according to Erykah Badu, the real Ms. Jackson (her mother) loved this song. Andre wrote this after they broke up when their son was 2. Erykah said she had trouble listening to it at first (especially Big Boi’s verse) but that she appreciated the honesty behind Andre’s words.

Oh hell naw ya'll don't want to start reacting to Outkast tracks. When you really listen to him... Andre from Outkast is one of the 10 greatest lyricists of all time... that's why Eminem said he's in his top 10.

Outkast one of the dopest groups ever, regardless of genre!

Yo, outcast first 3 albums might be the best trilogy of hip-hop a group ever done! Each one completely different sounding, genre breaking, and a has showing off growth. Atliens being the most groundbreaking as far as the sonics go...pure art. 💯

Guys. . . OutKast has *SIX GRAMMYS!* They have the greatest selling hip-hop album of all time. They produced a movie & the freakin’ *SOUNDTRACK* went *PLATINUM!* The other albums - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik: *Platinum* ATLiens: *Multi-platinum* Aquemini: *Multi-platinum* Stankonia: *Multi-platinum* Speakerboxx/Love Below: *DIAMOND+* . . .& Dre goes verse-for-verse, lyric-for-lyric with *any* in hip hop history. He typically doesn’t get the credit b/c he was in a group, but the boy is 🥶Ice Cold🥶

Outkast one of the best groups out there people always talk about Andre 3000 but big boi can spit just as much

Man, one of their best songs ever... So Fresh, and So Clean from OutKast, it's a banger

“Bombs over Bagdad” from Outkast is a must!

I'm 32. I'm a metal head. I love Outkast. And my 62 year old mother absolutely loves this song.

“Elevators” is still my favorite Outkast song ever!😍 Definitely worth a listen!

“ you can plan a pretty picnic but you can’t predict the weather 🧺 🌧 “ fucken Fire 🔥 that shit’s deep on so many levels .. something to live by 🙌🏻

Andre and BigBoi have a great story about how they met in a cypher in the lunch room in high school and the rest was history. Possibly the most influential rap group of all time. And still kind of slept on somehow.

ATliens is a must of you're exploring Outkast. One of my favorites when I was a kid and still love it.

I'm shocked that these guys and a lot of guys their age haven't heard a lot of songs I listened to and consider classics, it makes me wonder what type of music did their parents play around them

When you get home and your mom made some warm delicious soup .. you eat it and it hits the spot .. that’s how OutKast fills your soul wit music 🔥

We all know Dre's talent, but let's say that, Big Boi is criminally underrated. Super ill with it.

Highly recommend their first single "Player's Ball". They constantly develop their sound with each new album and it's a great journey as a listener.

This song is actually about Andre's relationship with Erykha Badu her mother absolutely loves the song and even has Ms. Jackson licence plates

Fellow Louisianans… watchin’ y’all react to all my favorite bands when I was younger… brings a smile to my face ✌🏼

So happy you are reacting to this. OutKast is one of my all time favorite groups period 🥰🥰🥰

Went to a Metalcore show a few weeks ago here in Atlanta, and during the interludes, the production crew was playing pop songs (nsync etc) and everyone was kinda like "...huh?" Then in one of the interludes they play Roses. EVERYONE sang along. No way you're gonna play Outkast in ATL and not have everyone singing it.

The cat, owl and dog are great in this video. I have played this over and over on the radio back in the day but it’s my first time seeing the video, for real.

OutKast is also apart of The Dungeon Family along with Goodie Mob. They were kind of like a dirty south Wu Tang, a good song to react to is "Watch for the hook" off Cool Breeze album.

Young Homies I am thoroughly enjoying this trip down the road of the OG Hip Hop Rap and all things incredible from the 90’s and then some. Thank you Fellas 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

So fresh so clean and The way you move two of my favorites!!!

Da Art of Storytelling pt 1 and 2 are both really great tracks I still listen to all the time. The whole album Aquemini was amazing!! (I might have spelled that wrong)

Y'all should hear Al Green sing unchained melody, it is really two white brothers song from the 60's that sung it heart felt. Al Green takes it to another level.

