3.0 out of 5 stars quesionable content, December 31, 2003

By	Cynthia J. Green - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't Like Censorship, August 26, 2005

By	P. Cullens (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, April 14, 2007

By	Keith Irwin - See all my reviews

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.
