OutKast's Idlewild is a wildly ambitious genre-hopping soundtrack to the duo's 2006 film, and this Asian import CD edition brings back their final album to date.
Set in the Prohibition-era South, the film starred André 3000 and Big Boi as a piano player and a club owner, and the music follows their lead. Swing, jazz, blues and vaudeville collide with Southern hip-hop and funk, as the pair push their famously split creative paths even further apart while still sharing one stage.
Big Boi brings the hard-hitting swagger. Mighty "O" flips a Cab Calloway-style call and response into a pulsing, modern banger, while Morris Brown, named after the Atlanta college, struts along with a full marching band and a rousing chorus. Hollywood Divorce gathers Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg for a sharp, sly posse cut.
André takes the stranger route, with Idlewild Blue (Don'tchu Worry 'Bout Me) adding a twangy, blues-soaked shuffle that sounds like a lost recording from a juke joint. Elsewhere he croons, scats and experiments with abandon, treating the record like a playground for every sound in his head.
Sprawling, eccentric and packed with ideas, Idlewild captures two restless artists refusing to repeat themselves, and it remains a fascinating, underrated final statement from one of hip-hop's most inventive groups.
