They dropped another one a week ago the same day as the aquemini vinyl drop (i copped the dopalicious vinyl:wow:)

but the speakerboxxx/love below one they dropped last week was a platinum and pearl colored vinyl
I just checked the Outkast website they still have some copies of that version.
The red and pink version is sold out though

I still remember it leaking and "A Day In The Life of Benjamin Andre" having skips in it. I remember copping the CD from On Cue on release day along with Bubba Sparxxx's Deliverance. It was so much music on Speakerboxxx/Love Below, it was a lot to take in. Big Boi's Speakerboxxx sounded like the next Outkast album while Love Below sounded like something entirely different. Speakerboxxx should have established Big as an elite MC because he was that on Speakerboxxx.

Yes indeed
The Sir Lucious album was probably the best post Stankonia projects

808s and Heartbreak is the son of The Love Below, sonically and content wise

The dark tone and the confessions of a man struggling with finding/keeping love. The only real difference between the two is The Love Below is optimistic while 808s is cynical

The Love Below influenced 808s, and 808s changed the entire landscape of music. Not to mention the fact that 808s created Drake

Dap and rep
The Love Below also birthed the alt-R&B sound ( ex. Frank Ocean)

I don't consume a lot of R&B outside of the early 2000s so this never occurred to me but it definitely makes sense:jbhmm:

Again when you look at the sonic darkness on Love Below/808s and Drake basically emulating 3K/Ye and the Timbaland/Aaliyah style of dark R&B that Weekend and Frank happened to be doing in the early 2010s yea it lines up:ehh:
