Happy Valentines Day

when i listen to this i visualize andre 3000 as cupid......he's chasing people who's running from love, and eventually he sees it as a regular ass job.....after "work" he goes home to his girlfriend and the ill effects of having to chase people all day for a living in the name of love have changed his perception of love AND people, he can't express his true feelings because of the bitterness towards his "job" and it's completely affecting his personality.....basically this song is Cupid fed up with people AND his job

this man is a fucking genious my favorite black man

This disc took me a minute to get used to, but I cannot deny everything Andre touches turns gold...better yet, platinum! Good song. It's deep, even though it's light hearted.

Technically this song is by Andre 3000, not Outkast.

Ok the song is pretty self explanatory. Everyone is tired of Cupid and love and Cupid is fed up with it. He can't understand how people believe in Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny but not him. He also says that he understands he has caused trouble when it comes to love but he is going to fix it and everyone should believe in Cupid

at the end, i'm pretty sure the female voice is saying "fuck that valentine's, fuck that valentine's"

fuck that valentine... fuck that fuck that valentines, fuck that valentine's da ayyy

Wrong Wrong Wrong. It goes without saying that 3000 is incredibly gifted. I have always noticed that he has had a special interest in understating love and relationships...and thats what the Love Below is all about it. Imagine Cupid (True Love) talking to 3 Stacks. Now 3000 is the big time rapper has been through a lot of women

"Hey! Don't you supposed to be some kind of player or something?" "But how am I to know with the profession that I'm in?"

Cupid is telling Andre if you don't believe in real love why do you believe in other fantastical things (not Santa or the Easter Bunny but ideas)

As you get older and keep going through girls you "run" away from the idea of "True Love" but it keeps after you the farther you get

"Well keep on runnin', player 'Cause I got my good shoes on And I got 'em tied up tight So, you're going to find out tonight!"

3000 thinks cause hes of a certain stereotype involving girls that he cant share his feelings saying he does not want to get involved with all the things that come with a relationship

"Got a sweet lil' darling back in my corner Below I know I love her, but act like I don't want her Surrounded by the lonely, but yet feel like a loner Could be an organ donor The way I give up my heart, but Never know because ? shit, I never tell her! Ask me about my feelings I'd holla' that it's irrela' I don't get myself caught up in the Jello gella'"

But cupid says that this so called true love can take him to new heights:

For the record, have you ever rode a horse? Would I like for you to take me to Pluto? I said, "Of course!"

In a conversation with cupid he basically says if your not mature enough and ripe to be involved in a relationship then don't. Goodluck till then but In the meantime give him examples why he's the shit going through a a bunch of girls (sarcasm). Then finally ponders how cupid could help him if hes never made an effort to do what cupid tells him to do. Its like a Christianity god or cupid in this case is always there for you. If you choose to work hard love will be there to be your friend.

But if you ain't a sweety indeedy, I won't endorse Hans Solo till I'm hit by the bullet, so may the force Be with you, and I'll hit you when better time permits For now, give me examples of why you're the shit! But how am I to know with the profession that I'm in? And if you do not know me, then how could you be my friend?

My interpretation.
