You can tell the changes between Outkast through each album, especially with Andre. I think they realised with Stankonia that that would be the album where they 'blew up' in terms of media coverage and all that. So the band had to do something to make themselves stand out from the crowd, obviously not thinking their ultra original music wasn't enough. I think Dre proved his point with Stankonia, so toned it down a lot more for Speakerboxxx/Love Below. He's now more stylish than crazy, at least in my eyes. Yes, he still wears clothes that no-one but him would wear, but it's now more of a self expression. And since Dre got into acting he's toned it down a LOT more. He's now almost :GASP!: normal...
