About This Episode

Rewind & React heads down to the Atlanta for a deep dive into Outkast’s game-changing music videos!

Adam and Rob break down six of their most visually stunning and unforgettable videos, from the funky roller rink of Rosa Parks to the surreal circus world of The Whole World.

Here’s what we’re covering:

  • Rosa Parks – A split-vision masterpiece, blending roller-skating rinks and street parades into an Atlanta culture time capsule.

  • B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad) – A chaotic explosion of neon colors, rapid-fire cuts, and the ultimate test of lyrical speed.

  • Ms. Jackson – A heartfelt yet visually whimsical journey through heartbreak, complete with thunderstorms, crumbling houses, and adorable animals.

  • The Whole World – Andre 3000 and Big Boi take center stage in a dazzling vaudeville circus, featuring Killer Mike, acrobats, and burlesque dancers.

  • GhettoMusick – Big Boi delivers packages (and chaos) in a hyper-stylized cityscape while dodging jealous husbands and joining a sorority step team.

  • Hey Ya! – A retro TV performance turned iconic pop culture moment, with Andre 3000 playing every band member in a high-energy, green-suited frenzy.

From Andre 3000’s increasingly wild fashion to Outkast’s undeniable influence on hip-hop and pop culture, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes stories, hilarious takes, and deep dives into their signature visuals.
