Pick your favorite OutKast track

Stepfather · Post by **Stepfather** » Fri Feb 12, 2010 3:47 am

I picked Crumblin'...

But I always thought this was the best Outkast verse of all time.

Off of Goodie Mobs "Thought Process"

The thought process...
Now as an Outkast I was born, wasn't warned of the harm
That would come to meet me like Met Life, but yet life
Done sent me through a lot of up's and down like it ain't nothing'
Like elevators but I ain't the one that's pushin' the buttons
I got off at the 13th floor, when they told me that it wasn't one
They said it skipped from 12 to 14
Still smoking, still drinking, no I'm sittin' on the Lincoln
4 A.M. thinkin' that in reality the world is like a ball full of playas
We trapped off in this maze with walls made of layers
And only prayers is the tightest game that you can have
The devil's takin' a swing that might explain the broken glass
But my crystal ball see the pistol fall to the wayside
Nobody would die in cops and robbers when we used to play right

Huh, the only thang we feared was Williams, Wayne
Never though about hittin' licks or slangin' caine
Didn't think I'd be the one to give in to abortion
Label me murder because my ass is scorchin'
Hot from the glock that sits under my seat
Yeah, it's real fucked up that my folks come to get me
And it's like dat, yeah...and it's like dem!

-Andre

"My mind warps and bends
floats the wind
count to ten
meet the twin
Andre Ben.
welcome to the lion's den
original skin
many men
comprehend
I extend myself so you go out & tell a friend
Sin all depends
on what you believing in
Faith is what you make it that's the hardest shit since MC Ren
Alien can blend
right on in wit' yo' kin
look again
'cause I swear I spot one every now & then
It's happenin' again
wish I could tell you when
Andre this is Andre y'all just gon' have to make amends"

Because its my favorite rap verse of all time...OF ALL TIME!

PEACE

Crazy man...because Goodie Mob is pretty high on my greatest rap group list, and all those cats were doing everything in-house. That is one hell of a perfect storm they had going.

I really need to reasses my love for Outkast's music. For the past few years I've tried to be contrarian because they seem so overjocked, but relistening to their music ... fuck, these motherfuckers are on some whole other shit. I won't front on them again.

Twice upon a time there was a boy who died twice
and lived happily ever after but that's another chapter
live from home of the brave with dirty dollars
& beauty parlors & baby bottles & bowling ball Impalas
& street scholars that's majoring in culinary arts
You know how to work bread cheese & dough
from scratch but see the catch is you can get caught
Know what ya sellin' what ya bought so cut that big talk
Let's walk to the bridge now meet me halfway
now you may see some children dead off in the pathway
it's them poor babies walkin' slowly to the candy lady
It's lookin' bad need some hope
like the words maybe, if, or probably more than a hobby
when my turntables get wobbly they don't fall
I'm sorry y'all I often drift I'm talkin' gift
so when it comes you never look the horse inside it's grill
of course you know I feel like the bearer of bad news
Don't want to be it but it's needed so what have you
Now question is every nigga with dreads for the cause?
Is every nigga with golds for the fall? Naw
So don't get caught in appearance
it's Outkast Aquemini another Black experience

That felt good to post.

I picked Aquemini. from the list...

Comedy Quaddafi · Post by **Comedy Quaddafi** » Fri Feb 12, 2010 12:37 pm

hard to pick. I think I listen to Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik more than any other 'Kast song, so I guess that would be the logical pick for me.

sticking together like flour and water to make that slow doe

excellent. i guess the hook for aquemini and the entire andre verse from synthesizer (microwave me!) are some of my favorite lyrical performances. that verse is something else, i think aquemini is their best album lyrically. also,

paragraph indent, i make intense sense
niggaz on that gil-scott dope, hint hint
@ age 15 they start smokin billy clint
now they 24 and want to know where the time went
hey hey what's the haps? we see your time elapsed,
but have you ever thought of the meaning of the word 'trapped'?
baboon on yo back, but what's that? it's that crack
was first introduced to hispanic communities then black
then it spread to white and got everyone undivided
attention cuz yo daughter is on it and you can't hide it
rehab too crowded, maybe yo son tried it
they scared they they scared i say they scared to talk about bout it

If you ain't got no rims nigga, don't get no wood grain steering wheel,
For real, you can go on chill out and still build
let your paper stack instead of going into overkill,
pay your fucking beeper bill, bitch!

Players Ball but there are lots of great songs on the list

wouldve probably voted for either West Savannah or Spottieodiedopalicious or maybe Slump over just about anything else though
