Comments

Andre's so tight yo.

Yeah, the Album feels pretty slick. It's a pretty versatile Album, most of it being just ridiculous, and you can kind of hear the theme of Modern Rap start to peak around hear, with "Ms. Jackson" apologizing to his girl's parents about the fact that they could totally break-up.

"Stankonia" is just a made up paradise of Rap, basically, where self-expression is legal or something. It's kind of weird and just sounds unhygienic, but hey, good music!

Even after awhile, the songs remain so unique, which really helps break through an Album. Sometimes you felt like the mixing got kind of lazy, and there was definitely some artistic decisions that ruined good songs, which can be dotted all over the place.
