4. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Released: September 23, 2003
Every album in Outkast’s catalog represents a time in the group’s career. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is no different. In 2003, Outkast were already being hailed by critics and fans alike, but it was this album (albums?) that proved that everybody were in agreement. Not only did it become the second Hip-Hop album to win the Grammy award for “Album of the Year”, it also went on to sell over 11 millions albums in the United States alone. And while it’s Outkast’s highest seller, it may have also marked the trend of seeing Andre 3000 & Big Boi putting out separate projects. Still, The Love Below & Speakerboxxx both contained great music and this is the album most of the general public knows Outkast for. Hey ya! – B-Easy
