André 3000's outro at the end of the song 13th Floor/Growing Old, from their ATLiens album, was originally the hook for the song but they changed it and Debra Killings did a different hook instead. Rico Wade, who's one of the producer's of the song, said "We were listening to a bunch of Sade and stuff at the time. We had Marqueze write the hook for it. But the original hook was the end of Growing Old where it's fading out and we have André doing, 'See all them leaves must fall down, growing old…' That was the hook that they originally wrote to it, and we changed it."

High key classic. One of the best entries to the hip cannon and the American musical cannon in general. Them, the features, concepts, production, visuals, and the OG George Clinton himself...

"ATLiens" has more classics then "Aquemini" and is an underrated classic album. It's my favorite album from them. :)

The beat for Player's Ball was originally for a group called The Drip Drop. Rico Wade, who's one of the producer's of the song, said "Player's Ball was for a Christmas album, so when [LaFace Records co-founder] L.A. Reid called me he was like, 'I need y'all to do a Christmas song.' And we had just kind of got the LaFace deal with OutKast, and this was the first thing he called and asked for. "Thing is, we don't really fuck with Christmas like that. That's where we were at the time, we were on some, 'Christmas is not one day out the year, it's every day.' For us, it was just about being realistic. People get caught up in the excitement of, 'I got to buy this, I got to do this and that” and they lose they mind. Our thing was, why wait till a certain time of the year? Every day you need to do something. And if it was Jesus birthday, of course it would be cool, but since we know it's not, whatever. But anyway, I told OutKast, 'We gotta do a Christmas, song but we'll just talk about what we don't do on Christmas, or what it means to us.' And while we were in the studio working on it, I had to go meet Ray at another session, cause he was working on a song for this group called The Drip Drop. I went over to the studio and I heard the beat he was doing. We took that beat and took it to the studio and turned it up. We ended up using that for Player's Ball. There were samples at the beginning, and we were like, 'We know we can't clear these samples' so that's when we got Big Rube to talk on the beginning. But that song ended up jumping off OutKast's career."

I love music of all genres and ATLiens is my all time favorite album.

OutKast was so big they didn’t need nyc radio.I wish groups in the 90s focused on college radio more.

i remember hearing the song " rosa parks" on the radio, when i was like 11 or so. 1998 i guess. i fell in love instantly. i remember sitting around the radio, around the same time i heard it the first time, hoping it would come on so i could record it on to a cassette tape lol i was eventually able to trick my mom in to thinking because the parental advisory sticker was smaller than the huge one on the no limit records tapes i was trying to buy, meant it didnt have many cuss words. i would listen to the tape everyday. my cousin 4 years older was big in to gangstarr and tribe and outkast. he let me borrow southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and atliens. then stankonia came out. i remember everytime hed come pick me up for us to go out, id asked him to put stankonia on. hed make fun of me cause i would always request the " gangster shit" song lmao... speaker boxx and love below, both crazy good in their own right. love the song " a life in the day of benjamin andre". i had the dungeon family album, the purple ribbon all stars, and the dre and big boi presents cd. hands down my favorite group, artist/s, fucking whatever you wanna call them. i have 2 tattoos paying homage to them. no matter the day or the mood, i can always put an outkast song on and feel a different type of way.

My homie has a theory as to why Andre 3000 started dressing that way. He says that Andre always held those thoughts to express that way but he was smoking and drinking. So my homie says Andre would dismiss those thoughts by saying, "Naw I'm high...I'm trippin...I ain't dressing like that." But when he stop smoking, he didn't have any catalyst to blame the thoughts upon...so he expressed. Lol. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Interesting theory...

Job Well Done as usual. 👏 Outkast is one of the best examples of Musical Growth when you listen to their discography and hear the changes in their latest album compared to their last album. No wonder they are on hiatus. Where do you go sonically after 'Speakerboxx/The Love Below'? I would like to see Tha Carter and Tha Carter II covered in a similar fashion as this video.

