@volunteernation16 The song was released on the Love Below part of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Although they could both be classified as Big Boi's and Andre's solo albums, all the songs were credited under OutKast, even though all of the songs were just one of the two
@volunteernation16 I'm lost- Is this Outkast ot Andre?? In the non live video, they're all wearing green & I always thought it was one guy & that it was a clever trick, lol =)
Without a doubt the song of the decade. Encapsulates the decade where every genre meshed together.....this song is rap, it's pop, rock n roll, blues, soul, jazz....everything. A synthesis of contemporary music.
I remember watching this live. It was the first time I heard the song. I went and bought the CD. I remember telling my husband they were going to win a Grammy. And they did!
Mayby but i just don't see it, like i say it has a catchey sound and a catchey beat , well you are probably right since being there wasn't much really going on in the decade as far as music . I much rather enjoyed the performance. Im not down playing the song don't get me wrong i like the song .Hey , im old school this joint kind of reminds me of a Holyness Church i went to back in the day. About the same tempo and beat : )
Well, Rolling Stone has it at 180 on their "Top 500 Songs Of All Time" So I'ma say it's pretty damn good, and people who say it's amazing are indeed correct.
@btuc401 Your point being? Kurt Cobain was an incredible musician. He may not be the most technically skilled but that doesn't mean he didn't write incredible stuff.
@TheChesherCat I'm a huge Nirvana fan but Kurt Cobain is nowhere near being in the top 100. Sure, he wrote some amazing songs and some great riffs but I just think there are more than 100 guitarists who made better use of it than him, and again, I'm not saying he didn't make good use of his guitar.
outkast is not underrated wtf r u talking about everybody knows who they are and as a metter of fact they sold millions and millions of albums maybe even 100 million all together... not that thats enough if beatels sold half a bill they can 2
Your description of this performance is so RIGHT, zeus! Amazing. The song became too overexposed, but watching this again takes me right back to why I went out the next day and bought the CD! Phenomenal! Thanks for posting this. No other performance of this song would have done!
"okay now ladies" <- the way he said that lmao, i think his voice cracked or something
i'm so in love lol
this shit was like a very frightening glimpse into dre's mind lol. a fucking ballerina, back up singers in vampire capes, his crazy outfit- but it all comes together in perfect harmony. he is a genius... but a crazy one
@100magicmushrooms Yeah, either he is lip synching the entire thing or he's being propped up by a pre-recorded support vocal to make his voice stand out a little more and give it an extra push, so it doesn't sound so naked and raw :)
my favotites are Rasberry Beret, Diamonds and Pearls, Purple Rain, Beautiful ones, Controversy, Little Red Corvet, Adore, When doves cry, Kiss, and 1999.......and FUTURE BABY MAMMA as well.....
This song is really reminiscent of a certain style of Prince songwriting - it's basically one harmonic idea, i.e. those four chords, repeated constantly, but developed, i.e. counter-melodies added (see the chorus), breakdowns, etc, plus lots of interesting vocal stuff (eg harmonies over the chorus, "shake it, shake it, shake it").
Musicology and Let's Work are two good examples of what I mean, though you won't find any bootleg Prince on youtube.
its not surprising de and big bio broke up. andre just became so weird. while big bio kept that southern hardcore style that made Goodie mob so good. Andre was just his own thing... on the early records their style clash was amazing, but i guess they just became to different after a while. good to see they are gonna release something new again.
Andre is one of the most artisitic men on the planet. Boi great too, but Andre's on his own level. Like most bands, they were successful becasue they were very different and very talented. Sooner or later they were going to break up. That don't make Andre "weird."
maybe not "weird" , but far to contrasting to Bois traditional southern rap style, at least as time went on. they knew this. thats why they had to release speakerboxx and love below separately, cause they're styles didnt really flow together anymore, and musically they're ideas where far top different. I just wished they had done more aquemini shit... traditional southern rapping, cept better than everyone else ofcourse lol.
If you acutally listne to the drums its a pretty simple beat, why the fuck would they get a drummer? Even I an drum it and I dont play the drums. Simples the best ;)
What creativity! The single best live performance I have ever seen on a talk show. The clip doesn't fully capture how excited the audience was. This song makes it impossible to just sit still!
I love Larry in the end.... "HISTORY"
