about

It's a certified fact that I am a child of the late 90's R&B and Hip Hop scene. Growing up, OutKast was, and still is, one of my favorite artists, having been introduced to them by friends via their ATLiens album. Everyone knows "Hey Ya" and the massive success of Speakerboxxx / The Love Below album. Diving into the rest of their catalog, you find that OutKast just did things differently. Everything from the samples they chose to flip, all the way to the spellings of title's for albums and tracks. With the scene being dominated by New York based Hip Hop groups like Wu-tang, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, the duo from Atlanta had to switch things up. SpottieOttieDopaliscious is a perfect example of this ethos. My take on this tune was to highlight the best parts, which in my opinion are the iconic horn line, Andre 3000's verse depicting the coming of age in Atlanta nightlife, and the incomparable Genesis sample. Ready for the dance floor, I hope this edit brings back memories and get's those feet tapping.

lyrics

Damn, Damn, Damn
Damn, Damn, Damn
Damn, Damn, Damn
Damn, Damn, Damn

As the plot thickens it gives me the dickens
Reminiscent of Charles a lil' discotheque
Nestled in the ghettos of Niggaville, USA
Via Atlanta, Georgia a lil' spot where
Young men and young women go to experience
They first li'l taste of the night life
Me? Well I've never been there; well perhaps once
But I, was so engulfed in the Olde E
I never made it to the door you speak of, hard core
While the DJ sweatin' out all the problems
And the troubles of the day
While this fine bow-legged girl fine as all outdoors
Lulls lukewarm lullabies in your left ear
Competing with "Set it Off, " in the right
But it all blends perfectly let the liquor tell it
"Hey hey look baby they playin' our song"
And the crowd goes wild as if
Holyfield has just won the fight
But in actuality it's only about 3 A.M
And three niggas just don' got hauled
Off in the ambulance (sliced up)
Two niggas don' start bustin' (wham wham)
And one nigga don' took his shirt off talkin' 'bout
"Now who else wanna fuck with Hollywood Courts?"
