Outkast - B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad) (Official HD Video) 

I wish man, but honestly I don't think it's "drugged out" and the flows are too good for a larger majority these days.

@@rustyshackelford934 lyrical rap can still top the charts like Kendrick Lamar's songs for example

I do agree that music nowadays is too drugged up tho

@@rustyshackelford934 while I agree with you, this song (and especially the music video) is supposed to represent outkast on a psychedelic trip.

ahahaha!

Apt on a song like this where Big Boi matches him, just about

Outkast is Always Legendary Forever Forever

Yaaaaaaaaas

He's the original Paperboi.

Hold up. 3K recognized in print that Big Boi is the better half. What is true music about, other than being a collaborative effort?

How they received hate

Are you talking about the Source Awards? If so that was a NY crowd hating on them for being from the south

This song has not aged well. Still catchy, but embarrassing now. - [The song became increasingly popular during the Iraq War in 2003. Many radio stations increased its airplay and U.S. troops were using it as a battle cry. During the 2003 NASDAQ-100 Open, tennis player Jennifer Capriati requested it to be played. Both members of Outkast have clarified they opposed the invasion, with Big Boi wishing that the U.S. government consulted the United Nations before taking action and Andre 3000 stating that the half-hearted bombings are a metaphor for lack of dedication in the music industry.] - wiki

​@@tilasole3252 Uh, only idiots thought it was pro-war. The only thing that aged poorly is all the stupid Americans who were bloodthirsty after 9/11. Congrats, you avenged a few thousand Americans by killing hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern citizens.

Not really because they wasnt making music like this around that time.This song came out in 2000 I think

💯

True.

Facts

TRUE

Yes they did

Facts!!!!! ErrrrrrrrrrBody!!

All nem!!!🔥🔥🦦

Yes! I got here thinking about how crazy Busta videos were for that time lol

Shawnte Walker aww the good old days of hip hop

missy elliot is garbage compared to this

The best part of Missy Elliot was actually Timbaland.

🅒🅞🅝🅢🅟🅘🅡🅐🅒🅨 they were great as a team👍

IT IS AMAZING AND IT IS ALSO COLORFUL OMG-

Watching this music video in 2021... you really do realize just HOW far ahead of their time Outkast were. Everybody's just playing catch-up to them.

Layers. Energy. Creativity. All boxes checked.

One of the sickest productions ever! This Jon goes crazy!

For real! You can't listen to this and NOT feel a certain way. What masterpiece indeed

Shit I'm listening in 2024❤😂

This track highlights how outkast is so in their own lane that they are timeless.

Ndea Monk I’m from England and I agree!

Fuck yeah, it is! This was and still is some of the most exciting music ever produced-indeed, a masterpiece.

Alabama white boy here, and I can still remember porches and apartments of my buddies that this Technicolor dream represents. It's beautiful.

Ndea Monk everything’s better down south

This should be in a museum of modern art.

Amen and Amen!!! Over and over again!!!

And still one of the most visually stunning videos in existence. The hyper-saturation is everything. 🔥🔥🔥

100% 🤙

Lol 👍🏾 so true!

It really doesn't suprise me though. I have seen this video many times and I am just now seeing Lenny Kravitz in it lol!

That man has the sauce

I WILL BRING BARS BACK ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I-7PuSxuNec.html

David Whild and I so agree

Jimmy Hendrix

All that flavor and creativity is devoid nowadays smh

The 1980s had pastel and neon. The 1990s going into the 2000s had bold and oversaturated. I'm so sure metallic colors were somewhere...

Charlie Brown Not even close. It's great but the top 10 has to be reserved for the most revolutionary and influential songs ever and unfortunately this songnjust isn't that.

%100000000 stank

Charlie Brown I hear the gospel a lot lol

Yo so true. But it’s done seamlessly. People have tried to do this and it doesn’t work as well as this. Perfect blend of genres. Hip Hop at its finest

you forgot drum n bass ;)

Psychedelic Music too

Yes!! Totally agree!!

ask yourself who actually pushes the music and has the advertising budget to put artists in ur face. Its not the people thats the problem its universal records and others who push the narrative of the youth .

Young Thug could take a lesson.

Correct

Bowen Homes off Bankhead Hwy.

Sleep well sweet children. We will never ever forgot. #momnow #blacklivesmatter #ourchildrenmatter

Good to know.

Good to know brother always wondered about that scene in video. Makes me love the song even more.

Timestamp please

Wu-Tang forever

​@Asian2706 don't get wrong. Wu Tang is great, but I give the edge to Outkast.

