Damn, I love these albums. Andre and Big Boi almost sound better solo than they do together.

I think Andre may be the only one to ever emulate Prince and actually do it well. He’s smoove. He Ya! is just one of those songs where the only way you could not feel it is if you were dead.

I love just about every track off Big Boi’s album as well.

Good stuff. Its not close to spectacular, but its fantasticly well.

Fantastically well? But I thought you said you were close to spectacular! 😉

These two CDs haven’t left our CD player since my husband and I bought them on Tuesday. I honestly don’t think there is a bad track on either CD and that’s something I can say about only a handful of albums. VERY addictive grooves and yes, he does that Prince thing quite well.

I love, _Hey Ya_, _Ghetto Musick_ and _The Way You Move_. Doesn’t come out here until next month though :(.

I might have to do some ordering.

Wait, I thought _Outkast_ was coming out with an album, but Andre and Big Boi just each put out solo albums on the same day? Is it a double disc or do you have to buy them seperately? Are they on each other’s tracks?

Yea, its a double disc album. Andre and Big Boi each get their own CD. I haven’t listened to all the songs so I don’t know if they are on each other’s tracks. I’m pretty sure one is all Andre and the other is all Big Boi.

I have been hearing great things and have been really tempted - now I think I may have to pull the trigger and get it.
