They were true entertainers who recognized each other’s skills and knew they could flourish together. Big and 3k stood out from their peers at Tri-Cities High School in East Point, Georgia. The two originally met in high school between classes and in the cafeteria, where singing and freestyling would take place. They were named Source Magazine’s best new Rap Group in ‘95, just a year after releasing their debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. According to Big Boi, radio host and Dallas, TX native DJ Greg Street (original article deleted by host site) was the mastermind who proposed Outkast release a double feature, “…actually one album, two CDs basically.” The first CD, Speakerboxxx features Big Boy, and The Love Below is the work of Andre 3000.īefore the 2000’s, Outkast was already shaking the music/rap game across the nation. The album woke its audience and demanded attention it was an honest, respectful voice from the South-pure hip-hop. In 2003, after years of success together with five previous studio albums, these musical geniuses released Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below with Arista Records. Together they make up the South’s one-and-only Outkast.
Two entirely different stories are portrayed in this album by Georgia’s Andre Lauren Benjamin (Andre 3000) and Antwan Andre Patton (Big Boi). On a single studio album, two artists split their musical talents to create a sonically pleasing, precise work of art.
