Outkast
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Outkast (sometimes written as OutKast) was an influential hip hop duo consisting of rappers André 3000 and Big Boi, active from the early 90s through the mid-00s.
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, the members of Outkast are prominent figures in southern hip hop; as The Brothers Chaps are also from the Atlanta area, this may have contributed to their enjoyment of the group. In a 2003 interview, Mike Chapman listed the group as among his favorite musicians.
[edit] Appearances
- Email spring cleaning — At the end, Strong Bad speaks in lyrics from the band's song "So Fresh, So Clean": "I feel so fresh and so clean, clean..." followed by another lyric: "Ain't nobody dope as me!"
- Email autobiography — Excerpts of several reviews of Words I Probably Said simply state "Hootie Hoo!", a repeated line from the song of the same name on Outkast's debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.
- Halloween Fairstival — At the end, Coach Z misinterprets Pom Pom's Big Boy costume as Big Boi, remarking that he was considering going as André 3000.
- The House That Gave Sucky Tricks — Over a decade later, Coach Z finally dresses as André 3000 as seen in the music video for "Hey Ya!".
- In the video, André 3000 plays all eight members of the fictional band The Love Below: keyboardist Benjamin André, bassist Possum Aloysius Jenkins, vocalist André "Ice Cold" 3000, drummer Dookie Blossom Gain III, three backing vocalists the Love Haters, and guitarist Johnny Vulture.
- This is represented by Coach Z appearing in different outfits throughout the toon, culminating in him cycling between costumes for all the group members (excepting Vulture) while repeating the song's iconic "all right" bridge.
