OutKast – Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (Vinyl)
This 2014 re-issue was to mark the 20th Anniversary of the seminal Hip Hop classic - OutKast's 'Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik'. It was on OutKast's 1994 debut album that the production team Organized Noize began forging one of the most distinctive production sounds in popular music in the '90s: part hip-hop; part live Southern-fried guitar licks and booty-thick bass runs; and part lazy, early '70s soul. The album was not only artistically successful but also thrived commercially, leaping into the Top 20 album chart on the back of the outstanding hit single "Player's Ball" and eventually going platinum.
The music is unconditionally excellent, with languid, mellow melodies sliding atop rapid, mechanical drums. Organized Noize already had their distinguishing sound figured out, down to the last twanged, wah-wahed note. But what makes 'Southernplayalisticadillacmuzick' such a wonderful album has even more to do with the presence of its rappers, Dre and Big Boi. No one sounded like OutKast in 1994 - a mixture of lyrical acuity, goofball humor, Southern drawl, funky timing, and legitimate offbeat personalities. Few rappers of the '90s have displayed such an inventive sense of rhyme flow either, and few rap artists in general have ears as attuned to creating such catchy melodic and vocal hooks. Already an extremely strong showing, OutKast would continue to develop into one of the finest, most consistently challenging (not to mention booty-shaking) rap groups of the decade.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
