OutKast Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

An OutKast quiz turns on one split, because their 2003 double album handed each member his own solo disc. Guess the OutKast song from the group records where both trade off, 'Ms. Jackson' and 'Rosa Parks', then test your trivia on the halves, where 'The Way You Move' and 'B.O.B.' are Big Boi's funk-rap and 'Hey Ya!', 'Roses' and 'So Fresh, So Clean' are André 3000 chasing pop and soul. See how well you really know OutKast, and which of the two Atlanta minds drives each Grammy-winning track.

OutKast Trivia: The Story Behind the Split

The facts behind OutKast decide the close rounds: a Grammy Album of the Year that is really two solo records, a chart-topping single with no rapping on it, and a solo flute album years later.

✦Their 2003 release Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is really two solo albums in one: Speakerboxxx is Big Boi's, The Love Below is André 3000's. It won the 2004 Grammy for Album of the Year and is certified Diamond.

✦'Hey Ya!' is an André 3000 solo recording with no verse from Big Boi, and it still topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 2003.

✦'The Way You Move', the album's other number one, is led by Big Boi with Sleepy Brown singing the hook, a common mix-up for players who assume every OutKast hit is a duo effort.

✦'Ms. Jackson', from 2000's Stankonia, reached number one and won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.

✦After OutKast, André 3000 released New Blue Sun in 2023, a flute-driven ambient album with no rapping, while Big Boi kept putting out rap records.

How Well Do You Know OutKast's Two Halves?

OutKast are two artists sharing one name. Start with the singles everyone shouts, then work out where André 3000 ends and Big Boi begins, and find out whether you know the duo or just the hits.

The crossover smashes (where casual fans score)

Start with the songs that need no introduction. 'Hey Ya!', 'Ms. Jackson', 'The Way You Move' and 'Roses' are the radio staples and number ones that even casual listeners name in a beat. These are the easy points, and the setup for the harder question of who is actually rapping.

André's side vs Big Boi's side (the split that trips people up)

This is the split that makes an OutKast quiz different. 'The Love Below' is André 3000's solo disc, full of singing and pop experiments; 'Speakerboxxx' is Big Boi's, all funk and rapid Southern rap. Learn to hear which member is driving a track and you separate yourself from players who only know the group name.

The genre-hop deep cuts (where superfans pull ahead)

OutKast rarely repeat a sound, and the album cuts prove it. 'B.O.B.' races past 150 beats per minute, 'Rosa Parks' breaks into a harmonica stomp, and 'SpottieOttieDopaliscious' drifts into spoken-word soul. Place these from a short clip and you are in superfan territory.

The come-up and the aftermath (the curveballs)

The curveballs sit at the edges of the catalog. Early cuts like 'Player's Ball' and 'Elevators' come from the Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and ATLiens years, while André 3000's 2023 flute album New Blue Sun has no rapping at all. A thorough OutKast quiz reaches for both ends.
