but for me there is a certain something missing that keeps it from being a 5 star.

I see a lot of reviews complaining of the skits on this record. Outkast was hardly the first hip hop act to include skits (remember 'Doggystyle'?)... whether you like those are not, the music is what stands out to me. Do I relate to anything A3K and BB are rapping about? Nope. Do I appreciate the artistry? %100. This record is fantastic... cooler than a polar bear's toenails.

Awesome

4.5 This was a fun album. I enjoyed a lot of the songs.

I love it when Hip Hop gets uber creative and this is really a master class in that.

I was very excited to listen to this album today. It came out during a time when my kids were young, so "explicit content" wasn't really allowed in my life. And then I just never got around to listening to it after that period of my life. At first I was a bit uncertain as I really enjoyed the music, but I expected the lyrics to be more subtle and not as "in your face" as much hip hop is and was. As I delved further I realized they actually were, and there was more gray to this than the typical misogyny and violence of rap music from that time. Standout songs for me were the obvious ones of course-So Fresh, So Clean and Ms. Jackson-but also ones I hadn't heard before like I'll Call B4 I Cum (ok maybe not subtle but also not ridiculously over the top), We Luv Deez Hoez (again not subtle but not exactly what one would expect from that song title), Red Velvet, Toilet Tisha (WOW), and the sexiness of Stankonia. I don't think this is quite a five star record for me, but I understand why it is for so many people.

Ok so I really liked it it is American hip hop very classic but it makes you dance. The sounds are avanguardial and very cool. The very famous Mrs. Jackson was amazing but also others like so fresh so clean were amazing.

I’m not really big on rap or hip-hop, but I still enjoyed this album. The songs have strong social commentary and storytelling, mixed with funky and upbeat sounds. It’s fun and easy to listen to. The tracklist feels long, but the interludes help make it feel lighter and entertaining. Overall, it’s a good and enjoyable album.

A classic. Keeping it from a 5 bc of length and there were a few songs I wanted to skip. Didn't look at the tracklist beforehand so when it transitioned from So Fresh So Clean into Ms. Jackson I was like oooooooof

Great album that brought us some gems including one of my favorite rap songs B.O.B. It is a bit long which has me contemplating between 3 or 4 stars but even between the big yams there’s quality stuff like Humble Mumble, 4 stars!

A certified classic album of both radio-friendly hits ("Ms. Jackson", "So Fresh So Clean", maaaaaybe "BOB", i don't remember if it was a hit but feels like it was) and tracks that just flat out go hard ("Gasoline Dreams", "Humble Mumble", "Snappin and Trappin", etc). Outkast was so dope: original, unique, complementary of each other's talents, and mixing humor and lightness with straight bars. I always think its funny that people treat it like a given that Andre is the better MC, I'm not positive about that myself..... It makes me sad to listen to such a great album in 2026 knowing that Andre 3000 is fucking around on a flute, sounding like a 7th grader who just discovered free jazz. Man, the future sucks

Would be a 5 if not for the annoying skits

Gasoline Dreams Ms. Jackson We Love Deez Hoez

Very fun

favorite track: spaghetti junction

The hits are hits and so are a lot of the other songs - short interludes but the album itself is pretty long - somewhere between a 3 and 4 but I’ll round up

I had always had a bee in my bonnet about this album after Pitchfork rated B.O.B the best song of the 2000's (I used to care about those things). I didn't like that song then, and I don't particularly now, but the rest of the album is pretty great, and Ms. Jackson is a classic.

Fun album They know exactly who they are 25 years old and sounds like could of been made yesterday

Love this album, peak 90s-2000s music, iconic staple to hip hop

I’ve heard a couple songs from this album before. All super catchy songs I give this album a 8/10

Love how different every song is, and has great features on it. Adding Killer Mike to any album is a plus. Some people complain about the interludes, but thought it broke up the album nicely. 4/5

This has ‘Bombs Over Baghdad’ so the floor is set at a 4/5. Really really strong album. Immaculate beats, great features (Khujo and Killer Mike really stood out), just about as much fun as you can have with a rap album. It doesn’t quite get up to a perfect 5 level due to too many interludes/skits and a couple dud songs, but this is a powerful 4/5 easily.

