    Not one, but two people actually posted Speakerbox/The Unlistenable Drink Coaster Below--you dudes do realize that we're going back ten years here, which gives you two vastly superior Outkast albums to choose from, don't you?

    you funny Diz.

    I STILL listen to songs from that album. It was unfortunately the Last Great Wu album (as a group).


    RZA production fell the fuck off after this album.


    But then again, I don't like rap music.



    I remember the day it came out like it was yesterday. I remember buying 2 copies of the source with the W cover. Wu Tang was the soundtrack to everything for a minute there.
