It’s clean. It’s fresh. It’s Cutline.

by Scott Schroeder on February 3, 2007

If this is your first time here (welcome, thank you very much for your visit), try and imagine for a second with me the old and out-dated Word Press Andreas theme that I had prior to upgrading and shifting to this clean and fresh Cutline theme created by Chris Pearson who, in my opinion, is an all around good guy- in addition to all of his wonderful framework and design thus far, he offers extremely informative knowledge on just about everything surrounding the web and its development and, last, but not least, he is a dog lover too.

And, if this is not your first time here, then you know what I am talking about when I refer to that old and plain theme I formerly had for this site so, you do not have to imagine, simply indulge and, possibly, get one. Once I saw it, I had to have it (or something really similar). So, I just got the Cutline up (well, actually, G got it up) and I love it. It looks so much better than my old one but, more importantly, I hope you love it too.

If there is/are any suggestions or changes that you prefer or would recommend, please let me know (via a comment form) because, I create this content for you, the reader, and I want you to enJoy your experience here (and, hopefully, pick up some new to the cranium information as well). ScottPot, thanks to Chris Pearson with Cutline and, of course, G, my new theme reminds me of the Outkast, So Fresh, So Clean song.

Outkast (Andre' and Big Boi) Stankonia

Chorus:
Aint nobody dope as me Im dressed so fresh so clean
(so fresh and so clean clean)
Dont you think Im so sexy Im dressed so fresh so clean
(so fresh and so clean clean)
Aint nobody dope as me Im dressed so fresh so clean
(so fresh and so clean clean)
I love when you stare at me Im dressed so fresh so clean
(so fresh and so clean clean)

(big boi)
Sir luscious got gator belts and patty melts and monte carlos
And el dorados Im waking up out of my slumber feeling like ralo
So follow its your time at the apollo
Minus the kiki shepard what about a ho in a leopard-print
Teddy pender-grass cooler than freddie jackson
Sippin a milkshake in a snowstorm
Left my throat warm in the dorm room at the au
We do hey you and might do some cake too
But you must have me mistaken with them statements that you make
Cause

Chorus

(andre 3000)
Canary yellow seven house of business on display
My nigga bungle whipped it up so I gone get my rims today
So a nigga can ride out to the colorful hideout
Ima show you how to wild out like jack trippa
Let me be bambino on your snippas
Ykk on yo zippa lick you like a lizard
When Im slizzard or sober 6 million ways to fold ya
Like noah I get crews to choose and you get pretty deep
But Ill call yo ass round 8-ish I know youll be there for me
Cause

Chorus

(andre 3000)
Those huge baby eyes get to runnin off at they mouth
Tellin me everything thats on yo nasty mind
They say your malnutrition in need of vitamin d
And inviting me to that tingle in yo spine
I love who you are love who ya aint you so anne frank
Lets hit the attic to hide out for bout two weeks
With change and no chains and whips I do suck lips
Till hips jerk and double time the boy next doors a freak
Ha ha

Chorus

(and we are…) the coolest motherfunkers on the planet
(in my mind …) the sky is fallin aint no need to panic
(but oh oh…..) I got a stick and want yo automatic
(oh oh oh…) compatible created in the attic
(repeat)

Chorus 2x

Stankonia (Explicit Version)

Stankonia

Feel the rush of yet another brand new direction in hip-hop where rappers can harmonize, music is actually played not sampled, musical boundaries are non-existent and the lyrics are otherworldly in their delivery though every line hits home? That s Stankonia. Pronounced Stank-O-nee-ya. A place where there s a certain type of freedom going on in the music, used in a liberating way, the group explains.An album that will only add to the accolades for hip-hop s beloved Outkasts. With the Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik album, then 18-year-old Andre Dre Benjamin and Antwan Big Boi Patton introduced themselves to those unaware of the ways of the S.W.A.T.S. (Southwest Atlanta Too Strong). Outkast always has to come with something different including the platinum blonde wig Dre was known to don during the last their last sold-out tour with Lauryn Hill.

Initial pressings of STANKONIA will include a mix of alternate cover art. Outkast: Andre 3000 (vocals, synthesized guitar); Big Boi (vocals). Additional personnel includes: Sleepy Brown (vocals, Fender Rhodes piano, Moog bass); Khujo Goodie, Killer Mike, J-Sweet, Gangsta Boo, Eco, B-Real, Backbone, Big Gipp, Erykah Badu, Slimm Calhoun, C-Bone, T-Mo Goodie, Cee-Lo Goodie, Big Rube, Rosalin Heard (vocals); Donnie Mathis, David “Whild” Brown (guitar); Jason Freeman, Jerry Freeman (horns); Marvin “Chanz” Parkman (piano, keyboards); Earthtone III, Organized Noize (keyboards, programming); Preston Crump (bass, synthesized bass); Aaron Mills, Robert Grister, Dookie Blossumgame (bass); Victor Alexander (drums); Cutmaster Swift (cuts); Myrna “Screechy Peach” Crenshaw (background vocals). Producers: Earthtone III, Organized Noize, Carl Mo. Engineers include: John Frye, Neal H. Pogue, Kevin Parker. Principally recorded at Stankonia Recording, Atlanta, Georgia.

STANKONIA won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. “Ms. Jackson” won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group. The Atlanta-based critically acclaimed duo of Big Boi and Dre returns with yet another innovative contribution to hip-hop. STANKONIA, an album borrowing its title from the group-owned recording studio, continues Outkast’s tradition of delivering groundbreaking music. The two MCs cover topics that only they would rap about, over self-produced tracks that only they could make. Songs like “B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)” are in contrast to the current hip-hop scene, with its bass music background, while “Ms. Jackson,” a dedication to a baby’s momma’s momma, sports a soulful melody in the tradition of Outkast’s previous efforts. Either way, Outkast still proves to be in its own elite class.
