Bands to watch in 2k12: The Outkasts

As Yall know, I am always searching 4 the most ‘under the radar’ band 2 blog about, and make my blog more valuable since I unearth Brooklyn Buzz Bands, and other bands that sound like they are good.

Today, I will blog about a band called the Outkasts of Society. I think their name is social commentary on being a black back in a white world.

One of them is a blipster and one of them is a ‘thug.’

From what I can tell, their song “Hey Ya” also known as “Hey Yall” will probably be the next ‘Young Folks’ by Peter Bjorn and John

I think they mite win a Grammy 1 day.

They have 2 different brands, but they merge together in order to form something authentic.

From what I can tell, their album cover is a metaphor about their President being black.

They are also political. They have a song about the War on Terror In Iran/Afghanistan called ‘Bombs Over Baghdad.’

I think they have a brand of ‘dudes who probably cum on a lot of girls’ to ‘dehumanize’ them.

But that’s why they are so brilliant. Their best song is probably “I’m Sorry Ms. Jackson.” In the song, the Outkasts sing to a mom of a girl who they got pregnant.

Do yall think this band is ‘cool’?
Do u think they will be the next Cool Kids/Spank Rock/ Bloc Party / Oasis / Metro Station?
Is this what music will sound like after bloghouselectro/AnCo dies?
Do u think this band will ‘make it’ in the emerging BLIPSTER demographic who don’t value the traditional ‘thug values’ of yester-year’s rappers?

    the “artist formerly known as andre 3k” and “big boiii” are worthless. but together ‘outkast collective’ is good i guess. but ‘ms. jackson’ isn’t as authentic as ‘the jackson 5′.

    ummmmm i’ve sat through your irrelevant bs for the last month i’ve followed you but this post takes the cake. Outkast can’t be the “new” anything, they’ve already been there done that, they’ve been around for over 10 years carlessssss! com on. That album with the black flag was released in 2000, long before there was a blac pres to metaphorize about. Andre 3000 was a blipster longg before there was a dinky term to be clever over. you have it backwards Cool Kids/Spank Rock/ Bloc Party / Oasis / Metro Station are the new Outkasts not the other way around. get your shit together man

    carles

    steve aokster is coming to my pointless Canadian unviersity town and i’m trying to decide if i should spend 20 dollars to go and see the guy play music that their house dj would play for free. or should i flash my press passes and go for free and feel like i’m above everybody there because they spent 20 dollars and i didn’t because i’m ‘way beyond’ but still enjoy bangers but still have an obligation to cover such events for the entry-level and mnstrm community that inevitably inhabits much of urban canada?

    or should i ignore it and let it pass without any press coverage and pretend that the alt 20 dollar dj economy doesn’t exist?

    its kinda annoying as someone who enjoys hiphop and outkast to see you talk about outkast as if they havent already been far more successful than any other alt house crew or band or whatev..

    but then again, you’re probably just joking about it all. im in an annoying jewish studies class so im killing time, =/

    since when has irony been so poorly received?
    I thought this was spot on, especially since the never-ending quest for the next hot track seems to be all most jockeys are given airtime for.
    kudos, carles.
    and judos, to you haters.

    if you need me, i’ll be listening to the next big indie duo, the everly brothers.

    “They have a song about the War on Terror In Iran/Afghanistan called ‘Bombs Over Baghdad.’”

    that doesnt even make sense. you mention war on terror in Iran/Afghanistan, but baghdad is in IRAQ, not in iran or afghanistan. and last time i knew, we never went into iran…
