Happy Valentine's Day From The Love Below

Today sucks if you're a guy. Either you're single and feeling extra lonely thanks to mass marketing's ploy to sell us more shit we don't need. All in the name of love. Or you have a girlfriend or wife and you're out a decent amount of money considering how high or low maintenance she is and how hard you had to go on the roses, chocolates, or jewelry. Oh, and don't forget dinner later tonight. 

I guess it's just another one of those things we suck up and deal with I guess because we don't have to endure child birth?

To help you grin and bear it like the stud you are, he's a song to put some pep in your step this morning, and hopefully keep you going throughout the day from those ATL boys.

This song is a lot deeper than one might think upon first listen. Lyrically, this song explores the concept of love beyond the commercialized façade of Valentine's Day, encouraging listeners to embrace genuine emotions and connections. It's a blend of satire and earnestness, wrapped in OutKast's signature genre bending style. I still remember when this double-album came out and how much people hated "The Love Below" side of it at first. "It was weird" at the time. But slowly, over a few weeks and months it began sweeping people up and became a fan favorite. This song included.
