DanAJun 24, 2007Simply put, Outkast gives us one of, if not the best Hip Hop album that's ever been created. Much of it is groundbreaking, while some tracks take cliche subject matter and make them compelling through Andre 3000 and Big Boi's insane lyrical talent.

Nov 16, 2010There really is no way to describe how amazing this album truly is, and the fact that someone has the nerve to say otherwise is crazy. It may sound like i am being self righteous or pretentious and I am, the cd allows that. It makes itself prevalent in every way. You don't like this, you don't like hip hop.

Sep 27, 2011Jesus this and my beautiful dark twisted fantasy are what you show someone to get into rap. Fantastic, not a single disappointment at all. Big boi and Andre are the best.

MichaelK.Sep 24, 2001I have been hooked on outkast from the first time I saw their Southernplayalistic video. They blend spirituality with carnality and get reality.

Mar 3, 2013Easily without a doubt the most creative album ever made. Nothing comes close to what Andre and Big Boi have created. Neo-soul, funk and obviously hip hop is all implemented and did justice

Nov 1, 2018I'm sorry Ms. Jackson but I am for real... -Song - a classic, Album - a classic. Favourite Songs: Spaghetti Junction and Humble Mumble. 10/10

Nov 21, 2010A decent album of material, and while it can't really compete with the Speakerboxxx/The Love Below double-alum that would follow, it is still much more interesting than most other hip hop from this era.

Apr 25, 2012As a casual listener, there are some classic tracks on Stankonia, but not every experiment works. It's impossible to listen to this record straight through from beginning to end. Download the best tracks - "B.O.B", "Ms. Jackson", "So Fresh, So Clean", "Red Velvet" - but avoid the album as a whole.

AnthonyfuckyouniggerApr 26, 2004This cd sucks major donkey dick. It is the absolute worst peice of crap I have ever listened to in my entire life. By the end of the album i was sticking knives into my eyes and pounding my head against the wall trying to get the songs out of my head. If you want to hear a good rap album, listen to Raising Hell, or The Eminem Show.

DizzleAug 26, 2004The most overrated album of the new millenium, period. Outkast made a weird album for the sake of being weird, while completely compromising any sense of quality hip-hop. Go get their earlier stuff, and try to forget this nightmare ever happened.

MarcDec 4, 200296! Give me a break. Ever watched these guys live? Stankonia is at least an effective adjective to describe them

ChrisR.Oct 6, 2007I dig Andre 3000. His sidekick is just dead wait though if you ask me.

PablosNerudasMay 13, 2003If you like this kind of music, I'm sure it's all very good. I personally thought it was pants - pretty derivative and ultimately without much soul. I'll give it a 5 because what do I know anyhow?

SimonMSep 2, 2005Brilliant album, it's really good and Dizzle, who gave it a 2 must not have listened to it. It's brilliant and i would recommend to most hip hop fans.

JeffD.May 9, 2002It's great, but not *that* great. It's no Aquemini.

NateMNov 2, 2003An Instant Hip-Hop Classic! You cannot be a true hip-hop afficianado withouth this album in your collection.

RaoulDMar 6, 2003The sad fact about most who hear this album _ fans and detractors _ is that they don't have a grasp of the intellectual irony dripping from Stankonia. And therefore, sadly, they can't fully appreciate it. It is much more than just "dope" or "phat."

logunblowmeDec 27, 2004Not as good as southernplayalisticcaddilacmuzic or aquimeni but damn close. Good shit.

Stankonia reeks of artful ambition rendered with impeccable skill -- or as one song title so concisely has it, ''So Fresh, So Clean.''
-
Alternative PressExperienced, acclaimed groups rarely make albums as bold and confrontational as Stankonia, because they have too much to lose. OutKast don't care.... The Atlanta duo coalesced the political and societal challenges of hip hop's past into what is one of the genre's most artistically unortodox releases so far. [12/2000, p.108]

Scattered among the jewels are shiny bits of glass that aren't as valuable as they might be.
