Skykicking - Outkast - Bombs over Baghdad
by Decius at 1:49 am EST, Mar 27, 2003

] "Bombs Over Baghdad" sounds even more like
] self-contained, self-conscious artillery. The title
] promises internationalist fervour, but in fact seems to
] be just a clever metaphor for the repetitive vagueness of
] other hip hop artists - "don't pull the thang out unless
] you plan to bang... don't even bang unless you plan to
] hit somethang" - which is ...ironic... under the
] circumstances. But Outkast impart their message better
] than Dead Prez did on "Hip Hop", and with more reason to
] feel confident; the music is utterly blinding. What
] Outkast, or perhaps producer Earthtone III, seem to have
] realised is that much of the truly scary, fervent
] sounding music made during the nineties (hardcore techno
] and jungle being the relevant examples here) has been
] made in digitalised circumstances, without conventional
] ideas of meaning and feeling propelling them.

Or otherwise the song doesn't really mean anything...

However, I really like it anyway. I think I might buy this CD...
