OutKast | ATLiens - 01 - You May Die (Intro)

Veröffentlichung: 25. November 1996
Label: LaFace Records /Sony BMG
Produktion: OutKast/Organized Noize

Über das Album:
Für ATLiens produzierten Big Boi und André 3000 (damals noch Dre) erstmals selbst, unter anderem ihre erste Top 20-Single Elevators (Me & You) (Platz 12 in den Billboard Hot 100). Weitere Singles waren der Titelsong (Platz 35) und Jazzy Belle als den Sänger und Produzenten Babyface featurenden Remix (Platz 52).

Der Titel des Albums ist ein Kofferwort aus „Atlanta" (kurz „ATL"), der Heimatstadt von OutKast, und „Aliens", um die außerirdische Symbolik des Albums zu verdeutlichen. Wahrscheinlich verweist es auch auf die Außenseiterrolle, die Rapper aus Atlanta, bzw. den Südstaaten damals noch innehatten.

"Nothing that is new comes from the Sun, everything that is new comes from our Lord. Life is a continuation, our Lord is who gives us life, amen." - Portuguese translation

Intro to one of the best rap albums of all time which is in my personal top 5. Outkast best duo to ever do it

[xanfus]

I've always wished that this was a whole song

[nozulu_photography]

I've been waking up to this as my alarm tone for the past 2years now. And I must say it gives much needed inspiration and a sense of peace and being grounded in this fast-paced world. KEEP ON TRYING!!!!

[bloodcontagion]

One of the best albums ever!! I get goosebumps every time!

Wish they made a whole song out if this. Very relaxing 👍👍👍

[h.fletcher]

I'll never forget the experience I had with this album and this intro with a female in particular. Wonder what happened to her! Nostalgia kicking in!

[williewright]

out kast influence is so heavy on the current rap generation....

[Youre_Right]

Man back in the day when hanging out drinking and barbecuing someone would sing out summer in the city and everyone would join in. Good times. Man I miss them days.

[vernellthomas]

One of my favorite songs! This is peace

[mytimebytony]

I get super sentimental when I hear this, not kidding. Every damn time! Why? I don’t know?

[TheBlackGeo]

I remember my brother picking me up from school always with a fat spliff 😂. We would ride around the city listening to this classic. Never gets old....pure gold
