Okay, it’s not remotely an unknown that I have eclectic tastes in music. I have long held a love for hip-hop and electronica although, to be fair, my tastes are decidedly picky when it comes to either. I do not remotely love it all, moreso, it could be said, that I like very little of it, but I do have my favorites and Outkast is one of them.
Unlike most, I was not introduced to the band by way of “I’m Sorry Miss Jackson” or “Hey ya”. This was the first song that really turned my head their way. I’d been a fan for sometime of high bpm electronica and groups of the ilk such as the Proppellerheads or Atari Teenage Riot, so the first time I heard this song, which was a sort of combination of that and a few verses of well put together fast rhymes, well..I was hooked. It was more of a pleasure, as they gained notoriety, to notice the breadth of talent in their group, and the pool of styles they picked from always keeping things fresh.
So there you go. I like this and now I sound like a snob, hahah.
