Outkast - Mainstream

[wshiwzwhln]

"Just as quick as you can say I wish I never did what I did, now face this bid..."

[PumaSweat]

This song HAS GOT to be the most prophetic song about Hip Hop in the music industry.

Second ONLY to "Stakes is High"

And both songs dropped in late 1996.

[igottotakeapiss]

fuck mainstream

[BDJRecords]

Sh*t i miss albums like this

[LGERALDD1]

This album is on a high level of evolution yo! Peace and blessings!

[DownloadableCrack]

check out my response to this video and tell me what you think. it'd be greatly appreciated.

[mdot206]

This IS music.

[reg10809]

Used to bump this in"95" when I was going through a metamorphisis.

[darkstarunderground]

Man this kinda of hip hop would make most kids today heads explode because it actually means something..

[13BeatKing]

The first verse is Timo Goodie, Khujo comes in on the first hook, then Dre. Khujo comes in for the third verse of truth. The last verse is, of course, Big Boi. Now that that's settled, I urge you all to put all other things aside and really listen to this music. The lyrics, the production, concepts, and themes. They tell a story full of life lessons and truth. I've had the honor of working with Goodie Mob, some Dungeon Fam, & Organized Noize and they are all True Geniuses...

[nacanecorsos]

" the way that i felt when i wrote this, but we must stay and focus, be kings and queens up in this thang get rid of all them those jokers FACE DOWN FACE DOWN lil wayne

[nacanecorsos]

outkast+Goodiemob=chemistry

[SpeakinTheDream]

"thinkin its all about your clothes

n**ga its all about YOUR self

the way YOU feel about YOUR LIFE"

[carolinaNatl]

This song is so dope it gives me goose bumps. The funk + the passion + the lyrics. Not superficial, cliche, and commercial like artists today... I hope the whole Dungeon Family brings the funk back...and the passion

[xThePeoplesChampion]

immortal technique first verse right ?

[MrTruheel]

@xThePeoplesChampion Naw Man thats Khujo from Goodie Mob I believe

[3santino1]

facedown,facedown,facedown!!! ahhhh...

[FknGvna]

Boy Youtube Will kill a nigga

[13kasted13]

...yeah (sigh)... I remember when hip hop was music....

[TheButtonzChannel]

I remember rollin in the lac listenin to outkast holla'n at honeys at the stoplight

[fct4life]

This track just gives me the chills

[shep12110]

uh.. ya'll know what-ya'll know what-ya'll know what it is.

[iLLUMiNATiONRECORDz]

Bumped this album when it first came out, still do..love hearing it after like 3 months or so of not hearing any of it...same goes for Do Or Die

[ddoggj1]

@iLLUMiNATiONRECORDz I'm pretty sure this song is anti-illuminati....haha just sayin mane nice name ;)

[iLLUMiNATiONRECORDz]

@ddoggj1 The Alias "iLLUMiNATiON™" is not meant to endorse the illuminati...as me being a dj, its meant as to "Shed Light on the nation" to illuminate it... people often either ask or assume im affiliated with them...i dont believe they exist..i think their name is brought up to take the focus off the evil freemasons are doing behind closed doors R.I.P BIG BOI !!

[mrdk216]

@iLLUMiNATiONRECORDz huh? rip big boi? he aint dead

[iLLUMiNATiONRECORDz]

@mrdk216 He certainly is dead, i wouldnt disrespect him like that if he wasnt...his family is holding a private memorial for him 1/14/12

[mrdk216]

@iLLUMiNATiONRECORDz um big boi of outkast? he aint dead hes still using his twitter even...nice joke -_-

[widerling]

@iLLUMiNATiONRECORDz Absolutely! Illumination is enlightement. It's got nothing to do with illuminati. Narrow minded people will always be a victim of their own ignorance. Shame! Shame!

[gobberpooper]

Andre's verse here has got to be one of my favorite verses. Everything about it is just perfect

[shep12110]

if you like outkast produced by organized noize, your going to like a new artist called Big K.R.I.T... simple as that. Don't believe me look up lions and lambs by him. This is coming form a guy that primarily likes 90's hip hop. He gives me hope for today's hip hop and I cant wait for him to drop his first album.

[amkitty130]

yea stop it you makein me feel old lol

[ehoward9438]

the best rappers OF ALL TIME RITE HERE!

[nicklong1981]

[bracewell8]

Rap music now is fabricated by the record companies. Made for the masses.

[222whatthehell]

i guess you could say outkast had an influence of curren$y

[1991jimster]

WISH RAP WAS STILL LIKE THIS INSTAED OF THE GAY SHIT THATS ON THE RADIO



[gogoGreen420]

@1991jimster Then don't listen to radio. Easy as that. Quit complaining. If u want good hip hop just go underground.

[arjaekillz]

mutha fuckin swoorrdd fishhhhhh.

