OutKast
At a time when experimentation is taboo in most overground rap, that's all Outkast seem intent on executing. Firstly, the double CD Speakerboxxx/The Love Below has no cohesive link, other than the fact that it sounds like a pair of solo albums stitched together to demonstrate exactly how Andre's yin works to augment Big Boi's yang. Andre 3000's The Love Below disc rates as the more eclectic of the two, given that, on it, he's turned in his emcee credentials to become a full-on funk-soul-jazz vocalist who mostly sings about items of love ("Happy Valentine's Day"), carnal lust ("Spread") and female adoration ("Prototype"). Minus the big band schmaltz of "Love ...

Artist:
Ludacris
Think what you want about Ludacris, but no one can deny that he is hip-hop's king of choruses. Luda's hooks are big, brassy, and loud; they're tailor-made for club crowds and radio programmers.

Artist:
Outkast
With their fourth-album, Outkast invoke the rebel Southern spirit to full effect. Realising there is something rotten in the state of hip hop, the Atlantan local heroes have staked out their own territory, Stankonia, a Utopian republic representing the best of the Dirty South. As if in tribute to Funkadelic's America Eats Its Young , the album cover finds Dre and Big Boi staring out in front of a black and white stars and stripes. Inside they waste no time in revealing their radical agenda. "Don't everyone like the smell of gasoline?" hollers Andre 3000 on opener "Gasoline Dreams", as he sets fire to the constitution over a scorching electric guitar. The single "B....
