Throwback Thursday: Outkast

Posted on 15 May 2008 by DT


The year was 1993/94, hold up, what the fuck? It’s been about 14 -15 years since these cats debut? God damn, I’m gettin’ old. As I was saying the year was ‘93/’94 and the east and west coasts were fully reppin, what appeared to be out of nowhere came this fresh new duo called The Outkast. The group consisted of Dre, now known as Andre 3000, and Big Boi. The duo brought this fresh southern sound that hip hop hadn’t heard at the time and flipped the script. The song featured here is a CLASSIC, “Player’s Ball” came out in ‘93 and shot straight to number 1 on Billboard and eventually went gold. This helped push out their debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, which featured Goodie Mob and production by Organized Noize. My favorite verse that made me go “oooooooooh shit”, mostly cus this is a fuckin’ tongue twister was done by Dre and goes:

“it goes simply ten and i’ll serve you then now we bend the corner in my
cadillac my heart does not go pitty pat for no rat i’m leaning back my
elbows out the windows cold rum and indo fills my body where’s the party
we rode deep we dip to underground see’s a lot of hoes around i spit my
game while waiting count down a five, fo a three two here comes the one
a new year has begun, please folks, spark another one”
