Hip hop.
This review is for Speakerboxxx only. To me, that's the best of the two albums. While truly original in its associations of vocals and beats, its originality never becomes its weakness.
Big Boi clearly knew where to use generous contributions to heighten good old hip hop and where to curb that originality to let the ear actually appreciate the music.
Musically, the result is an interesting work. As a whole it works because Big Boi is there to ensure an often researched lyrical work and stylish vocal interventions that recall the hollers of funk and the melodious togetherness of old r'n'b. At the very least, it'll get you to shake your head in rhythm.
"The rooster," "Unhappy," "The way you move" and "Last call" are the most noticeable tracks, with "The rooster" standing out as a pure lyrical effort. As for "Bowtie", it's got to be one of the best hip-hop songs ever! Only weakness: the interludes, typical annoyances of hip-hop and rap albums.
