Andre 3000 f/ Norah Jones - Take Off Your Cool
Oh Andre 3000 - how I love you. Let me count the ways:
You’ze a funky mofo
You wear pearls. And plaid sweater vests. And ponchos. And safari hats. And suspenders. Pretty much all things counter-intuitive of a black urban male.
I loved you in Four Brothers. Yup - I really did.
You have about a million alias. And everyone knows having an alias is cool.
You play the violin.
You’re a vegetarian. While not for me, its still cool beans.
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik was my introduction to southern rap. And what better introduction then that.
Did I mention you’ze a funky mofo?
I could go on but who has time for that? The Love Below is prolly one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time. Its funky, its jazzy, its funny and its groovy. I love everything from the unexpected elements (falsetto singing - really?) to Andre’s always entertaining phrasing. Its been well over 5 years since the album was released and I am STILL tickled everytime I listen to “Where Are My Panties?”.
Take Off Your Cool is a silky smooth track thats more instrumentals then vocals. I picked it mainly because I think its something most people would glance over on their Outkast voyage. I like all of the facets of Outkast and I hope that this is one you can enjoy as well!
