ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: OUTASIGHT
Tuesday, March 4, 2008

♫ Outasight - Good Evening
Meet Outasight. Born and raised in Yonkers, New York, Outasight (Richard Andrew) was brought up by a mother who decorated the walls with records and a father who was always playing the guitar. “Constantly moving from apartment to apartment never really gave me a true sense of home, but I always found comfort in music,” says the rapper/singer. He cites his influences as: Stevie Wonder, Mos Def, Marvin Gaye and The Beetles.
Currently an emerging talent in the hip-hop scene (he has opened for artists such as Me’Shell Ndegeocello and Dead Prez), you should definitely look out for more of his music in the future..

Blue eyed soul. I could dig it. Something I could listen to on a Saturday morning cleaning up.

Its good. Not too bad for someone like him. He also sounds somewhat like Kanye West. Just saying though. Still, this is fresh music.

Its different which I like but the song isnt that appealing, its not good enough to be a single.
He has a great voice though

Dead Prez let this dude open for them, lol? There goes their credibility. This dude sounds like a “hip hop soul” Eminem.

I don’t particularly like the song, but his voice is weird. It sounds a little bird like. Maybe its me.

All the CL readers that praise this cat, most of them are white.

@29
LMAO, you said that most of the people praising him are white but then you said that the people that don’t like him can “go to Hell”. By your own logic, I guess that you’re white. In 5 years, this dude will drop his neo-soul dreams and become a rocker. In 20 years he’ll have his own label.

I can definitely dig it. He has a point to pursuing this. Quitting his day job is by far not a fair assessment or statement. I’m muting that discordant side that could dissuade my congratulatory recognition of talent packaged in a blue eyed songstress. Nevertheless, a true talent to the genre;soul
My mind spoke, I didn’t write.

Dead. The black/white issue again. Soul ain’t a black gene thing. It’s whether you grew up listening to it, or not. That’s it, done dada. Oh, and this guy sounds dope.

@44
“Soul” has nothing to do with what you grew up listening to. “Soul” is a spirit, a spirit of creativity and expression that has been associated with black people due to our ability to create something out of what seems to be nothing. There’s a difference between a spirit and a genre of music. If you like dude’s music then you like his music, but spare me with the misappropriation and the “color doesn’t matter” nonsense.

Get this Shiite outta here….White people who do black music is no novelty. But he should not get a pass just because of his skin color. Check out some REAL Blue eyed soul like Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Bobby Caldwell, Michael Sembelo, Jon B, and to a lesser extent Robin Thicke..

Soul isn’t a black thing. It’s not what you grew up listening. It’s what you’re born with. I like his style a lot. I wasn’t expecting to like it but it’s nice. Good music is good music. There shouldn’t be white/black conflict. If it’s good its good. If it’s not its not.

Im so over the ” great white R&B artist” nonsense . Nothing stands out about him .. Can we say John Mayer ?? .

John Mayer doesn’t rap…stop with the comparisons..next thing you know someone going to say he sound like JT LOL

First and foremost - The Music…. It’s fresh, it’s smooth, it’s funky, I’m def lovin it BIG time.
Secondly, Who cares what “color” he is? Has anyone here ever heard of this thing called Evolution? We’re all related… we’re all family! But this isn’t a discussion board for racial debates… it’s a comment board where ya’ll can speak your peace about his music…
My peace: OUTASIGHT’S MUSIC IS DOPE.

@ 54& Obviously I listened to the song and the first thing I heard was John Mayer , so what was your point ? lol @ John Mayer not having a flow like that . So he can’t sound like John Mayer because John doesn’t rap ? You’re as dumb as you half-assed sentence you replied with. Don’t get upset with me because I dont see anything special about him . If you want to praise him, do you . You worshipping ass bandwagon jumpers on here a pathetic .
@ 55 Are you bored ? I will compare if I see or hear a comparison . He sound alot like John Mayer ( while singing, for the slow learners) . Atleast have a point if you’re going to reply.

No biggie. I just failed to see how you could compare him to John Mayer when he is a rapper [You called him R&B..and he’s not..]. You must not listen to John Mayer much. Maybe a similar version of Citizen Cope but not John Mayer LOL definitely not John.

Were did all these weird ass screen names come from? All these extra-brand new posters. The label hired like 25 people to post positive comments.

@ 59 give it a rest already . Are you really that dumb? So singing doesnt make you an R&B artist ? So If you rap and sing what are you branded as ?. So I cant compare his voice to John Mayer because he rap also ?? Lmao …. GTFOH . lol @ you getting emotional calling me Biggie . Lmao. You idol worshipping already . I hate to see how you will act in a year ( If he makes it that far ) . You’re going to be giving out cyber ass whoppin’s huh ? I thought Beyonce’s concreteloop fanbase was lunatics but you on his nuts and he’s not even international yet . WOW lmao … And he still sounds like John Mayer .

Outside of him being white, I’m not really impressed. I don’t think his sound is all that fresh and new. It actually sounds like the standard alternative r&b/neo-soul type of joint.
