Wow wow wow wow wow wow. Unbelievable.

Sounds like she just dubbed some vocals on a song she had no other input to.

[Top Cat]

It sounds f**king incredible. I can't f**king wait to hear it. It's a f**king monster song & people are going to f**king love it.
I hope there are a lot of f**king F bombs all through the f**king song.

Well, Kate is known for having a mouth like a sailor.

I'd read an interview where he said Kate Bush is basically his favorite musician, or tied with one other person. I'd still be interested to hear it although, as people have said, it sounds like her actual input is minimal. I suppose they're kindred spirits in that they both release, like, one album every ten years now, and one gets the sense they have a cupboard full of music at home that we'll never hear as long as they're alive.

Is he pretty popular?

Can I have that without Rap?

He is half of Outkast, who are considered one of the biggest, most influential hip hop groups around. I'm not a massive fan, but I do think they're pretty clever and interesting:

Thanks for posting that video John, I enjoyed it.
I think there's plenty of room in the music world for all different genres.
I do enjoy some hip hop, but not rap. I think the early years of rap, came from a place that was real. Today's rap, like much of all genres of music has become recycled and commercialized to the point, it should be called pop rap.
Over the years I've come to appreciate and enjoy classic country, from the early years of it's origin up to the early 70's when it became commercialized.
Love Bluegrass, which in my early years we laughed at.

The video and music was fun, enjoyable and entertaining. I think it was the cat's f**king meow, or the bees f**king knees. lol

I'm a casual Bush fan, so this won't be on my autobuy list.

I've always liked Big Boi and Andre 3000 and he has certainly sung Kate's praises for many years. This ought to be interesting.

I consume a pretty decent amount of music, and I periodically get burned out on my usual diet of prog-rock and prog-adjacent art-rock and dive into some other genre for awhile. During those phases I do tend to listen to a lot of hip-hop, and OutKast are a frequent choice when I'm in that mood.

I think the OutKast album "Aquemini" is about as close to progressive rock, in terms of both spirit and sound, as any hip-hop I've heard. The second half has some long, sprawling, multi-part songs with dense sonic layering and a very broad sonic palette, with lots of live instrumentation and smart arranging. I bought it when it came out and have listened to it at least a couple of times a year in the 20ish years since.

In general I've found that dedicated music in any genre appreciate progressive rock, and hip-hop is no different... for instance this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSxlZQUqVPY

I’m neither a fan nor am I knowledgeable about hip hop, but the few things that I have heard from OutKast were much more interesting to me than most hip hop that I hear.
