This might be a little bit of a cop out, consider that it is one behemoth of a rambling verse that occupies the track's entire almost five minute runtime. But on another hand, that is exactly what makes it spectacular.
Closing both his half of and the entire double disk project from the group, “A Life In the Day of Benjamin André (Incomplete)” is a poetic masterpiece that summarizes André’s life to a point, from making OutKast’s debut album with Big Boi and blowing up, to the stylistic change that was ATLiens, to meeting Erykah Badu. The (Incomplete) subtitle references André ending his verse before his story is complete. It's also worth mentioning that in contrast to the rest of The Love Below, this song is entirely rapped with no sung contribution from any artist. What a way to close it out.
Verse begins at: 0:02
Choice bar: W-w-well, yes and no. Yes, we were selling it, but no, it wasn't blow / Cook it in the basement, then move it at a show.
