Bombs Over Baghdad: Good Rap Meets Amazing Guitar Solo

I've been a fan of Outkast, mostly because they're great. "The Mighty O" was such a sick song and could have been a huge summer smash if "Soulja Boy" hadn't come out like two weeks afterwards. Hence my hatred for Soulja Boy.

Although I was too young to appreciate it at the time, when Bombs Over Baghdad came out on Stankonia in 2000, it was a monumental moment in history. The song is so fast and amazing, and yet it manages to add in some lighting-fast guitar work towards the end with some major wah. Those youtube SOBs wouldn't let me embed it, so here's the link. Go there. Now.
