Organized Noize on Discovering Outkast, Early Rap Style Similar to Souls of Mischief

[@CustomFitted]

Organized Noize don't get enough love bruh, their work with Outkast is legendary. Southernplayalistic probably my favorite work from them

[@jibsmokestack1]

Creative - I like Goodie Mob 'Soul Food' as much as Outkast's first disc or more.

[@CustomFitted]

I fuck wit Soul Food too, definitely up there as their best work

[@gelila.so.prophetic]

Creative Mines as well, also ATLiens and B.O.B.

[@gelila.so.prophetic]

Creative oh and Player's Ball!

[@gelila.so.prophetic]

Creative...sorry and lastly, Benz & Beamers......lololol

[@rhythmcity2006]

A lot of people don't know about that Society Of Soul and Sleepys Theme...those are gems way ahead of their time!!

[@horacesmith7129]

That was dope I was the only one out of my friends that liked it

[@rhythmcity2006]

Really?!? Wow ! I mean if you think about it..ONP never made the same beats, that's why I like Society of soul, it was jazz mixed with spoken word mixed with funk !

[@GalanDestroyer]

Most def. I was so happy when I hunted down a copy of Sleepy's Theme (and that's because it was rare back then). I still remember seeing the video for "Pushin'" by Society of Soul as a lil' kid and loving it. And always looked forward to Big Rube's poetry on all of the Dungeon Family members' projects. Organized Noize are respected but not as much as they should be, in my opinion.

[@wassimyounes2994]

I'm doing an essay about organized noize and this interview is pure gold! These guys are legends!

[@Dave-ug4cd]

watch The Art of Organized Noize doc

[@Bepeze]

I'm floored. Vlad actually asked real questions. I'm only 1 minute in so I don't wanna speak too soon but looks like he's gonna not control the convo. We'll 👀.

[@irandleIV]

If you really want to hear organized noize, you have to listen to the Backbone, Cool Breeze, Goodie Mob and Witchdoctor albums. Some of their hardest beats, and some of the best in hip hop ever, are on those albums. Much luv to these guys.

[@beammeupscottie7042]

TheIVth Sleepy's Theme: Vinyl Room is also a classic. If you haven't heard of it, check it out. Very underrated album.

[@startingQB]

Let's not forget TLC

[@Realliedoe]

Them albums are sooooo slept on! Real people that fuck with the Dungeon Family, didn’t just get OutKast albums…you got all them shits! Since 92 bro, it’s been DF! Love from Jersey!

[@hiphoploverjon9180]

Shout out to Souls of Mischief and The Pharcyde as well. Big ups Organized!

[@mfknrmxthebangmessiah6012]

Love these dudes. Been fuckin with them since Parental Advisory. To all of the youngins, this is what geniuses look like. Respect the catalog.

[@ztiwar]

I love the last statements where he states most are influenced but continue to evolve & grow,so true

[@Paris__Michael]

Coming from somebody that was East coast born and raised, I'm loving/digging every bit of this Hip-Hop history!!

[@ronnyjoseph7015]

my first hip hop album that i bought was ATLiens...... classic....the intro of "Mainstream" give me chills. shout outs from germany

[@biggybwana6304]

I feel sorry for these ignorant kids that think this era of music is better than the past. The 90s was the peak of hip hop.

[@juniorxeastny8169]

absolutely. To me, Outkast, The Roots, Mos Def & Talib Kweli and Common and the few other artists associated with them, were the last dying breaths of real authentic hip hop. By 2004 I swear I walked away from hip hop and started listening to world music (african, middle eastern, euro techno).

[@zislec]

Biggy Bwana word! ✊🏾

[@biggybwana6304]

JuniorXEastNY Funny thing is I was born in 95, started listening to hip hop in 04. Nas illmatic was the first album I listened to and I've been hooked ever since.

[@theDavidChannel1]

This was my era...I graduated high school in 93. IMO the best stuff came out from 87-96. By 1997 the shit was on life support.

[@biggybwana6304]

David Duarte 96 was the best year for hip hop. So many dope projects came out that year.

