An unprecedented collision of genres, 'B.O.B (Bombs Over Baghdad)' operates at a frenetic 155 BPM drum-and-bass tempo completely unheard of in mainstream hip-hop. Produced by Earthtone III, the track layers gospel choirs, frantic acoustic guitar strumming, and a Jimi Hendrix-inspired guitar solo beneath Andre 3000 and Big Boi's rapid-fire sociopolitical verses. It served as a radical, hyperactive mission statement for the 'Stankonia' album.
