Hip Hop Thursday - Outkast 'Slump'

Anyone for Southern Rock Sundays? No? Good. To Southernfried hip-hop then.


DOWNLOAD: Outkast - 'Slump'

Not the stand-out track from '98's Aquemini CD. That'd be a tie between Rosa Parks and the insanity that was 'Bombs Over Baghdad' (prescient by 5 years or late by 7? you decide).

Back to 'Slump' (must be said while slumpin'). Manages to be angry, happy and descriptive all in one. Somehow the line about 'buyin' all the weed and all the chickin' has stuck in my head for a while.

Think this was back when Big Boi and Dre 3k were still hangin' on the same stoop in the Dirty-dirty ATL. Big dreams in their heads, but they still hadn't moved out of the hood.

Also funny for the revelation that Andre used to work at Steak'n'Ale.