@@garywilliams2108 Without Wu Tang there is no Outkast, I don’t get you wrong, but you need to get me right LOL

AND Big Boi

right

Outkast = rap legends

Michael McGrory yes

Yep

great song for a party because people who like different genres can find something they like in this song

I was 13 at a house party and heard this. I was hooked.... B.O.B... Best of buds...❤

Wow, the first song you didn't ruin!

@@GEM4sta 😂 yeah, you might could say that. if I knew then what I know now, you know?

You don’t need to touch perfection. Some songs transcend. Fuck even Scooby Doo has used this song. If you get a Scooby Doo chase sequence you know your song is good.

Easily some of the most talented musicians of our lifetime. Andre 3000 is a musical prodigy. Dude can play EVERY instrument featured in his music. Truly amazing skill

Absolutely!

and then rap flushed it all away with total garbage they've been pumping out for 20 years since how?.... why?

indelible.....nice word!!!!!

@@notimportant3686 music changes, that’s how it has always been and always will. you think people used to rock and roll easily adjusted to rap when it became popular? it’s soemthing you need to be open minded towards and search for what you enology instead of harping on people for enjoying what you don’t

Man, this is amazingly great! I really like how they never tried to be like anyone else.

Nah but its a good song

Yes

Doubt

Ehhhhhh, no. But still great.

Have you made a cover yet ?

Glad someone else noticed as well! Bless

Right!!

Fire

Glad someone noticed it’s amazing

Just nasty!!! 🙌🏾

Facts!

Agreed

Firefly Festival 2014 - I've never seen that many people lose their minds all at the same time. They opened with this song.

Always on a Friday before going to a club....boombing system in the car! B. O. B!

Amen to that, nothing out ther compares to this!!!!

whitest take ever. ruined the song.

The following line can be used as a follow up reffering to: "if you pull out a gun, you better have a target"

I'm a soldier. 2000-2003. Thanks for listening.

@@matthewbooker1016Thank you for your service

@@matthewbooker1016 Thank you for your service. #respect

In what?

LOL So true..

Can confirm. XD See also: Rebel Yell by Billy Idol ;)

This and ludacris..lol

aaaah thats what happend, well time to pay the fine

Can absolutely back this; this came out probably at the height of my "RAWR" angry white boy nu-metal days but even I couldn't deny that this song was a fuckin' banger.

Perfectly explained my thoughts when it first came out, even though I already knew OutKast. “WTF is this and why is it so good?”

Outkast took the flavor & aesthetic of the Psychedelic movement. cranked it to 11, then brought that to Atlanta. the results are fucking awesome!

@@BarefootKommando I don't know of any psychedelic movement around that time ? Do you ?

@@bontempo1271 The whole hippie thing came back in the 90s, in an underground way with the rising popularity of Jam bands & resurging interest in LSD. Hell, some friends of my parents followed the Dead for a couple years after Garcia died. Shortly put, yeah, there was a psychedelic revival in the 90s

Same! It saddens me as we get older, we'll never see anlther group of the likes of these two again. Glad I was apart of this era, and enjoyed while I did.

Dungeon Family! Yes!!!

Earthgang is here and they’re contributing to this energy

Big Boi has had the worst luck ever: being overshadowed by a more unique voice in Andre. Andre is not as good an MC or freestyler as BB, but he is a far superior musician. Had BB been in a duo or group with other rappers, he would have been given more credit because his delivery and style is top notch, the problem is that everytime he gets mentioned, everybody thinks of him alongside Andre, who had more unique writing, a more unique cadence and a more unique sound to his stuff, his presence kind of took over musically.

I’ve been saying this for years. I think he deserves to be included in the list of greats along with 3k.

@@skyofthelivingdeadI wouldn’t say he should be included in the greatest ever conversation but he is a great no doubt. But two verses from Dre solidify him as one of the all time greats: the verse on Walk it Out remix, and the verse on interlude on Lil Wayne’s Carter 4. Probably the two greatest verses I’ve heard from him

@@charcoalcowboywell, I think we can both agree with OP here; he is criminally underrated for sure.

yea for sure but personally i think they are both amazing !!!

I put this beat up their with "planet rock" it's dope on so many levels!!!!! A masterpiece of hip hop !!!!

Lol no

Kid

It’s timeless

It literally did this song predicted bombing Baghdad

Yes it is

all their songs were....

I left out jazz and rap*

@@oli9881 sorry, I don't get it.

I wouldn’t say jazz but I understand why you say it, it’s funky, I would add drum n bass too. They are great indeed aren’t they? I’ve found this song in a game 😆

It's Jungle/Drum and Bass.

