It’s funny every time I watch people who aren’t big hip hop fans listen to hip hop, they can never focus on the beat and the lyrics at the same time lol

It's like watching two aliens trying to figure out human behavior.

These dude caught onto big boys unique flow

Best hip hop artists of all time. Hands down, every album every song. The love below album was a signal that the magic was over imo

Slick Rick is the pioneer to the storytelling rap. Some songs to definitely check out are Children's Story, LA Di Da Di, and The show

My favorite Outkast song

Outkast ft UGK Player Anthem ♥️ 👌 🙌 ❤️ 🔥

Outkast = Big Boi (1st rapper) and Andre 3000 (second). Slick Rick was a masterful storytelling styled rapper from the 80s hence his feature on this titled song. Another Outkast song with a super catchy grooving hook with Big Boi delivering his rapid fire flow and Andre pleasantly on and off beat is "Ms. Jackson". While sounding fun and light the topic of the song has some real weight to it and a grown up look at relationships. Check it out!

This is from Outkast's 3rd album, their first was in '94. The catalog is so rich it's almost impossible to suggest just any old song or two. Yet, feeling I have to do so, I'd recommend B.O.B (Bombs Over Baghdad) as it was a decent-sized hit and musically--well I think you'd find plenty to talk about

Slick Rick is a legend. Him not having an eye shouldn’t distract how dope he is. Check out children’s story, young world and teenage love by him

Roses Hey ya Elevators All must listens

Man how do you not bob your head to this while listening to this... Lol Appreciate you guys though

shoutout to Sasha Thumper

it would be a different story if they was listening to the un edited verison

Fellas you really need to listen to "The Roots" the song is called.. "You got me" I know use two will love it and also the Roots are a real live band just to let you guys know.

slowly im seeing y'all start to get it! gotta do ms jackson next absolute classic by Outkast. I can also understand why trying to listen to the beat and lyrics at the same time can be hard but once you get used to it I guarantee a lot of songs you guys might not have liked will seem a lot better later on. one BIG thing you guys will eventually start to pick up is that lyrics and beat aren't just the main thing that make a song good but flow. the way the artist is rapping is VERY important. the reason why you guys said it's a chill song isn't just because of the beat but how all the rappers in the song have a smooth and laid back way of rhyming. Represent by Nas is a great example of this as the beat almost sounds like a nursery rhyme with the use of chimes but Nas' lyrics and flow are faster and more aggresive which changes the feel of the song completely

Y’all have got to do more Outkast- B.O.B, Liberation, Elevators.

Back eyed peas- constant Guru- dwyk Digable planets - cool like that Da youngstas- mad props Firth ward juveniles- g side groovin Amg - been around the world

gotta listen to part 2

Baseline fans? You should listen to 'Mainstream'...on the ATLiens album.

Sasha Thumper 🥹❤️

I wonder if they know Outkast has two rappers?

They don't know who Slick Rick is?

Slick Rick CHILDRENS STORY or MONA LISA

If your really into the music, listen to B.O.B. by OutKast

Behind the beat who?? (clown thumbnail for clowns)

I NEVER KNEW SLICK RICK HAD A VERSE WTF FUCC SPOTIFY Also i didnt know thats what he looked like but the first two words he said i knew.

Now you gotta do the Art of Storytelling Part 2, which (IMO) is the better song.

lol, ya'll are clowns

If you don't know Slick Rick then just give up now...wtf? I've said it before and I will say it again "there's the white American internet, then there is the rest of us on earth" SHAME!SHAME!SHAME! ..We all know Billy Joel, Journey, The Beatles, Huey Lewis, Bob Dylan, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Eddie Van Halen, Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Frank Zappa etc..etc..yet y'all have no idea who MC Ricky D. Is?...America isn't divided, some of us just suck.
