One of my FAVE albums from 00s





I know the latest clip is not from the album, but I thought I might as well throw it along with them for good measure,,,and anyway, If I remember correctly, I read that it was originally an outtake from the album.

I love that album, one of my favourite albums ever !

I had that album on repeat for a few weeks when I bought it in 2004 - I didn't listen to Speakerboxx nearly as much.
I prefer to listen to this album in its entirety but if I had to pick a favourite track, I'd say "She Lives In My Lap".

These are my top 3 from this album

its been so long since I listened to this album, gonna have to take a revisit as "she lives in my lap" sounds so good right now

thats my favorite track from that album. I couldn't take this CD out of my changer back then.

Oh, I love this album. Classic!

Great album indeed!

Not sure if Andre will be able to release comparable quality material ever again.

Is it true that "She Lives In My Lap" is about Erykah?

Dracula's Wedding is such an awesome track. Pretty funny too.

I love Happy Valentine's Day, Vibrate and Pink and Blue.

I love this album. Got me through some pretty dark & disturbing times too.

I'm not much of a rap fan but I bought this album shortly after it was released and I love it. It really seems like Andre was able to channel some prime era Prince on much of this disc. I try to listen to both discs as if it was one album and I gotta say that Speakerbox is pretty good too. I ended up getting all of their albums and for the most part I dig them but with The Love Below it seems like Andre really nailed it.

It's been a few years since I listened to this, I'm gonna have to dust it off and give it a spin.

The first hip hop able I'd bought in a LONG time and the last I'd be buying in a LONG time. All artists get inspired, but some get I.N.S.P.I.R.E.D!! And you can see that Andre had definitely been touched during this project.

I always skipped this song and haven't gotton the chance to REALLY listen to it untill your post

I can't believe I missed on it all these years

I absloutly LOVE the Funkadelic reference

i may be wrong but i think that is prince's scream at the end of SHE LIVES IN MY LAP from "GOD"

Love this album.... brilliant...

Yes oh yes...this opus brings back memories in 2004 as I played it the entire album front to back that year. The Love Below is one of those albums that has an indescribable quality to it as it has ambition and timelessness about it that no one but Dre 3000 could put on it. When I first heard Prototype, I almost pissed on myself as it sounded unlike anything on the radio back in 2003 and 04. She Lives In My Lap, Pink & Blue, Love Hater, Vibrate, She's Alive, Dracula's Wedding, Love In War and Spread all knocked me out. Hell even the hit singles Roses and Hey Ya! were catchy. Dre definitely outdid himself with this epic masterwork and I may also add that not that many millennium pop releases have been able to mix artistic creativity with mainstream sensibilities so effortlessly. Just excellent....

I dig all of OutKast's work.

"A Life in the Day of Benjamin Andre" is a classic.

Yeah me too. I play Aquemini probably once every week on my iPod, but I've been digging Idlewild a lot lately.

Stankonia was mind-blowing when I first got it as a Xmas present about ten years ago.

Is the film worth watching though? I'm kinda reluctant to check it out.

agree

Dope album! I remember reading that someone considered it the Prince album that he never made...

I love Prototype, She Lives in My Lap, Pink & Blue, and Take Off Your Cool.
