Stankonia by Outkast
Stankonia is an album by Outkast, released in 2000. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 36 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Ms. Jackson”, on 13 lists with a best position of #30.
Stankonia, Outkast's fourth album, landed on LaFace and Arista on October 31, 2000, and it sounds like two Atlanta MCs hot-wiring every genre in the building. Big Boi and André 3000 cut it largely in Stankonia Studios, the Atlanta facility they had just bought, which meant no clock ticking, and they split production between their own Earthtone III team and longtime allies Organized Noize.
The follow-up to Aquemini goes wide: funk, rave, psychedelia, gospel and rock guitars all crash through a Dirty South frame, and "B.O.B." hits like a runaway train. André was drifting from straight rapping toward singing, which threw even his partner at first, and the lyrics ricochet from sex and politics to parenthood and soul-searching. "Ms. Jackson" became their first Hot 100 number one, and the album took Best Rap Album at the 44th Grammys.