[Matthewrosales1989]

[thegoapt]

Favorite kast joint.... Tmo goodie making that DF cameo--- ICE COLD WATER for your soul...in this folorn desert of mirage chasin money praisin FOOLS, lets go to the Dungeon ---- deep voice guy?? (khujo goodie)

[Megajanitor]

[thegoapt]

@Megajanitor thats Tmo Goodie not C-Lo Green..get it right

[ToProFoYou]

whos the guy with the really deep voice ?

[Juan321C]

I'm 42, and I've been Hip Hop since day 1!!! As long as you appreciate the culture and know the difference between Hip Hop and pop, You're always good with me! Don't think I don't school my kids on the music and the samples. The culture is still alive, don't let that commercialism/Disney BS ruin it for you. It's not always about money, or did you not listen to the lyrics?

[g00hz]

Fuck mainstream crap, i hate it deeply

[willsanchez89]

wow... I feel black already...

[coloradoluvinit]

I remeber playing this in my bedroom on my beast of a stereo at 21, blunt after blunt getting my mind right for what it was I needed to do with my life. Thank You OUTKAST, Goodie M.O.B., Witch Doctor, Organize Noize... THE WHOLE D.F.

[sparkanotherowl23]

[13kanejr]

[1DaRavishing]

[Conscious80]

SUBSTANCE. ARE You Listenin To The Lyrics??? Hell No!

[PurpTrackProd]

bitch you aint 15 talking like that

[TheTMGTeam]

@wolfdemonhaseo great one right there. I was exactly your age in '96 when I fell in love with hip hop music. I'm glad there are kids like you still on the planet. You've got great values and good taste fir music. Keep it up!

[baggiedaddie]

sppittta cant touch this...record deals

[baggiedaddie]

spppittaaaaa cant touch this

[BlackStarLeo]

Good on you for listening to good music, but nobody gives a fuck how old you are. I hate when people say "I'm *insert age here* and listen to...." so what?! Just enjoy the music, stop worrying about what others like.

[OrtontheVirus]

@BlackStarLeo Seriously, I agree with BlackStarLeo what the hell does age have to do with your music taste? If you recognize good music good for you.

[BlackStarLeo]

@OrtontheVirus For real, it's like..what do you want, a cookie?! lol. I bet most of those comments are from people in their 20s pretending to be teens just to get a thumbs up, ha.

[demo2382]

@BlackStarLeo My thoughts exactly. Are we suppose to be impressed if theres a 12 year old that likes this? I'm gonna go watch a Beethoven vid and comment "I love this music and I'm only 72!"

[yokindo]

Best Song evert!! Kids now a days need to listen to this and understand what the fuck they're trying to warn you about!!!!

[wasblind1]

@yokindo I couldn't have said it better

[kevindrak]

Outkast the best rap duo ever period

[PurpTrackProd]

bitch u aint 15 talking like that



[kevindrak]

This is outkast at is finest and goodie mob is underrated

[DRONUFF]

One of my favorite beats, I just put this on repeat and ride out

[pureindian407]

wait WHAT THE FUCK? this album is only $2.99? even for an old album thats insultingly low considering the quality of this

[Immoral917]

@pureindian407 It's a mock comic book cover. That was the price of comics when this album dropped. It was like $11 when it came out.

[roszja1]

słucham tego od czasu jak płyta wyszła na świat. Czy to kiedykolwiek mi sie znudzi? Nie ma mowy! To jedna z najlepszych grup w historii hip hop u. DF family, Organized Noize, Outkast greatest team

[dhwand]

This is HIP HOP !! I miss these dudes ! One of the dopest hip hop beats of all time !!!!

[seb2313]

[natedog9196]

[ImaanMagazine]

This is one of my favorite tracks on the album. It's a shame the same things they spitting about are still going on till this day.

[Thawkand1]

This track is 14 to 15 years old and its context is still relevant to the music industry today!

[MrBeef79]

One of the best flowed tracks I have ever heard.

[420HAVEFUN]

Think it is when it ain't all peaches and cream..

now thats proper..

[edf81]

fuck run dmc and all other groups!!!! OutKast then OutKast now OutKast Forever

[dawb86]

@edf81 LOL, I hope that's a joke. U don't have to say f*ck everybody else to prove OutKast is nice. There's room for all the dope MC's, it's these wack rappers we should have the problem with!

[stealth313]

IMMORTAL TRACK

[devincrook]

andre all tha way! thumbs up pepole

[chyeah214]

to be plain and simple they're a duo, no which one is better than the other. they simply are G.R.E.A.T.

[juliantayl]

[twoNujabes]

[TeddyCherry1991]

[TheRealJimbalZ]

@LadyGagaDrinksPiss from her own dick

[mrdk216]

Thankyou.

