[jallison79]

@MRTr3S True ass lyrics. Thumbs up to you sir!

[ImAlexusBrown]

"you a scared demon, you shouldn't be allowed to spread semen."

[bowiefan441970]

There's a fine line and baby I'm on it. It doesn't get any more poignant than this. Southern rap has never been more perfect. Libertad...

[TrueMissRobinson]

Theme of Life. That's liberation and I want it!

[sotwisted18]

this music takes me to a different place and once its over i just replay it and go right back

[ebonyidris]

[Jordainio]

This is crazy yo!!!

Thank you!

LIBERATE I

[Laurasplay]

This song is a classic commentary about being the person you are destined to be. Liberation is about being you. Not how someone else defines you. And not just for money. Maybe you are destined for another greatness. Rap needs this song more than ever, right now.

[newstoryinstitute]

This is fucking deeeeeep! Love it!

[danadane827]

I use to listen to this song over and over! This is when i knew Cee-Lo was a bad ass singer! his voice is like an old southern preacher...i love it!

[kelly8292005]

no one knows



[Tayyy06]

@kelly8292005 ATLiens ;)

[kelly8292005]

whats the name of the cd they made with the girl with the green stuff being pored all over her please anyone

[swidit]

@kelly8292005  A-T-L iens.

[ilovemusic3725]

I applaud Outkast for remaining true to who they are. It's one thing to be commercial to make money & another to further the Hip-Hop genre. You went for the jugular on this one................& hit a nerve. Thank you for your courage - GO HEAD OUTKAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blackseason2]

One of my top 5 favorites always good to hear when I feel like the world is on my shoulders

[joer7707]

"Niggas hang around cause of who you are

You get a lot of love cause of what you got

Say they happy for you but they really not"

I'm 22 and I can honestly say I strongly dislike our music today. Seems like everyone does it for the money instead of the artistic value it can represent. Late 80's to late 90's would be the years I would've enjoyed as a young adult.

[mysmoothyshop]

Much Love,Much Respect!!!! Shake that load Off..........Selah

[chdnelson82]

I love this song so much

[FreshKiddsTV]

so GoRGeous

[MrLilcountry]

Caint worry bout what anotha nigga think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Shake dat load off!!!!

[omni101]

hmmmmm. no dislikes

[chanese2004]

There's a fine line between love and hate

[WutDfuzz]

wow

[vadamsable]

This is a bad jam! This is a song for those concerned about haters. I love this song because of the jazz feel it has to it.

[sonnybrown]

I seriously probably listened to this track about 1000+ times. I bought the CD when It came out and it still sounds as good as it did then to me.

[Fumettoo]

awesome sound

[carsonnotdaily]

well.. i'm nicaraguan and i love MUSIC. any music that makes rythmic sence to me.

I bought this album when i was 15, with hard earned money from chores and stuff, because i already had two of their previous albums.

back in the day, riding around on a ten-speed with one hand on my 3 second anti-skip cd player lol

[PropheticSarahNell]

Erykah did steal the show. I love this song. So well put together-- they put their foot in this song!

[sonnybrown]

@PropheticSarahNell Her and Cee Lo went so well together in this track.

[DUECE800]

Yeah, this is real music. Cee-lo gave us a clue in this one. was anyone listening? Outkast had and still has alot of good music unrealized. Them, Cee-lo, Usher, JD, and a few others could really shape ATL music if they get back to making this music.

[KellBeezy28]

I love how this sounds.... you can ride and enjoy !!!

[stllwtchngvds]

Awesome! There's a void in the game right now without this type of music. Probably for the reason they're talking about in this song.

[christblaka]

@ThaiWarrior777 That's peace. Anybody can relate to subject matter that's actually relatable to the individual. I'm just tired of uncle toms downplaying the influential achievements of African Americans, that's actually mentioned.

[christblaka]

@loof000 so yes i know all about the poem. And in closing i would like to say that when someone asks you what do you want to eat , do you say chinese, thai, indian, or mexican food? I mean, there has to be a way to describe it right? So culturally is the clearest way to do so. Same as describing a game console, or whatever. so whether or not you choose to accept that FACT, is your decision, I can care less. Miss me with that kumbaya, we are the world, coexist jive. This is Black music, PEACE

[christblaka]

@ioof000 First of all i don't have an axe to grind, my original comment was a response to something that someone said and i as well as others felt / feel was detrimental to the IDENTITY of the culture of the music. That is a dumb ass question. And second you are sadly misguided if you really believe that there is no such thing as african,asian,arabic, or indian(native or not ) music.  Plus, I bought this tape when it first came out, the same day that one of my friends was killed by another

[Daizy10231023]

One person isn't liberated.

