np: "bowtie" - big boi

holy shit. this is album of the year worthy right here. this is most likely the most out there and best album i've heard all year, especially Andre 3000's disc. at first i was digging on Big Boi's half as my favorite, but suddenly in the middle of the instrumental cover of the jazz standard "My Favorite Things", it hit me how damn amazing Andre's side is. funk, soul, gospel, jazz, techno, rock... it's all here. i wish i had the words to do this thing justice, but i don't see either disc leaving my rotation for a long, long time. easily the hip-hop album of 2003.
