Outkast - Mainstream (Official Audio)

[@munyamubaiwa4313]

3 Feb 2023. This album is still in my top ten best hip hop albums ever. End to end it is a spiritual experience. Salute from Zimbabwe Africa. Bought my CD copy back in 96 after saving my school lunch money. Never regretted it. I still have the CD now sealed away far from my kids who would think it a frisbee LOL!!!

[@mikemurunga6570]

[@crewdogz356af5]

I'm 45 now and I remember buying this album and putting it in my Kenwood 5 Disc CD Changer in my new car. And my favorite verse was by Khujo " I let you stay in my crib Now you know where I live When you was hungry, fed you a hot meal Look at the hand you deal" It stuck to me because I could picture it so clearly since I used to let some of my homeboys sleep on my couch and turn around and not be grateful for me helping them out. His voice and Ceelo stood out to me so much when I ever heard them rap. My cousin Duke was the first one to put me on " The dungeon Family- Outkast, Goodie Mob" and South Music altogether. I'm glad I lived through this era. I wanted to goto Atlanta so bad after seeing the "Soul Food Video" I wanted to see if it was really like that lol!!! From Cali by the way.

[@theburtchz1504]

I'm 44 ... Georgia, and lived in ATL (College Park) for about a year during this era. ATL was definitely like that video. But EVERYTHING has changed everywhere. God bless your endeavors! You have GREAT taste in music 🎵🎶

Littt I feel this

[@munyamubaiwa4313]

Dude its so wierd i came to listen to this track and was specifically thinking of the same lines you posted. Its 1 Nov 2022 and Takeoff (Migos) just got killed today. Was on insta watching T Mo Goodie speaking about how heartbroken he is with the state of the black man being killed in America and this song came to my mind. One love from Zimbabwe Africa.

[@NekroBroly]

I'm from East Point I was born in grady. It warms my soul to hear people from Cali was not only listening to this but also feeling it. Thank you.

[@mhbass]

This one for the Spirit, the Soul. Rough edged dialogue, head bobbin beat. Lyrically Prophetic. All Time CLASSIC!

[@MyaMadeIt]

Exactly!!!

Perfect. "I let you stay in my crib Now you know where I live When you was hungry, fed you a hot meal Look at the hand you deal" - Khujo

[@kendallsmith2036]

Revolutionary scary 🔥🔥🔥

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

This song right here is THE best song on the album, hands down, because T-Mo came in SPITTIN' on the first leg to set the whole DF tone. These cats were Master Teachers in their TWENTIES! This is a real tale of any ATLien in Southwest then...

[@paxsopranodynasty7555]

" Go get my gun load up for fun, and put it down with a frown " . I swear I'm from Indiana, and when this came out this song made me and my homeboys feel like we were there ....

[@333musicllc7]

First off the track is insane and almost the chord progressions almost break your heart. Every rapper on the track is A1! They going consciously hard AF! The is a legendary gem!

[@MyaMadeIt]

That’s it…the chord progressions!! Could not put my finger on it!! Yes!

Absolutely!!!

I bought a 2006 dodge charger recently from this lady. And she had this entire albumn on a CD. That girl dont even know but she done put me on outkast

[@pastense]

The coolest thing about this track is that 3-bar loop, which is extremely rare in hip hop. You can tell most of the Goodie Mob struggle with their cadences. But Big Boi and Dre ride it sooo well on here!

[Intro] (Water splash) Uh, y'all know what it is Uh, y'all know what it is Uh, y'all know what it is [Verse 1: T-Mo Goodie] Revolutionary, scary Thought provoking, spoken Words of a change I don't feel but I see Visions from me at 23 Making it free in my community One day is what I live for Ain't thinking about no hope no more I got my boots I kick it 'til I get with Adapt and overcome, oh hum hum Go get my gun, load up for fun, and put down with the frown What goes round comes round from M.L.K. to Cascade I know it's through them plenty figures Cocaine dealers walk the wrong side Up in they rides Looking cleaner then I seen them the last time Then selling dimes, now its quarter ki's, stacking G's In the South Indies My nigga them folks riding bicycles among vehicles Off in the hood Knowing each and every nigga selling, but can you blame The fact the only way a brother can survive the game The block hard to get by the dope dealing Fatal killings, and fed time, to writing rhymes It ain't just the police We kill each other just lost another brother Fast living will get you took Thinking it can't happen to you and then it do Off crooked schemes it's just a dream Floating face down in the mainstream [Hook: Khujo Goodie] Think it is when it ain't all peaches and cream That's why some are found floating face down in the mainstream [Verse 2: André 3000] They swan diving As if they name be Gretchen von Ivan Volkoff rushin' to finish their album then you find them Lost dog paddling, backstroking, what done happened? Be rhyming "catch of the day" when the recipe calls for "blackened" Wrong ingredients Maybe too much herbs and spices Maybe you got hungry for the wrong dish Of them greens and it's enticing how them Jones's sing So I'm gonna sing just like them to get where they at I'll even break my by back to touch their rim, if I gotta My alta mater be that I follow I bite whatever that's looking tasty, water it down and then swallow I hope you vomit, won't call no names cause that's not my job It just applies to whom it may concern, you know who you are But if you don't you never will, you just receive the steel But then it might get ugly 'cause trust me niggas do feel The way that I felt when I wrote this, but we must stay in focus We kings and queens up in this thing, get rid of all them jokers Face down, face down, face down [Hook: Khujo Goodie] Think it is when it ain't all peaches and cream That's why some are found floating face down in the mainstream [Verse 3: Khujo Goodie] I let you stay in my crib Now you know where I live When you was hungry, fed you a hot meal Look at the hand you deal Me crudball business, niggas giving inches, so here, take a foot Luck only counts in rabbit's feet and horseshoes Experience is sometimes the best teacher until we get our own plate I hope you don't mind me eating off of yours Process sm-m-moking like Jerry Meanwhile, fairies up the street sprinkling pixie dust over greenery Never to attain another level of conscience Only to test, the potency Why laying here, they scheme over one another mouth to feed Deceased with a decision to make, now words shake your destiny But one miss will take it all the way, just as quick as you can say "I wish I never did what I did," now face this bid It was the company you kept, the many places you slept When you shouldn't have, geeking like a rat, jumping like a trap Contributing to sin and your nigga bitch in the club showing pink for 10 They got you niggas where they want you again Floating face down in the mainstream That's why, that's why, that's why [Hook: Khujo Goodie] Think it is when it ain't all peaches and cream That's why some are found floating face down in the mainstream [Verse 4: Big Boi] Everybody's a player, wearing them Kangols on their head Thinking it's all about your clothes, nigga, it's all about your self The way you feel about your life, the times that you done shared with Your friends and family, up and down like hoes give head To dicks, oh, six, serving them in the mix, but ain't no mystery You know the history about this clique, bitch Oh, what, you want me to call you slut? Then why you fucking all them niggas letting them all up in your guts But see that AIDS I'm afraid that's why I play the quiet role I lay in the cut, every month thinking I'll let that fire roll Like chimneys, and smoke signals, maybe peace pipes even My partners call me Big Boi and my first name is not Steven In the mainstream, home team banging them with these hits In the mix, flowing like some motherfucking swordfish [Hook: Khujo Goodie] Think it is when it ain't all peaches and cream That's why some are found floating face down in the mainstream Think it is when it ain't all peaches and cream That's why some are found floating face down in the mainstream Think it is when it ain't all peaches and cream That's why some are found floating face down in the mainstream Think it is when it ain't all peaches and cream That's why some are found floating face down in the mainstream
