Editorial Review: Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 09/02/2009 Outkast - The Videos Reviews: Just plain fun - a few of the songs and video  2009-07-20 - 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.
Great collection!  2007-05-31 - If you like Outkast then get this ... all the hits and awesome videos that go along! It's great!
Very Disappointing  2007-04-14 - 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.
Just Can't Get It Right, Can We? (Rating: 5 out of 10- -2.5 stars)  2007-04-07 - 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!
Wow! What a bunch of crybabies!!!  2006-08-08 - Ohh Boo Hoo! Mommy, my teacher washed my mouth out with soap, cuz I said a naughty word! Cry me a river!!!
You know, back in my day, there was no swearing on Radio or TV. Before HBO and Satellite Radio, when it was common to see some TV's with only 3 or 4 channels in some people's homes. Now, some people actually miss cursing? How low class!
This is the best DVD I've listened to in a long time. And you know what? IT NEVER EVEN DAWNED ON ME TH AT THERE WAS MISSING CURSING! I NEVER EVEN MISSED IT! In fact reading these reviews is what brought it to my attention.
As a matter of fact, I bought one of their unedited CD's, a special mix CD from a Tower Records in San Francisco, and I didn't really like all the cursing. But, they're artists, and the way they wanted to present their art, so who can fault them?
However, when they present videos, etc. on television, they have to present them in a way that complies with FCC regulations, etc. SO QUIT YOUR WHINING! I for one can't ever recall ever seeing an unedited video on any medium. Who out there can tell me a high percentage of this form of medium?
This was an awesome DVD, and had many great and surprising Videos. I highly recommend it.
The only thing that was a bit strange, was that it was a DVD in a CD box? I didn't get that. Very unique. I think some folks might buy it, thinking it is a CD, but that's just my opinion!
Two BIG THUMBS WAY UP! Highly recommended!
