Actually it was the writers ended suing her cause they wasn’t credited. 50 wrote that album and banged from beginning to end.
And no one thought the Big Boi half was better than GRODT. It’s moments like these where I have to stare at theColi crazy. Bro said “maybe it’s because I was in ATL” unironically as if he realizes in his head that GRODT was clearly the biggest album the year it dropped and created the only rapper doing numbers anywhere near Eminem. But because it holds some sort of personal connection to him he can’t be objective. Speakerbox was diamond because it was a double album - it sold 5 million actually. GRODT outsold it by millions of copies. This isn’t a serious discussion as far as how large each album was and what it did for pop culture.
Like what the fukk are we talking about? In no universe was any rap album in that timeframe bigger and the “Andre” part of that album is why it won. It followed the same theme of Miseducation, which exists to this day - straight up rap album has never won AOTY. If the “rap” on that album was the focal point they would not have AOTY at that juncture. We have a 30 year sample size.
Grodt was more impactful in the street than The Love Below, but The Love Below was much better...
popularity =/= quality
Grodt shouldn't even have received a nomination, thats at best a 6.5 or 7/10 album lol, only classic because of its impact (like 50 cent been saying, everyone was dressing like 50 in the streets)...it was never considered as a masterpiece quality wise.

WHY DO THE KBOTSHAVE THEIR SIGHTS SET ON 50 NOW?
He's already the huge favorite
WATCH KENDRICK
WIN AOTY IN 2026
Its highly acclaimed, highly successful, had the most #1 hits (and for a long time)...there's no other choice than GNX so far.
Album legitimately had 4 tracks with motion.When did hip hop fans start hyping up Speakerboxxx/love below like thatAlbum sold well due to radio play but I distinctly remember hip hop fans (and OutKast fans in particular) not fukking with it at all when it came out, aside from singles
Hey yaaa
I like the way you move
She lives in my lap
Prototype
Those are the only songs played by anyone.
Despite that, the feeling was we saw outkast break up in real time. That's why it won.

I’ll say 04 off the strength of Down With The King.
I like Trap Muzik more Urban Legend.
U could also debate 06 too since that was T.I’s year.
That situation with the guns ruined his momentum.
I still liked T.I vs T.I.P though
