"The Art of Storytellin Part 4 (feat. Outkast & Marsha Ambrosius)" by DJ Drama
Curated by: Tyler Pavlas
Spotify: bit.ly/TheArtofStorytellinDJDrama
Genre: #hiphop
The art of storytelling has been around since the times of cave drawings and sabretooth tigers and despite the millennia of its existence, André 3000 is undisputedly one of the best this world’s seen at spinning a yarn. Unraveling words like a literary yo-yo, André yanks the rhyme scheme back up when he feels like it, whether on beat or the beginning of a new line, all the while, overlaying syllable patterns to keep you on your toes and engaged.
OutKast’s “art of storytelling” series starts on their 1998 album Aquemini with Parts 1 & 2 on the lineup as Tracks 9 & 10, respectively. Vignettes from the streets, Pt. 1 is a heartbreaking story of fictional characters Suzy Screw and Sasha Thumper, who is oft-compared to 2Pac’s Brenda, while Pt. 2 continues the tale through apocalyptic metaphors. “Knowing”, the unofficial 3rd installment, on the Speakerboxxx half of their 2003 release, features Big Boi waxing hood poetic on the ills of indulgence.
By Pt. 4, it’s time for a lyrical exercise, a much more lighthearted edition that features André 3K laying down a verse worthy of the hip hop hall of fame. My first thought -- why the hell is this on a DJ Drama album??? Turns out, it’s a bizarre sequence of events, starting with a cancelled OutKast Gangsta Grillz mixtape, followed by a police raid of DJ Drama’s studio, and culminating with a Don Cannon beat and inspired hook from Marsha Ambrosius. Hit play and thank your lucky stars that OutKast didn’t stop at a trilogy.
