It's saying outkast is back so other rappers step back, only saying back of the bus to make one connection to Rosa parks, although they probably wrote the lyric first because it's a well known saying and it fit in the rhyme scheme, then decided to call it Rosa parks because of that one reference. If the only thing Rosa Parks did was refused to give up her seat. She did that as part of a broader effort, of which she had been a part since childhood (her father was a civil rights activist, and in the early years of the movement she was involved with investigating sexual assault and rape of women of color, leading organizing efforts, among other things). After SCOTUS revived the case after repeated failures, Parks' lawyers argued basically that the song was vulgar and didn't give any biographical info about Parks to be worth being named after her, because it was just a party song that had a line about the back of the bus. Parks v. LaFace Records, 329 F.3d 437 (6th Cir. 2003), was a lawsuit filed by attorney Gregory J Reed in March 1999 on Rosa Parks' behalf against American hip-hop duo Outkast and LaFace Records, claiming that the group had illegally used Parks' name without her permission for the song "Rosa Parks", the most successful radio single of Outkast's 1998 album Aquemini. Back in 1998, Outkast dropped their now-classic album "Aquemini." There's one song that stands out in particular: "Rosa Parks," which quickly became a favorite among Outkast's listeners. It's worth noting that despite the song bearing the same name as the historical icon, it mainly focuses on the notion of becoming less popular in the rap game. A few months later, Rosa Parks died on October 24, 2005, at 92. “It was kind of weird, because I think Rosa Parks was misled,” said OutKast engineer Neal H. Pogue, to Creative Loafing, in 2010 In the late 1990s, Outkast released their single “Rosa Parks,” named after the civil rights activist. It was one of the best singles off of their album, Aquemini . However, the rap duo’s Parks, 92, had claimed that the song “Rosa Parks” on a 1998 OutKast album amounted to false advertising under U.S. trademark law and intruded on her rights. "Rosa Parks" is widely considered one of Outkast's best songs. In 2020, The Ringer ranked the song number eight on their list of the 50 greatest Outkast songs, [9] and in 2021, The Guardian ranked the song number two on their list of the 20 greatest Outkast songs.