Great jams and familiar hits, not sure what the interludes add

Some bangers, favourites are BOB, So Fresh, So Clean and Gasoline Dreams

So good I lovee

This is my first OutKast album and I wasn’t really sure I’d like it bc I’m not huge into hip hop. All I’ve listened to by them before this was Hey Ya! But I really really liked it. The album was so sonically interesting and also had some great rap verses and lyrics. I really liked Gasoline Dreams which I feel like Kendrick Lamar reminds me a lot of. Overall a great album

This was a very fun album, including hits like Ms. Jackson and So Fresh, So Clean. There were a few "bit" tracks that weren't the best but overall super solid.

This album has a huge number of tracks with a lot of humor. The talking is a little dated and not my brand of humor (black ghetto humor) but the music is mostly excellent.

classic, love this one

The interludes are a bit of a drag and I think they were slightly sharper on Aquemini, but at it’s best, some of the most fun hip-hop you’ll hear.

Very very strong first half. Definitely falls off a bit after bob but still a super fun and great album. Rapping on this is excellent. 8/10

My favorite hip hop album of this project so far.

Lots of bangers I didn’t know about

4.4/5 first couple tracks does not get better

On one hand Stankonia is a big what if. There's an amazing ten or twelve track album in here if you strip away not just all the skits - which are rarely funny or even interesting - as well as longer failed experiments like "Toilet Tisha" and "Stanklove." On the other hand, the remaining tracks are so good that they make up for it. There's a great mix of classic rapping hip hop like "So Fresh, So Clean" and "We Luv Deez Hoes" and weirder stuff. "B.O.B" rightfully gets a lot of attention, but "Gasoline Dreams" and "Humble Mumble" also mix in rock elements in a fresh and exhilarating way. While it's not as good as Aquemini, this album still finds the duo pushing their sound forward and displaying their talents in a variety of ways, and I'd rank it as their second best. Just be ready to have your finger on the skip button. Break!

I love this album.

I was a mixed bag about this album before, I'm glad I went back to it. This is a very great representation of the sound of some old school rap music, and there are some amazing and rewarding highs in this too. I feel some tracks for short to the quality standard, like "I'll Call B4 I Cum", I just think it was a bit one dimensional and didn't add much to the track list. Hits like B.O.B., Ms. Jackson, and So Fresh, So Clean just make this record timeless and essential. I think this deserves a spot on the list but its not the best rap record ever and I do think OutKast have better records.

Well, I like it and there are some bangers on her but my god it could have done with a good editor and losing the skits which add nothing. Yet another unnecessarily long hip-hop album. The egos on these people. Still, it’s a 3.5 rounding up because it’s better than a 3

HELLLL YEAHHHHHH

Intro - 7/10 Gasoline dreams - 10/10 So fresh, So clean - 7/10 Ms Jackson - 8/10 Snappin & trippin - 8/10 Spaghetti junction - 6/10 I’ll call B4 I cum - 9/10 B.O.B - 9/10 Xplosion - 9/10 We love deez hoez - 9/10 Humble mumble - 10/10 ? - 7/10 Red velvet - 8.5 / 10 Gangsta shit - 8/10 Toilet tisha - 6/10 Slum beautiful - 6/10 Stankonia - 7/10 Average - 7.9/ 10

Not my usual thing, but this is a great album. It'd be even better if it were 30 minutes shorter. B.O.B. is the highlight.

classic with ms jackson and so fresh, so clean. reminded me how much hiphop can be musical poetry - esp from the 2000s.

Fire.

LOVE IT

Always great. Top Track: Humble Mumble

Sorry miss jackson...less interludes! But legit, when they are on...they are ON...when they are not, meh. But Miss Jackson + BOB = 4/5.

