Outkast
By Tinni Poshida
OutKast’s latest release, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, is the best 2-for-1 money can buy, but there are some who seem concerned by the emergence of two very separate CDs, as if it were a bad thing. Andre denies any rivalry between himself and Big Boi, “I don’t think it is a competition because we’re not trying to fight to get into the same door. I think we have totally different vibes and they compliment each other.”
Realizing fans would be waiting for a rap/hip hop album from OutKast, Andre says he hadn’t really planned to include his “singing stuff,” saying, “I didn’t even want to put this out to OutKast people. I was just going to do it as a side project.” With the success of the double album and Andre’s hit single, “Hey Ya,” there are surely no regrets.
