not trolling here, but when/how/why is "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" a thing? I had to look it up on YouTube just to know what Kast song it was... :/

bcuz its a beloved outkast single
― you cant see me markers (deej), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 12:13 (thirteen years ago) link
smh
according to wikipedia it wasn't a single?
(that's one i def don't remember from the time, and didn't hear until i finally copped aquemini about 5 years ago, and it's good but not really a stand-out even on its album imo)

just... no
smgdh
how is a 7 minute funk track with barely any rapping representative of Kast's career (btw, I 1000000% agree with you on Juicy and Check The Rime)

are we going to pick a different song from the pfork list each week to debate whether its really truly great/relevant/canonical/familiar? why is this coming up NOW?
― da croupier, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 12:48 (thirteen years ago) link
wouldn't harassing scott pl to release the files get to the bottom of the mystery faster than finding another thing that makes you go hmmmm?
― da croupier, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 12:50 (thirteen years ago) link
is 'things that make you go hmmm' really truly great/relevant/canonical/familiar?

"Things That Make You Go Hmmm" is just a "Bust a Move" rewrite.

because they were weirdos who did tracks like epic 7 minute funk jams w/ spoken word stories of being young & coming of age in ATL
fwiw my vote was 'skew it on the bbq' above this but this was much preferable to the more trad sounding stuff (bridge between 'elevators' & 'bob') and a much cooler choice imo than 'rosa parks'
― you cant see me markers (deej), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
In what world is "BOB" trad sounding??

this sort of proves the point

which isn't to say that it's the MOST representative, but i would say that it is 'very representative'
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2010 20:18 (thirteen years ago) link
like how can you not listen to big boi's part in that song & not say it's representative of big boi
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2010 20:19 (thirteen years ago) link
er, minus the first 'not' there
Because like three dozen dope tracks from 1994-1999 have Big Boi RAPPING on them!

really, who gives a damn what's representitive anyway? it's not a best artists of the 90s poll.

i agree, but we were talking about whether it was 'representative' or not cuz deej said it was
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 16 September 2010 00:40 (thirteen years ago) link
still sounds representative to me -- conceptually, artistically, not exactly close to their most out-there shit.
and its way closer in vibe feel concept & execution to the stuff they did when they were younger than 'the love below'
dudes ... sometimes you rap like THIS, and sometimes you rap like THAT

theres no wanky love song shit, its about going clubbing & meeting girls & when that life meets with "real life situations" & about growing up, in a specific geographic place& time, semi-autobiographical, piece of ATL nightlife/life in general, universal but local, basically a perfect split point between experimental artiness - i.e. the spoken word approach, the extended length - and the more traditional concepts & styles & sounds theyd worked with before .... awesome track that showed them first starting to really upend shit
so perfect for this era, where ppl are overrating the crap out of conservative faux-UGK rappers, that suddenly dudes want to HONOR THE FIRE of trad earlier Outkast where they "rap their asses off" (c. tom breihan) & have totally 180'd on the worthiness of the way outkast actually made a name for themselves as one of the greatest rap groups ever by playing w/ song form & experimenting musically.
imo aquemini is their best record (and spottieottie one of the album's highlights) for exactly this reason -- it was the pt at which they actually started to really emerge as, like, multidemensional musical minds but kept it anchored in the past & w/ a strong sense of personal identity, the tension & chemistry really taking shape
