Hey Ya! defeats Still D.R.E.! (70% - 30%)

The Contenders:

"Hey Ya!" - Outkast


vs.

"Still D.R.E." - Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg


The Story:

We're kicking off "Duos Week" (kudos to Augie) with the blog's maiden voyage into the hip hop realm.

I think it's really great having a web page load with Charlie Brown hanging out right above a picture of Snoop glaring into your soul. I'd have loved to embed the original Outkast video, but the record company won't let me (fuck the man!), so I'll just have to link you to that one instead.

In this particular battle, I fully expect Dre and Snoop to clean up shop. But you have to give credit where credit is due.

Outkast put together a really original sound that brought pop and hip hop together like never before. It's catchy, it's interesting, it's unique. And it's got one-liners that will stick around for a long time.

To this day, I myself continue to shake it like Polaroid picture. I am glad to have been made aware of the fact that it is cooler than cool to be ice cold.

Both good songs; wouldn't be surprised to see this one go either way.

Vote on the right, please.
