Details

• While attending high school Outkast would regularly go to a nightclub called Charles Disco. The events in 'SpottieOppieDopaliscious' take place in a fictional version of the venue. Andre is on record as saying that in real life he passed out drunk before he gained entry.
  
  
• The song was originally supposed to feature Erykah Badu. Badu would go on to feature on the track 'Liberation' from the same album. She gave birth to Andre's child in 1997, a year before the release of the album.
  
  
• Big Boi said during an Ask Me Anything on Reddit that the title of the song means "a girl that is superfine, bad, sexy, intelligent and jazzy all at the same time." 



• "Iceberg Slim used to put out albums talking on beats and I was like, this is cool. I think I laid down my verse first and Big just came in. But instead of spoken word, Big likes to call it smoking word. That was his smoking word." (Andre)


• Aquemini refers to the combination of an aquarius and a gemini. Big Boi is an aquarius and Andre a gemini.
