Love Below has too many skits and songs I skip. It makes sense that it's an Outkast album but 2 separate albums.

I'm assuming the topic is supposed to be "Which do you like better?"
I like both, but from a Hip Hop standpoint, Speakerboxx is clearly better. It's the closes to getting a true Outkast album. The only thing it was missing was Dre.
The Love Below was a cool album for what it was, and if Dre had just released it as a standalone solo album, it would have been fine, basically in the same vein as Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in that it's a Hip Hop inspired album, but not really Hip Hop.

Big Boi’s side of the album.

the skits are the worst part of it. I can handle 3k singing instead of rapping, but I don't need a buncha skits

It's kinda funny because I remember when SB/TLB dropped and the topic on the IC made it seem like SB was trash and TLB was some monumental masterpiece.

Speakerboxxx has 6 skits / interludes and maybe 3 and a half good songs (which includes the classic singles)
The Love Below was far superior and I feel it receives backlash in retrospect because people need Speakerboxxx to be better than it was to maintain the narrative that Big Boi, while still amazing, is closer to 3000 than he actually is.
