20 years later and this song still bangs. For real, OutKast still some of the best to ever do the damn thing.
That beat sounds like it came from outer space. A masterpiece.
FACTS indeed my friend we the aliens they the ones trapped here with us lol
I'm 90 percent sure I've seen u before in vagabond comments
Or a ghostface song comments
@@damnnegroye8908 probably lol
Absolutely! I wish the channel put more of this type of content out so I learn more of the behind the scenes stuff about my favorite music duo of all time!
Don't pull the thang out, unless you plan to BAAAAAANG
ill Gill Bates you like it hard
Bombs Over Baghdad!
Outkast = historical icons
B.O.B. was to the Iraq War what Fortunate Son was to the Vietnam War
damn..
I was just listening to this song a few days ago and it still sounds as fresh as ever. I can't believe we've had this song for 20 years already!
Outkast One Best Hip-Hop Group In History Big Boi & Andre 3000 Iconic Artists 😁😁😁 😄😄😄 🤴🤴🤴
Best duo wu tang is best group
The best duo ever
I LOVE OUTKAST AS MY FAVORITE HIP HOP DUO BACK IN THE DAYS!♥️♥️♥️
song still sounds amazing till this day. amazing hip hop song.
The South got some to say! Boy stop! Remember the barn...
Great song, but this video didn't really explain how it became an anti-war anthem or why Outkast used "bombs over bhagdad" as a hook?
*Did not explain a damn thing.*
I recall there was an incident where Bill Clinton was threatening to bomb Iraq, but stood down at the last minute when they agreed to change behavior. (I believe something similar happened with Obama and Syria.)
“Don’t pull your thang out unless you plan to bang” is a sexual metaphor which mocks the idea of demonstrating expensive missile systems all over CNN without actually shooting anything. I don’t really hear that as “anti-war.” 🤷🏿♀️
@@crnkmnky yeah I don't get it either??
in an interview one of em state they chose "bombs over baghdad" simply because they heard it on TV and thought it had a catch to it

@@OfficialMNIB It was my pleasure! I've watched only a few and dropped some thumbs up, I'll watch more of them tomorrow, it's past 3 am here in Québec 😅
Bruh! People in Atlanta already know... This is why I call stankonia their best album ever! A southern version of public enemy sort a speak🤔 or Tribe Called Quest... But I hate when it takes someone who's not affiliated with ATL, to give us their interpretation of Atlanta...jat
It's not that serious boo!
This is great, hoping for more Stankonia content
I have ATLiens as an album since 20 years or so. Still listen to it from time to time.
I miss you guys making music or a new album. Greetings from germany.
Stay healthy all!
I always wondered how the song predicted the war
Let’s not kid ourselves, every single artist that goes nation wide is scripted with higher ups..
@@lettersandnumbersuc illuminati puppets
@@jaygillat4361 fake woke
There literally was a war in Iraq before the 2003 one
@@jaygillat4361 it's 2021 we still talking bout Illuminati 😂
Honestly I think the two most anti war songs of the 2000s was this Outcast B.O.B and in 2005 System of a Down B.Y.O.B and even now these two songs still hold value
I appreciate you doing this explanation of such an iconic, impactful song of my generation. I learned a lot!
OUTKAST FOREVER
Oh yeah yeah
@@orls9068 oh shut up shut up
@@orls9068 hes cancelled bro is a disgusting person
@@orls9068 what's wrong with you?
@@orls9068 .
this was dope asl
Fan for 25 years
Thank You
They LITERALLY changed the world
I was in college, as a freshman when it came out. This song WAS THE SHIT. Still is. All my military buddies loved it too.
...And we're STILL in Baghdad...
the bpm is way faster than 135
"breakneck 135 bpm" lol that was funny
Dude hasn't listened to raining blood yet 😄
This vedio tho is greatly made hands down i can feel it so good
Hey ya! Is one of my favorite
visuals so cool
Greatness!!!!!!!!!!!
