Even though I’ve always liked hip-hop, I’ve never considered myself a huge hip-hop fan for whatever reason. But despite all of that, I’ve always been a major fan of Outkast (me and everyone else, right?). In fact, one of my unexpected favorite moments from this years Pitchfork Festival was during the Big Boi set when he started performing Outkast hits among his own and I really realized how much I loved their tunes. I think it was partially surprise because for some reason it had never crossed my mind that Big Boi would be performing Outkast songs (I’m a little slow sometimes). His album Sir Lucious Left Foot…The Son of Chico Dusty, released just a few months back, has been a pretty big hit in my opinion. But for whatever reason, this great track didn’t make the cut. It really makes me wonder sometimes. But “Lookin For Ya”, featuring Sleepy Brown and other-half-of-Outkast Andre 3000, is still a jam worthy of being heard, thanks to the power of the internet. Makes me want to listen to the whole Outkast discography for the rest of the day.
