Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik is remembered as the South-got-something-to-say mission statement, Aquemini as their godhead, but between those two is one of Southern rap’s true stunners. Andre 3000 and Big Boi were already comfortable in their contrasting power/spiritualism dichotomy, so they slip into Organized Noize’s noir-soul bass-rattlers like the velvet bench seat of a classic land yacht and glide into an Afrofuture as anxious as it is uplifting. You may die, but if the afterlife sounds like this, heaven is real.
