ANDRE PLEASE RAP PLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE!!!!!!!!! HIS FLOW IS ON TARGET HIS DELIVERY PRECISE. ANDRE 3000 IN MY BOOK IS IN THE TOP 10 MC'S OF ALL TIME. I AM SAD TO SAY AS AN DIE HARD OUTKAST FAN THAT THIS ALBUM IS COMPLETE GARBAGE. DO NOT BUY IT UNLESS YOU ENJOYED THE LOVE BELOW. ANDRE I AM AN DIVERSE MUSIC LOVER IF YOU WERE A GOOD SINGER I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO JUMP ON YOUR SINGING BANDWAGON, BUT UNFORNUTLEY YOU CANT SING YOUR WAY OUT OF A BOOT IF THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE ON THE HEEL. PLEASE I IMPLORE YOU TO GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS AND RAP,RAP,RAP. IT IS YOUR GOD GIVEN TALENT AND YOU HAVE ABANDONED IT.
GREAT!!!!!
For those that think this album is no good, open your mind!It's an ingenious album!. This is by far their best album!Unique in a way that they are known for.
"Greatest Show On Earth" music is Inconsistent with the Movie
The horns in the movie made that song stand out like no other with power and BRAVO, and made me designate this song as the best I have ever heard, over all the rests. I recently purchased an "Idlewild" CD, the explicit music version of the show "Idlewild", specifically for the song "The Greatest Show on Earth" because, SPECIFICALLY, OF THE HORNS!!!!!!! BUT, (hint, hint, hint), when I bought the CD the song did not feature any HORNS!!!!! in the song "The Greatest Show on Earth". Yes, though, of course, the singer and other music, in the song, rocked too! The singer was great in that laid back, sophisticated style of genre play. She gave significance to being alive in a world of prejudice, hate, and suffering. But, again, though, the horns brought life to the song like beer (or fresh water for those of us who do not drink} running out of a rock on the side of a mountain. The horns made the song ROCK SOLID!!!!! The song JAMMED FOR ALL TIME SAKE!!!! That's in the movie, though. But when I listened to the CD there are no HORNS in that song; at least none that I can hear. Needless to say, I was very, totally, boiling, disappointed. In addition, guys, you also cut the song short; toooooo short. As it was getting ready to take off, it blahs out, like a mouse slamming into a wall!!!! The rest of the CD is good, though. But man, I'm telling you, the CD suffers and limps without the HORNS in the song of "The Greatest Show on Earth". I think Outkast knew this and just ripped everybody off!!! Bass saxophones, tenor saxophones, and trombones and trumpets (whatever they were) ROCKKKKEDD in the movie, but not on the CD. I won't buy another CD by Outkast again.
Earl.
A real diappointment.
I never though I would even be using the words 'worst' and 'OutKast' in the same conversation. This is by far OutKast's worst album. Matter of fact, this was their only bad album. I am a die-hard outkast fan. Andre 3000 is my idol. However, I have to admit this album sux. I can't believe that Kast would even put out something of such low quality. They must of had a contract obligation to fulfil or something. I knew it would sound different because after all, it is an OutKast album, but damn, this Idlewild album sounds horrible.
Not they're best work but certainly not they're worst
Its been a while since Ive heard Andre and Big Boi on the same tracks. Continuing after the success of Speakerboxxx/Love Below is Idlewild. This CD has a few of them on the same songs. First up is Mighty'O which, when I heard it at the time, I thought that the old 'Kast was back. Then after that song there was Big Boi and Dre going solo again. They get back together to do Hollywood Divorce with Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg( great verses by everyone on that one!), and they do 1 more together from the movie which I liked but cant remember the name of it. I loved the singing and all the jazz inspired tunes but what I really want,what I think everyone else wants is Andre Benjamin to come back to being a full time MC. The rap game needs him to spit knowledge to these kids. Hopefully the next album he will.
