She's ABSOLUTELY right to sue. Read the lyrics and you'll see why she probably got insulted, not only calling women ho's but saying the word nigger. You think Rosa Parks wasn't called that a time or two when boarding that bus?

Being insulted is not a good enough reason to sue. I've lost a great deal of respect for her if this is, indeed, true.

And where was she, in the early 90s, when gangsta rappers were selling records about killing cops?

Maybe she's just pissed that she wasn't asked to be one of the front row girls with a Polaroid camera in that "Hey Ya" video? ;)

You're right. I think if one becomes a public figure, better be prepared to hear things you may not like.

Can't lie that was a good video too...

Outkast is one of the few hip hop acts that demonstrates real TALENT, as opposed to thuggish rhyming over stolen beats.

For those who've heard Andre's progression from "Get Up, Get Out"(a positive song) to "Hey Ya" I'd definitely have to say there's talent there. I don't know how much they had to do with production, but I assume they had some input and their songs have always sounded unique and distinct from the main body of hip hop.

Of course, our resident hip hop haters will look at the lyrics to the silly "Rosa Parks," which was never intended to mean anything of significance, and say "ugh, this is garbage." I guess we should get more songs about LSD use like the 60s/70s--then it'll be real music.