It's just an electro beat. Drum and Bass is a different structure and tempo.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's a very ATL thing from the 90s, go listen to My Boo by Ghost town DJs and there's so many other songs like that out of ATL

@@flyleelee5351 facts it’s part of the Atlanta early 90s culture we had our own version of bass music

Andre said, whilst in England, was the first time he heard DnB and it inspired him so much he made this.

lol Cosmic Jam Session

+afauxican_american you really think Outkast was THAT high at the time?

+afauxican_american yes. awesome

+afauxican_american I mean, they are ATLiens, so.........

that's great

Facts!

Agree

@Uh Idk Ummm thats why they called it B.O.B

@Uh Idk it would be censored the fuck out the song would worthless.

Shit, the internet wouldn't be able to get back up after this. I know the video is being censored now, Mfers.

It's hip hop, rock, techno, gospel, dance funk,.....this IS Music in all its glory

Michael Otis Word ✊ Music of this caliber remibds me that not EVERYTHING about humanity is fu*ked, gives me hope for the future, lol.

Andrew A indeed! It's a celebration of life, an escape to a perfect world where you can lose yourself away from everything.... They certainly don't make music like this anymore today.

you sure?

Andrew A this song is a masterpiece but your comment is so ignorant towards all the other kinds of music like seriously no this doesnt have everything thats good about music in it if you were to make a song like that it would be atleast an hour long or it would just feel way to weird switching through all these diffrent soundscapes without proper transitions(although it would also be an experience woth my time) pls keep an open mind and give other music a chance i myself disliked hip hop like i disliked classical and jazz but i gave them a chance took a couple tries now i couldnt do without them (like your missing out on so many other types of emotions mindsets and cant really experience live fully through always being affected by 1 kind style) my ego was standing in my way, stopping me from taking it in as it is i was looking for the music i already liked in all these very diffrent kinds of music but i gave it time i waited a few weeks and gave it a chance again and again, in my subciounces it was echoing and echoing i started havingh a earworm and didnt know what it was untill i gave that stuff i didt get the first few times anorher chance and low and behold theyre was my earworm only greater much greater because theyre was so much more to get than the little catchy part my mind saved so to speak so yeah i hope for once somebody actually accepts my "wisdom" cause im telling you it will be worth it, i know its hard to get over your ego but just take your time step by step. you will realise all sound is music

And probably never will

Ok I am .they make sense, dam good song.god bless ya.

Alright,alright, alright.

South running hip hop nowadays

South been saying what need to be said. Haven't bit they tongue once. Respect from the West since day one✊

OutKast changed the game in 95 with that declaration, proceeds to make music that transcends East north South West. I mean chopped and screwed, Trap, Crunk are all southern traditions, OutKast on a league of their own.

@@silentrevolver4600 Tru Kingz of the souf!

Too bad all they're saying nowadays is mumbled. Even their clothes are mumbled today. Outkast is forever and 3000 years from now will be ahead of the game.

I assume the whole school clapped after?

​@APPEALtoFEAR yes they did

it's beyond it's time. cooler than cool in any era

pt88gt I agree!! Kids these days will never experience this!!

Santwone S.

wat you talkkin bout? lil yachty waaay better....

+paperman yea for y'all younger generation but my generation this was REAL HIP-HOP

paperman yachty is garbage

Moreno Papi this song still hype lol. I'll bump this forever

UGK than Outkast !!!!!! Pimp and Bun on another level they stayed true to the hood so I'll say UGK the best all they albums ride from beginning to end!!!!!!

Roll Tide, dont choose, I know I can't.

This was from like '03

this is a 2000 song

its from the 2000's lol

UploadEverything Music has changed so much even if they did make music again the radios wouldn't play their songs

The Real CJ Thats Sad...

some shit changes but the basics of what makes people jump around never changes, just needs a new twist... if Hey Ya was just released first time this year it would go massive.

FO' SHO'!!!

doesnt matter. we live in an age today were all music is readily avalaible to anyone. even without radio play, your album can easily go up in the charts or at least reach your targeted audience.

We used to play it on our loud speaker every day when we rolled out on missions in Baghdad.

Big K.R.I.T

Why does people always seems to forget about The Roots?

I'd say it's because The Roots get put in with backpack and people love to hate on backpack for some reason. The Roots are amazing. Illadelph Halflife is a masterpiece.