Yall should check out the video for International Players Anthem by UGK. It's a great song. With a great video featuring Outkast (though they worked on it completely independently). Also. I believe that sound you were asking about is a snare drum roll played in reverse.

Outkast is one the greatest duo’s of all time. Also Andre was really speaking about his actual baby mama’s mama on his verse

“Bombs Over Baghdad “ gotta listen to it!!!!

"B.O.B." unbelievable video

I've always loved their story telling poetry style, no one else like them. definitely goated

The house represents the relationship btwn man and woman ..The house is falling apart and no matter what they do to try and fix it , its just not working out ..Dope video/concept and 1 off my favorite groups of all time

Andre is in my top 5 all time, no question. Y'all should really go into their albums soon, some real classics. Damn near every single one.

Great authentic refreshing reactions and on a OutKast joint. Y'all are going to enjoy these tracks.

YES!!! Outcast is one if my favorite rap groups of all time! Definitely favorite from the South. Big Boi and Andre 3000 are the perfect complement to each other. They are like Ying and Yang. Andre is a slick cat! Please react to B.O.B (Bombs over Baghdad) They were going off in that track.

You all have the realest reactions, I love it! ETA: I would love to hear your reaction to Ghost Town by The Specials, Ride On Shooting Star by The Pillows, or Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste of Honey.

"You can make a beautiful picnic but you can't control the weather"... That's a great line.

When the video for this song came out on mtv for the first time i loved it and i listened to it over and over again, this is a masterpiece of undeniable outkast.

This album is one reason that 1996 is my favorite year so far.

"Da Art Of Storytellin' Pt. 2" Slaps

That's Big Boi, yes he was on "Def Jam Icon" the last installment of the series....You guys should watch the intro Video to "Def Jam Fight For NY" so you can truly see how amazing these games were especially since Snoop Dogg Played the ultimate most hateable bad guy in "DJFFNY"

Hahaha! You guys crack me up. I could be in a depressed mood then watch one of your reactions and I'm good. Great reaction guys

Andre is in my top 3 all time. He’s a genius with the pen

yall gotta listen to ATLiens💯

Do BOMBS OVER BAGHDAD by Outkast!!!

Fellas, I’m a new Sub. I can’t express the joy in my heart watching y’all trip off 3 Stacks and Big Boi. Trust me. Dig into their collection. Andre is a lyrical beast. Big Boi is that ni***a too. And I’m not even mentioning Features…

So fresh and so clean is another classic by outkast

You HAVE to do "Southernplayalidtikcadillacmusic" yes that's the real title. The album and title song. "Players ball", "Wheelz of steel", "Elevators"... the list goes on.

You guys got real reactions, you should definitely keep reacting to Outkast and I'd also like to recommend method man, da rockwilder is pure fire

I friggin love you guys! More Outkast please! And Greenday! ❤️

OutKast is needed today. Top duel in all around music ever.

I just found you guys like 2 days ago. I like your guys reactions vids. Keep up the great work. React to The Loop hole by Garfunkel and Oates. It's hilarious

I had never been into anything rap or hip hop until I heard these guys for the first time. I loved it, and bought the album. They seemed like a real band, were original, and didn't do any sampling. Legit , good music.

YES!!!! Go down this rabbit hole.

I listened to these guys all the time when I was a teen. "Jazzy Belle" is probably my favorite.

I freaking love Outkast. They are awesome. I love the song The Way You Move ft. Sleepy Brown. Freaking awesome. The gentleman in the Patriot's jersey is cute as heck. He is too young for me, but doesn't change the fact he's a good looking man. Sorry for the TMI.

Y'all should watch SpottieOttieDopalicious by Outkast. That song is fire.

I haven't laughed like this in a long time. Thank you

🙌🏻 been waiting on this. Gotta do “aquemini”, da art of story tellin” (do the one without slick Rick), “da art of story tellin part 2”, “gasoline dreams”, “southerplayalisticadalliacmuzik”… DONT do Hey Ya or Roses!

You have to check out the album ATLiens. Great cd

More and older outkast!!!!

