Discover How Outkast’s "Elevators" Spread the Message of the South — Stream Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America Episode 4
"Hip hop is a territorial game," says Questlove in the latest episode of Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America. In the early 1990s, the genre was divided between the East Coast and West Coast.
The South wasn't even on the map.
But then OutKast burst onto the scene out of Atlanta with a shocking hit and told the world: "The South's got something to say."

Featuring Andre 3000 and Big Boi giving insight about their rise to fame, plus Rico Wade, Sleepy Brown, L.A.
