Da Art of Storytellin' Part II should get more love. like the distorted vocals, the gloomy beat, and the monk-like chant between verses or whatever that is.

Surprised Ya'll Scared didn't get a single vote, it was an early fave from this album.Not surprised about Mamacita, I must be one of the only people who doesn't see this track as a low point.Wanted to say that by revisiting this album, I was surprised how effective Slump is. It's so difficult to say where the strongest part of the album is, could be anywhere (even the last tracks apparently for some).

i always used to hate mamacita but somehow it eventually became like an old friend

shocked by the lack of support for slump, but i guess there are so many great tracks on Aquemini that it can fall through the cracks

wait how did I only just now notice that Andre's mention of "Set It Off" in "Spottieottiedopalicious' is accompanied by a "Set It Off" woodblock?

Agreed. Amazing to think this was the same group that made "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik" only four years earlier.

Was driving a few guys home from basketball open gym a couple years ago and "spottie" came on. They listen exclusively to contemporary hip hop. They all made fun of the song, "wtf is this???" etc. It was then that I realized civilization was doomed.

What about the song would strike contemporary hip-hop fans as ridiculous?

"wtf is this" is a fair reaction, but it should be followed up by a "play it again, tho" naturally

thank you all for reminding me to play this incredible album again. i feel like i know every note. except somehow i’d forgotten the harmonica in rosa parks??! anyway massive proustian rush of living on 4th ave in brooklyn. weird i didn’t vote in this but i never vote in polls so maybe not weird. very few votes on this poll in general. impossible to choose. art of storytellin 1 is so good. but it all is good

I think everything Young Thug knows about Andre 3000 comes from that Key and Peele sketch.

In 2010 I used to have this problem with our radio station students and early Jay-Z, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep. The most old school hip-hop agnostic was a Lupe fan lol.
Later in the decade Kanye before 808s got wiped.

sry- that's the track "everlasting" which appeared on the nothing to lose soundtrack from summer 1997. i have no idea if it was an early aquemini demo or an atliens leftover.
what i do know is that it completely smashes everything.
― i'd rather do music and chill tf out (Austin), Monday, 9 January 2023 00:38 (one year ago) link
Do they have a lot of extra tracks laying around on b-sides/soundtracks? I never poked around outside of the albums.
― Cow_Art, Monday, 9 January 2023 03:29 (one year ago) link
not a lot lot, but enough to supplement a solid mixtape-
"benz or beamer""phobia""everlasting""in due time""high schoolin""sole sunday""speedballin""land of a million drums"
"in due time" is also one of their best; it was pulled off aquemini last minute for whatever reason.

oh i was just sticking to soundtrack cuts. they never really had any proper b-sides. but i mean yeah: all that stuff is 100% worth your time.
goats gonna goat.

outkast's guest cuts, soundtracks, b-sides, etc equal maybe their fourth best album

Really wish they'd put out a compilation scooping up all of that stuff. It's not like they've released anything in the past decade and a half - not even a deluxe reissue.
