Rolling Indo outkast didn't have many fast songs but he's referring to Bombs over badhgad when they were rhyming fast as hell and a few big Boi tracks. The had a few fast songs off albums but nothing on that level of bombs over Baghdad. By 2003 they had just dropped the double album and big Boi had a couple fast tracks on that album as well like ghetto Musick which came out right before Jay recorded this song. Outkast music varied with every type song possible. They're probably the most diverse group in hip hop history. They even joked about it on aquemini. There was a skit said a guy said they were confused first they some pimps, then aliens or genies and now on the black righteous space crap. Miami music was fast in the 90s. That Luke shit and Trick Daddy had a few. Maybe for NY dudes outkast was rapping fast

You can literally see When that dirt off your shoulders beat hit his soul and he knew he had to have it lol

[@rickybobby612]

Glad Luda took one of the beats and made a song called the potion. One of the best tracks

[@froey198033]

When Jay goes to see Timbaland you know Jay is looking for a hit. When Jay heard that dirt off your shoulders beat he stood up immediately. Jay knew that was the one.

I just love how Tim laughs and tells him take a pick. He knows who he is. Lol!

This makes me wanna get back in the booth. The joy of making music and everyone nodding their heads to the bars after they hear you rap it and you being an artist jumping in the booth expressing your pain on the mic and coming out the sh** asking how I sound and everyone saying nah you bodied that and you finally going to the block to let everyone hear it is something amazing.
