I'll never forget the 106th and Park reaction to this video debut. Them like nikkas we're so confused. They weren't feeling it at all. Cause of that, I knew it would be a smash hit. They normally prefer garbage.

Yeah alot of people were like “huh. Not that it sucked but people didnt know how to digest it initially.

What lm saying is I never seen cacs move like they do when this song and usher's yeah r played on the dance floor. Some strange spell is casted on em when these two songs come on
shyt I hear Hey Ya more now that Yeah. They be playing a Jimmy Buffet song, He Ya, then a Beatles song or some shyt. Hey Ya is definitely a classic... it took me a minute to warm up to it but I love it now.

I've always truly hated this song. Seeing what Outkast started from, this song is cringey as fukk to me. Sorry. :yeshrug:

Cause folks are supposed to rap about the same shyt they did at 18 when they are 40 and a family man right? Folks evolve.

I did like their evolution up until that exact song. That song is clearly different from previous Outkast and the evolution of their sound. I loved everything before Speakerbox/Love Below. That song was trash to me. Just because it different doesn't mean it's better.

My pops was the same way. nikka a gangbanger and shyt, fukked with them heavy pre hey ya. When that shyt dropped he was like:scust: outkast is gay.
I'm far from a gangbanger, but Hey Ya sounds nothing like anything they did before that. It's a whole different genre.

Doesn't stop me from enjoying the music. all women loved yeah in the club. I got some great dances off that song and Hey Ya was just a happy go lucky song. Lifts you up and feels good... I'm not opposed to being happy.
But it wasn't tho'!!! :ooh: That's what makes this song a damn near masterpiece. :ohlawd: It's a tragedy track that lifts you up!:whew:
