Not by the video channels. I see "The Way You Move" way more than "Hey Ya".

I actually see why this song is being overlooked. The song is alright, but it's not the best one on Speakerboxxx. He should've stuck with the original plan and released "Ghetto Musick."

Ghetto Musick is intense/great ala B.O.B. but The Way seems more accessible

I'm assuming that one of the singles had to be a bit more laid-back if the other was going to be upbeat. The orginal plan was going to be "Ghetto Musick"/"She Lives In My Lap," but they changed it last minute because the latter coincides with their up-coming movie and Dre didn't want the fans to be like "WTF is this?!" I would've liked for Big Boi to release one of his more laid-back tracks like "Reset" as the first single-kinda like when they released "Elevators" as their first single from ATLiens (check the avatar! LOL! wink)

The Way You Move bored me pretty quickly. It's too standard and normal, doesn't have the quirks that I have come to expect from even Outkast/Big Boi.

It's just okay. But there are enough potential singles on Speakerboxxx to keep him goin toe to toe with Dre for a while.

The video for this track is pretty ordinary, in my opinion, but the track itself is great!! That bass line is kinda hot, though I've always thought funky-ass Bowtie would've been a great first single. Hopefully, it'll replace Ghettomusick as the second from his side. Church is pretty hot too (especially towards the end), and you definitely hear a lot of Prince drum patterns and sounds all throughout his album (hearing it on Dre's side is a given), and right now, I'm diggin' both sides almost equally. Though, I do find myself listening to TLB a tad bit more often, obviously. Either way, it's the best $11 I've spent in a long ass time. Time to go back the scene of the crime (Best Buy) and get the new Scarface today, too! smile
