i hate that My neck My back song too! and whenever that Milkshake song comes on, I just change the station. I've only heard first few lyrics to it and BLEH
In the good old bad part of this college town Men in business suits they run you down You take their money just like you take mine You send it bubbling down the thin blue line It doesn't matter how it got this way 'Cause we could make it through this thing together I know you're laughing but I got to say Now I still want you maybe more than ever No fooling it's a f!cked up world So be cool my little junkie girl The cops are out to shut the district down I comb the ruins of your stomping grounds Stanyan Street looking like that third world war You come up blazing like an open sore Now I believe you but I got to know How come the right side of your brain is hurting So take me with you baby when you go Through to the white side of your China curtain No fooling it's a f@cked up world So be cool my little junkie girl In the good old bad part of this college town Men in grey limousines will drive you down You take their money just like you take mine Where does it get you on that thin blue line Now I can hardly hear you anymore Your eyes are empty and your voice is hollow I see you waving from a distant shore And where you're going I don't dare to follow No fooling that's another world Good luck my little junkie girl
It's not the old Outkast, but it's definitely Outkast. You could definitely predict a transition coming pretty strong with Stankonia. Hey Ya is definitely...different (in a bad way)...but most of the rest of the tracks are pretty strong. You gotta innovate at some point. When did SouthernCaddillac... come out? 93? It's been over a decade years. They can't be the same as they were when they were kids, but they are still one of the best in hip-hop right now.
I'll agree the OTHER songs on there are good, but Hey Ya was destined for Top 40 & TRL. They knew it when they put it out. It wasn't bad the first 6 times I heard it, but by the end of the day I couldn't stand it anymore. It's still a 'fun' song I guess. Oh crap, I just remember that I gotta go make a Turk CD for a bro or else my legs are broke. But I wouldn't have listened to Turk, T.I. (Trap Muzik), Do or Die, G-Unit, or even Chingy (who is soooo overrated; now HIS music can get really annoying) if it wasn't for this year. Personally, I think the music is getting too similar. Scarily enough, I would have never guessed Justin Timberlake was ever able to pull off something other than gay boy band music (I'm not saying he's good, but still). And just for the record, RIGHT THURR. (Sorry)
Do or Die has been out forever. And they still suck. And the precise reason Outkast does NOT suck (as you said) is because "the other music is getting too similar". So they made a Top40 song. It's not the first time. They put a Billboard song out there, sell some extra records, make some extra money. You're listening to Chingy and complaining about Hey Ya? Come on, man. But I'll shut up now, as all this belongs in the Outkast thread from a while ago and not in this one.
I don't listen to it; I said I had been listening to it. The only reason people know about Outkast is because of Whole World, Miss Jackson (which I consider one of the best songs ever written while others disagree with me), and now Hey Ya. It's unfortunate too because they are good, but I just don't like hearing Hey Ya that much anymore. I don't listen to radio at all anymore because a.) the radio stations around here (not Texas) suck, b.) the music is too similar, and c.) I can't remember the last time I heard a good solid 5 minutes of music. I just wish Outkast wouldn't have done Hey Ya because they're grabbing the white people market. It's not a problem for anyone; I mean whatever way they can maximize profits works. It's just that I feel it's the Eminem concept. 8 Mile was a solid rap album while his previous release, The Eminem Show, was nearly the opposite. It had various music on it. The most played was Without Me. That was definitely not rap. Anyway, I forgot my point and I'll go back to the main point of this thread by remembering the time I got a T-shirt one night for Hanukkah. That sucked.
Since we're talking about bad lyrics, you can't leave out some of the Beatles' early stuff... OH, I NEED YOUR LOVE BABE GUESS YOU KNOW IT´S TRUE HOPE YOU NEED MY LOVE BABE JUST LIKE I NEED YOU HOLD ME, LOVE ME HOLD ME, LOVE ME I AIN´T GOT NOTHIN´BUT LOVE BABE EIGHT DAYS A WEEK Eleanor Rigby that ain't...
When you're churning out an album every 2 months, sometimes it won't include some of your best stuff. To me, the Beatles wrote some of the best timeless classics and some of the worst stuff ever to hit the airwaves.
Damn, thanks. Now I've got that song in my head. I'm me Me be ******* I am I can Sing and Here me Know me If you want to destroy my sweater Hold this thread as I walk away Watch me unravel I'll soon be naked Lying on the floor, I've come undone Oh no It go It gone Bye-Bye Who I I think I sink and I die I don't want to destroy your tank-top Let's be friends and just walk away Hate you see you lyin' there in your Superman skivvies Lying on the floor, I've come undone Whew, I feel better now...
I think I've learned a valuable lesson here. Pop lyrics have never been great works of poetry, have they? (I do like that sweater song though, always have).
