Celebrate Throwback Thursday by revisiting one of OutKast’s timeless classics, the Killer Mike-assisted “The Whole World.”
Featuring a pre-Run The JewelsKiller Mike in a supporting role, the carnivalesque banger remains one of Outkast’s most infectious singles to date. Off the top, production from Earthtone III serves to effectively transport listeners into the madcap world of Three Stacks and Sir Luscious. But don’t get it twisted — the track may be odd in nature, but all three parties are elite-level emcees and perform as such. There’s something refreshing about seeing a group find mainstream success while forging a unique and untrodden path. Or, as some might call it, the OutKast way.
QUOTABLE LYRICS
See ain’t nothing changed, hit the stage
Set a date, sucker, in battle we can engage
I’ll slice you, wife you, marry you, divorce you
Throw the Porsche at you, is what I’m forced to do
With my back against the wall, crack his back, y’all
Naw, it ain’t went nowhere like havin’ hair with stylin’ gel in it