I can definitely agree

When Aquemini dropped I was working at Churches Chicken on Memorial Drive. Skew it on the Bar b had already dropped so i was stalking (i think at the time it was called) Warehouse Music waiting for the album to drop. When the album dropped I was fresh off the porch. My mama had kicked me out. I was Finding my manhood for the first time. Walking home from churches , riding Marta to Lennox, smoking Swishers in the Lakes apartments in Clarkston, waking up to the Art of Storytelling II, then drums!!! Return of the G …. Quoting the lyrics with my New York and New Orleans home boys. Who was on Wayne and Jay. Debating about who was better🗣️ all day erryday! That album kinda served as a dula of sorts for my new birth. And for sure my new soundtrack to manhood! Man! The Sonics on that album… then declarations.Then affirmations. The creativity. All that helped me to be free in my independence and I felt my face! So shout out to Outkast

Appreciate this so much 🙌 I’m in my OutKast phase atm and they’re two of my favourite albums ever for sure

I was in college when southernplayalistic came out and it was different from the jump. They dropped Playa's Ball first, and that set the stage for them to change the entire game. Their music, voices, lyrics and just the entire sound was a breath of fresh air.

Being from Florida I remember the first time I heard outcast! I went to Georgia just to try to see them when I was 18 but of course no dice. I did see them in concert though and they gave a hell of a show! One of the best groups to ever do it!

I was in 8th grade when Southernplayalisticcadillacmusic, came out. That following summer, Outkast did a promo concert at Anniston High School. ATLiens came out when I was 10th grade and Aquemini my senior year. I miss those days!

Mane, where do I begin... Well, me being born in 1989, I was only 5 years old when their debut dropped, 7 when ATLiens came out, and 9 when Aquemini came out. I knew of OutKast from the songs on the radio and their unique and influential videos like, Elevators (Me & You), ATLiens, and later Rosa Parks and B.O.B (Bombs Ova Baghdad). Even though I didn't really get their style, I knew the meaning and concept of OutKast, especially when you see Big Boi in regular rapper clothes and jewelry and André 3K would be wearing some shit you saw Parliament Funkadelic would wear on stage back in day. Their flows and rhyme schemes were different from each other AND other groups, which made them stand out. Then, as I got older, I started listening to them more and really got them and their whole vision. I didn't listen to their 1st album until 2013-'14 and I was blown away from song 1, because of their humble beginnings in the game and you can already tell they had something to say FRFR. The G.O.A.T.s of Southern Hip Hop/Rap

OutKast is one of the best groups. Classic music! And Andre 3000 was right the south got something to say. And 3000 is a problem always had classic verses.

OutKast has one the most flawless discographies of all time

Great video! Just subscribed. Outkast is my favorite group of all time. I was born in 2003 so I can't answer some the first reaction questions that you asked in the video lol. I was born a month before SpeakerBoxx/LoveBelow came out so that's my favorite album from them. I think whats most impressive to me is them being 18 and attempting to shake the world with their debut album. That takes true heart and passion.

The GOATS! Been waiting ages for this

Great story! Outkast is also one of my favorite groups, with Aquemini being my favorite album! So diverse, and IMO pushed hip hop forward and allowed even more creativity. Especially from the south! Another great vid from Mr Cancun ✊🏿🤎

Aquemini is my favorite Outkast album and in my opinion it’s top 3 greatest albums of all time.

I need more Outkast content in my life!

Great vid! OutKast is one of my most favorite hiphop duos/groups of all time, crazy thing is I've had them as my top artists on my Spotify wrapped for 2 years in a row now. I honestly didn't even know that I listened to their music that much. One of my fav tracks from OutKast also dropped in the time between ATLiens and Aquemini and that's In Due Time, to me it's kinda like Git Up, Git Out Pt. 2 (especially Cee-Lo's part), it dropped as a single from a movie soundtrack Also both ATLiens and Aquemini are amazing albums imo in my top 3 along with Stankonia. Southernplaya sometimes creeps to my top 3 as well tho. Just shows that they got an amazing discography

I'll never forget Aquemini tour (Greensboro coliseum) NC. Big Boi came out in your regular street gear (baggy jeans, Air Force ones, starter jacket hat to the back etc) crowd went crazy! But when Andre came out!!! He was wearing (a blonde wig, soccer shorts, a baseball catchers uniform with the body armor and the leg protectors, ski boots... And skateboard gloves) The crowd went bananas!!!!! I'll never forget 😢🙌🏿 Great fucking memories!!!

