i still do that shit man. but i believe the teens have changed and listen to terrible music produced by terrible rappers like drake and it makes me mad that the truely gifted artist arent being appreciated the same as they once did
I remember listening deep into these rap albums of the 90's as a kid; I used to smoke and really listen for meaning and emotions.... Do kids still do the same shit? How can you find meaning in the new hip hop? Maybe real soul in music goes from genre to genre - generation to generation?
My uncle put me on to Outkast when i was a youngin n i aint stopped listenin to them since. He always played this when he used to paint. I listen to this for motivation to write my poetry. Ima ride wit them to them to the end
1999 living in london england i was 17, my cousin was 24 living in LA .... he sent me this CD and opened me up 2 a whole new type of music ..... i can honestly say this is the best album iv ever heard 14 years later and i still listen to this more than anything else, a true classic from start 2 finish, the album has so much emotion musically and lyrically, OUTKAST FOREVER !
whoever disliked this is still shackled by the chains of mental bondage, this is one of the mos concious and questioning songs out there. they really need liberation. Kast 4eva
hip hop used to be about droppin knowledge, speaking about tough times, ghetto life and shit. Rhyming and flowing with a beat that didn't have to be club banger. I miss you hip hop.
You really gon pretend that theres no such thing as Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Kanye West, The Roots, Nas, Jay-Z, Big K.R.I.T.? Plus Kast is about to release a new album.
I grew up with this song and it surprises me how hip hop/ rap has evolved from this, to the crap that it is today. It's a shame that people are seduced by the crap on the radio. :\
i want liberation. i want people to listen to the fucking words and understand your part of a system, you can either get educated and brainwashed in college, or you can go to prison and get educated and brainwahsed by a more select group. or you can work hard and struggle in the real world and get brainwashed by the radio and tv. when people understand that they have a choice in who they are and what they stand for is when the liberation will start. unfortunately it wont happen for 400 years
i got the dj at the club i work at to play this last night. not a single person danced to it, nor seemed to recognize it at all. shocking, seeing as our crowd is 95% African American in their late twenties to mid thirties. play the fucking "wobble" or "motivation" and everyone goes crazy, but they dont even know a classic like this.
@thisguy803 that's a damn shame not one person knew this. it's getting like that everywhere. next time try 8ball and mjg space age pimpin. if they don't catch that one i would laugh when you hear one of them talking bout they know good muzik.
@thisguy803 Damn shame. I'm only 16 and I know/have all of OutKast's songs & albums. Til' this day I haven't heard a song from them that I don't like. Truly perfection.
all i know is everytime life is kicking my ass i tend to throw this shit on and i'm ready to get back in the swing of things. aint how you fall, it's how you get back up - and this is one of my alltime fav hip hop upliftings f'sho
