I’m glad Quest got the opportunity to interview these guys before Rico’s passing. Peace peace!

[@Coco-de2ei]

Yeah but goodie mob fell out with roots because when they went on tour roots was playing goodie mob songs on there set

[@YAH_ONLY]

@@Coco-de2ei hmm.. I wonder if they ever reconciled. Hopefully they did

I met Rico at Howard theatre after the df reunion …. He is one of the nicest people ever

[@MegaVern1]

Thanks Phonte for bringing up Witch doctor and Cool Breeze’s albums! Love how much knowledge Quest has but he takes way too long to ask a damn question! Phonte gets straight to the point!

Indeed - The Vinyl Room must be considered a classic.

One of the greatest production teams ever! Hit after hit after hit. Classics galore...

I'm still mad they took that video down from KZbin, a few years back that live performance of "Watch for the Hook" @ The Tunnel was up on here and the crowd was ridiculously turned up, shit was beautiful lol...

[@NinoDemayo]

Mr.Brown whole album lowkey classic

[@fedoramcclaren4294]

Absolutely!!!

[@bertnvilkinz]

I had "You May Die" set as my alarm clock, back when you could set your disc player to wake you up.

[@MegaVern1]

That song should’ve been like 5 minutes long. One of the greatest intros in music

[@TmaineyOnDaBeatz]

You may hurt till you cry you may die/ keep on trying

[@BgRs79]

Man. I wish this was 3 parts! I'm glad I was able to see it on KZbin.

[@MegaVern1]

Same here! They deserve over 4 hours!

[@themayne6303]

I really wish this didn’t have to end. It was very worth the wait. Interviews like this are very much rare today. When you have interviews today where so many of today’s artists only talk about beef & nonsense & talk about their music for 10 seconds, this is more than refreshing.

[@vincentrafael]

"..nuttn' but dem lacs". music legends 👏🏾💯

Great show!

[@MrBoggiejamz]

Thank you for this episode and the podcast is 🔥 I appreciate how Questlove is not only an award winning musician himself but he is a fan of Organized Noise. I am mainly a fan of R&B but when these 3 production geniuses dropped that OutKast album; I was like 😮 My top 5 Organized Noise productions are: 1. Blood: Goodie Mob. 2. Ain't No Thang: OutKast. 3. Goodie Bag: Goodie Mob. 4. The Day After: Goodie Mob. 5. Mainstream: OutKast/ Goodie Mob.

[@tenyearold1213]

My record from Even in Darkness was 6 minutes.

[@dawb86]

Was just bumping that at work the other day lol...

[@wydchuck]

Nobody ever asks Organized Noize about "Synthisizer" or "B.O.B" I need the production and session breakdown of the music

[@fedoramcclaren4294]

Earthtone III/OutKast did both songs, so I am not sure if they would do a breakdown, since they weren't the main production team for either song...

[@nickaverett9873]

I wish Phonte would have asked about Sleepy working with Pimp C and him producing like 7 tracks on sleepy’s second album Sleepy’s Theme

[@fedoramcclaren4294]

It is wild, because I think Sleepy had three albums, no? He had an album prior to Mr. Brown, but I don't think it was released?

[@CaptainKuki]

Thank you

[@3MUnique]

I’d heard the version of Growing Old that Phonte is talking about. I like that version better than the version that came out on the lp.

[@wpbdog1625]

Why do you have to close the show? I don't get it

[@3MUnique]

All Sleepy’s albums r tight. He and Phonte should work 2gether on sumn. I wonder if Sleepy knows about Foreign Exchange.

[@blacknificentone]

I’m so glad you mentioned The Foreign Exchange cause I’ve rocked with phonte and LB, and 9Th wonder since The Listening and FE is way underrated on overlooked! 💯🔥

[@TRARILLA]

Yeah I was thinking about that too...I think it would be dope

[@noble78b]

I think he was saying when they heard Liberation, they got inspired to do Heaven Somewhere with Common.

Music Family Trees.

[@t.wynderogriffin798]

Ole girl keeps asking about songs they were not even present for….smh….do your homework,please!

In conclusion, LA Reid F’d up a lot of careers. Never liked him. He ruined Laface too.