Gracias
20 years? I feel so old!
Comprei esse álbum original quando lançou na Galeria do Rock, tenho até hoje, a capa tá toda amarelada kkk, a arte estampada no CD é TOP, essa não amarelou não, tá intacta kkkk
HEYYYY YAAAA
Hey ya!
Rosa Parks I love the best
Bob, says hi!!!
🙏🙏👌👍 great duo
🇧🇷❤️
I love y’all
It’s 154 BPM
Ppl who still listening to them:👑
I was there, I remember thinking it was a wierd but cool track when it dropped.. next minute.. 😬
@1:09 “all at a breakneck 135 bpm” 🤣 That’s cute. Did the script writer just make that number up?? lol
Ok, two things:
1.) 135 bpm is not “breakneck” speed.
2.) B.O.B. is 154 bpm.
❤
When new music????
So glad I knew all of this 20 years ago, when the song was released. They said all of this in magazines and interviews. This video must be for the fans that just listen to "Hey Ya" and 2000's babies.
Weird flex but OK 🤣
@@orls9068 You damn right I'ma "flex" about being an Outkast fan since 1994. You must be a 2000s baby. Stfu talking to me.
@@mstaz1688 “stfu?” wtf is yo old ass mad about on an *OutKast* video? 😂
P.S. I’m just messing with you, I’ve been down since _Aquemini._
@@mstaz1688 Lmao, sending you a medal in the mail, well done 😂
@@crnkmnky I am PROUD to be my age. There's nothing wrong with getting older. You better HOPE you get old one day, with your dumb ass.
Thing is, this explains the chorus. But I have no idea how the verses have anything to do with any war at all.. lol
1:44 you mean 2001?
And where are they now???? .......Exactly
This is facts right here
Starseeds 💕
This is good
Ahhhh I get it
Theres even rapper named after the goddamm song
Damn, you even used the chocolate chip camo for the first gulf war, not many people know this, but that camo was used only for the first gulf war, after that they went to the DCU. Which is the chocolate chip camo, without the white accents and black on it. My dad was in the gulf, and I was in OIF-09, by the time I got there we were in digital camo, which sucked ass. Lmao.
I hurt the first song when I was 3 years old man 🤣
Yes I like to reliter it sr and is a super good to be a one
....um didn't Clinton actually put BOB too?
Anyways here’s a recipe for brownies:
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoon vanilla
Put your oven at 325 and cook 30m
There’s no flour?
You didn’t add weed to make it edibles

Mighty O
Pocoloco
Halloween
Can't outlast the war!
This explained nothing, I want my 2:39 minutes back
there weren't any WMD's in Iraq.
Im sorry Miss Jackson. [OOOHH]
I am for real! Never meant to make your daughter cry.
It was NOT prophetic. Maybe you’re too young to know there was a war with Iraq in 89.
You are now a stand user
Your guys views are going down :(
:D
you dont hear me because you dance
Shuba shuba?
Okay, goodbye...
When you find out
The group is one person.
im sorry miss jackson
“You can’t stop a Train” , “Coming strait from Florida” Sound formula?? Outcast is from Savanah... So who was coming from florida... :-)
OutKast is not from Savannah, Andre 3000 is from Atlanta and Big Boi is from Savannah
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Check what Google thinks the correct lyrics are…
Not
BOB stands fo
boring on belief 😴👎🏼
:(
You’re a white boy
They are prophetic. They predicted the Iraq war and the weapons of mass destruction
There was no weapon of mass destruction in Iraq, that was a lies it’s in Iran! That war was about oil!!!
Is this guy white? I had a greater respect for this song before he spoke. I'm a veteran 97-2002 , last name "blackmouth" ; highest thc test they seen in Hawaii because if I pull my Thang out...hire a better narrator and writer Outkast or I know you can't bang. I'm a try to think well of you again.
