Songfacts®:

• Ludacris has a message to his haters on this track, and it's not subtle: "Blow it out ya ass!"
  
  The track is part of his third album, Chicken-N-Beer, released in 2003 when he was everywhere, not just with his own songs but also with a slew of features, including "Holidae In" with Chingy and Snoop Dogg, and "B R Right" with Trina.
  
  Luda only got bigger: The album went to #1, as did his next two. He also jumped on the biggest hit of 2004: "Yeah!" by Usher.
• "Blow It Out" was the fifth and final single from the Chicken-N-Beer album. It got a music video that combines it with part of his song "Southern Fried Intro," which precedes it on the album. Unlike the colorful, elaborate videos Ludacris was known for, this one is simple and desaturated, showing Luda performing the song on a city street.
• This song was produced and co-written by Ron Browz, who later worked on the Jim Jones track "Pop Champagne."
• Ludacris' main enemy at this time wasn't another rapper, but Bill O'Reilly, the host of a show on Fox called The O'Reilly Factor. O'Reilly had beef with Luda's lyrics, which he thought were causing grievous harm to the impressionable youth of America. O'Reilly led a campaign to get Pepsi, which hired Ludacris as a pitchman, to drop him, and they did. In this verse, Ludacris takes aim at O'Reilly and also at Pepsi, whose classic slogan was "The Choice of a New Generation":
  
  Shout out to Bill O'Reilly, I'ma throw you a curve
  You mad cause I'm a thief and got a way with words
  I'ma start my own beverage, it'll calm your nerves
  Pepsi's the New Generation, blow it out ya ass!
