OUTKAST

When I got home, I turned on the radio and waited, so I can record it on a blank tape. For an hour, I endured the boyband bombardment, and a little bit of techno shit, until the hip-hop show was on. Thinking about it now, I should've just tuned in ON the hip-hop show's sched. Spare my kid self.
I think it's in the middle of the show when they played it. I remember it was already past midnight. When the Dj said "Outkast", I flexed my fingers then pressed the recording button with precision . I pressed it right in time so the tape can catch the silence between the Dj's voice and the feedback noise in the beginning of the song.
Since then, I have been a big fan. One of the reasons why I like them is because they sound different from their contemporaries. Or even different to what hip-hop has been doing recently. They've successfully fused different genres(I cringe on this term, really) and created a sound of their own. Different from the stale shit others are doing.
Though, I still have to check out solo albums of Andre 3000 and Big Boi. But I can feel that I won't like Big Boi's solo material. Don't get me wrong, I love Outkast as a unit. But Big Boi isn't really someone to look out to. Andre 3000 is a different story though. I've been listening to The Love Below, and god damn that album doesn't have any flaws at all. I'll get back to that some other time.
Gateway album : Stankonia
Best album yet : Aquamini/Stankonia
