"Skew It On The Bar-B" Reunion.
Author: AaronM // Category: Hip-Hop
Props to Shake who hooked me up with a CD quality version of the new Outkast joint.
It’s billed as ‘Big Boi featuring Andre 3000 & Raekwon’ but fuck it, let’s be nostalgic for a second. Least we can do in these crazy times.
“You do the hokey-pokey until you turn your life around/that’s what it’s all about.” – Andre 3000

i feel like one of the few who liked the big verse the best. there’s no slacking at all, but he just sounded like he enjoyed rapping so much, it’s hard not to like.

Everyone kills it, bding, but Andre and Big actually sound like they were in the same studio on this one.
Maybe they can bring that Aquemini/ATliens magic back for another group album.

This one will have to grow on me, I suppose, which is a shame, since “Skew It On The Bar-B” provoked an immediate reaction from me when I picked up Aquemini. Raekwon still hasn’t gotten that sleepy flow from 8 Diagrams checked on, I see. I’m sure this song will grow on me like a fungus when I put it on the iPod and hit ‘shuffle’.

Perhaps RZA needs to smack Rae in the head with a newspapaper and wake him up.
It’s pretty dense, in terms of both lyrics and production, so I feel like I’ll be unravelling this one for a while.
