I'm always kind of surprised that Outkast are one of the more agreeable hip-hop acts for people who otherwise don't really like hip-hop. I think when it's on, this is a really good hip-hop album -- "B.O.B", "Gasoline Dreams", "Ms. Jackson" all fantastic. But, it's also kind of a mess with a lot of filler and pointless interludes that in no way warrant a 73 minute runtime. There's a great album in here somewhere, but as it stands, it's a 3.5.
