[2000-2004 Best Songs]
Billboard Top 100, 2001, #25
In 2001, Big Boi and Andre 3000, aka Outkast, had the super-massive hit Hey-Ya! It was catchy, mainstream Pop that you couldn't escape on any radio station anywhere in America. A fun song which belied their true talent as a couple of the best rappers of their time.
This is why you need to know about Ms. Jackson. This isn't any "old-school" Hip-hop. The lyrics are clever, funny, poignant. The pace is frenetic, the beat is off-kilter, the chorus is bluesy. It's sophisticated, thoughtful music. The song really needs five or six listens before you can fully appreciate it.
Side note: I love this video.