[barekat1]

CLASSIC!

-b.kat1

[christblaka]

@ratfinkskates Also, the phrase "black music" can't place a limitation because of how it is categorized. Its just a description, like a type, or race, or form. The limitation in of itself, is someone who CAN'T or isn't ALLOWED or just REFUSES to overcome obstacles. And if someone is calling you a "wigga", then maybe you should use proper grammar like your parents, as well as mine taught us. Or maybe you shouldn't pretend to be someone you know you are not on the inside. Just be yourself! PEACE

[christblaka]

@ratfinkskates wtf r u talking about? African American culture wasn't created by segregation. Our culture is still rooted in African traditions, just on a smaller scale, thats why those devil traders separated families to erase that familiarity. You must mean jazz music. And what do you mean by "black home"? The "black" home i was raised in was poverty stricken and chaotic. The"black" home one of my cousins come from was neither, and we are complete opposites. Thanks for the stereotyping

[loof000]

@christblaka

you totally missed her/his point

s/he is saying that, regardless of colour, humans are a product of their environment. ie. the circumstances in which you were raised determines your perspective. s/he even used scare quotes to make the point that racial labels are meaningless.

you clearly understand this concept as you talked about you & your cousin.

but you also hold the contradictory view that 'culture' can be defined racially. you talk about 'we' black people and 'our' culture

[loof000]

@christblaka

i don't know why you have such an axe to grind about this being 'black' music - do you think you can somehow take credit for it?

there is no such thing as [insert racial label] music. the only people that have a special claim to this music or any other are the artists who made it.

race is a social construct. we can't control how others label us, but we can choose to grow up & stop labelling ourselves.

have you read the poem/seen the clip 'coded language'?

[marcwa74]

This right here is truth!!! Loved this whole album but this song is perfection @ it's highest...

[Mrgalacticone]

भगवान की भावना मुझे यहाँ लाया

[Mrgalacticone]

하나님의 정신은 날 여기 데려온

[Mrgalacticone]

جلب روح الله لي هنا

[Mrgalacticone]

พระวิญญาณของพระเจ้านำมาฉันที่น­ี่

[Mrgalacticone]

روح خدا مرا به اینجا آورده

[Mrgalacticone]

The Spirit of God brought me here...

[deeday76]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG BY OUTKAST AND THA DUNGEON FAMILY !!!!!!

[thrash205]

smoking music....

[damagnan]

And I listened to all 8 minutes and 47 seconds of it, too!!

[Codicakes1]

OUTKAST HURRY AND BRING ANOTHER ALBUM OUT PLEASE, YOUR REAL FANS MISS Y'ALL. OUTKAST FAN FROM DAY 1

[Codicakes1]

this is in my top five of favorite songs.

[LP101A]

Shake that load off

[lombmusic07]

More proof that it's brilliant that anybody can stumble across real music on youtube.

[ReTaL731]

Outkast been off the chain since the mid 90's

[tjjt678]

@ReTaL731 you mean since they started rapping

[wuisforthechildren]

This has become my favorite Outkast track. I dismissed it at first until I actually listened to it. I'm glad i gave it another listen.

[cKunke2]

I must admit...

The first time I started playing through this album as I was digging into Outkast's discography, I couldn't dig it. It was too slow or something, I just didn't get it. Maybe I wasn't open-minded enough and just wanted to keep hearing 3000 and BB rip apart tracks.

Now in days, I think it's safe to say this is my all time favorite track

[mizsjackson]

Dis shit ridin

[saa755]

This is awesome!..love it

[southbound352]

SUM OF THE BEST MUSIC EVER MADE!

[mooonstoned]

@southbound352 ITS LIBERATING!

[zuj467]

[NilsEbbesen]

[NilsEbbesen]

[kdbrooks77]

Give me chills everytime i hear it! The realest shit I ever heard! Durty south CLASSIC!!

[CandyCoded4]

[WATCHDOGG420]

[hindubot]

gotta love the ending

[freedomskr]

Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[Prophetess7]

This song is awesome from beginning to end. It never gets old to me.