I love OutKast but this one isn’t my favorite — still great tho

pretty good but lost my attention after a while

Man, I used to love this album. And you know what, I still really do. I guess over time I have started to prefer other Outkast projects over this one. It still undeniably has some of their absolute best songs on it, but the album as a whole experience is just a tad messy, as much as the skits and interludes are a lot of fun, I think that there are maybe just a few too many that make the album feel a bit less coherent than it could have done.

12.15.25 Total listens: 0.5 1st listen notes: "Ms. Jackson" is a stand out track; few days behind & didn't listen to full album

5/1089 I didn't think I make it through this before listening. I've always loved Ms. Jackson but thought outkast stopped there ..and hey ya. I really enjoyed this album and there were nice surprise beats, fills and samples throughout. I'll listen to it again and I understand why Andrew 3000 isn't overrated.

i’ve listened before. stand outs are : BOB, fresh and clean, snappin and tappin , humble mumble it’s a really good rap album i don’t think it’s their best but def second 8/10

Lots of very iconic tracks in here very good. Don’t listen to a lot of rap but this was really good to me

Still don't like the skits, but damn do the tracks slap.

Really enjoyed a lot of the music, not into aaaall the interludes. Couple of absolute bangers

It’s innovative, it’s catchy through most of the album, there are three generational hits, but it’s also just a bit too long for me. Probably in the range of a high three/low four, but I’ll round up because who am I to criticize OutKast?

I was pretty worried after "So Fresh, So Clean" and "Ms. Jackson" were over only 16 minutes into a 1h 13min album. I was afraid that the rest of the hour would be a slog, but I was wrong. This album just kept going. Even though I didn't know any other songs, I was still jamming the whole time. The album ending was a surprise to me. It went by so fast and I wanted more. One or two more radio hits and this would be an easy 5 stars. 9/10 if we were on that scale.

So many highlights on this album. Ms Jackson is a classic and still very funny. As is so fresh so clean with some of the sleaziest hooks since peak prince. Bombs over Baghdad is fast frenetic and fantastic. Just stops short of being a classic due to the have of quality control towards the end of the album plus the silly all too frequent skits.

dang good. hard to swallow at first with the intro. more vulgar than i'm use to listening to but the rawness makes it entertaining. faves: red velvet, xplosion, ms. jackson, BOB - absolute banger - jumping insanely in my bedroom

Some great tracks, a few too many skits for my taste

Great hiphop

Stanky. In a good way.

It's a good vibe, quite enjoyed it Interludes are always annoying though, and it goes on for ever.

This album is like a sixteen year old boy who goes to midnight mass with his family every week. After one service, one of the girls who also attends regularly asks the boy if he wants to join her and some friends for a movie night in the church hall. She is quite attractive, so the boy is keen. They make their way to the church hall afterwards but there is no movie watching going on here. There are already some older kids who have brought alcohol to share around. Some music is playing, which is far heavier on the bass than the boy is used to. He smells some sort of smoke in the air, but he can’t think what it is. The girl who invited him asks if he wants to dance. Sheepishly, he agrees so she drags him to the makeshift dance floor and throws down some moves that involve more hip-gyration than he has ever seen in his life. He feels wildly out of his depth, yet somehow also feels welcomed by the entire party.

Great tunes but too many interlude and a lil long.

Classic. Lots of bops

Ah the beloved OutKast - the shake it like a Polaroid picture guys. This album contributed to Americana with such classics as I’ll call B4 I cum, we luv deez hoes and toilet Tisha. Seriously, ms Jackson is a great song. This is well produced and catchy. I can see why they were huge.

Too long to rate it higher. Some of the songs just DIDN'T hit.