[@jeanemlicar27]

I never thought Outkast sounded like Souls of Mischief and I listened to both groups religiously.

[@sHimmyHoffa]

Shout out to the Goodie Mob

[@BILMER420]

Rico wade is a genius

[@mgthaking]

WITCHDOCTOR (A S.W.A.T) (Healin Ritual) thank me later if you never heard this album before

[@cheddykruger7721]

mgthaking Incredible! "Dez Only 1" "Hurting"

mgthaking another mother fucking holiday........HOLIDAYYYYYY! 🎶

[@drdread9896]

[@woabeatz9717]

Every day is a holiday...

[@foekist7312]

Been following these fellas from the get-go too. Proud to see how far they have come. I hope that each of these guys are multi-millionaires.

[@koopstamc]

"Tracks are being made by Organo-I-Z-E While we cooling in the shade" - Cee-lo (Goodie Mob)

[@zislec]

Still pumping soul food.😌

[@esseen100]

Listen to the genius Rico is spitin'. These guys are so great. I remember how kool they were at their peak, and when they were getting started we all went to see an open Mic freestyle session with Phife(RIP), Dinco D, and Zion from Zion I. I was selling my brother Sol Messiah' s mixtapes and Rico bought 2 because we had 2 Outkast songs on it. ✊

[@chuckpowers5311]

Dont care what anybody state.We need some Organize Noize instrumental albums.....this crew dont need to chase anything new. This Crew can stay with what they did in the 90s and still be here! I'll take instrumental of Atliens anyday...anyday! And today producer are cold...but cold because of this!

[@charlesmcelwee2360]

About time we get back to conversations about the music MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mooseemania7804]

the sound of the south.. they are the pioneers of southern beat making for hiphop

[@WallTrapMedia]

FYI, Future is a member of the Dungeon Family and Rico Wade's cousin. Rico is the reason Future got on. So the Dungeon Fam legacy continues. #ATL #4thWard #Zone5 #Zone6

[@Bepeze]

2 chainz as well.

[@Bepeze]

@Acies Group yep. Look it up

[@Bepeze]

@Acies Group why you gotta call me a clown fool. That's Suttle bro. So I watched a doc that Sleepy and Rico did. Chainz did an interview and said he got his start with them.

[@Bepeze]

@Acies Group God Bless you bro. I was mistaken. It was disturbing tha peace. Glad you were able to be right. Your a great keyboard thug. No profile picture or content. Yeah. Internet Warriors. Lol. Peace out sir.

[@wutnigga4217]

Throughout the years hiphops finest stay name dropping Souls Of Mischief js

[@bl7man1]

Love you Vlad. People say you are a culture vulture. They just don't know the epic interviews that you do for this culture. U aren't always on the mark b.u.t. you are on point w/ this one. Keep doing your thing Vlad.

[@sperrotta91]

Vlad irritates me at the best of the times but he's a damn solid interviewer. Culture vulture is harsh, especially considering some of the folks (e.g. David Banner and Lord Jamar) who fuck with him.

[@gambitwilson8623]

We were listening to Souls Of Mischief down here in Da Souf since the beginning!!!

[@Sneakerveli]

Before Miami, everybody was going to Atlanta cause of the music scene! Too Short, Da Brat, Redman.. BTW Outkast first album is a certified classic!!!!!

[@zislec]

Lucky A no doubt about that 👌😌

[@YOUNGDISCIPLEJAY]

Lucky A atl sound was the mia bass sound back in the day

[@bigdap100]

+djvlad dude I've been saying this for over 20 years, Outkast had some vibe from Souls of Mischief, even look at Andre 3000's movements in the video Player's Ball, exactly and mirror the dude from Souls of Mischief...but they were 16 when they jumped off the porch and 17 when they blew up so it was all good, plus they morphed into the most musically and culturally impactful hip hop act of all times...Facts! And A3k is the GOAT for anybody that wants to go toe to toe on that.

[@christianraines3032]

Not even close. Andre was being himself. I dont c any similarities in his movement at all. Which video r u describing because the ones ive seen aren't even close.

