I'm sure it is good since the album is incredible. I'm like 17 tracks deep on this and it is still solid! Way too good for radio.

if this movie was released when the love below was out it would have had a better opening, but they had a hard time getting the moive out

If u notice... Morris Browns drums are the same from New Position

No they're not.

I am a drum programmer..All he did was take the snare from the beginning and the kickdrum...U can clearly hear the air in the sample..only in the beginning on Morris Brown because it's the only part before the horns and drums come on.

Listen to that beginning and tell me its not New Positions...

Well being from ATL and a fan since 94. I have this to ask:"what if they'd done a Krush Groove or a Purple Rain style film w/the dungeon family? then what? or how about a "tougher than leather", "state property", "house party" or "how high"? Let's face it as far as hip hop movies "idlewild" will go down as being ok....and creative. If they had done a movie about the ATL music scene then y'all would be saying their bitters of "PR"!!!!

Meloh 9 mentioned something about nobody noticing 'Kast doesn't rhyme together anymore. Bruh.....what else is there for them to do. They've been bestfriends since they were 15....they're almost 30 now. They're grown, got kids, BB has a wife.do they really need to be all up under each other at this point? I stopped looking for Andre 3000 to go back to Dre of 94-96 a look time ago. BB 06 ain't BB 96. Hip hop bores 3000 now. BB in my opinion is coasting. He's been in the game long enough....he has nothing to prove he's having fun now.They said @ the 94 source awards "the south got something to say" ....nobody believed them. 12yrs later they got more than some non-believers at the source awards listening.....

No, I said that they lack chemistry as a group now, not that they don't rap together. I also went on to say that I would rather they break up now on a high note, than to do the seperate but together thing that will eventually take its toll on the music. As you stated "what else is it for them to do". I also said that if this all flops it can give them a reason to make a comeback, something to strive for. I love kast, trust me.

I've not seen the movie but that sounds too weird for words , like Christopher Tracy singing " Dig U Better dead " to Mary Sharon at the end of UTCM or something

Was this movie originally suppose to been on HBO??

YOUR CORRECT !! from my view the youths especially the males left the theatre looking bewildered, they have no clue what that era was about and with the saturation of rap and hip hop sadly it will go over many heads


I personally loved it and my bf was like it was okay and this was me

I loved it too.

I don't get it. There's a lot of b*tching about the shallowness, materialism and negativity of hip hop culture, but when something refeshingly different is offered look what happens...

Sigh~maybe it's me.

so true it was refreshing to see instruments ,style and overall revisiting an era in time

babynoz said:

people like to complain but at the same time they don't like anything too different

babynoz said:

Ok I saw it and I still don't GET IT. How does "She Lives in My Lap" apply to this scene?

DaisyHall said:

I still didn't see the movie, but I guess its like saying she lives on in my lap, or my heart

- Saw the Movie -

It was a Good Movie, Nicely Done and Creative -
Andre Singing out of Key (and having the nerve to Record it)
but still making it work, is still hard for me to get into..

And Yeah, They sampled alot of Prince's Drums -
At the End of the Movie , when the beat Comes on, I just knew DMSR was about to begin..I guess in a world of Sampling, Creativity is defined different now adays..

Blessings

I finaly saw the film last friday, I loved every moment of it.

well,what do you guys think? Did 'Idlewild' flop?

could this be Outkast's first flop?

I'd love to see it, but somehow I doubt it will make it to the movies overhere .

Staring at a blank screen 4 a couple of hours would b better than UTCM.

I don't know, but some critics have mixed feelings about the album. I personally like the album, although, I don't necessarily think a movie will help the sells of the accompanying soundtrack alone. The Idelwild soundtrack just needs better promotion or something!?