The "anotha top fiiiiive" reminded me so much of Key & Peele's pizza skit when they like "anotherrr pieeeee" and their skits are mad funny if you aint seen any of them yet. The Substitute Teacher one is gold, the slave trade one, the "so I told my girl" skit too. These dudes are so funny.

i try to keep it cool when doggin modern hip hop but that is only because im almost 50 and know what it once was and if you keep diggin into the past maybe it will come back around again my friends. you are getting bigger as a channel which mean more influence and you generation could use a good dose of the pills we had to swallow, good and bad. love the vibe you guys put out, keep on keepin on.

Outkast is my second favorite rap group after Bone Thugs-N-Harmony...

Gotta do Aquemini by Outkast

Outkast put the south on the map when they came out in 94 that album was 🔥

Yall must really lived under a rock your whole lives or capping . It's like your first time listening to everything ever

yall MUST check out: *OUTKAST* FT *LIL WAYNE* & *SNOOP DOGG* - *HOLLYWOOD DIVORCE*

Just listen to Outkast- Southernplayalistic the full album. It's classic.

I believe that sound is a Highhat with reverb on it....possibly in reverse.....Andre did most of they production, but in the Basement yall spoke of is why the larger group was called Dungeon Family.....Do "Gangsta" Off Aquemini....its INCREDIBLE

I’m glad 3/5 here are still on this channel!

ya'll should do a super react to Outkast - Players Ball , Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and UGK ft Outkast - Int'l Players Anthem

Before you continue with Outkast, check out "Rabbit run" another sick track from the 8 mile album

It was like a party over there with this one👏🥃

It’s My Birthday!!!! Good video keep it up lmao

Now Outkast had some GOOD videos ...

Well this definitely isn’t no reaction channel anymore, dudes have heard like the past three songs we listen to. But whatever it’s all good

OutKast- Chonkyfire, Atliens, 2 Dope Boyz.. so many to choose from

The west/east coast beef was in full effect and Bless God the South rose with a whole other vibe!

Now react to B.O.B

This should be every man’s anthem how they get treated by crazy toxic women this song still Resonates till this day it was controversial when it first came out but it’s the truth 👏🏾

Oh Yes, getting into some good stuff now! "SO FRESH SO CLEAN" Next, please!!!!!!!!

I worked on Semi-Pro and he is the nicest guy. Very approachable and very good to his fans.

I like seeing you young boys vibing off of the 90's music.

I used to love this song in my teenage days 2000 ❤️❤️❤️

Hey scooter poots, that outcast guy looks like my Aunt Ringworm...I dig the flow from his hoot and nanny...keep it crazy Cynthia.

Oh dude in the red is rocking the hair. Love it. I don’t know why I’m imagining an electric blue strand or two up front would be sweet.

Yo boys. Lets get outkast fresh & so clean... Keep up the good shit

Hey you all, im 53 years old and i love that song i still listening to it very often, in 1990's there was great rap, hip hop Notorious BIG is the best KRS also. Great job love your reactions. Im Mitzy from Montréal Québec Canada

Love you boys... Y'all trip me out

i was 18-19 when this came out, fresh in the Army. 90s-early 00s was time to experience.

That's the thing with that era- every song that came out from one week to the next was in your top 5. This song came out in 2000 when it was slowing down. Imagine how crazy 1992 -1996 was.

Awe, yes. I see. We’ve arrived at OutKast. Enjoy.

At 9:05 you ask what is that sound .. it's a snare drum playing reversed .. so you get kind of a vacuum sound hehe. One of the reasons why i think Outkast is unique is because they never shy away from thinking outside the box when using styles, beats and sounds 🤘😎

Outkast is Atlanta roylaty! Them, Goodie Mob, and Dungeon Family put southern rap don't the map. They are the best rap group of all time. Nobody can touch Andre. He's your favorite rapper favorite rapper!

Outkast was popping in the mid 90’s. South got going thx to So So Def

OutKast was the soundtrack of high school! Legendary!

One of my all time favs

Damn Outcast was one of the first rap groups I listened to back when 15.
