[thenazi420]

macaroni niggas haha

[ncshuriken]

Definitely the one of the best Outkast tracks ever, and one of the best hip-hop tings. Dont even have a bassline, but somehow it dont need one.

Excellence

[The808Prophet]

i want the instrumental

[wushish]

Is this a freestyle or an actual song?

[ncshuriken]

@wushish

Its the tune man, thats how it is on the CD. Dont know if theres a "complete" version. 

[tjmon666]

@wushish both cause the real definiton of a freestyle is a song without a chorus but this is written down but incomplete

[wushish]

I listen to a lot of different music from classical to jazz, but this is easily one of the best songs i have ever heard

[mrworldwide8]

had to put this in phone...bump,bump,bump bump....

[jarbon5]

To this brotha, this is the greatest song that hiphop has to offer! There are many good songs now, won't ever forget that, but this is better then all of them (well, to me it is). His story-telling ability is par none! Even Eminem, who is master lyrical story-teller, is surpassed here (to me, anyway). And, 3000 keeps you so engrossed into the story that even when there's a change in the it, he doesn't lose you. That is why I say this is hiphop's greatest song:)

[TRACITONI]

Really nice! Thanks for sharing.

[Alb0KiD23]

This is ridicilous. I have the lyrics right in front of my face and I still can't keep up with Andre 3000..just an amazing artist and the best lyricist I have ever heard.

[kiteandfox]

This is one of my favourite songs ever, it doen't get the recognition it deserves

[gdogvibes1]

@kiteandfox most good songs never do.

[14mromegaman]

This is a truly dumbass song

[myrage721]

andre 3 stacks flow.. has got to be the sickest in hip-hop history!

[1989godsgift]

TOP 5 dead or alive not a rapper thats a MC/Poet fuck it jus call him a artist and that was his master piece

[lilhavin]

One word: LEGEND

[badgirl828]

I luv my cousin Andre Benjamin!

[StepByStepSneakers]

This is one of my all time favs come back to us Dre! stepbystepsneakers..com

[chriszimbrick]

If this song ended like 2 or 3 min before it really does this would have been a hit.....way to long for the beat and pace something got messed up because this song just drags on.

[Craisha2011]

lol!! thats how black people frm da south say oranges

[ddlashley]

can lil wayne rap so fluently while telling a story that u can fully understand for 4:40.......i dont think so. EPIC stuff!

[upsidedownindu]

ahhhh i've loved this for years! <3

he's in a completely different league, still.

such a beautiful guy and one of the dopest lyricists to ever grace my ears.

love love love love.

[OmegaWeaponFFVIII]

Great song..

[devidevsta]

those three dislikes need to have someone slap hip hop into them

[WittyQwan]

played dis like 4 times back to back...fuckin dope

[getreadyish]

3 stacks a Beast..he's so poetic and poetry is true hip hop

[originalploxed]

this is the best song Ive ever heard and apparently it only had like 500k views including all videos thats just straight up bes man i cant even believe its like you tube is trying to piss me off first messing the subscribe button then advertisements now they scroo up how many views a video is suppose to have

[d1rdyd]

I kept your number in my old phone

Got a new chip flip with the roam roam

So it took me a minute to retrieve seven digits

But I promised I would call you when I got home

But, when I got home I never did

By the time I did, heard that you had a kid

By some nigga in Decatur

Who replied see you later when he got the good news, that's life shit

[RHYTHMz420]

Thank you Andre ..still one of my favorite songs. ended love below so dope

[suckmycaulk]

this is hip-hop gospel

[kingdul5]

i just took a dump and it took 5 min and 26 seconds. fmb

[Classyjazzlady]

He could have flowed on this track for 20 whole minutes and I woulda been cool with it. The best in the game...if only he comes back.

[queensdiplomat02]

keep in mind at the time "keep it real was the phrase"

wow that line is so powerful!

[queensdiplomat02]

keep in mind at the time "keep it real was the phrase"

wow that line is so powerful!

[epoch998]

Sick song. Do you think Andre got the name Seven for his kid from Seinfeld?

[chewyy9991]

/watch?v=dGVBM4tyo70 Lloyd ft. Andre 3000 & Nas - You (Remix) (Lyrics)

[CockyR4]

I actually heard a lot of stuff that Andre was a great ass rapper and stuff, then I hear this song and actually didnt like him, but after A LOT of times listening to this, is growing on me.

[joeboow80]

Wow. thats all i gotta say...wow. this man is a legend its a shame more people cant recognize how great he is. probably because theyre all brainwashed with that dumbed down new shit these niggas call "hip hop" nowadays. andre is a real ARTIST not just rapper, this is really a piece of art.

"when i was goin through them phases tryna find anything that seem real in the world"

i feel u man

[MsGMorgan]

"The angelic nastiness..." HA...

