SpottieOttieDopaliscious

OutKast (Ft. Sleepy Brown)

“SpottieOttieDopaliscious” is a soulful, funky horn-filled jam inspired by Reggae vibes and Good Times. André gave some background on the track:

The song started with a sample I’d chopped up. I was vibing on reggae stuff at the time, listening to a lot of Bob Marley.

Iceberg Slim used to put out albums talking on beats and I was like, ‘This is cool.’ I think I laid down my verse first and Big just came in. But instead of spoken word, Big likes to call it ‘smokin’ word.‘ That was his smokin’ word.

André also revealed that another artist was potentially going to be on this song:

We were riding in the car and Erykah [Badu] was originally supposed to be on ‘SpottieOttie’ and somehow it ended up working out where she fit better on [‘LIberation’]. So she went off and wrote her thing and ended up coming back with something cool.
