Stankonia: 2000 Rap Hits

We’re back to sing the praises of Outkast. After the smooth perfection of Aquemini, Andre and Big Boi dropped the at once massively accessible and obtusely futuristic Stankonia. You know “Ms. Jackson,” “B.O.B.,” and “So Fresh, So Clean,” all of which her major hits in 2000 (and far beyond). You know who else was huge in 2000? Ludacris and Nelly. Like, absurdly so. Matt talks those three artists and what their 2000 releases say about the present and future of hip-hop, then Tim decides which one is truly the Hot Shit.
