Sure, critics and detractors were not necessarily completely placated by the duoвЂ™s вЂњdouble albumвЂќ effort Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, but one cannot deny the albumвЂ™s popular success, which eclipsed the groupвЂ™s already renowned popularity. That success certainly facilitated the way for an off-the-wall project like Idlewild. But for a good duration of the groupвЂ™s career, OutKast has enjoyed unabashed success on all fronts.

Of course, itвЂ™s a contentious point to say that everything OutKast was always roses up until now. And though most hip-hop artists would kill to have an album like Idlewild as a career low-point, OutKast, given all their well-deserved critical and popular acclaim, can do much better than this. Idlewild, though just a soundtrack for the duoвЂ™s big screen vehicle of the same name (and therefore, somewhat non-canonical), essentially represents a low-point in the OutKast catalogue. In any case, I could probably attribute the diminishing goodwill solely to Idlewild, the latest release by them two dope boys in a Cadillac, but itвЂ™s only the most recent symptom of an aggregate situation. And besides, when it comes to OutKast, IвЂ™m always feeling hopeful. After all, IвЂ™m a perpetual optimist, even if I do wave the pessimistвЂ™s banner sometimes. Half-full, you notice, and not half-empty. ThereвЂ™s an imaginary cup inside my head, and it is filled with an imaginary amount of viscous fluid that represents the goodwill afforded by me to OutKast, built up over the years by virtue of a decade-long streak of hip-hop greatness.
