I can totally understand feeling like that, but I fear the Andre 3000 Quartet album.

Yeah, I know where he's going with this. He's calling me soft and easily influenced by the appearance of a guitar. Soon we'll be having another godforsaken argument about black vs. white music or some such nonsense.

Outkast has been at the top of the game since just about the get-go, rhyming like fucking thunderstorms, and gradually, album by album, throwing more shit into the mix. But they've always had this southern soul backbone, and the new album feels like them saying, what if we forget rhyming? What if we go as far as we want with just this sound we've been leaning on, just the soul? And let's do it now, while no one's going to look down on us for emphasizing the production and whatnot, let's do it while we can get away with it. (Jay-Z, same deal -- it's all about the producer in 2003.) And the album has mixed results, to be sure. But "Hey Ya" nails it... acid and funk and gospel thrown into one stew, high and mighty.

(alternate question: how unavoidable was it that andre would make a record that sounded like this?)
― tom west (thomp), Sunday, 14 December 2003 08:08 (twenty years ago) link
And maybe Andre's album only sounds unavoidable now that we've heard it.

Plus, this thread was so sad before it was revived. Cultural vacuum! I guess trife is just grooving at those Pow Wows* he attends regularly, eh?
*Sundance? Potlatch? Medicine Wheel? Parse the differences.
Me, I'm white, I like "Hey Ya" a lot, I have mostly white friends, not a choice thing but a cultural accident, but also friends who are Black, Native, Middle Eastern, South East Asian, Indian, Pakistani, etc. I don't choose friends on the basis of race. That would be.... um.... racist? Although, after reading the above shite, my application for Klan membership (an American organisation, btw, ) is now in the mail. Just a hunch, but I think they'll probably turn me down...
IL* is exceptionally bizarre w/r/t race and race issues. Paranoid Zealots R Us?
Relax, maybe? Pick one's battles. Racism is an evil, but so's American world hegemony.
Back to the song: it's great. "In Da Club" is also a very good song, one of the best of '03, but while it's just as self-conscious and self-regarding, it's not quite as garbled and goofy and plain exuberant. But that's an individual taste thing, not some indicator of racial preference, for fuck's sakes.
I mean, ISN'T THIS OBVIOUS!!!???

Otherwise, consider the entire thread as one huge quote.
