OutKast - The Way You Move

Review by Margaretha Dollzhard Angela Courtney

The Way You Move by OutKast: A Genre-Bending Banger That Still Slaps in 2023 OutKast’s The Way You Move isn’t just a track—it’s an experience. Released back in 2003, this album didn’t just drop; it exploded across Europe, the US, Australia, and the UK like a firecracker on steroids. With its wild mix of Electronic vibes, Hip Hop grit, Dirty South swagger, and Jazzy undertones, it was clear from the jump that Big Boi and crew weren’t here to play games. This ain’t your grandma’s playlist—unless she’s got serious taste. Let’s talk tracks for a sec. First up is “The Way You Move (Album Version)”, which hits like a freight train wrapped in silk sheets. Big Boi’s flow? Razor-sharp. Sleepy Brown’s vocals? Smooth as butter melting on hot biscuits. You can feel every ounce of sweat they put into crafting this beast. The bassline alone could knock over a wall, but it’s not all brute force—the horn section sneaks in with just enough jazzy flair to keep things classy without losing the edge. It’s one of those songs where you don’t know whether to nod your head or grab someone and start dancing. So you do both. Then there’s “The Way You Move (Johnny Too Bad Full Length Vocal Mix)”, and holy hell, does this version slap harder than a pissed-off stepdad. The remix flips the original into something darker, deeper, almost sinister. It’s like walking through a smoky club at 2 AM while the DJ spins magic outta thin air. Every beat feels intentional, every vocal layer adds another dimension. If the album version is the life of the party, this remix is the afterparty no one saw coming. And Johnny Toobad? Mad props for turning what could’ve been basic into straight-up genius. Now let’s get real for a minute. What makes The Way You Move stand out isn’t just how many styles it crams into one record—it’s how seamless it feels. Breakbeats? Check. House grooves? Yep. Southern Rap heat? Absolutely. But none of these genres ever fight each other. They coexist like old friends sharing a blunt, passing the mic back and forth until the vibe is perfect. Credit goes to Big Boi as co-producer and Carl Mo behind the boards—they knew exactly when to hold back and when to let loose. But here’s the kicker: even though this album dropped two decades ago, it still bangs like it came out yesterday. How? Beats me. Maybe it’s because music this raw doesn’t age. Or maybe it’s because OutKast had some kinda crystal ball showing them what future bangers would sound like. Either way, listening to this now feels like rediscovering a hidden treasure chest full of gold bars. Final thought? Screw genre labels—they’re just boxes people use to make sense of chaos. OutKast didn’t care about boxes. They built their own damn spaceship and flew off into uncharted territory. And honestly, I’m glad they did. Because if they hadn’t, we wouldn’t have gems like The Way You Move. Oh, and one last thing—don’t sleep on the instrumentals. Those babies slap too. Peace.

Notes

  • Promo only. Not for sale.
  • This white label appears to be a bootleg breakbeat version of Outkast's "The Way You Move".
  • Side A (single track, 45RPM) contains the vocal acapella of 'The Way You Move' with the chorus repeated throughout, behind a great midtempo 808/breakbeat loop with mellow guitar acompaniment (I assume this is an instrumental from something else in mashup style).
  • Side B (two tracks, RPM) B1 is the instrumental version of A1. B2 is an entirely different track, uptempo break-and-clap (similar-ish to "Hey-Ya" with two vocal samples repeating throughout - "Go Real Slow" and "We Want Y'all To Get Down".
  • The etchings only reveal WH-001 which did not return any matches in Discogs.
  • The only other etching is on side B and says 'neil - masterpiece' which I assume means it was mastered by "neil" at UK's Masterpiece studio, but searching the masterpiece releases also returned no match to anything even close on this record.
  • So for now, it remains a mystery. Hopefully someone out there can demystify it!
  • Remix of OutKast - The Way You Move.
  • Many parts of the original song are kept in this remix, the original voices of Big-Boi, Andree 3000 & Sleepy Brown, also some melodies.
  • Released in plastic sleeve with printed insert

[Big Boi:]
Ready for action, nip it in the bud
We never relaxing, OutKast is everlasting
Not clashing, not at all
But see, my nigga went to do a little acting
Now, that's for anyone asking, give me one pass 'em
Drip-drip-drop, there goes an eargasm
Now you cumming out the side of your face
We tapping right into your memory banks—thanks!
So click it or ticket, let's see your seat belt fastened
Trunk rattling, like two midgets in the backseat 'rassling
Speakerboxxx vibrate the tag
Make it sound like aluminum cans in the bag
But I know y'all wanted that 808
Can you feel that B-A-S-S bass?
But I know y'all wanted that 808
Can you feel that B-A-S-S bass? [Sleepy Brown:]
I like the way you move
I like the way you move, wooo
I love the way you move
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you move
I love the way you move, wooo
I love the way you move
I love the way, I love the way. [Big Boi:]
The whole room fell silent, the girls all paused with glee
Turning left, turning right, are they looking at me?
Well I was looking at them, there there on the dancefloor
Now they got me in the middle, feeling like a manwhore
Especially the big girl
Big girls need love too, no discrimination here, squirrel
So keep your hands off my cheeks
Let me study how you ride the beat, you big freak
Skinny-slim women got the cameltoe within them
You can hump them, lift them, bend them
Give them something to remember
Yell out "Timber!" when you fall through the chop shop
Take a deep breath and exhale
Your ex-male friend/boyfriend's boring as hell
But let me listen to the story you tell
And we can make moves like a person in jail
On the low, ho. [Sleepy Brown:]
I like the way you move
I like the way you move, wooo
I love the way you move
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you move
I love the way you move, wooo
I love the way you move
I love the way, I love the way

Hey, baby, girl, don't you stop it
Come on, lady, dance all around me
(Look so fine) You look so fine (Look so fine)
You driving me out of my, out of my mind
Out my mind, ooooh, baby
If I could, I would just be with you, baby
Oooh, 'cause you light me, and excite me
And you know, you got me baby, woo!

I like the way you move (I like the way you move)
I like the way you move (Ooh, you're so sexy baby), wooo
I love the way you move
I love the way, I love the way (Ooh, baby)
I love the way you move (I love the way you move)
I love the way you move (Ooh, you're so sexy baby), wooo
I love the way you move
I love the way, I love the way
I like the way you move
I like the way you move, wooo
I love the way you move
I love the way, I love the way

outkast was the first rap CD i begged my parents to bring me to circuit city so i could use my small allowance to buy it. this song was on speakerboxxx/the love below (the one i got) and i fell in love with it immediately, and roses as well. lmao, my parents wanted to hear the CD too so they put it in the CD player in our van on the way home & it was a cringe awkward experience to say the least. ahaha but still here listening in 2020