Outkast is simply one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time. This album is no exception as it shows off their full range. My only complaint is that it's entirely too long. I know I'm not a fan of skits, but that's true of any rap album. Even without the skits, I think there are a few songs that make this a bit long in the tooth. But, the songs that are good are just absolute bangers, I mean some of the best rap that you'll ever hear. There's the obvious radio hits like Miss Jackson and So Fresh So Clean but others like B.o.B and Xplosion and Gasoline Dreams go so hard. Cut the fluff and you've got a perfect album, as it is easily a four-star.

No stranger to this album, it has some absolute class tracks on it

Onhan tämä oikein mainio levy. En muistanutkaan että olen kuunnellut tätä albumia aikoinaan. En vaan jotenkin tähän bändiin yhdistänyt tuttuja biisejä. On legendalevy.

4.29/5 Stars Top Songs: Ms. Jackson, Xplosion and Humble Mumble

Few great tracks, with lots of unique aspects but it's overly long. 3.5/5. Raising to 4.

I could do without the skits, which I don’t think add much here, and maybe I’d leave a song or two off but most of it is great. They bring a lot of disparate influences together very well. Ms. Jackson is an all-time classic. Easily a contender for best hip hop album ever.

Incredibly fun listen but less refined than I expected, makes sense for an earlier album from them. Loaded with goofy skits, a cohesive yet raunchy theme, and some generational hits. I thought the back half deserves way more attention — Humble Mumble and Red Velvet are catchy and carry the same energy as the rest!

This is my fourth Hip Hop album on the list, and I'm someone who knows basically nothing about the genre. Although two of the other three have high ratings on this page (and I didn't give them bad ratings), I feel like Stankonia was the introduction I needed to Hip Hop. Ms. Jackson is amazing, no wonder it was such a huge success. As a side note, this morning I bought a different album and I also randomly picked up a free music magazine in the store. There was a whole section dedicated to this album, celebrating its 25th anniversary. I didn't know Stankonia or OutKast previously, so it was a nice coincidence.

Really great some absolute bangers

Good album

I liked B.O.B. a lot. Gangsta Shit was a lot of fun too. Solid stuff from OutKast, I think I liked this maybe slightly more than Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (though, like that, this was marginally too long).

Although this album contains some of my least favorite attributes of aughts hip-hop (skits, casual misogyny, excessive guest stars) it also features some of the most iconic hip-hop songs of our millenium. Stylistically it's all over the place... if Speakerboxx/The Love below is Outkast's White Album, this is Rubbersoul: an album pushing against the boundaries of genre.

I haven't listened to this in forever and it still holds up. Can be a bit lengthy

Mixed experience. I like the hits and the songs with pace, but the album is too long overall. 3.5 stars

This was wackadoo. Really put the stank on ya.

I liked it! More experimental than I thought it would be with its interludes and like musical ambiance

No momento em que a introdução acaba e Gasoline Dreams começa com aquelas guitarradas eu já fui fisgado. Que álbum divertido, que produção diversa, que carisma.

Iconic hip hop album. spawned some of outkasts most popular singles. disc 1 is hits back to back ad. disc 2 is alr as well

Great stuff

I wasn't sure about this album when I first heard it. I liked some bits, not others... So I listened again. And again. Then a few months went past. Then I listened a few more times. And now I do in fact quite like it. Was I tricked into liking this by my uncertainty??

Great lesson. Appreciate that they made the album over an hour long sounded good.

top top

I really didn't expect this to be as psyched down like an electronic as it turned out to be honestly it was pretty cool and I liked it better than the other outcast album

Amazing album but gotta be consistent - not an immediate relisten for me

Esse é bem legal. Ainda que eu não me envolva tanto com o gênero, é possível perceber que é um trabalho diverso, divertido e de certo refinamento.

