Bombs Over Baghdad

Outkast's single B.O.B (Bombs Over Baghdad) was released in September 6, 2000 and was the first single from their album "Stankonia." The misleading title of this song leads many listeners to believe that Outkast is protesting against the United States' 2003 invasion in Iraq, which is impossible because the song was released three years prior. However, Outkast does reference the 1991 Gulf War and the song goes further to criticize the music industry and how people in the music industry go halfway through with things and fail to complete them.

Before you RE up, get a laptop
Make a business for yourself, boy, set some goals
Make a fat diamond out of dusty coals
Record number four, but we on the road

Big Boi's lines in the song show how Outkast wants the people to set goals and follow through with their ambitions rather than start and leave them incomplete.

The chorus states "Don't even bang unless you plan to hit something" showing how Outkast wants artists in the music industry to make something happen and follow through with it. According to Deena Weinstein, the problem with many protest songs is their misinterpretation by the public or the people. Similar to the theories of Weinstein, Outkast's song B.O.B is commonly misinterpreted and believed to be a song protesting President George W. Bush Jr.'s invasion of Iraq in 2003.