[LatashaTrueHeart]

One of my favorite Outkast songs of all time. When I hear this song, I think of Mark and Meeko and my days back in Nashville. I haven't fully reached where I want to be, but in a much better place than I was then. I feel more liberated than I've ever felt. It feels good. I could listen to this for hours and not get tired of it.

[mrjoewoo256]

now this is music! did u hear what they said! everyone should listen to this song!

listen tooooo ttthhhaaaatttt beat!!!!!!!!!!!! love it

[mrjoewoo256]

now this is music! did u hear what they said! everyone should listen to this song!

[Sam51329]

it is reaaaaaaal sad that singers like Erika or like Lauryn Hill just come and go like that too........but at least they do not leave the scene in the same way that Amy Winehouse did (after the Belgrade disaster).....I have still great memories of the other two, but as a Winehouse fan, it's gonna take me a lil while.....

[KingMono79]

One of my favorite Outkast song of all time

[BabydollDenett]

THIS SONG IS MORE THAN A SONG,IT RUNS SOOOOOOOOO DEEP & THE BEAT IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!

[MrLOSangelesBITCH]

SHAKE THAT LOAD OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[kt283440]

Legends.

[lonnieappleseed]

Good lord. Hip Hop as it should be done all raped into one song. Masterpiece

[MaeScott1son]

speechless

[OnesWise]

One word Potent!

[Sam51329]

Never heard this song before... But having been a musician back in the past, I can recognize a tune with outstanding production qualities. This one is a full thumbs up.

Bless the dude who catered to the percussions especially.......

[laylabillionz]

@Sam51329 Me too. Anytime an artist use live instruments, stands out. The sound is always better. I love it.

[jerrylo21]

One of my all time favs! Peace to Outkast & Goodie Mob.

[remken77]

this is the reason i fell in love with hiphhop(music like this)......what happened to our music?

[Brothaninja]

@remken77 cash lol 

[ccurry26]

SHAKE THAT LOAD OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NOLAHB]

This song has inspired me repeatedly through the years...I have a lot of these instruments in my entourage. The production is perfect. It has truly been an under-rated classic. The Band is amazing, the voices truly have blessed the part in me needs to be freedom itself.

[kbyer]

Very serious!

[swats21ep]

i would spend more money to listen to this one song than i would to listen to a whole album of an artist today..yea its like that

[KLBradleySr]

@swats21ep Say that shit AGAIN!!!

[SuperCparham]

@swats21ep

[damagnan]

@swats21ep that's for real man.

[BumpyJonas74]

Music is supposed to inspire and this song definetly inspires me to keep pressing despit how rough the road gets. Its jus sad that songs like this won't get any airplay but songs that encourage the youth to fight and do silly looking dances will get stay in constant rotation on the radio

[JAZZMINE18100]

this my jam! this is what you call real music



[MrChelow3000]

Big Rube Is one of the most knowledgable people in the rap game he puts it down in a big way on quite a few Goodie and kast songs much love for those that reach out to their fans in a Godly way

[Conserned1]

Classic ..!!!!!

[MrCommenterguy]

Outkast+ Cee Lo + Erykah Badu= mind fuck, my brain turns into cum.

[christblaka]

Oukast is probabaly the most talented rap/alternative group or whateva you wanna call them. But what can't be denied is the fact that this is BLACK music. Wether you think it segregates or places limitations on this genre, is irrelevant. If everybody outside of our culture loves it then thats peace. But when we make exceptions and excuses so they feel included, it becomes a slaves' logic. We don't say that stuff about mexican , chinese, or indian food, It is what it is. PEACE

[aaraac]

@christblaka Right On! This music is for everyone - Peace to you

[thrash205]

@christblaka C'est la vie

[ratfinkskates]

@christblaka it's a culture created by segregation, if you raised anyone of a different color in a "black" home then they would come out the same way psychologically, so yes, you are placing limitations by saying that.... because of the type of thinking you just displayed i am still and always will be called a wigga

[THAIWARRIOR777]

@christblaka So very true, this is BLACK music plain and simple, not to only be heard and loved by black people, but in a sense that we relate to this and it was made for us, I feel you completely.

[falconfan1990]

This is a time when rap was rap and not garbage lil wayne with no purpose.

[reggea971]

Je l'ai mise dans mes favoris .. Vraiment sympa ce son.. :)

[ALuvLikeNoOther]

Beautiful... I just heard this for the 1st on Pandora so I had to YouTube it and listen again. This song is on point and I'm loving it becuz I've found my Liberation. Ain't worrying bout what niggas and bitches think cuz I'm doing me and getting mines!!

