Outkast – “ATLiens” Throwback Thursday May 10th, 2012

This is the first of many Throwback Thursday tracks to come. These are all tracks that influenced my musical tastes. I am proud to start off this weekly post with Outkast’s – “ATLiens” released August 27, 1996 on LaFace Records.  I remember listening to this track and album in my friend A.J.’s car driving to school.   It is because of Outkast that I really became a southern hip-hop fan.  I am sure many of you can relate to a song or sound shaping your youth.  For me it was this or Korn as my first post. I’m glad I went with this.  My favorite line is from Big Boi, Cause I’m cooler than a polar bear’s toenails/Oh hell, there he go again talkin that shit. I love it and wish I was cool enough to use this routinely, but I’m not.

Enjoy.
