B.O.B (song)  "B.O.B" ("Bombs Over Baghdad") is a song by American rap duo Outkast from their fourth studio album "Stankonia" (2000). It was released as the album's lead single on September 19, 2000 through LaFace Records and Arista. Produced by Earthtone III, the song features a high-speed tempo beat consisting of drum and bass rhythms, guitars, organs, and gospel vocals. Although not a huge commercial success, the song has been cited as one of the greatest songs of all time by publications such as "Pitchfork", "Rolling Stone", "Blender" and "Complex". The song was featured in the video game Saints Row IV. Produced by Outkast and Mr. DJ under the name Earthtone III, "B.O.B" features "jittery drum'n'bass rhythms" and has been classified as a "stylistic tour de force" combining "Hendrix-ian" guitars, organs, and gospel vocals. On the track, André 3000 and Big Boi employ a "frantic" flow in order to keep pace with the song's high-speed tempo, which runs at 155 beats per minute. Big Boi said that they wanted to differ from current music: "Everybody's been doing music like they all have the same formula—e=mc2. They get a beat, an MC, somebody to sing the hook, and go platinum. Where's music going to go when everybody's trapped in this same repetitious flow?" In addition to the regular release, there is also a clean version available in the video game "Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX", which removed expletives such as "hell" and references to recreational drug use to allow the game to receive an "E for Everyone" rating. "B.O.B", peaked at number 69 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, 58 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and 61 on the UK Singles Chart. However, many urban Top 40 radio stations banned the single due to its title and the subject matter it was assumed to have. The single was named by several music publications as one of the best songs of the 2000s. "Rolling Stone" ranked it 21st on their "100 Best Songs of the 2000s list and 50th on their "The 50 Greatest Hip Hop Songs of All Time" list.
