Re: new outkast album. discuss.

Re: new outkast album. discuss.
Hey Ya! is awesome. I'm trying to figure out how to get my classic rock cover band of 40-year olds to do it. I also want to do the first verse of "Happy Valentine's Day" at a Feb 14th gig. I imagine people would love it, even if they didn't get the reference.
So far it's the Speakerboxxx side that's really knocking me out. I haven't listened to very much of it so far, but Ghettomusick is a great intro, and Bowtie really knocked me out. Sick sick horns on that one. I like how on some of the tracks he used a live band, too.
I thought I'd like Andre 3k's side more than Big Boi's, but so far that hasn't been the case. I think Andre3k is stretching out a lot more on The Love Below and experimenting, while Big Boi is sticking to what he does best.

Re: new outkast album. discuss.
there is a cool article in slate today about how outkast are the best rock band out there:
http://slate.msn.com/id/2089335/
this is what struck me as so interesting about outkast: a hip hop band making my favorite pop rock song that i have heard in a while! how cool is that?
you never see a rock band make a truly great hip hop song. but outkast just throws a rock song out there and it is amazing. goes to show how much talent it takes to make a great hip hop act.

I haven't listened to it yet, but they've always been pretty interesting.
Isn't Devil's Haircut the riff from I Can Only Give You Everything (Them w/ Van Morrison)? There used to be a website out there dedicated to just that song - it said there have been almost 200 recorded covers of it.

Re: new outkast album. discuss.
This shit is awesome. I've been spending more time with speakerboxxx but Hey Ya is the cut. The prodution throughout is the great. I really like the way when choruses are sung they still feel like part of the song. So many colaboration rap songs just sound like 2 songs thrown together.
I will agree on the length issues. Eeldip what are you including in your short versions? I've never been a fan of stupid interludes on rap albums. A lot of albums would be much better off without them. The Bamboo one is funny though. He sounds like me singing: The whole world ,um, la lalala la la.

Re: new outkast album. discuss.
It's too good. I heard they are casting Andre as Jimi Hendrix in a movie due out next year. Could there be a better choice?
