“If It Ain’t 808 In Da Trunk, It Ain’t Knock…”
AUDIO By TC on November 21, 2009 at 3:13 pmI have no explanation why I woke up with this song in my head. The music junkie’s brain processes memories to the forefront rather strangely. Regardless, it got me charged; hearing the those thunderous 808s blare from whatever contraption Organized Noize developed them from. It’s also funny how an ambiguous pairing of Mystikal and Outkast could thread the lines of squeaky clean-Dirty South funk.
On paper, you’d think Mystikal would’ve got destroyed, ripped to shreds. Although he had finally emerged as his own man after his enlistment on No Limit Records, this was Outkast at the height of their media darling takeover. MC Mystikal still earned a ribbon with his own lyrical branding, especially with the line “I wash ‘em up/ring ‘em out and throw ‘em in the dryer!!!”
Of course The Brothers Stankonia bodied the track. Big Boi ran laps around the beat like his name was Michael Johnson (the metaphor works for the song’s timeframe) and Dré…well…I mean…you hear it.
Snag this and turn it up LOUD. Picturesque lyricism in abundance.

I LOVE this song! Criminally underrated! Another fav of mine is Tough Guy where ‘Kast originally teamed up w/ UGK. Classic lines are abundant… “Cruisin down the street mindin’ my bidness because I’m trill, stopped by the ATM to grab a thousand dollar bill, now peel, like apples and peaches because I’m chill, and ninjas around my way will respect because I’m real…” – Daddy Fat Sacks
Outcasts
the whole wood soundtrack was tight.
its funny how a good song can be found on a terrible soundtrack. if you look at the artists listed on The Wood sdtk, you would think good music for 1999. if you listen to the music on there,…. eh, not so much.
outkast was the one saving grace, aside from the 4 old school tracks (whodini, ahmad,biz markie, luther vandross).
Neck uv da woods remix…

Ah, one of the underrated tracks from Mystikal’s “Let’s Get Ready” album. I still think that album is somewhere in my room. Everybody remembers Danger and Shake Ya Ass, but I bumped this track more than any other.
