Principally recorded at Stankonia Recording, Atlanta, Georgia.
STANKONIA won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "Ms. Jackson" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.
The Atlanta-based critically acclaimed duo of Big Boi and Dre returns with yet another innovative contribution to hip-hop. STANKONIA, an album borrowing its title from the group-owned recording studio, continues Outkast`s tradition of delivering groundbreaking music.
The two MCs cover topics that only they would rap about, over self-produced tracks that only they could make. Songs like "B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)" are in contrast to the current hip-hop scene, with its bass music background, while "Ms. Jackson," a dedication to a baby`s momma`s momma, sports a soulful melody in the tradition of Outkast`s previous efforts. Either way, Outkast still proves to be in its own elite class.