[@lazaroclarkeii8994]

Christian Raines-3 Stacks would tell you himself that he was Mos Def influenced by Souls of Mischief!!! In an interview not long ago with Eminem, where Em was supposed to respond to a diss on social media, he instead gets on a chat with Andre 3000 and what did they talk about? How dope the verses were on Souls of Mischief's song "Never No More" from 93 till Infinity!!! And Hieroglyphics member Tajai said in a follow up that both Em and Andre 3000 have always respected what Souls of Mischief and the Heiro crew do!!!! That confirms that Andre 3000 was definitely influenced by Souls of Mischief, if nothing else from a lyrical perspective!!!! I'll post the link to that article on here or you can Google it"Eminem and Andre 3000 discuss Souls of Mischief song "Never No More"

[@bigdap100]

Lazaro Clarke II it’s cool because for us we’re not criticizing we’re actually admiring how all that we loved about hip hop came to be, the style and flavors were born out of other styles and flavors and when we see it and identify it we embrace it b/c it’s fascinating.

[@The-Man-Right-Chea]

These guys are still eating off their krazy publishing catalog, and will be forever. They have produced so many songs and never sampled, so they getting 100% of their royalties

[@terrencecopeland2721]

#DF #DOPE #MYGUYS, organized noize! I will forever appreciate what they created in Atlanta!

[@RobFrank22]

The founders of Atlanta hip hop right here. All hail

[@cliftoncameron5632]

Love these guys. Real art, real talent, real energy, and no fear. Forever inspiring. Timeless

[@Ironman79]

My hometown heroes! Southwest Atlanta in this muhfugga🔥🔥🔥

[@hollyscripto2405]

That's why I fell in love with these guys... authentic instrument sounds w/ 808's and that Southern flare. I was sold! The best thing is they kept it consistent, fun, edgy, creative, and gangster. Beasty. Oh AND they were from the South. Back then the South wasn't on the map.

[@cbrown940]

Pure, genuine artistry discussion - wow.

[@MISCDesigns]

Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics must have been popular in Atlanta, because I recall Usher saying in an interview that he was a fan of the them as well.

[@oleddiekanejr662]

organized noize is Tha most underrated squad in Muzik. and sleepy brown living up too his name LMAO

[@stayready4017]

The Source gave Outkast first album 4.5 mics, Goodie Mob 4 mics and Dr. Dre...The Chronic 4.5 mics. After those wack ratings I slowed up buying that magazine, because I realized they couldn't get past their northern biases. I've seen less albums get 5 mics, but the artists were from New York. XXL came and I started supporting it.

[@jbarrier3506]

Souls of mischief/outkast collab would be legendary

[@ant.-k7006]

I remember I 1st heard Playas Ball on a College Radio Station. it was a Christmas song

[@mkurosawa5720]

Real Legends Right here, thanks Vlad!

[@KtotheG]

Organized Noize was just as important as Da Bomb Squad was in altering the musical landscape of hip hop.

[@wutnigga4217]

FACTS

[@bOmBAsTiK]

I remember thinking the same thing back in '94...'Kast was listening to SOULS and RBL Posse, two Bay-area stalwarts. Didn't hear too much Pharcyde though. And the music was most def influenced by "The Chronic." Rico just confirmed it...#goodshit

[@phillytnoize]

Organized Noize are so crafty with their sampling that they got away with claiming to not use any for years

[@chrissantana1836]

nice to see Vlad finally interviewing talent...........

[@RobertoTheOriginalManFromTheA]

Atlanta had a underground rap scene with hard boys,Ghetto mafia,and Sammy Sam until O.N. and outkast came along.

[@Metamophisis]

TheRossini72 Yeah and Mc Shy D

[@sperrotta91]

Truth. Can't forget C.O.D., Creep Dog, Duice, Kilo Ali, MC Rod and Success-n-Effect. Wish people would big up the Golden Age era South more often...

[@SoulOfTheSouth]

dewitty johnson He has rapped on southern beats from Lil Jon, Jermaine Dupri, Rap-A-Lot and No Limit producers years ago.

[@jamessmith-xl8ls]

tochiRTA their style of producing would work because I wouldn't consider their southern more universal