[MrLOSangelesBITCH]

[jeneapatrice]

To have been in the studio when they were making this song... I wish.

[graffkidd21]

@jeneapatrice There would have been no words to describe that moment

[graffkidd21]

@jeneapatrice There would have been no words to describe that moment 

[jeneapatrice]

[MsThingstodo]

luv, real hip hop!

[Ethic13]

We used to be free. Now my music says SME. How are these videos and songs depleting from Americans grasp. Domesticated and unappriciated.

[Dezziliciousss]

"Id sacrafice every breath i breath to make u believe id give my life away"

[pillowpantsforlife2]

I personally feel that Cee-lo did the best on this song, his part just seemed more emotionally charged than Erykah's

[SuperPinkscorpio]

@pillowpantsforlife2 I agree with you.

[TheTTriixxxShow]

Erykah took it, killed it, made it HERS!

[123supercool1]

Da realist shit i have ever heard

[celestelear]

I just elevated a notch listening to this track.

[dparks84]

Outkast I love you.... this is true soul music and liberation for the mind...truth in words which is rare to find in the garbage being flooded on the airways...why can't they play this instead of all the same bull shit...

[JAYSUN1988]

@dparks84 yo thats so true this is better than that BS on the radio and it's real

[HABASHABAnumba1]

oh shit this stoned

[ZacK8816]

yezzer

[Chris4real31]

This song can liberate the soul if you let it. I love spoken word and think this was the best outkast album ever. No struggle no progress.

[ShiningSun2K]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and one of my favorites of all time. I saw Outkast back in '01 and Goodie Mob was there, so I was hoping so hard that they'd play this, but they didn't. Still, it was easily one of the best concerts I've been to and I'm grateful I got to see them perform together at all seeing as how they pretty much spit just a couple years later.

[lasvegascat63]

THIS IS THE TEAM IM ON,PEOPLE TODAY MAKE YOU ASHAMED TO BE "BLACK "& "AMERICAN" WE HAVE A CHOICE PEOPLE USE THAT TOOL BETWEEN YO EARS,THE TRUTH IS STRONGER THAN A LIE ANYDAY !

[h95718]

they know we still under this CRAKER!! WHO IS HA SATAN!!...

[brianbrianbrianavant]

big rube speaks to all knuckle headed rappers who just want the money and say whatever it takes to make an album sell, not realizing for you to make it at the expense of even one human soul is to sit at the devils table sip wine and plot the pain and destruction of humanity.

[brianbrianbrianavant]

someone said erykah stole the song of course she did our women are the most important thing in this universe so when someone of her passion and love speaks like that its like a lightning bolt to your soul that can not be ignored

[brianbrianbrianavant]

this is one of the most powerful messages that a person could hear of any race but more so for my black brothers and sisters that either know they have lost their way or never knew what a positive path is but people hear this and dont change is it possible people to completely loose every ounce of good in their heart "make a million dollars make a million more first class broad treat ya like a nigga poor" "all ya wanna do is give the world your heart,label makes ya compromise"

[brianbrianbrianavant]

BEST TRACK OF ALL TIME OF ALL MUSIC NO DISRESPECT TO OTHER AMAZING ART this song will touch the heart of the hardest man or coldest woman this is god speaking thru speakers that have nothing but love in the heart this song is timeless 10,000 years ago or 10,000 years in the future but with great pain being part of the human experience from the beginning of time will it ever end the further we come the more pain people figure out to cause maybe we know we are a doomed species

[OmegaWeaponFFVIII]

classic.

[EmmeEsq]

Soul Cleansing.

[sebslop]

i swear to god tears rolled down my face from 2:02 to 4:02. that was just beautiful.

[Caffin9galveZ]

@sebslop ..I feel you..did you see the other two Liberation videos with actual footage?I'm sure if you did then your tears fell even harder..This is a powerful song

[CassiusAli3000]

@sebslop Never swear on Gods name...read ya word.

[BrooklynisHAM]

Love this track! The music to this shit is soooo HOT especially beginning at 6:20. Shit is FLY!

[cKunke2]

The way the Nathaniel skit fades into this is emotional magic put on record. You can feel his struggle and hurt voice, and this song matches it perfectly. Favorite 'Kast track right here, and thats definitely saying something.

[buddydagoat]

thank-y'all
