Probably not the hipster choice for best OutKast album (Aquemini? Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik?) but certainly the most popular and accessible. Ranging across genres, successors to Funkadelic Parliament; preferring original music to samples earns extra points, OutKast move Hip Hop forward with two versatile, original and talented rappers. At 70+ minutes the ambition is admirable but the choicest cuts appear early (Gasoline Dreams, So Fresh, So Clean, Ms Jackson, B.O.B) so the backend loses its way a little, and even OutKast aren't immune to the curse of the Hip Hop skit. Still, a refreshing, impressive and mostly enjoyable album.