[RolandK1000]

8 people should be thrown in a steam... mane

[nagahide13]

There is plenty of good new music. The problem is that at some point the record execs stopped producing what people liked, and started creating trends. Much easier to make money if you're the one defining what is popular. Before, they were always behind... trying to find good acts that already existed. Now they just make them, and we suffer for it.

You've just got to do some serious looking to find the good.

[TheLastSliceOfPie]

@nagahide13 I have, and what I find is very, very scarce

[sam2stu]

@nagahide13 I agree

[Juan321C]

Hip Hop, what happened?

[BlaqueReign25]

@Juan321C Waka Flocka and Souljah Boy that's what happend.

[zuifakbersly]

white, grew up in East Point, love people, love Jesus, like outkast...let it marinate...my daddy pastored there through the 80's...much love to spread around East Point..just visited a month ago...ate at Church's on Cleveland...it's all good...grew up near Ben Hill...much, much love...dads church was East Point Christian Church...his love towards the community shaped my world view...down with corrupt racist thought...up with love...love this flow...hear it in my heart...currently in STL.Jesus

[MrNatureboy666]

i want to die hearing this when i get old im 30 now

[MrNatureboy666]

ahhh  about time good shit . outkast fan since 93

[midwest97]

wat sample is this

[macdoman1996]

@midwest97 Sesame Street by Goodie Mob

[fiendga]

yall know what it is!!! This is that junt!!

[SuperSolovely]

"experience is sometimes the best teacher, until i get my own plate i hope u don't mind me eating off of yours" can u say CLASSIC!!!!!!

[bootycheese69]

These cats are musical geniuses........ If you talk about rappers from the south and they're not the first to come to mind then you need yo ass whipped.......

[Lickmythingy]

Hey dumb ass nigs you spelled outcast wrong

[shyshotcaller27]

@Lickmythingy It's not spelled wrong. "OutKast" is the way they decided to spell it.

[JoynCal]

love this song! Khujo kills it!

[wutangforever34]

OutKast will reign supreme forever. Only true hip hoppers know their skill. A lot of people don't like music that has complex metaphors or is difficult to understand on the first listen. What they don't realize is that's what makes this group so amazing. It takes a few good listens to REALLY understand. I feel the emotions coming from each rapper, whether its BB or Andre or and Goodie member. They lay low and do their thing, mad respect. To everyone who likes this music, I got mad love for ya!

[SuperSolovely]

@wutangforever34 I luv your comment!!!! Coming from a true Outkast, goodie mobb, dungeon family, Fan!!!!!

[AOSMUSIC]

@wutangforever34

Real talk man! I agree...

[Felixrchmnd]

This is that dirty south pimp sh%#!!!!

[SoBoyInCO]

This jam is classic. ATLANTA changed hip-hop 4 the better. B4 crunk...B4 holla...B4 the suits...B4 napster...B4 'sex-sells' took over....But I admit a 'dime' makes any rap vidoe more entertaining :) But real 'heads' give credit where credit is due. Outkast is iconic.

[DaGlowingElement]

Love this track. Always thought it had a kinda West Coast feel to it.

[Shrbarnett]

aaaaaaahhh, this is like a cool breeze to me... memories!!!

[TakinInc]

@Shrbarnett same

[Suicide334]

U don't know shit boi!!! Listen to this art....this reeeaalness!...this mastery!!! Load up my gun & put it down with a frown!!! Huh...tell that to weezy & Jeezy & Kanyeeezy!!!

[Ildaos]

very relaxing song...its great..yeah!!

[MrJdmek]

haha cing chang cho chow?

[Zycrazygurl1434]

I'm 13 and i have better taste in music then most people my age and up idk y they choose to listen to the Soulja boys and the Wacka Flackas I cant stand people who r ignorant to quality and common sense. Outkast, Erykah Badu, and the new artist Janelle Monae those r the people that everybody need to listen to but hey what do I kno cant change anybody's ear to music rite

[tommy1001000]

@Zycrazygurl1434 go comment shorty listen to the real.

[Lolwaffle1234]

@Zycrazygurl1434 Hey im only 2 years old and i have a better taste in music than most people my age and up i dont know why they choose to listen to auto tune and Justin Bieber, I can't stand stand people who are ignorant to quality and common sense, Playschool, High School Musical, Barney those are the people that everybody needs to listen to but hey i know i cant change anybodys ear to music right???

[TehAWAL]

@Zycrazygurl1434 look up souls of mischief and listen to kush and oj by wiz those are the best

[Chorykesso]

@Zycrazygurl1434 You are the ignorant, first thing you have to learn is that neither in music nor in any kind of arte there's "good" or "bad", just different points of view.

[seanathen123456789]

@Zycrazygurl1434 you saying you have better taste in music then other people makes you ignorant...

[BennoYaKnow22]

''Everybody's a player, rubbin them kangols on their head

[dawnerjames]

@BennoYaKnow22

[oakland5353]
