Description
The album "Stankonia" is a street-smart rap album with a heavy electric guitar sound. It is full of freaks, poets, preachers, and pimps, and it messes with the listener's head.
Imagine if the ghetto got electrified. That's
Stankonia, an album of street smarts doused with gasoline and ready to burn. When a thundering electric guitar collides with a relentless drumbeat on the molten "Gasoline Dreams," it dominates mind and body, setting the tone for the album. Dre and Big Boi spin a world of freaks, poets, preachers, and pimps, but most importantly, possibilities. This music messes with your head.
