March 23, 2008, 12:20 p.m. -  OutKast star Big Boi goes after President George W. Bush in what appears to be his first single from his upcoming solo album, Sir Luscious Left Foot.

He makes fun of the gaffe-prone president on a track entitled, “Royal Flush” saying, "He don't think before he talk."

He also raps the president is "now he gunnin' for Iran" on the N-word riddled track.

The single features his lyrical partner André 3000, who invokes Martin Luther King's memory, and Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon.

Bush, whose popularity is waning largely due to the Iraq war, is known for misspeaking.

Still, Big Boi is not the first Atlanta-based rapper to take a shot at the president in a major rap release. The rap group the YoungBloodZ exclaimed "...F... George Bush!" on their first release "Presidential."

Jadakiss, a member of the hit rap group the Lox, received much criticism when he asked, "Why did Bush knock down the Towers?" on his single "Why?" It was a reference to the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001.
