{"product_id":"outkast-idlewild-2lp-pink-marble","title":"OutKast - Idlewild [2LP Pink Marble]","description":"\u003cp\u003ePink marble swirls suit Idlewild nicely, since OutKast's final studio album is a dressed-up, Prohibition-era fantasy spread across two LPs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2006 alongside the musical film of the same name, a 1930s Georgia tale starring André 3000 and Big Boi, the record swaps the Atlanta futurism of Stankonia and Speakerboxxx\/The Love Below for hot jazz, swing, jump blues and Delta grit, all filtered through hip-hop. It plays partly as a soundtrack and partly as a farewell, with the duo's diverging instincts on full display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Mighty 'O'\" updates Cab Calloway's call-and-response for a new century, and \"Morris Brown\", named for the Atlanta college, struts on marching-band brass with Scar and Sleepy Brown on the hooks. André strums and croons through \"Idlewild Blue (Don'tchu Worry 'Bout Me)\" like a ragged Delta bluesman, one of the album's loveliest left turns. Throughout, the production mixes vintage swing with modern low end, so it never feels like a costume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guest list adds to the feel of a sprawling variety show, with Janelle Monáe, Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne and Killer Mike all checking in between the interludes and skits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a swan song it is gloriously unwilling to play safe, and the double LP gives its sprawling running order, interludes and all, the room it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67761160880418,"sku":"199584599915","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/OutKast-Idlewild_2LP_Pink_Marble.jpg?v=1794306063","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/outkast-idlewild-2lp-pink-marble","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
