This is my favorite song from "The Love Below". Andre 3000 and Rosario Dawson together are so perfect!

[razzle9438]

ANDRE 3000 AND OUTKAST IS LIKE PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION OF RAP!

[kb2throwed]

---Diz remindz me of mah ex soo much. He dedicated diz sonq too me. especially dat 1st verse, wen he sayz "she stays in da koolest moods, klearly woman of da year. She &all her qirlfriends(me &mah bestfriends) dey qo out, dressed to win. she kumz back to da koolest part of town(his hood-wen i qo back to see him afterwards)"

[aquemeni3000]

Whats wrong? What are you afraid of?

THE LOVE BELOW...

[YoursTrulyGraphix]

i love this song

[jeslove2003a]

I loooooove this song. Good music I miss this.

[dspinx]

Andre 3000 = Evolved Hip Hop Artist, still waiting for the others................

[razzle9438]

@ajamu360 ahaahah yeah andre 3k`s style is inspired by prince!

[BeenaBee]

one of the dopest outkast songs of all time...rosario dawson? damn it just cant get any better than that

[jdkpk07]

the part when it says 'the Love Below' at 3:31 is the BEST!

[foxxyBadd1991]

i LOVE this song

[collinsboy21]

Man this song go hard the flow and beats all around good song.

[sexonthebeach003]

Girl remind me just who we are, we're oh so close...and yet..so..far...<3

[welldonefromhereon]

damn man, the flow and rhythm on this beat is sooooo sick

[daboe0909]

All that's missin' from this is a b#%ch in her bra and panties...

[IHappyIFaceI]

Actually its from the movie "Idlewild" (well where I first heard a version of this song anyway) that Outkast was in. It's a really depressing song when you've seen the movie, as its when he prepares the body of the woman he loved and intended to marry -who was killed- for burial (hes a mortician in the film). It's essentially his "masterpiece" as he makes her as beautiful as possible for death/burial, as his father (also a mortician) did for his mother on her death.

[2011TazmanianDevil]

Its from The Love Below.... all the songs from Idlewild r just old songs they already made with the exception Afterparty....

[verse87]

@2011TazmanianDevil so is Afterparty (Movin' Cool) it was on the Big Boi & Andre Present... Album

[GoRgEoUsLyMe143]

@IHappyIFaceI i agree...if you notice in the scene he was also dressed in a tux and was about to kill himself to be with his love forever but was stopped when big boi knocked at his door...strange but in a good way....good music good movie

[ShayDaGreenQueen]

I love this song sooo much! i just dont understand it. Please comment bak about wat u think its about

[81princej]

iight, let me see if i can nail this......afta andre breaks up wit her, she continues to live her life out but she wants to get back wit him. "she lives in my lap" is a metaphor for like the love between a father and daughter, the father might piss off his daughter once and awhile but she is always goin to love him. at 2:01 he's tellin her dat he still loves her but he feelin like his not in love wit her........dats how i look at

[jamare456]

strong lyrics it just makes your heart tingle and really makes you really start too have a fantasy

[13thAngelLucifer]

Fuck ass niger shit........really suck

[jamare456]

if you not feelin this then i assume you dont like hip hop

[TheLastLaffer]

why are the did cannibal ox make speakerboxx/the ox below i just noticed that shit now the album covers are even similiar is it homage, parody, or biting?

[d11525]

Andre 3000 is definitely the most original music artist, I can't consider him just a rapper anymore. He's a musical genius.

[dababydollhouse]

i culdnt have saiid it better myselff

i hope he cums back hip hop NEEDS HIM NOW!!!! lol

[rcurdjr]

@d11525 what makes him so eccentric is where he pulled his music from.

[philosophyphilosophy]

One of the best songs of the albums in my opinion

[5starp5]

I love this song

[Dannyb0y24]

it wouldnt be his LAB. because they use the samples from biggie and another song that the lyrics go "on my lap at all times" in that song the guys talking about a gun but it still fits.