[MRXNINJAWHO]

this a real freestyle, no one alive spits like this, he is the best ever

[legendarypookie]

damn he could spit! how much bars was that?

[yh37resident56]

THIS IS SHITTT

[ScrottIshEre]

@yh37resident56 you know what else is ? your dads penis from where he's butt fucked you into the pop scene now fuck off back to your lil wayne soulja boy shit....

[MultiSinoda]

game period....

[ZogxUNB0UNDx]

Does anyone know if this is actually a freestyle? I heard that it is but I'm not sure. If it is then it is fucking LEGENDARY.

[lilhavin]

BEST RAP SONG EVER!!!

#justmyopinion

[PhillipP93]

how does a producer come up with such a catchy but trippy track?

[ElToya1992]

What's the song at the end?!

[stevenarm]

thumbs up if andre 3000 is the MOST ORIGINAL

[unclebuck0500]

Still haven't heard one music artist compared to Andre, closest i heard was B.O.B

[cisseusa123]

@unclebuck0500 Lupe.

[bodytoi]

@unclebuck0500 B.O.B is shit compared to 3 stacks....he wishes he could b 3000.

[KizaSoze25]

@bodytoi I think 3000 is better, but PLEASE don't sleep on B.O.B...he's legit as well.

[wutangforever34]

I would love for a sequel to this, starting right where he left off up to present day. This song is great, the beat and lyrics really put you in a trance. Andre 3K is awesome.

[groalerable]

you do the arithmetic. we do the language arts.

[Blacksoljah]

"I was on the rise. Yeast was the streets...to make bread." The reason niggas love 3k is because you got to find meaning in his lines. Niggas like lil wayne make it to easy for listeners. Niggas back in the day had verse that made people have to listen over and over again just to be understood.

[DeezyisPrimo]

wow.....his whole life story in one song in deph and something we can all relate to .......relationships

[jarbon5]

Still, one of the greatest songs in Hip Hop!

[waiting4smtin]

Now that's what story telling is nd it's what makes hip hop better than other music genres but unfortunately there r almost none who do that in 2day's hip hop.

[500pounds]

"macaroni niggas, impostas"

Hahahaha

[chewy9991]

/watch?v=j8JaqC8ZJIw my top 10 rappers list

[jstblz05]

i could listen 2this ova n ova n ova n ova n ova....

[12000gage]

this is the best of why andre is andre. my personal favorite, when he telss a story it over. no one can touch him.

[PokrPro21]

This song is soooo fuckin' tight! The flow goes on for days with no hook or chorus!

[hbone]

that beat at the end is weird g but its catchy as fuck for some reason i dont know

[keeshykam]

wheres gean?

[keeshykam]

por qe me se cola calamitha la conandoooooooooo!

[production6]

[xTitansfan93x]

andre is the best rapper lyrically ever, great song

[LeesTWINsister]

[gdogvibes1]

@LeesTWINsister thats a interesting name...

[eddieray54]

proof hip hop isnt dead. the lyrics r great & the beat is just sick...

[bubblem8]

Thanx for the lyrics...x

[Hecknowledge]

btw could you try to post the instrumental to this song

[StoicTwo]

@Hecknowledge Yes, please you know!

-Stoicone!

[Hecknowledge]

Andre 3000 is one of the most under-rated lyricists....and also fuckin nasty at rappin

[MrMrBeats]

@Hecknowledge i fully agree with you, an this beat is WICKED... i dont know anyone that can make a beat like that

besides him

[DoomCity202]

@Hecknowledge cause too many niggas like ignorant shit and dope lord material love rap

[Empha84]

@Hecknowledge Andre is a beast but honestly he is way more know then alot of other emcees like Saul Williams but being a mainstream cat he is still underrated.

[Louis2boricua1]

sicckk!!

[brothaman34]

how's about them urnges (oranges)

[gdogvibes1]

ummm hows about them oranges? that doesn't make much sense to me but uhh sorry about messing up....

[brothaman34]

I think it's like the saying "how about them apples."

[ahomeyinneed]

@gdogvibes1 it's a play on "how bout them apples."

[cambino310]

@gdogvibes1 it's like the more recognized phrase how about them apples, but of course 3 stacks gotta flip it.hehe....love this joint

[ThinkTink606432]

@gdogvibes1 Yeah it's his new orleans accent. He pronunces words a little strange, but you did a great job over all.

[raveonsteviewoo]

@ThinkTink606432 Andre and Big Boi are from Atlanta

[Ruvanaha]

@gdogvibes1 It's a play on the phrase "how bout them apples"

[EazyTarantino]

@gdogvibes1 and urnges would make sense? you fucked up some of the most simple lyrics... like putting me instead of we a few times

[Vish215]

@gdogvibes1 he does say oranges. hes alluding to the phrase "how about them apples."

[therealjohnolson]

@gdogvibes1 Its a play on words for the common phrase... how about them apples...

[groalerable]

@gdogvibes1
