OutKast - Stankonia (CD)

 
The Atlanta-based critically acclaimed duo of Big Boi and Dre returns with yet another innovative contribution to hip-hop. Stankonia, an album borrowing its title from the group-owned recording studio, continues Outkast's tradition of delivering groundbreaking music. the two MCs cover topics that only they would rap about, over self-produced tracks that only they could make. songs like 'B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)' are in contrast to the current hip-hop scene, with its bass music background, while 'Ms. Jackson,' a dedication to a baby's momma's momma, sports a soulful melody in the tradition of Outkast's previous efforts. either way, Outkast still proves to be in its own elite class.
