Don't like rap music
Not for me
Maybe it’s good, or maybe not, but I do not like hip hop. Tried listening, but no way can I tolerate over 2 hours of this.
Me no like
Skipped through this one in a hurry. Life is too short to listen to bad music.
I'm not a fan of hip hop or rap so it was destined to fail for me
I mean, Hey Ya can't make an entire Album.
Not putting myself through the pain of over 2hrs for a hip hop album
Frustrating opening number with 'Speakerboxx'. Immediately sounds very reminiscent of much newer music - as in, they sound influential, but I really don't like that influence. There's some jazziness to it, though, that might be a bit charming? First impression of the first single, GhettoMusick, is that it is horrible. The genre is alienating to me.
Didn’t care for this.
Was ok. Got boring
No
Other than The Way You Move, I say, no my genre.
Starts off sounding like the record's stuck. Which is weird, because I'm listening to it on youtube, and I'm *pretty* sure they don't use records or even tape. These gentlemen are more than a little misogynistic and racist. They also appear to be materialistic. I'm not fond of those traits.
probably not good
bof
Bad
Hip hop once again. I only listened to it briefly. There were actually a few melodies that seemed interesting. Beyond that, I only heard the usual gangsta chatter and didn't feel like getting into it any further. 1/5
Hard to give this anything but a one! Double album and only one song of interest! Just not my thing - I tried but not for me!
No va
2 hours? 40 tracks? They have too much time and not enough talent. Absolute rubbish.
de fast forward knop heeft overuren gedraaid
Passo facil. Nao consigo godtar de rap, ja que se trsta de um tipo de som muito de nicho, de um grupo de pessoas e somente americano. Nao comunica nada comigo e exige, para apreciaçao completa da música, que se tenha muita contextualizaçao e conhecimento da língua inglesa e gírias. Não é global, não é comigo. É para o nicho
Nope.
Nope
This record really irritated me. I thought I knew 'hey ya' was by them so when I got really bored by it I thought I'd check the track listing. Track 28??? I'm not listening to 27 tracks I can't stand to listen to one I know I can't stand.
I couldn't, then I didn't.
Two hours is two hours too many. Second half fine but fuck this
Well, this album has one of my most hated songs of all time on it. Let's see how this goes. This is just rather terrible. I'm down to Behold a Lady and I'm done I'm throwing in the towel
Vulgarity and a man with a gun ready to kill on the cover. NO THANKS
no.
I tapped out at “swimming in the fallopian/of an Ethiopian”
STUPID. Like a three ring circus mashed with a fun house of mirrors. Way too long, Oh Yeah one good song. Manic - just all over the place. Did you see the midget on a unicycle? That was a difficult 2 hrs 15 minutes… (0.7*s)
Of the Outkast pair, I usually prefer Andre for his artistic abilities and skills but not the case with this album. Disc 1, Big Boi stuck to his norm and it was fine. Disc 2 was god awful. Other than a few songs, I was left shaking my head. Andre let his exploration get the better of him. Way too self indulgent and ultimately just bad. Disc taking rating way down.
Couldn't get into this.... Unable to finish....
Vraiment pas mon genre. Ai pas pu écouter plus que quelques chansons.
NO RAP!!!
I tried to listen to this, got thru about 6 songs.. it sounds layered and complex in a rappy-way, so I give them credit for technique and creativity, but it just doesn't jive with my soul. 2 stars for effort.
He escuchado 3 temas, y lo he quitado. No es para mi...
Nope
Not good
GhettoMuzak is a try-hard Bran Van 3000 track, but doesn't do it well. Unhappy makes me unhappy. Things do start to pick up with bowtie. I've now got as far as "church" (which I dislike enough to snap me from whatever lull I was in) and I'm looking at the remaining hour and a half with some dread. Bamboo is genuinely fucking terrible. Skip. In fact, I think I might skip the whole of the rest of Volume 1 (Speakerboxx?) because it appears to be an absolute chore. Sorry Big Boi - you're not getting a high vote for this. Having skipped through the last bit of Speakerboxx, it does seem that volume 2 (the love below) is more appealing. I quite like the crooning and freeform jazziness of Love Hater, but there is a meandering lack of direction that I don't like to what follows. There's a couple of really great tracks in The Love Below but for 2¼ hours worth of album, that is absolutely not enough justify having to commit to 2¼ hours of album. In the end, I've bailed. It's a Saturday afternoon, I've nothing in particular I need to do other than drink wine and listen to music, and I could do without the music being this. Of course. This was released in 2003. That explains it.
Did not like it at all. Except „Hey Ya!“ there was no noteworthy song on this album.
As a professed non-fan of hip-hop, Speakerboxxx sounds chaotic, non-sequiturial and all over the place to me. According to Wikipedia this is supposed to be the consistent half though? After half of the annoying Speakerboxxx album, I skipped the rest to get to The Love Below and well... that one is pretty much just unlistenably annoying. Hey Ya! is a classic at this point and it is kind of cool, although I absolutely hated it back when it was all over the airwaves in 2003. Maybe I just don't 'get it'. But both sides of the double album sound horrendous to me.
