For nearly ten years, Andre 3000 and Big Boi have grown from underground to mainstream commercial hit makers. I bought this album on the strength of their new split album "Speakerboxx/The Love Below" and the memories of the songs from the Stankonia record.
Now this CD is not necessarily a greatest hits record, instead it refreshes those who have followed them from the days of "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik" right up to the new millenium. I haven't really followed Outkast for that long, but i think they have the ability to make a southern funky vibe sound like it was made for radio waves.
Granted some songs here will not appeal if your not into slow paced beats, and my opinion "Aquemini" is very boring track with a chorus that makes you snore, but the rest is just brilliant.
Witness the the hooky "Ms Jackson" and the bass/drum song "B.O.B" from the worldwide success "Stankonia" and songs from previous releases. My favourites have to be the new song "The Whole World" and the mainstream favourite "Ms Jackson".
Worth a listen if your a first time listener
