A beautiful lil birdie suggested that I make an Outkast mix since they were reuniting for Coachella, so here goes 78 minutes of dope music from one of the greatest duos of all-time. Mixed live by yours truly. Stank you very much.
Oh, the beatiful birdie gave me some more fie mix ideas so stay tuned this week.
Tracklist after the jump.

Yes, this is new music from Outkast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I must say it’s FIE! It’s four verses, with two of them being new. The song originally was an unrelased song from Big Boi’s solo (which is a must buy) and is sorta like an upbeat 2K10 version of “I Can’t Wait” from the Barbershop 2 soundtrack. This right here has me amped for a new album because both Big Boi and Dre 3K DESTROY the beat and I’m still mad label politics kept Dre off of Big Boi’s solo. My patna said that Dre is like Bruce Leroy in The Last Dragon: He can kick everybody’s tail but he refuses to fight lol
“I hate thinkin that these the future mommas
of our chillun, they ****** a different ***** every time
they get the feelin”
This is the video remix version featuring Babyface and what Lil Wayne sampled for his song “P.W.A.” Dre RIPS this song and I could quote it for days.
“Most of the girls that we was likin’ in high school, now they dikin'” *laughs*
“Strugglin’s just a part of my day
Many obstacles have been placed in my way
I know the only reason that I make it through
Is because I never stop believing in You
Some people wonder why we here in the first place
They can’t believe cause they ain’t never seen Your face
But even when you pray, the next day you gotta try
Can’t wait for nobody to come down out the sky
You’ve got to realize that the world’s a test
You can only do your best and let Him do the rest
You’ve got your life
And got your health
So quit procrastinating and push it yourself”
This is probably my favorite Outkast song and is powerful spiritual music. I probably listen to this song everyday. Cee-Lo’s verse especially reminds you that even though you have faith, God’s not going to magically fix everything. We still have to put forth the effort first and let the Lord do the rest. Nobody said being a Christian was easy lol.
“I shoulda listened when my mama told me that ‘If you play now you’re gonna suffer later'”
I have this song as my wake-up alarm.
This has to be one of the realest songs I’ve ever heard and helped me get through the toughest time of my life. As I get older, I appreciate and understand it more and more. Crazy that I been bumpin this since 5th grade in ’95. I don’t know what music these yungins now raised on