Not my usual kind of music. But glad to listen anyway
Nine months before this album was promoted or released I had a ripped mp3 file of Hey Ya. I was a big fan of Outkast since ATLiens. My favourite album was Aquemini. Stankonia was good, but not what wanted or expected to hear. Nevertheless it was good. I was growing out of Hip Hop around this time in 2003. Even Jay Z was supposedly retiring from the genre, and did in fact pretend to retire with the Black Album, 2 months after Speakerboxxx/ Love Below was released. So, by the time the album in question was released I had played Hey Ya to death and that song was inescapable for another year. Today I listened to this album in its entirety for the first time since the week it was released. Why have I only listened to this album twice, start to finish, since 2003? Well, turns out I have a lot of the same feelings about this record I had in 2003. I think it’s OutKasts worst record. Speakerboxxx on its own was surprisingly good this time around. Big Boi held his end down. Probably hard for him to do, too. Considering Andre decided he wanted to do his own thing. Although, it should be trimmed 5-6 songs or skits to make it great. Andres album sucks. Period. It sounds like he wanted to make a screenplay but for some reason just recorded the audio. It’s like he purposely does wild, stupid shit (like his new flute album) and people eat it up for some reason. There’s a small handful of songs on The Love Below that are good. Hey Ya is obviously timeless. 2 hours and 15 mins…. Seriously…. This album has way too much fat.
Not my kind of music....
Absolutely crap
What genre is this? Wikipedia says that the genre is Southern Hip Hop / Funk / Pop / Jazz-Funk / Avant-Soul / Progressive Rap which suggests to me that they don't know either! The album is boring and confusing - I just don't get it.
Ugh
meh. One hit song but it didn't interest me in the rest.
Oh nooo
Im a big hiphop fan but I couldnt listen to this , 2 songs and im out
no
Hey ya är fantastisk men det är också den enda låten av de 40. Det duger ju förstås inte.
Blir alltid sur når folk (nora) sette på outkast på fest
Just no!! Sorry not my cup of tea at all.
This is the angriest this project has made me. I want the 2 and a half hours of my life back that have been wasted listening to this self-indulgent garbage.
Not for me, please don’t send anymore. I have only been on this site a week and already I’ve been sent two albums by OutKast.
Getting through this was one of the worst listening experiences I have had. Too long, too dull. How this was ever a hit album, I have no idea
vilken skit
Did not like. I think probably the first bit was OK but the second half of the album is horrible.
Definition of annoying. Looney Tunes melodies with Chip n' Dale vocals mixed with gangsta rap. There are few bangers but 90% of the album is hard to stomach. Lots of interludes which bring really nothing and filler tracks that could be put in B-sides. Zero cohesion between the tracks, at least musically. Also, "Hey Ya!" is overrated. Best song: Reset (great beat, plus there's Cee-Lo on it) Worst song: Vibrate (everything about this is annoying, plus it lasts over 6 minutes for whatever reason)
2/5 for the music. Subtract 1 point for excessive length. Putting two separate albums together as one is rarely a good move.
yli 2 tuntinen kollaasi biiseistä jotka ei just ihan vaan oikeen hittaa ollenkaan+interludeja muutama. andren osio pikkasen parempi kuin big boi ...varmaan klassikko influentiaalinen albumi, ymmärtäisin täysin jos annettaan korkeaa arvosanhaa.. ideoita löytyy, yrityksestä ei voi valittaa...rogeresque... ykköstä tulee silti heh... my favorite thing kiva instru mental versio kuuluisasta hunmpasta...kertoo jotain hip hop albumista kun parhaassa biisissä pysytään hiljaa heh....drumnbassesque... jos ei sitä lasketa niin spread paras
The only song you actually can listen to is hey ya
Not really my kind of music.
Listened Before? N Just... AWFUL. Why is this on this list? These guys are literally two-hit wonders, and this album has 39 tracks????? NO! Absolutely not. It was terrible and I couldn't even finish it. Added to Library? HAHAHAHAH NO Songs added to playlist: Hey Ya (just because I had to)
Only one good song
This is 2 albums. Both hip hop. Album 1 is Gangsta Rap trash. Album 2 is a little bit better than anticipated, as it contains Jazz and Soul elements, and their probably most known song Hey Ya. Album 1: 0.5/5 Album 2: 1.5/5 Final Score: 1/5
I think that the way you rate an album sometimes has outside influences. For instance last night I hardly got any sleep at all, however this pile of trash would still receive less than one star had I slept for a week. Over 2 hours of garbage. No thanks and never again.
Chaotic, enjoyed the singles more than the album tracks. Not sure when this would be good to listen too - too all over the place for walks/runs, possibly good for background music when doing weights. Definitely too busy for when working.
Not for me! Too racially motivated and crass.
Not good
Having only heard (and not enjoying) Hey Ya, I wasn’t sure if I wasn’t a fan of just that song or OutKast. Now I know I’m not a fan of OutKast.
Not my type of music. Also, 2h is too damn long.
Repeat from other list.
Sounds very dated and far far far too long...maybe it's just not my thing...
Apart from "Bust" didn't like any other songs. Was a hard listen due to the length of the album(s)
Not my case. And though I did enjoy some tracks, the album was just TOO DAMN LONG :D
nope nope nope
Nope
The only thing this made album me feel was boredom. Also his voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.
40 músicas? mais de 2h??? quem escolhe os albuns desse livro?? QUEM TEM 2H DO DIA PRA OUVIR MÚSICA RUIM???
A couple of ok songs but didn't enjoy the vast majority of tracks
Not my cup of tea.
Didn't even bother the picture says it all!
Rap music is not my cup of tea. It was tolerable in gta san andreas but as a standalone nope. Not at all
Not my type of music at all
Nope. Clearly not anything I need to have or listen to ever.
