Hot take: Speakerboxxx is a classic and better than the Love Below

[THE 101]

What albums specifically do you consider the superior music he’s drawing from

A lot of Prince (Around the World in a Day especially), Parliament Funkadelic, Shuggie Otis' Inspiration Information, some of Miles Davis' 70s fusion stuff

I like the album and it's strength is hearing all these influences mixed together but I think it's still at its best when he still has one foot in hip hop like on Spread

 

[African Peasant]

The Love is a classic because that's the one people will remember in the future.

 

[Turbulent]

I remember preferring the love below just by a little bit but i felt like speakerboxx was underrated

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

Facts. But TLB was necessary for the genre imo.

I agree, but one is straight Rap and the other is Alternative:
