Outkast - "Player's Ball"
The song that introduced Outkast to the world. This was Andre before he became Andre 3000 and Big Boi before Daddy Fat Sacks or Sir Lucious Leftfoot. They were two teenagers from Atlanta bringing their own unique sound and this debut single hit No. 1 on the Billboard rap singles chart, where it remained for six weeks. No group has changed more over the course of their career than Outkast, and I honestly can't say they are better now than they were then or vice-versa. They have been great throughout it all and continue to grow as musicians.
Don't forget this was also a Christmas song.
ReplyDeleteThat's a true story. Song was featured on the La Face Family Christmas album and the hook finishes with "Now I'm hear to tell ya, there's a better day/When the Player's Ball is happening on Christmas Day." A Xmas classic no doubt!
