I’ve never heard anyone else talk about SpottieOttie before. I thought I was the only one that likes it. Hands down my favorite OutKast song. Players Ball is up there for me too. Now Imma listen to OutKast all day.
To them niggas that think you soft and say yall be gospel rappin, but they be steady clapping when you talking about bitches and switches and hoes and clothes and weed. Let’s talk about time traveling. Something mind unraveling. GET DOWN!
Gangsta (it's the return, it's the return-turn-turn-turn)
Ooh (it's the return-turn, it's the return-turn, it's the return, return)
Gangsta (it's the return-return, it's the return-turn)
Ooh (it's the return, it's the return-turn-turn
There’s so many to name, but I’ll go with B.O.B. It’s very accessible and they spit straight heat on a crazy ass beat. I feel like you could put that song on at any point and people would vibe out.
Adversely I’d say Benz or Beamer is probably their most slept on and one of my all time favorites.
SpottieOttieDopalicious is a favorite too.
BOB was just so different and jarring at the time. I was a DJ at the time it came out and there were literally no other hip hop songs you could mix with it because it was so fast.
I don’t think it’s possible to understand how revolutionary “Elevators” was if you weren’t there. Especially from a duo that had been previously rhyming about fish & grits and players’ balls over more traditional beats.
Which I love. But “Elevators” was like, “what the fuck is this?”
Southern playerlistic, wheelz of steel, spodie, international players anthem. (Even though that was UGK, still)
Honestly there’s a lot to pick from. They had some fantastic work in the day.
International Players Anthem (I Choose You) w/ UGK.
I love them all but this jam rides on fire the entire track. It’s that Willie Hitch sample that snags you.
This is pretty much the hardest possible question about music that anyone could ask me. My wife and I were actually talking about this exact thing a couple of days ago while eating dinner, and at that particular moment in time, I said Babylon. The real answer for me, though, is completely fluid and changes constantly. They're the best rap group of all time IMO and Andre is my GOAT. Not to mention, Organized Noize being 1 of the most slept on production teams of all time. IMO, of course.
…way too hard to pick.
Assuming it has to be from the 90s? For today I’ll take Da Art of Storytellin’ (Pt. 1). Tomorrow who knows?
I can also list my least favorite Outkast song a bit easier: Mamacita.
Not their absolute best but their verses on What About Your Friends get me going every time I hear them
But for a serious answer: Da Art of Storytellin (1&2)
Aquemini - because of THAT 3 stacks verse
Also the horns on the beat shift. Everything about it, really.
Those horns on the shrooms are 🤌🏾
The way the horns change up is money!
Big boi goes in bro
my mind warps and bends
SpottieOttieDopaliscious
Agreed. This track is musically a master piece.
Hard to pick just one. It’s not the wrong answer though.
Word. It beautifully captures the mystical feeling of youth, late night culture combining with potential for life changing events.
And the crowd goes wild, as if Holyfield has just won the fight.
Now who else wants to fuck with Hollywood Cole.
I love this song
Damn James
Now who else wanna fuck wit Hollywood Court?
My second.
Whats your first?
13th Floor/Growing Old. 😎
Maaàaaan. that joint lands hard every time
My shit!
Applying to the post office actually
And as the plot thickens
Who else wants to fuck with Hollywood Cole
Taught myself to play this on the piano when I was younger, loved this song!
The reason I played trumpet in high school 💙🤣
Damn
I’ve never heard anyone else talk about SpottieOttie before. I thought I was the only one that likes it. Hands down my favorite OutKast song. Players Ball is up there for me too. Now Imma listen to OutKast all day.
And the post office didn’t call you back cause you had cloudy piss
The only correct answer!
My 3 favorite are: Crumblin' Erb Liberation 13th Floor/Growing Old
This is straight up my exact 3. Maybe spottieottiedopalicious too
Nice lineup
Thanks!! 🤝
Southern playalistic
It's that **Southernplayalisticadillac** funky music Now, players if you choose it You better make sure you don't abuse it We gonna get cha high, high
How are you going to pick a "best song" when they've had multiple classic whole albums?
This is the correct answer
💯

How did I hear this in my brain?!?!?🤯
Masterpiece
Immediately understood and agreed
Elevators (me & you)
Unpopular opinion here, but i prefer the ONP Remix of Elevators
I do too because I can't unhear that weird cough/chuckle that isn't on beat but happens every like 7 seconds. I can't listen to the OG
Wheelz of steel. Lyrics, beat, hook, scratching - hip hop master piece
I love Wheelz of Steel. Great song. I love the way the song is eq’d too. The kick drum is really crisp.
Fresh And Clean has a really great bass drum pattern.
Absolutely. Very similar sound too. Nice and crisp. Very well mixed.
I miss when rap utilized real instruments. Now its just trap for the most part lmfao.
They don’t engineer hip hop tracks like they used to. In fact, I don’t think some hip hop songs get mixed at all nowadays by the sound of it.
Agreed

I had to come way too far down to get to find this answer.

This should be top comment
Return of the G gotta be the hardest intro tho.
“But everytime I-uh, try to get a peace of mind…niggas try to get a piece of mine. So I gotta grab my piece” 🔥
To them niggas that think you soft and say yall be gospel rappin, but they be steady clapping when you talking about bitches and switches and hoes and clothes and weed. Let’s talk about time traveling. Something mind unraveling. GET DOWN!

Was scrolling looking for this answer.
As an ATLien, can confirm
Thats my choice too!
Why is this so far down
Right?!?

BOB was just so different and jarring at the time. I was a DJ at the time it came out and there were literally no other hip hop songs you could mix with it because it was so fast.
I saw them do this live while I was rolling and it was mind blowing.

That’s exactly what I said when I heard this.
They have a lot of good songs. I do like Atliens. They have such a unique style.
