Ok... I Copped SpeakerBoxx/The Love Below

I figure i liked the singles so much i might as well get it
I listened to SpeakerBoxx first
This is a real tight Rap album, probably the Tightest Since ATLiens (didn't like stankonia much, i thought the only prize was Misss. Jackson)
The opening Ghetto Musak which was like some Ghetto Techno ekctronika was a nice opening
The overall C.D. was what i'd expect from any Outkast C.D.
Fresh Beats and tight lyrics...
Not Much Andre though...

So we flip it to the love Below

And the Wierdness Began.....
not at all what i expected....

The intro was weird...
when lovehater i began i was convinced this album was gonna suck,
but then lovehater wasn't that bad
After the God Interlude, i was about to turn off the C.d.
Than Mr. Valentino Surprised me....
With a Funky Ass Beat...
When da F*ck did he learn how to play guitar?
Happy Valentines Day was Hott..., chorus was a little cheesy, but the beat was so funky
it got better from their but the highlights are

Valentines Day,Prototype,She lives in my lap, Rose, Behold a Lady, a day in the life of benjamin andre

Overall,
Andre's May be a poor song writer, a amateur guitarist
He's got some funky tunes...

and you know what?
For a rapper, he can carry a tune Pretty well

Overall Brilliant Album!

Andre's Love Below will stand as a classic 10 years+ from now. I dont feel it will dwindle in the time capsule, it is an everyday album and probably would still sound fresh 20 years from now just like Sign O The Times.

I think VIBRATE is very underrated and so is Pink & Blue.

I LOOVE The Love Below and it really caught me the fuck off guard.

Agreed. I like a lot of tracks on SpeakerBoxx, but it's got some filler tracks on it. As a whole, I think The Love Below is a better, more adventurous disc.

"The Love Below" is definitely a very strong album. Any rumours about a new one?

I liked Speakerboxx but I loved The Love Below. I put this on before Christmas and I fell in love with Love Below all over again. It will be remembered for a long time.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Hah! I've heard The Love Below from start to finish a few times but never bought it. It's Cameo's best album so far this decade -- Ohw.
