Subject: OutKast Sampled The Way You Move
In reply to: Allnall 's message, "For those of you who may not know, OUTKAST is out with a neew single called "The Way You Move". I saw a video on MTV and this song sounds sooo much like EWF, down to the horns and vocals. Sounds like they were definitely looking to show of the EWF influence on this tune. Check it out if you can.....http://www.nj.com/entertainment/ledger/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-1/1064123668277820.xml" on 12:04:25 09/22/03 Mon

I been trying to figue out what song Outkast jacked The Way You Move From. Everytime I ask people who was the original artist they look at me like I'm crazy. But I know it's old because I remember it.
Outkast doesn't even list the original artist in the back of the CD, which sucks beacuse they should give credit to the original writer of The Way You Move.

        The way You Move- It just sounds so much like EWF that you really think that it had to have been borrowed from a old EWF song...melody-wise etc....I just don't think so....but any which way...Outkast shows good taste....and I think the fact that on the grammys they had EWF singing the back-up to the song tells you all you need to know (NT) -- Allnall, 16:54:30 09/21/04 Tue
        Allnall, The Way U Move is such a great song and it would have been greater had they had EWF singing on it. That song would have probably been a bigger hit than what it was. (NT) -- Sirius, 17:40:54 09/21/04 Tue
        I wonder which way would be the better billing......."Earth Wind and Fire featuring Outkast" or "Outkast featuring Earth Wind and Fire"....LOL (NT) -- Allnall, 08:47:23 09/22/04 Wed
        I don't think it would matter because anything EWF is involved with is stupendous!!!! The song would have given EWF the opportunity to reach out to the younger generation and it would have made them more present in today's world of music. It would be great if the new album does blend music for all generations to groove to. (NT) -- Sirius, 11:14:46 09/22/04 Wed
        True....the song is so unmistakenly a tribute to EWF in style, horns and vocals that it would have served admirably as a "lonk" for the younger generation to understand and know the influence of EWF. Anyway, they are reportedly working with Sleepy Brown and Big Boi on the new album so there may be another "The Way You Move" to hit us!!!!!! (NT) -- Allnall, 13:06:05 09/22/04 Wed
        That should say "link" not lonk...LOLOL (NT) -- Allnall, 13:07:06 09/22/04 Wed
