Da Art Of Storytellin'

[davidsamuelhoude]

all of the bullshit we on our back starin at the stars above *(awww man)* talkin bout what we gonna be when we grow up i said "what you wanna be?" she said "alive" *(hmm)* it made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes i coulda died, time went on, i got grown rhyme got strong, mind got blown, i came back home to find lil sasha was gone her mamma said she w/ a nigga that be treatin her wrong i kept on singin my song and hopin at a show i would one day see her standin in the front row but

[davidsamuelhoude]

[davidsamuelhoude]

Now Suzy Skrew had a partna named Sasha (Sasha), Thumper (Thumper) I remember her number like the summer when her and Suzy yeah they threw a slumber - - party but you can not call it that cause it was slummer Well it was more like spend the night Three in the morning yawnin dancin under street lights We chillin like a villain and a nigga feelin right in the middle of the ghetto on the curb, but in spite all of the bullshit we on our back starin at the stars above (aww man) Talkin bout what we g

[jarbon5]

Andre's verse on this song is one of the best verses ever spit in hiphop. His verse is 100% real talk! Had a female friend who killed herself because of some worthless-ass clown, so I know what he's talking about here:(

[boyinblackoiyuuf]

such a classic! spent a year in puerto rico with nothin but aquemini on repeat.

[ma187187187]

This is from Aquemini not stankonia

[ShutTheFuckUp0809]

Andre 3000 had the best and one of the saddest verses I ever heard man. Real talk. Sad!

[JahWorks420]

this my shitchere i just always wondered why they left rick's verse off the album (at  least off the 3 copies that i have owned in 12 years)..

[laorbie]

I Remember goin outside playing on the streets with my cousins, this would be playin on my neighboors radio, ahh the 90's, before technology changed shit

[jpXoX0]

shit live!!!!

[sean311973]

This brings back nostalgic feelings. I remember me and my boys would play this in the my car a run down Buick Riviara. Damn I'm getting old. LOL

[MrJSU2010]

MAN I STILL GOT THIS ALBUM.I LOVE THIS SONG.

[darksonic50047]

she said she wanna sick my duck, cool

[suppersready45]

so i started seeing all these comments about andre 3000 being the best rapper out there... im a huge wayne fan and after hearing this ive decided that 3000 IS AWESOME. but to say lil wayne is garbage?? in my opinion lil wayne is a metaphor master.. maybe this best rapper argument could be resolved by hving best rappers for different styles

Andre 3000: best flow and rhyme scheme

tupac: most meaning in music

biggie nd wayne take the cake for metaphor using

eminem can make phrases rhyme

[deuce9gohard]

@suppersready45 you white arent you?

[wutangforever34]

@suppersready45 I feel you.

[JJJinXXX]

@suppersready45 :O WHAT ABOUT ICE CUBE

[jezues213]

@suppersready45 can you please give me some tittles of lil wayne songs where his metaphors stand out. Im so confused that someone can actually believe that. I want to see what all the buzz is about. thanks

if you like metaphor you have to look up one be lo that cat is amazing. Or look up the work he did while he was in binary star

[ahmad312]

@suppersready45 sucka please. Metaphor using goes to Lord Finesse and Big L hahaha. Wayne is decent. But he has nothing on Outkast or anyone who reached platinum before 2004.

[GR83VE]

THiz my sHit! So soulful!

[yellopanda]

sky high graduates !!

[jtm0005]

Ice Colds puppet is hilarious in the car at the end

[zwagger100]

still dont know why you picked me out of a large selection

was it based on all my faults and imperfections

with you by my side i feel a thought of protection

so my existence wont turn into a overly misguided projection

[metalmanjfisch]

This song is the shit. Anyone know what artist they sampled for this track?

[djn00nan]

[ltrizzle84]

OUTKAST COME BACK!!!

[SwornWordsWornswords]

lol lol lol so i can sick your duck

[DavieGetsBlunted]

LOL Love the Big Boi Perm and Lyrics

"Lets Head To The Parking Lot So I Can Sick Yo Duck.

[PorkchopCupcake]

They all had great verses, it's a damn good song but I don't really like the way the video was done.

I liked seeing Slick make a cameo on this track, people hadn't heard from him in while, and then he popped on this track and a lot of people freaked out because it was like he had never stopped rapping. That's when you know they're great, because it's like they've never lost a step.

