Outkast's biggest hit since “Elevators (Me & You)”, “Ms. Jackson” catapulted the southern rap duo into the mainstream. Based on Andre 3000's real-life struggle with Erykah Badu and her mother over his and Badu's child, “Ms. Jackson” became Outkast's only song to top the Billboard 100 (until the behemoth of “Hey Ya!” was created) Propose an edit Upvote+2Downvote PYONG!