Man you killed this man I really appreciate this video man. 🙌🙌🙌👆👆

Elevators (me&you) was produced by Earthtone III, a production company that consist of Big Boi, André 3000 & Mr. DJ, who's the associate producer of the production group Organized Noize. Mr. DJ said "André 3000 actually did all of that." Mr. DJ also said "I started as the DJ for OutKast, and that's what I did for the first album. Towards the end of the first album, me, Dre and Big had a situation, and I stopped being the DJ and decided I was going to go and produce. And that's when I became an associate producer for Organized Noize. Later on, Big and Dre were like, 'Ay man, even though you're not DJing anymore, let's start a production company together.' Because at that point I had already produced that whole 8Ball & MJG album, In Our Lifetime Vol. 1, and some other stuff. So Big was just like, 'Man, we should just form a production company.' So me and OutKast formed a production company going into that second album, while we were still on the road. We called the company Earthtone III. Elevators was one of our songs produced for Earthtone III. I can remember Dre doing that beat, and we were actually on tour when he was working on it. The tour we were on was the Quad City Bass Tour, with the 69 Boyz and This & That. It was a summer tour. We had equipment hooked up on the tour bus, and Dre had his stuff hooked up in the back of the bus and we rode around with 'Elevators' for a long time-it was like a lot of little versions of it Dre kept playing on the bus. And when we got back to Atlanta, that was the first song that Earthtone III recorded ourselves, produced ourselves, and that was the start of us producing the rest of the albums. We kind of knew that Elevators was going to be something special. It's not a super complicated beat, but it resonates. Sometimes less is more."

Thank you so much man

This was a fantastic video bro 🙏 if you ever get around to making one on Stankonia and Speakerlove I’d tune in asap

Classic albums man

My favourite group !

Dope video as always. I would suggest 2Pac-Me Against The World/All Eyez On Me, DMX -It's Dark And Hell Is Hot/Flesh Of My Flesh Blood Of My Blood, Scarface-Last Of A Dying Breed/The Fix and Nas-Stillmatic/The Lost Tapes as 2 album videos.

I just read somewhere that the last song on their albums is a sneak peek into the style they are going on their next album. As you know, each of their albums has a unique sound.

The South most definitely got the praise and reception that they deserve❤ .. they made it possible for artists from the South to come out and be themselves 💯💸🔥🎶 .. and on another fact, I couldn't believe that Keisha Spivey seriously broke Andre 3000's heart and did him dirty after their 2 year relationship

The greatest group in hip-hop history. I'm from NYC and the heads always new they was hard, SPCM wasn't a classic imo but it had a few classic songs "Git Up and Git Out" , "Players Ball" , "Aint No Thang". But ATLien was a first to last track banger, Aquemeni was crazy, Stankonia bannanas, Speaker Box!

Outkast is one of the best hip hop duo’s of all time

Watching from Toronto 🇨🇦

Both albums are fire, but ATLiens hits home the most. My best friend and I had that album on repeat all summer long. Definitely a classic.

Aquemini...my fave outkast album!!

Thank you bro fr

OUTKAST Is not a group, OUTKAST is a SUPER TEAM

Mainstream and Decatur Psalm from Atliens are 2 of my fav songs of all time. Khujos verse on Mainstream is my favorite verse ever. Big gipps verse on Decatur Psalm is in my top 10.

When I listen to Aquemini and Stankonia I get a little sad. Because we really Don't see masterworks crafted like this anymore. Especially when it comes to attention to detail in production. We see it from Kendrick Lamar but that's about it for the most part

I first heard Aquemini while I was living in DC. My boy from ATL played SpottieOttieDopaliscious for me. I didn't think they were weird, but I did think they were from another planet. And that's when I learned what a trap house was.