[bigcletus318]

@Dannyb0y24

It's not a Biggie sample, it samples "My Mind Playin Tricks on Me" by the Geto Boys and "Pistol Grip Pump" by Volume 10.

[trentthebeast]

basically long story short he is afraid of committing to her forever

[trentthebeast]

People he is in love with her but he can't because his insecurities are in the way of his love. what makes it more sad is that she loves him and she can't shake him off and yet he is rejecting her at the same time which screwed up. thats why he says we're just so close and yet so far. physically he loves her but mentally he is screwed. ALSO the girls voice is rasio dawson so sexy.

[cherry123321777]

its not she lives in my lap, its she lives in my LAB. so shes not a whore cuz shes always in his lap, sinse hes a mortician, thats why he says what he does.

[y0unglilthizzer]

i hate to burst ur bubble but i have the cd and it is she lives in my lap.

[ohaitharguiz]

.....

[Atlien3]

Yall are stupid, she is a stripper, she lives in his lap means she is constantly in his lap

[tropicalpimp]

I'm not sure if thats what he means but that was funny as shit! LOL and OUtKast are some pimpin ass muthafuckas so it wouldnt surprise me.

[BrittneyGonDoWhaaa]

The song is basically saying how he's afraid to commit to her. "Forever my fiance" "I'll get the courage one day"....He looks at her as this perfect chick who he could be with but for some reason he just doubts the whole thing but won't let go. She lives in his lap is a metaphor for him possessing her, like a little lap dog or some junk, he can have her when he wants her....or atleast thats what i think...still my shit tho!!!

[MChapmatic]

good idea I think it's right. Love this shit.

[r01010101e]

@BrittneyGonDoWhaaa yeah something like that it`s still a little ??? but a great wonderfull song.....

[tazzoneanonly]

@BrittneyGonDoWhaaa I am very impress with your interpretation of this song!!! I think you are dead on the meaning!!!

[Erika1Luv]

@BrittneyGonDoWhaaa It also sounds like he loses her towards the end, then regrets it...he hears her voice in his memory, "baby I love you".

[ratfinkskates]

@Erika1Luv his lyrics are usually vague, which i like, but you might never know. like on toilet tisha, it was just so vague what happened, it's easy to misinterpret.

[GoodandSober]

@BrittneyGonDoWhaaa I agree with you until the end. I think what he was trying to say about her living in his lap is in reference to daydreaming. When you sit and daydream, and come back to reality disappointed, you generally look down which is your lap. I can relate that way and love this song. "Forever my Fiance" to me says she will always ALMOST be mine. Just my idea of what it means. Andre is definitely unique, someone should ask him.

[grannie04]

@BrittneyGonDoWhaaa I know i'm hella late w/this reply lol...i love ur take on this song

[joerockzo]

@BrittneyGonDoWhaaa i feel that

[hncathcart]

@BrittneyGonDoWhaaa i think you hit the nail right on the head

[GirlOnQ]

@hncathcart hey what'd they say? I can't find the comment anywhere

[dani31489]

what does "she lives in my lap" mean?

[Shmenman]

that she is DEAD, and rests in his lap (forever my fiance)

[dominique15000]

this song so said when u watch the movie

[treffels]

[alaphize]

Possibley my fave track on TheLoveBelow, alongside Spread! ;)

[KingPhaRoh]

IDK i think "" a day in the life of benjiman andre" is a sick ass track.

[takme2DamusicstoRE]

I love this joint,Andre 3000 just got that "it" factor

[tacopenguiness]

I know I know. I used to have this CD but I lost it. Gotta get that music back X)

[FC2thaBoro]

TOP FIVE:

1) Jay Z

2) 3000 "Jay-Z's fav BTW"

3) Biggie "limited material"

4) PAC "really a POET on a track"

5) NAS/REDMAN tossup!

[killacmac]
