One of the most original takes on the concept of an album on our shelves. Two completely contradictory records that perfectly sum up the split personality known as OutKast. Big Boi knocks us over again and again with socially conscious rap mixed with straight up Dirty South party bangers and a stellar line-up (Lil Jon, Killer Mike and Jay Z all feature). Andre 3000’s sexual exploration into p-funk inspired R&B, 60’s pop and curvaceous jazz melodies is tantalising. That’s two essentials for the price of one.
