DanAJun 24, 200710Simply 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.

DizzleAug 26, 20042The 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.

AnthonyfuckyouniggerApr 26, 20040This 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.

MichaelK.Sep 24, 200110I have been hooked on outkast from the first time I saw their Southernplayalistic video. They blend spirituality with carnality and get reality.

MarcDec 4, 2002396! Give me a break. Ever watched these guys live? Stankonia is at least an effective adjective to describe them

Nov 16, 201010There 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.

SimonMSep 2, 200510Brilliant 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.

LauraJ.Jun 20, 200110this album is so hot!!! i bought it originally for the song "So fresh, So clean" but i listened to the whole thing and i was amazed!! keep it up!

JeffD.May 9, 20028It's great, but not *that* great. It's no Aquemini.

NateMNov 2, 20039An Instant Hip-Hop Classic! You cannot be a true hip-hop afficianado withouth this album in your collection.

RaoulDMar 6, 20039The 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."

FartmasterFlexJun 25, 200310This album changed my views on rap. It showed a more intelligent and interesting side of rap. It's an all around good album.

logunblowmeDec 27, 20049Not as good as southernplayalisticcaddilacmuzic or aquimeni but damn close. Good shit.

Member27Jun 24, 200410Its a little disappointing (to me at least) to see where OutKast have been going lately, but Stankonia represents Dre and Big Boi at their absolute best. Its an album that is incredibly daring in its philosophy and execution, but ultimately more than sucessful. I cant see any reason why this album will not go down as a classic.

AlexYupp!!!Jun 26, 20059This is a great album besides a few bad tracks such as "we luv deez hoez" and "snappin & trappin"... but songs like "B.O.B.", "Stankonia (Stanklove)", "Slum Beautiful", "Humble Mumble", "Ms. Jackson", "So Fresh, So Clean" and "Gasoline Dreams" are good enough that these tracks barely matter.

JeremyJ.Jun 3, 200510This album is simply genius. If you think otherwise, you are obviously in denial. It's not weird, it's innovative. It's something new and different. Hip hop is more than pop them thangs and spin them rims. Anyone who took hip hop seriously before Eminem knows this.

Stankonia reeks of artful ambition rendered with impeccable skill -- or as one song title so concisely has it, ''So Fresh, So Clean.''
-
Experienced, 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]
