I was strolling down memory lane recently and re-experienced the greatness that is Outkast's Bombs Over Baghdad.
This was an extremely weird song at the time and still today, in my opinion. It sounds like when Prodigy or The Chemical Brothers would cross over and try a rap track. The full version is five minutes (longish for a song like this) and starts getting almost experimental in the last part. Part of me wants to live in the alternate reality where Outkast made this their Tubular Bells and kept working on it until it was two hours long.
It bangs but not in a way I would expect. However, while they are clearly rapping, does this count as a rap song? To this day, I still don't know what the lyrics are even about if anything (too fast for my brain and I've never looked them up) and I think it falls more into jock jams like Whoomp There It Is and the like.