Stankonia is undoubtedly one of the best hip hop albums ever made, but its age is showing. I have a soft spot for this album with it being one of the first hip hop albums I listened to, when it first came out. But it was hard to get through the whole thing. All the interludes and skits that were endemic to rap albums in the 90s are at their worst here, interrupting the flow and not providing anything of value and all around are mostly just embarrassing. It's a waste, and the album could be about 15 minutes shorter and be perfect. *BREAK* The songs themselves are some of the catchiest ever-- "Gasoline Dreams", "So Fresh, So Clean", "Ms. Jackson", "B.O.B.". They are P-Funk, Prince, Public Enemy, Rage Against the Machine, Daft Punk, all filtered through a rave in the Deep South. Andre and Big Boi complement each other as one of, if not the best, rap duos ever. The bones of this album are masterful, fun and profound and unhinged. But there is so much extra fluff and fat that can be cut.

Exactly what you’d expect — wild, funky, and full of personality. “Ms. Jackson” and “B.O.B.” shine brightest, while the rest is a thumping circus of fun that occasionally wears me out, if I’m honest.

Totally stank.

Great album, interesting and varied beats

After falling behind on my generated albums I listened to this on a run - it was an interesting run. I didn’t hate it. Interesting beats, another quite long album but enjoyed the variation. The 1-2 of So Fresh, So Clean into Ms Jackson is pretty legendary.

Stankonia was a classic when it came out and remains so 25 years on….a quarter of a century since this album was released! So fresh and so clean is just that. As contemporary sounding as when it was released with its simple infectious hook. Ms Jackson is just a classic track which only a fool wouldn’t like. Yes a lot of the lyrics are fairly familiar and at times fairly route one (see I’ll call before i Cum) but Andre and Big Boi’s charm endure these dont grate like a lot of older rap music does. B.O.B showcases how brilliant both are in terms of fast paced delivery but maintains that inherent catchiness that runs throughout this album Would probably be 4.5/5 for me but mot quite a 5 so will have to settle for a 4

Another classic pull! And just 3 days after its 25th anniversary I was a huge fan of Outkast's earlier albums when I was in college so this one slipped past my radar beyond the smash hits (and there are many). I was glad to give this one the proper attention it deserves! Although it still does not top Superplayalistic or Aquemini in my book. What can I say that others haven't about Andre 3000 and Big Boi's synergy... My favorite things about Outkast are the production, the delivery, and their perfect balance of storytelling while also not taking themselves too seriously. But I still draw the line a bit on the crazy sex references, as was the time and fashion I suppose. Standout tracks (beyond the majors) are: Spaghetti Junction, Humble Mumble, and Toilet Tisha "They say a computer could do my job better than I could!?" all too relevant 25 years later

Wow! Never heard this all the way through before, the beats are amazing but what really stands out to me is the fucking hooks. BEST hook writing from a rapper/rap group ever like wow wow wow. I don’t love every track tbh so I’m feeling more 4.5 on this but maybe on another listen I’d give it a 5.

Thank goodness. Finally a good freaking album.

Classic

I think I have a new favorite hip hop album, this was an amazing listen. After Ms. Jackson I was moving and at Bombs Over Baghdad I was dancing on top of my desk at work. Probably too long but this was a blast.

For the most part I vibed with this one. It brought some much needed funk to my long drive.

A transcendental funk fantasia. It may hang around a little (very little) too long but damn is this a wildly ebullient ride. Bangers, experiments, interludes. It's all here and it all works.

Love albums with great hits but also songs that go to much deeper and weirder places than the hits.

Genre defining album, it definitely started the southern rap boom. This was huge in 11th grade for me, everyone was singing BOB and Ms Jackson

how can i say no to Outkast....

Ms. Jackson es mucho mejor que Hey ya!, y Stankonia es su mejor álbum. Esto es lo que deberían haber hecho los Arrested Development de no haber quedado parados en su debut. Un disco retrofuturista, con letras de compromiso social aún vigentes. Destacan Humble Mumble (con su ya entonces expareja Erykah Badu ), So fresh, so clean, la frenética BOB, Toilet Tishay esa maravilla que es Slum Beautiful con Cee Lo Green.

This was great. Big sucka for funk-story-album-with-meaningful-life-messages. Deep love for all the tracks I already heard, never listened to the album.

yup
