Runner-Up-Outkast "The Way You Move"

Yeah I love this song. I like everything from the synth opening to the Kool and Gang style horns. I like the soulful chorus and the rapping verse equally. I remember thinking at the time that this was a better song than "Hey Ya" and yet that was sooooo huge. It's just smooth, cool, easy hip hop.
I actually thought for sure this was a JM3 entry when I saw the submission.
Bonus: Big Boi is an unabashed Kate Bush fan, as am I. He has a funny video on Pitchfork where he talks about how cool she is and how much he listened to her as a teen.
HOF Worthiness: 5 points Unanimously a lock to get in.
Song Ranking: 9.5 points Fun, smooth, well produced and just super cool. Great song
Genre Fit: 1.5 Points Could have been a 2 but I don't listen to a TON of hip hop so 1.5 seems right
Bonus Point: 0 Points Nah this was a big song...and for good reason.
Total Points: 16 Points
