"Roses" by Outkast is filled with wisdom

[Robbie3000]

What shots they throw at Master P?

Yes, they can bite, but cannot be us
They can come and pick up little slang but cannot see us
You ought to be ashamed, trying to fit in "My Adidas"
So +Run+ like +D.M.C.+ is me and no, don't got no heater

 

[Torrential]

Listening to the whole album from start to finish right now

 

[Boogie]

"Nothing last forever but what makes love the exception?"

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

and it's OD hilarious how huge that song was for being a "feel good" track

people blastin that shyt at their weddings

dre prolly shed a single tear of frustration when he seen the numbers it was doin

I remember his saying he hated performing the song

 

[Beerus]

Time to pause because the internet
N really get into this album

i got a thumbdrive in my truck full of nothing but outkast and dungeon material i revist freuqently, the entire click is slept on, u dont have ti if u the dungeon never put out parental advisory

......

That whole crew is one of the greatest things to happen to URBAN music.............. Even that Dungeon Family comp album received too much hate... I'll admit it wasn't as great as it should have been, but the album was still amazing and another piece to the immaculate Dungeon catalog

 

[James Carter]

Well, I just feel like,
Well, to be honest with you
God, I just need a sweet bytch
You know, somebody not too fast
But not too slow
Cause I don't have it all my damn self
And life ain't easy
You know you just want somebody by your side to help smooth that thang out
You know what I'm talking bout?

i was feeling that at 15/16 brehs , shyt is even realer now.

I mean I am not being picky
She doesn't even have to have a big ol' ass
But you know
Just something well proportioned to her body
You know a nice little tail

Stacks was rapping to my soul on Aquemini man. And that Millenium verse, everybody has felt like that at some point in time. What I love about Dre is that he connects with the emotion experiences bring. Not the experiences themselves. A dude like Cole is on some "hey I went to college too, girls be tripping man". Dre gets into them deep emotions without relying on the same experiences

"Aquemini" is one of my favorite albums of all time.. I'm talking next to Purple Rain, Thriller, and Appetite for Destruction.

Aquemini has too much heat and it touches subjects from everywhere. To me the only rapper that had as much commercial balance as Dre and Big Boi was Pac... fukk, "Return of The G" just makes me want to slap the first person I see

 

[Why-Fi]

one album i always regretted not listening to (hated hey ya)...now im on some some whole new regret level

 

[Hades]

For many years I couldn't listen to "She Lives In My Lap" after it was released. Entirely too many feels. I can probably listen once maybe twice a year now. The damn chorus is going off in my head as I type this and them old feels is a coming back to the surface. One of my all time favorite songs. That DAMN BREAKDOWN!!!!

"She Lives In My Lap"
(feat. Rosario Dawson)

[Intro: Rosario Dawson]
[laughter]
What's wrong? What are you afraid of?
The Love Below

[Verse 1: Andre 3000]
She stays alone, never sheds a single tear
She stays in the coolest moods, clearly woman of the year
She and all her girlfriends, they go out dressed to win
She comes back to the cooler side of town
but she lives in my lap

[Chorus: Andre 3000]
She lives in my lap [repeat 6X]
Forever my fiance
She lives in my lap
Don't leave, don't stay
She lives in my lap
I'll get the courage one day

[Verse 2: Andre 3000]
Make me want you, make me miss you
make me wonder where you are, then forget you
Girl remind me, just who we are
We're oh so close, but yet so far

[Interlude]
[Rosario Dawson:] Baby why are you acting like this?
I don't care about any of them...
I care about you!
Baby I Love you!

[Andre 3000:] You've got me open wide (I love you)
Just Come inside (baby)
It's yours (it's yours)
I'm yours (i'm yours)
For sure (for sure)
Play baby play...

[Chorus + interlude + scratching til fade...]​

 

[T-K-G]

the sad thing is it took all of y'all 10 years to appreciate this album

y'all were shytting on it and gladly bumping gansta rap in its place in 03

you actin like that gangsta shyt still wasn't fire in 03, calm down breh


i was like 12 when this dropped i wasn't catchin concepts and entendres til lu dropped like 2 years later

 

[iMajor]

I think I might switch my name to Cupid Valentino.

Got a sweet lil' darling back in my corner
Below I know I love her, but act like I don't want her
Surrounded by the lonely, but yet feel like a loner
Could be an organ donor
The way I give up my heart, but
Never know because ? shyt, I never tell her!
Ask me about my feelings I'd holla' that it's irrela'
I don't get myself caught up in the Jello gella'
And puddin' pops, that others opt to call falling in love, but
For the record, have you ever rode a horse?
Would I like for you to take me to Pluto?
I said, "Of course!"
But if you ain't a sweety indeedy, I won't endorse
Hans Solo till I'm hit by the bullet, so may the force
Be with you, and I'll hit you when better time permits
For now, give me examples of why you're the shyt!
But how am I to know with the profession that I'm in?
And if you do not know me, then how could you be my friend?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

All this 3stacks praise brings a tear to my eye.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Spread is my shyt

I dont want to
Move so fast but
Cant resist yo SEXY ASS so SPREAAAAAADDD...SPREAD FOR ME
