Outkast are great, and are definitely one of the more refreshing hiphop-acts within the last decade (along with Dizzee Rascal's 2003 album Boy in da corner). Haven't bought anything rap/hiphop-related in years, but I'm seriously considering buying Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, even though they turned it into a double-CD with more filler than is good for one's patience; they could have released an absolutely great 1 CD album instead.

And Timber, I doubt no one got the 50 cent reference - but there's a difference between noting and actually caring.

I love that album, I think it's one of the best new things I've heard in ages. Tbh, I've not been inspired by much music produced over the last decade or so, but last year was excellent and proved that you don't necessarily have to be shite to get into the charts!

Now that you mention it I get the 50 cent reference, but only scan-read the post in the first place.

I'll make a note to check out Dizee Rascal. Grijoliach, lol on the 50 Cent and touche. And note how I continue to try to identify new ways to misspell your name.

I like the new albums a lot, very mellow and smooth stuff. You'll be surprised how non-hiphop-ish some of the stuff on The Love Below is.

One reason they released it that way, as noted in a recent article I read, is that basically they made these albums independently rather than as a group. Big Boi and Andre have distanced themselves from each other quite a bit and their music is starting to grow apart. Will Outkast break up?

I was aware of the idea behind the album, but thanks for the info regardless. They were smart enough to combine their solo efforts under the established name of Outkast, though - I doubt Hey Ya would have been as successful in the global charts if it was released under Andre 3000's name.

And the Dizzee Rascal album has been released in the US recently (by Matador), so at least that'll save you from having to pay for any expensive import versions, if it comes to that.
You can download the track Fix up, look sharp at the Matador site. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have this problem: Whenever I play "Hey Ya" I can't help but dance around like an idiot. My wife looks at me like I'm a freak... and then joins in. [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Andre's album contains a really good song called "Happy Valentine's Day," and I'm wondering why he didn't release this song in January. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

I think Hey-ya is an amazing song for one reason - Its one of the only modern songs i know that all kinda of people like. I like it, 'cool kids' like it, all the 'sozard' kids like it, all the 'god hates us all' kids like it. I'm sure you get the picture.

What's so cool is that the song is very reminiscent of older upbeat dance music while still being cool enough to be played in modern dance clubs. (Does anyone know if it a reworking of a 60's song?) Then there are the tongue-in-cheek lyrics where very dodgy things are suggested, but sung in a way that they are almost disguised. It's quite clever, as is most of the album.

Here are the lyrics if you're interested.

AMG lists the song as being written by Dre 3000 himself (with no other credits), so I think it's a safe guess to name it an original song. 'Sides, OutKast was never really one to cover others; they've proved on more than one occasion that they're capable of writing killer hooks, and this is no different. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hats off to them totally! I'm a big fan of outkast and I think he's one of the only people who could get away with the outfit he wears in that video in parts and still look like one cool dude
