Erykah Badu Reveals How Her Family Really Felt About OutKast's "Ms. Jackson"

[True Blue Moon]

Dope thread turned WOAT

 

[lutha]

Was this shyt really common knowledge? Interesting I'm not young just never liked Outkast like that

yea, it was...cause 3000 and badu being a couple, having a child, then breaking up was well known...so when the song comes out and he talks about 'i'll be present at graduation and the first day of school', people knew he was talking about her and their child...

 

[Pool_Shark]

I remember MTV was trying to say this song was about Janet Jackson

 

[NoChillJones]

yep

He said her name in the song

 

[Robbie3000]

this thread embarrassing as hell..

and, folks thought Big Boi was talking about Badu.. makes it even worse..

What's wrong with these nikkas? Big Boi's verse is not about Badu.

 

[Higher Tech]

most of these nikkas was like 3 when that dropped

A lot of us just aint involved in rappers' personal lives. I was 18 when this came out and didn't know.

*looks at how many posters dapped this*



I refuse to believe this many people didn't know this.

Exactly. I was in second grade at the time and knew about this.

[Pazzy]

so we gonna ignore the fact that Big Boi's verse is the one that really went in on the subject?

who was he talking about?

His baby's mother at the time that is now his wife. he also talked about her on the roster which is ms Jackson part 2.

In my defense I was 6/7 when this song dropped.

I wasn't to keen on who was fukking who at that age. Only thing on my mind was Pokemon and quarter water.

 

[Rekkapryde]

lol @ takin the opinions of some cats seriously here in the Booth considering a lot of nikkaz age.

 

[ZEupTWN]

I bet the fact the song was a collosal hit that turned them into mainstream stars made it sting that much more

I still get mad nostalgia listening to it btw...

Such a timeless classic