[0BALLINN0]

this is real and valuable art. I loved Andre's verse the most because it was sad but thats life. ITslikethatnow

[klkandy]

clean version = (

[IpkisStanley]

the video really doesn't fit andre3000s part, good track though

[kreepsta02]

ITS LIKE THAT NOW.....

[m12pinky]

Blunt + this song = the art of storytellin

[TheYukonDriver]

Best Hip-Hop Group. STAMP IT! Logout!

[TheMayhemMethod]

[Ovito85]

[walesgal93]

'three in the mornin, yawnin, dancin under streetlights' this shit is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!

[Dean050709]

thats my favorite part!!! =D

[SilentBombr]

I love the way Big Boi is wearing his chain and piece over his apron at the start, like he doesn't give a fuck if he gets paint on it.

[cokeluvr]

man back when rap was good their was good music on the air waves and if you listen close you could hear a good story like this......

[xAlexGotSlapsx]

haha he can sing, he can rap, he can play instruments.

what cant stacks do ?

[ShutTheFuckUp0809]

LOL

[DelbertDUHH]

seems to me he could be called "Jesus" instead of 3Stacks or Dre or Andre 3000 :]

shit in this video he can even paint

[Yung11]

Be bad at what he does?

[wudzbwoijmar]

I'm 16 years old now, and I just remember back in '98 when this came out and my daddy used to play aquemini everyday, I just remember the video coming on BET and my daddy boogyin to it and me tryna sing to the chorus. For me bein raised on OutKast, they the best thing to ever happen to music to me.

[ATL404fila]

[smalls469]

[fan296]

damn this track is so mellow

[falsereality159]

Chrono Trigger and Outkast FTW~~~!!!!

[Slowchemical622]

I like how lyrics still sounds clean without the curses from the original version nowadays no one's clever anymore so they either bleep it out or say stupid shit (ex: Jim Jones Suck it or not video "My things harder than a rubber rubber")wtf is that

[hiphopbwwsoccer]

This is nerdy, but... what the hell. Anybody played a Super Nintendo game "Chrono Trigger"?

You can time travel, and one of the times you travel to is 12,000 BC. Ialways blast this when I go there in the game. Somehow it fits with the game. I said it was nerdy.

[ScoobyBBS]

that's random as shit.... but cool though, i just found my sega genisis yesterday in a box in my attic, its about to go down....

[Tspeedy12]

yea i luv that game

[SirPsikotic]

Great track...bottom line.

[superfalko]

from the first time......one love boys

[YungAlCreationz]

Big Boi & Andre 3 Stacks

This is REAL HIP HOP!!!

[AUGUSDI]

RESPECT MAN ;)

[hiphopbwwsoccer]

to zolf2: here are a few I respect like crazy

MF Doom- crazy output

Pharoahe Monch- insane MC

Outkast isn't commercial, but these two don't have the "mass appeal" that Outkast does.

[Baystate06]

Pharoahe Monch is an absolute beast!!!!!! Oh yeah, Andre 3k one of the best, Outkast one of the best groups, all the art of storytellings are crack

[nochevinny]

BIG BOIS HAIR OFF THE CHAIN!!!!!!!

[yoyobogan]

I hate the album didn't have Slick Rick on it. I wonder why?

[legit2344]

my fav outkast track right here

[Zaporiah]

I LOVE THIS SONG!! so if u think it's garbage, y u watch it in the first place. You just made that comment just to hurt people that loves outkast. git a life.

[deltuh]

garbage ..

[antimantium]

I favor aquemini over at-aliens

[zolf2]

This video makes me laugh so hard cuz of the puppets!

Nobody puts out music like these boys did. If you know anyone you respect like you did these guys you best post it and let us know!

[pizzaman3210]

ya i no like what the hell happened with hey ya wtf was that shitt ....whered they go?

[shosten1]

Simply one of best inspiration in hip hop of all time... "aquemini" certified conform: "chef d'œuvre".

[shosten1]

As u just said "mamajaja24",this boys are far best rap duo ever, i agree 100 percent.

this two have always kicked it truly since the beginning,with The "savoir-faire",such as true artisans.

just look at title of this master's pièce:"Da art of storytelling".

(from parisian french thought).

[starbury203]

Slick Rick kinda looks like Nas

[mamajama24]

This song is hard as hell Outkast is by far the best rap duo ever

[trustnoman101]

I USED TO LOVE THIS SONG!!

[cantouchme123]

I just realized that was slick rick .___.

[RedNoir]

lol massive fail How did you not know! He is "the best story teller" duh

[cantouchme123]

Lol, I know but I am used to his old school stuff.

He sounds a little different in this.

[alexsep82]

have u listened to Da Art of Storytelling pt4 ??

[justme93662]

slick rick tops with his lyrics. nice flow.

[goggzy212]

This song is amazing. Andre 3000 has an incredible turn of phrase, whilst Big Boi is so slick and quick. Sweet shit all round.

[imnarry]

both of them are underrated people sleep on big boi all the time. I guess Because its The flow I love Most

[sleepnabox]

yea people don't ever realize how nasty big boi can be with it. Outkast is nothing but quality.

[LITTLER0CKAR]

man, one of the best hip hop acts of ALL TIME.

that sample KILLS!

GOSH! OUTKAST WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!

[XplicitVocalz]

Man this brings back some good memories, I used to bump this joint all the time and that Rosa Parks song from that same Aquemini album. Like I always say OutKast has been hot since they came in the gate with that first album, but it took a while for some other folks to realize how dope they are.

[markcusvongphachanh]

one of the greatest songs

[goggzy212]

This song is amazing. Andre 3000 has an incredible turn of phrase, whilst Big Boi is so slick and quick. Sweet shite all round.

[hiphophead21]

Not on an Outkast cd? You must've started rapping in 97 and stopped listening to Outkast that same year when they released Aquemini which is where this track appears.

[mcd827]

wrong. slick rick doesn't have a verse on the aquemini version

[hiphophead21]

@mcd827 Not wrong, this version of the song, with Rick, is not on Aquemini, but both part one and two are. I never said Ricky was on Aquemini. Although I guess it could have been read that way when I say it's where it appears.

[thechunkyson]

This wasn't on a outkast cd. It was on Slick Ricks.

but either way it's a clasic.

I've been down with Outkast since 1994. They're the reason I started rapping.

[toddrick09]

its on the third cd they drop. number 9 or 10

[hamsandwich999]

probably listen to this song/watch the video everyday

amazing song

outkast one of the best rap groups, only second to ugk(r.i.p. pimp c)

slick rick=legend

[smimms]

Andre is one of the most underated rappers ever!! stop hearin him and listen.. his verses are full of content always. definitely in my top three.

[blaccstacy]

wow

[SWILLIAMS1982]

one of andre's best verses ever... he is remarkable, check his resume!!!

[kayode347]

It might be i'm not looking hard enough but is there a part 3 to Da Art Of Storytellin' cuz i've only found parts 1 ,2, 4. If anyone finds it tell me, cuz everything OutKast brings to the able is FIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!!!!!!!!

[bobsanchez456]

i believe this remix version of part 1 is considered part 3

[tlax415er]

Aquemini was definitely one of the best albums ever released

[WillMillion15]

IMO, it is the best hip hop album released ever.

[yyGODyy]

yeah I think even though it got five mics it was still under rated. I still listen to it. Shit i'm listening right now.

[K1J2H3thahotone]

I want a man like andre!!!...ill be ya badu

[jbking91192]

SLICK RICK IS A BEAST

[Zaporiah]

andre is so cute

[Pagan180]

This is GOOD MUSIC!...Andre 3000...TOP 5!Big Boi...UNDERRATED!Slick Rick...Pillar of Hip Hop!...Great collabo!

[ilmatic35]

year = 00, place = Hanau Germany heading to the club with my boys, 40's being drunk, free stylin as we passed the invisible mic in the car, my boy blasts this song and it sealed the moment forever (at least in my mind)

[ninja731]

now thats when you know music really touches you.

[claytons34]

how the hell did we let someone like soulja boy come in and replace guys like this as the big rap artist???? it makes me sick hip hop is such a beautiful thing, the entire cultural, and ignorant assholes are defacing it this song is classic rick da ruler best story teller ever

[skeeskee1]

Hellz yea...fucking ringtone rap

[ytoob32]

[NSO82]

I know someone already pretty much said this but, u have to be a fucking retard to diss someone like Slick Rick

[youngsmoke12345]

[bigfreddy73]