Ryan Thugest Ultralight Beam - Kanye West

KMSNOW lol first thing I thought was "Kanye prob has one"

Makakast? 🙏🤷🏻‍♂️

Just saw Big Boi w Sleepy on Friday and they crushed it. Sick show

yeah sadly 3k I think doesn't have a passion for music much

@@strangertoyou1065 it’s not that he doesn’t have the passion anymore, he just chillin. Let that man play his random instruments that nobody knew he could play lmao. He’s still inspiring cause I’m tryna learn how to play electric guitar and the piano by ear.

@@strangertoyou1065 : OutKast don’t need to come back they cemented their place in hip hop 🔥🔥

Never even thought to use this as a workout song. Thank you! :)

Daniel Hughson thanks for the recommendation

Daniel Hughson ha ha one of my workout songs also

Daniel Hughson lol facts

Most mainstream rappers but the underground is blowing up with sick lyricist's

thank you, Captain…..

Andre was always my favorite out of the two, but his lyrics show why

@@Salvador Dalí You are setting a low bar ... Flo from Progressive insurance is better than most rappers these days. (When was the last time you heard a funky diabetic?)

we need 3stacks ASAP... coz half of these rappers have brain damage - Marshall

darth vacra my favorite Outkast song to this day is still Elevators (Me & You)

I'm like that with that Los Bandelero by Don Omar, don't know what they saying but that shit rocking.

I’m so glad outkast was the one for you 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

I was

Wow so true! Never thought about that 😂

It is that lit

This is everything, jungle, drum n bass, rock, punk, hip hop…… Outkast babeee

@@Letizia2810 outkast is pretty punk, they don't let industry standards define them and actively want against them and that's as punk as you can get

@@libertyprime619 yeah definitely 🙌

As they should.

Thank you for your service. Vet here too (and a RN at a VA) and this track is still bumpin, 24 years later.

This kind of aesthetic has been done a million times in other music genres.

​​@@Offensive_Usernamefter OutKast of course huh? Your rebuttal is half assed, doesn't really imply when. Which is important context, considering he used "today."

@@Offensive_Usernameno one has been able to capture it as beautifully as OutKast.

I am. Only meant look at 1 video and dammit I'm 7 in!

Always been a big OutKast fan but this is the first time im listening to all their albums all the way trough

I am Nov.18,2019 Georgia boy

I'm on a outkast bender as of late lol

Lol

Good

Damn girls.....

This is infinity times better than sicko mode

Play it to your children on zGuy Fakes night Nov 5th. Cellerbrating Guy ? Guy hated lieing bullies. Guy blew the up 🧨 Guy was a good guy.

Sicko mode has absolutely nothing on this. Damn near disrespect to even compare them

Brilliance

I wish more rappers did this so bad

Hey Ya! wasn't even a hip hop song. It was just a killer song that crossed most genres.

This song was produced by Outkast. but let's just say that your comment was them talking to themselves.

@@dilanrajapaksha Kanye deadass the only rapper who consistently implements guitar riffs into his songs these days and his release schedule is chaotic as hell.

KABLAM ikr, I was just telling my daughter the same thing...rap/hip-hop was so much better when I was growing up

KABLAM because times have changed for all music...

Goodsong

KABLAM They have whittled OUTKAST down to....YOUNG THUG😭

RTJ

This is a pro comment.

It would be a 6 minute song for most singers. I dare someone to try to rap that fast. I know I can't

BuckMarley ikr

Love him periodt!

Honestly I couldn't get tired of this song either

Agreed. I wish I could turn back the hands of time 😭

They no doubt are. Cant see anyone arguing otherwise :)

or in general lol

Or announcing their reunion at the Superbowl with a performance following and album after

true

Dude that'd be so fucking awesome!

They just had a reunion in September in ATL. I have vids on my profile. Was off the chain

MDMA helps.

Me to lol :)

+Holidaykirk Just eat a big ass bowl of good spaghetti and then take a nap...This place will TAKE over your dreams trust me...😝

Me too man. pity LSD isn't permanent

HolidayKirk lololol

PERIOD POOH!!!!

Thug is a goat of the 2010s but Dre is the king of rap. But yeah Outkast is the reason the south is taken seriously

Exactly. Thug is influential, but nothing compared to andre

@@_pbmh_ Thug can’t reach André’s level. He doesn’t have anyone close to Big Boi by his side.

@@_pbmh_ Not even close to being legendary or anything memorable bout his music.

Best sketch on the show ever!!!

😂😂😂 that went over alot of people's head

Legendary Chappelle.

🤣🤣

Think Ima take orders from a African!?

😅

Definitely on my playlist for the gym!!🏃🏽‍♀️💨

I actually work out with this song many times I love it 🥰

You can go faster on the elliptical. 😁

No one has done it because the speed they would achieve would bend reality and create a singularity
