"SpottieOttieDopaliscious" is a song by OutKast, a pioneering hip-hop duo from Atlanta, Georgia, consisting of André 3000 (André Benjamin) and Big Boi (Antwan Patton). The track is from their critically acclaimed album "Aquemini," released in 1998.
The song stands out for its jazzy instrumentation, featuring live horns and a laid-back groove. It's known for its unique storytelling style, where André 3000 and Big Boi vividly describe a night out in Atlanta. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the city's nightlife, capturing various characters and scenes with colorful detail.
The title "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" is a playful and nonsensical term coined by the group, adding to the song's eccentric charm. The track's structure is unconventional, with multiple instrumental breaks and a loose, improvisational feel.
"SpottieOttieDopaliscious" showcases OutKast's innovative approach to hip-hop, blending elements of jazz, funk, and Southern rap to create a sound that was both unique and influential. The song has become a fan favorite and is often regarded as one of the standout tracks in OutKast's discography.

I'm white I live deep in the Smoky Mountains, and I love Outcast. We used to bump it back in the day.

Old white way down here in Louisiana and I bump them on the boat

I am not black but Outkast has spoken to me since the 90s

[@bossfan49]

Cool track. I'm definitely going to give this a few more listens.

[@phnigra111]

So smooth and ethereal.. and Andre can rock that flute

OutKast was the shiznit

How can these guys not know Outkast?!

[@hw3919]

Wtf are you talking about? They literally talked about how this song takes them back to college.

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

Outkast is responsible for the most insidious ear worm in my life, Roses. One of my favorites by them is B.O.B.

[@user-jl6iq4hc9o]

Amazing! So cool to see your investment in it too! Going to kick back and do it justice with earphones. ❤

[@friendcentive6665]

Very Curtis Mayfield.

[@thisisitreactions]

It does have that feel! RIP Mr. Mayfield!

[@sthubbins4038]

LOVE Curtis Mayfield. ❤

[@BadgerBJJ]

Or Isaac Hayes

[@johncondon4081]

7:32 John Paul Jones would rock this beat on bass

[@sthubbins4038]

I love the subtle wah-wah soul guitar… and those trombones… and the storytelling… EDIT: You guys might enjoy some Fishbone “Lemon Meringue”…

[@thisisitreactions]

Fishbone!!! Definitely know the group name, but not the music. We definitely diving in!

[@sthubbins4038]

@@thisisitreactions Oh yeah… just a glorious mix of soul, 70’s funk, reggae/ska, and at times even hard rock/metal, all mixed with such invention and creativity. I really think Outkast is a bit of a spiritual successor to Fishbone. 😄❤️ Songs I’d suggest: Lemon Meringue Unyielding Conditioning Sunless Saturday Everyday Sunshine

[@bossfan49]

I only know "Everyday Sunshine", and I probably only know it because I saw them on SNL back in '91. 😀✌

[@philipmccarthy6175]

There's a reggae feel to this too. Always found it strange that aside from Marley that America never really seemed to get reggae.

[@bossfan49]

You're right...Reggae has always been like a niche or even a 'cult' genre in America. I feel like there's many layers to that... like- were there any other reggae or Jamaican artists who could compare to Bob Marley as far as songwriting, outspokenness on social, cultural, political, religious topics, stage presence? He was basically a rock star. Were there any other reggae artists on major labels that would promote them in America? It seemed Jamaica always had connections with UK politically, and west and south Africans culturally that would enable easier promotion of reggae music for the record labels. Also, there was so much incredible music being created by American black artists at the time, maybe it felt like there wasn't room for foreign black artists of a different genre of music. Idk.., there's probably a lot more to it...these are just a few things I've wondered about.

[@philipmccarthy6175]

@bossfan49 The UK - Jamaica connection is the main thing for me. There were a lot of reggae artists who enjoyed commercial success in the UK and reggae was popular among white Brits too. Barley was the biggest star but some serious reggaeheads would say his stuff was too commercial. Some preferred the more rootsy stuff & dub reggae was popular too. There are many facets to it.

[@bossfan49]

@@philipmccarthy6175 I remember watching a brief documentary on that a while back. It was called Under The Influence: 2 Tone Ska. It featured The Specials and other artists... UB40 of course..

[@philipmccarthy6175]

​@bossfan49 I was in the record industry during the 2-tone , ska boom of the late 70's & early 80's. There was a lot of social unrest at the time and bands like the Specials & The Beat struck a chord with their music , which was part good time , part social commentary .

[@bossfan49]

@@philipmccarthy6175 Sure. None of that really caught on in the US except Elvis Costello's "Watching The Detectives" and maybe a couple 80s songs that were popular in the dance clubs. Although, whoever was listening to The Clash sure got a taste of ska. It may have transferred as an influence for the Third Wave in bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, No Doubt, Fishbone, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones... but that little ska surge only lasted a few years ...except of course for the Chili Peppers in whose sound it was deeply ingrained.

[@RonWebb333]

I've been a fan of Led Zeppelin since the old days. I've never heard this song, probably never heard any Outkast, but I liked this. I do feel a vibe, and maybe some influence from LZ.

[@thisisitreactions]

Don't be afraid of going down the Outkast rabbit hole! They are icons in music! Sorry Ms Jackson, Boms over Bagdad, I like the way you move, Hey Ya (we have this one on the channel).

[@bossfan49]

@@thisisitreactions I'm not getting any Led Zeppelin from this. What am I missing? Is it not anything musically, but just the fact that it transports you?

[@thisisitreactions]

Just the way it transports you! We listen to how a lot zeppelin fans go on a journey when they listen. We understand that feeling. We feel the same vibes when listening to to this gem.

[@debimiller4913]

Never heard it before thank you for sharing! I learned about Outkast from the Tomb Raider movie 😅

[@thisisitreactions]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@debimiller4913]

@@thisisitreactions I did enjoy it very much

[@BeeKnown]

[@thisisitreactions]

[@zosometalgod]

Not even close to Led Zeppelin! This sounds more like very early Pink Floyd psychedelic music
