We recently purchased the DVD along with the CD. The CD carries a parental advisory, and the songs are there in full uncut form. Despite the fact that there is nothing on the DVD mentioning that it had been modified, words are edited out of the songs. They play on the DVD as they do on televised music videos. When I purchase a DVD I expect the videos to be uncut, or to at least have some notation if they have been edited for language. The DVD may be worth the purchase as it is, but I feel artista should be honest with consumers about what they're getting.

Disappointed that the disc is edited. Not just the lyrics, but some of the visuals on B.O.B. as well.

Don't waste your money on the dvd. When I saw this, I thought all the videos were going to be on it. BUT IT'S NOT!!! They got two versions of Hey Ya, The Way You Move, ATLiens, SPCM, B.O.B., and only a few others. No signs of Rosa Parks, Art of Storytellin', Benz or Beamer....none of that. Save your money and don't buy it. Maybe next time, they cram ALL they're videos on it.

I hate censorship just as much as the next person, but personally don't care about the music videos lyrics being censored. If I wanted to hear the uncensored versions of the songs, I would just listen to the CD.

What I a dissapointed with this DVD is that there are a lot of music videos that aren't on here. Being a fan and growing up listening to Outkast, I bought this DVD hoping to see all of their music videos (I should have looked on the back cover). This DVD does give somewhat of an overview of the music videos (mainly their most popular that were shown). But what isn't on here are "Rosa Parks", "Jazzy Belle (remix)", "Skew It On The Bar B" and the list goes on. That to me was a very big dissapointment.

Also we have "Hey Ya!" and "The Way You Move" on here TWICE. There are two seprate videos, and we have them together in one long music video. I just don't understand that at all.

This DVD does showcase the music videos by Outkast, but some are not on this list, which I wasn't too happy about. This does have videos that everyone liked such as "B.O.B.", "Ms. Jackson", "Players Ball", "ATLiens". So casual fans of Outkast will like this. Me being a big fan of their music, this was a very big dissapointment. Buy this DVD, if you're into their most later hit songs, and want to check out how they were back in the day. Peace!

When I bought this item in a store, I looked over the list of videos on it, and saw that they ranged from "Player's Ball" (their first video) through "Hey Ya!" I figured that all the videos in that time period were on it. Unfortunately, of the 18 videos they did between and including "Player's Ball" and "Hey Ya!", only 10 are included. A better title for this DVD might be "Outkast: Some of the Videos"

The most notable ones missing, in my opinion are "Rosa Parks" and "In Due Time" which are two of my three favorite OutKast videos. However, OutKast also did videos for "Benz or Beamer", "Jazzy Belle", "The Art of Story Tellin'", "Git Up, Git Out", "Skew it on the Bar-B", and "Land of a Million Drums", none of which are included. Many of these videos have guest stars or are for songs from motion picture soundtracks. Perhaps the label did not want to deal with legal complexities. Whatever the reason, the omission is a huge downside to this collection.

On top of that, many of the videos which do appear have their lyrics censored. They took the time to make 5.1 Dolby mixes of the songs, but not the time to find uncensored versions of the songs. Also, several of the videos are widescreen, but they are not presented in anamorphic widescreen, but rather in letterboxed fullscreen. That is to say, if you have a widescreen television or computer screen and watch this DVD, many of the videos will be surrounded by a black box on four sides. Or, alternately put, this DVD contains lower resolution versions of the widescreen videos than it could have.

The videos which are present are good videos, but the presentation of them is very poor. Also, there is very little in the way of extras. The long video which has both "The Way You Move" and "Hey Ya" in it is interesting, but that's the only thing that you probably haven't seen already. This DVD contains no commentary and no making-of specials. There are the videos and a picture gallery, and that's all.

If you just must have the ten videos which are on there despite the kid-friendly audio tracks and the letterboxing, then go for it, but otherwise, I'd advise waiting for the record label to release a complete video collection with some worthwhile extras.

Hey Dog,
For real this is a good collection of Outkast's best but still mad 'bout a couple vid's not shown. Come on guys, WHERE IS "THE ART OF STORY TELLIN'" FEAT. SLICK RICK!!! <(that's a classic) It's already bammer enough that it's STILL edited.

Outkast is the most creative and innovative group in current music. I salute their daring. With this collection one can really see the evolution over the years. They manage to successfully change while retaining their unique style. They've transcended being labeled as mere rappers. I look forward to seeing where the future takes them and I hope to see more of the rest of the Dungeon family as well.

Great video package but I feel very forgotten and let down by Outkast for allowing the lyrics to be removed for the very young fans. If there were a choice in explicit content then I would feel Better and not Bitter.

track listings: player's ball, southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, elevators/me & you, atliens, b.o.b., ms. jackson, so fresh-so clean, the whole world, the way you move (long version), hey ya! (long version), the way you move (single version), & hey ya! (single version).

I bought this for a friend just because she said "I like that song", when she heard one of the cuts on the radio. Some (Hey Ya, etc) of these are simply GREAT (fun/happy sound) to play on a good stereo system, with the video showing on the TV. Would absolutely buy again.
