| 0:00.0 | Hey, One Song Nation, we're off this week, but we'd like to revisit one of our favorite early episodes of the pod, our episode on Miss Jackson by hip-hop legends, Outcast. |
| 0:08.2 | That's right, Zialo. This is the Grammy Award winning song that Rolling Stone placed at number 55 on their list of best songs of the 2000s. |
| 0:14.8 | Outcast isn't just from my hometown. We grew up in the same neighborhood. This one's very special to me. |
