Like I mentioned in the last video, I'll be taking a break for the foreseeable future. Thank you all again for watching, I'm gonna go backflip thru bricks to "B.O.B."

[@JakeGottfriedStudios]

Yep it only took like 3 years since this video but Andre 3000 made his 87 minute flute album. He should be happy

[@abdelrhmandameen2215]

I came here to say this.

[@justicesellers241]

Man that album came out so quietly (just like André wanted).

[@stfn4472]

​@justicesellers241 "Quietly" for a legendary rapper because he did like 3 interviews and I didn't stop hearing people talk about it for like a week, lol

[@ballertheking1038]

You should try a deep dive of a tribe called quest. Legendary group.

Aphex Twin would be pretty great! I'm sure you're aware, but just in case you aren't I would highly suggest checking out Deep Cut's dive into Aphex Twin's discography!

[@seancascone]

Fredi Garcia i’ve seen it! oliver always does a wonderful job with his deep cuts artist guides and that was no exception. i’d love to see mic dive more into the history and add his own humor and insight into aphex’s music though

[@abbie_joan]

it's kinda wild that a group that had so much influence didn't actually have a very big discography...but it also kinda shows that even with less content someone can still have a monumental impact on music by doing things a little differently.

[@cosmicghost811]

Quality over quantity. They are timeless.

[@anoneemous406]

6 albums is a solid amount.

[@jordyn-laurette_is_spicy]

It's also worth mentioning that André released a 2 track Jazz EP on Mother's Day, going into heartbreaking detail about the passing of his parents on one track, and Jamming out with James Blake on the other

[@TheZenDen44]

What’s it called brotherette ☺️

[@issagaming3236]

It’s called “Look ma no hands” ep

[@flyingcosmograma]

OutKast is my favorite rap group, artist, period. I’m so excited for this ☺️ Edit; Big Boi gets overlooked ALL THE TIME, the dude is just as good of a spitter as André

[@dingo4712]

[@loborodc1]

Nice pfp mate

[@TeeWasHere]

I couldn’t agree more!! There’s a decent amount of OutKast songs where he out rapped 3K in my opinion

[@StannyObelisk]

[@fAEtusDeletus]

It still amazes me how Outkast's discography hasn't aged one bit. I believe they still have one last album left in them, but I can understand them not making new music together. We are living, however, in the time of Outkastian music, their influence is everywhere, experimental rap, rnb, hip-hop music is currently the forefront of sonic development.

[@ideitbawxproductions1880]

Andre said in interviews that hip-hop needed to evolve to survive, and it did. I think he was about 10 years early for that evolution, but hey... Also, just for full disclosure, I'm not much of a hip-hop fan, I'm more of a rock/metal/experimental guy, but I've always had huge respect for Outkast. They made their own music, their own way

[@thrownstair]

Maybe one day, a good few years from now, they'll decide to go back into the studio one last time to give their discography a satisfying ending, like Tribe's final album.

[@hermensagoon]

Andre & Big Boi are hip hop legends

[@michaelrantanen4312]

BIGGEST understatement EVER. ! . !!

[@sickfitz4256]

Big Boi isn’t given enough recognition. He did lots for the group, and really is a legend.

[@FormalFilmsProductions]

Top tier content

[@FormalFilmsProductions]

Also I would love Queens Of The Stone Age

[@senseiparks]

you skipped Andre’s EP from a few years back, Look Ma No Hands. mostly clarinet and piano improv with James Blake, but that Me&My track is pretty awesome. great video, though!

[@devzeppilin]

It’s such a beautiful EP and surprisingly overlooked by the masses.

[@roua9882]

you mentioned “class of 3000” and that triggered the most repressed memory I had stored in my brain thank you

[@litjackson]

I'd love to see you tackle the mammoth that is the They Might Be Giants discography.

[@daishoryujin95]

​@@Slims222 the mountain goats would be such a task

[@dord]

"Jewel Runner"... yea do RTJ, or, like someone said in the previous DDD "to prove your true ability" or something like that, David Bowie EDIT: ok so he mentioned two things, 1. RTJ again, and 2. DoYaThing, which leads me to say this; since he did a DDD on Gorillaz and OutKast, 2 of the 3 creators of DoYaThing (technically) with the remaining artist left being James Murphy, do a DDD on LCD Soundsystem

[@CarrieFisherman]

*James Murphy

[@dord]

@@CarrieFisherman my bad, although a James Blake DDD would be good too

[@devzeppilin]

Maaan “The Love Below” has GEMS towards the end. “Behold a Lady”, ESPECIALLY “Pink & Blue”, “Love in War”, “Dracula’s Wedding”, “Take Off Your Cool”, “Vibrate” are some of the most beautiful songs ever. Although I agree about “My Favorite Things”, "A Life in the Day of Benjamin André” is fire despite being unfinished.

[@Maws92]

The fact that he said every songs sucks after track ten almost made cut the video off smh

[@cyb3rism636]

A life in the day of andre is the best track on the second half of the love below. From behold a lady to vibrate it feels like hard baked ideas. Cool songs but they don't hit as hard

[@matijailic9986]

Agreed. The only one I skip from time to time is "Behold a Lady", but the rest is fire, just like the whole album. Never understood why people didn't appreciate the second half.

[@blondedivy]

yes!! pink & blue is absolutely one of my favorite songs (instrumentals to be exact) of all time

[@dapoadeola1143]

i came here looking for this comment. Like, what was he listening to???

[@MR2car]

The song "Hey Ya" was originally titled "Thank God for Mom and Dad", from the line "Thank God for Mom and Dad for sticking together, cause we don't know how". It's a legitimately sad song dressed up as a happy song. The song is supposed to be about couples in the 50s sticking together because of tradition despite their love being dead. It ends up being way ahead of it's time, as social commentary on the state of modern relationships and how marriage and commitment are rare these days, as well as a 50% diovorce rate. Hey Ya is a masterpiece but for all the reasons people don't know. Learning all of this really changed my perspective, and now I feel melancholy and sadness when I hear it. "Y'all don't hear me you just wanna dance" as people happily dance to the beat. Also worth noting : This song singlehandedly started the revival of Polaroid Picture cameras. Polaroid was completely dead and this sond brought it back and now women use these a lot, as a retro way of taking pictures.

[@blakebrown84]

Outkast is a once in a lifetime type of group who gave us the best music of our lifetime for generations to come. Besides, I almost forgot about Andre 3000 solo EP songs about his passing of his parents. At least, The Love Below is his own solo album as OutKast. They builded a brotherhood that will last a lifetime. We never heard them argue or fight against each other. They have disagreements just like everybody else. Big Boi released 3 solo albums by far, and Andre 3000 still acting and doing well so far. We won’t ever see them back together as a duo ever again, but we definitely won’t see Andre release a solo album anytime soon. I experienced my first OutKast concert in my college year and I loved every bit of it when they had Ludacris there also. Thanks

The K.K Slider version of Hey Ya, beautiful. So much emotional depth, K.K.'s lyricism is amazing.His voice is just stunning, the amount of energy and emotion put into it is superb. Everytime I listen to it I get chills.Truly a gem in the modern pop scene.

I know this review is years old but when you mention that the love below falls off at the end I think that the final song ‘A life in the day of Andre Benjamin’ subverts that.

Big Boi worked with the Atlanta Ballet to put on a show with him performing and the ballet company dancing. It was the most interesting mash up of two seemingly disparate art styles I've seen. It was fantastic in every way and a beautiful display of local art performed in the historic Fox Theater by and for the people of his home town. I love checking out anything these guys do. It might not always be my taste but it's always interesting and that's why I've enthusiastically followed their careers.
