Since some of you have already forgotten, Andre3000 is the man and will remain so, until Prince can do a consistent album of brilliant music like this. Prince is doing better, but Andre is the true genius for now.

This will remain the album for a long time to come. Classic music for this or any other age. Like the best Prince, but with a great sense of humor and musical chops up the ass. The fucking jazz piano is mind bending. He does find great musicians.

This will remain the shit ya'all. Hey Yahhhhh.

Andy, you usually love even bad Prince, what happened?..lol

True. Roses beats anything on 3121

lol i love roses But the thing is "Andre" knows what he is doing, he knows what audience is listening to his music, where I don't believe prince does..and plus prince should NOT!! i repeat should not be producing his next album!

haha U not into Big boi's side?

Before all the flamers get here, Yes, THE LOVE BELOW ROCKS! I love it still.

Big Boi is unlistenable.

lol good we can agree on sumthing

LOL
Yeah Andre and his three chords.

O k kkkkk kay.

An album he could never perform live, becasue he did not write the songs.


OKAY

Andre aint seeing nothing on 3121.

He prob got a boot, looking for ways to bite Lolita.

I agree. It's a great rainy day album, too.

"Roses" really grew on me after all the hype faded away.


typo edit.

Dude , have you even heard 3121 , yet ?
Better listen to it first before you start to talk crap like that !
The Love Below is good , but there's no comparison
[Edited 3/6/06 20:13pm]

The Love Below is a masterpiece, 3121 is only good.

"Roses" sucks donkey balls. I was actually kind of underwhelmed by The Love Below when I first heard it after all of its hype, but it is solid for the most part.

Let me just say that an album with nice songs like "Hey Ya!," "Happy Valentine's Day," "She Lives In My Lap" and the outstanding "Prototype" will always "listen" well over time.

However comma. I haven't heard the studio version of "Fury," but the live version I heard overwhelms almost all of TLB put together.

TLB is probably the more "relevant" album for its time, just as Purple Rain and SOTT were for its time.

But let's be clear. 'Dre ain't Prince.

Even the most Prince fans (including myself) are fully aware of the depth of Prince's talent. We know what "Dre can do. And what he can do is pretty doggone good. But he's nowhere near P, who has been "holding back" for a while (IMHO).

i thought this was a really great album. "she's Alive" "Dracula's Wedding" "Pink & Blue" "Love and War" really great stuff. i'm not a big fan of "good day good sir" never really got what that was about "happy Valentines day" is funky!

Agreed. I like 'Dre and TLB is a fun album, but he's nowhere near Prince. Not even close.

2Freaky, you know you just tryin' to get people riled up because 3121 is about to drop. Plus, half the stuff on TLB was inspired by Prince, so why should he feel threatened? It's almost like Michael Jordan being threatened by LeBron James, only Prince is still very much in the game.

When I finally heard The Love Below I really wasn't impressed. The songs already mentioned were pretty good I admit but I didn't feel that it was earth shattering but I didn't think it was really that awesome. Maybe the whole set Speakerboxxx/TLB for hip hop was groundbreaking but outside of that it was okay. Andre is definitely talented but I can't call him genius just yet.

Dude can't even get his guitar in tune

Ofcourse i've listened to the album, been playing it for the past too days, just embassrring!!

andykeen said:

In your next message, try spelling the word "embarrassing" correctly.

andykeen said:

I really like it
I haven't heard anybody saying that , apart from you

Dewrede said:

I just feel its prince tryying to be hip, like in the early 90's, but it aint work.....some of the vocals are soo bad its unbelieveble, and production there are 4 somes i love, the rest are just but hey each to their own!

no bad vocals in any of the songs imo

I didn't even listen to this album until about 2 months ago, and I really couldn't understand the hype. I didn't like it at all.

Dewrede said:

Haven't U heard "fury" that is sum lazy shit vocals there, and "Incense And Candles" those vocals were cool about 8 years ago! Maybe the album i downloaded sounds nothing like the CD version, fingers crossed anyway!

andykeen said:

This song is really crap IMO. It sounds like something J. Lo would sing.

Not keen on that song either , but i like all the rest
