Outkast’s ‘Speakerboxxx/The Love Below’: 10 Years Later (Video)

Music News
Check out MTV’s editorial for the entire story.
The double-disc of solo albums from Big Boi (Speakerboxxx) and Andre 3000 (The Love Below) mixed the pair’s signature down-South hip-hop grooves with the purest evolution of their pop smarts for a once-in-a-career phenomenon that was both unstoppable and irresistible. Andre’s hit “Hey Ya” was the kind of mega-single that crossed over to every demo, as did Boi’s “The Way You Move,” pushing them to previously unimagined career heights.
On the 10th anniversary of the huge breakthrough — which won three Grammys, including Album of the Year — we spoke to Outkast and some of the people who worked on the albums to get a behind-the-scenes take on the making of the discs.

George Zimmerman’s Wife Doubts Her Husband’s Innocence
AllHipHop reports:
George Zimmerman’s seemingly impenetrable fortress of support seems to be a crumbling house of cards as his main supporter in the Trayvon Martin murder trial now has doubts of his innocence. Today (September 26th) George Zimmerman’s estranged wife speaks on George’s alleged assault of her father, his changed personality and his innocence in the Trayvon Martin murder trial.
Speaking with NBC’s Today, Shellie Zimmerman says George’s personality changed following his victory in the Trayvon Martin murder case and now she “really don’t know what he’s capable of.” This epiphany has led her to not only question her estranged husband’s current mental state but also some of the details regarding the night he murdered Trayvon Martin:
I’m conflicted on that. I believe the evidence, but this revelation in my life has really helped me to take the blinders off.
Shellie later stated that though she has doubts she believes George did not racially profile Travyon.
Shellie is currently attempting to divorce from her husband, however George’s whereabouts have become unknown since last week and consequently he has not been served with divorce papers.
