André 3000 Admits He & Big Boi are "further away than ever" From a New OutKast Album

[threattonature]

So they cant make a song or two, every now and then?


This shiit is so goofy now with dude. You dont wanna Rap anymore. And you're not confident in your skills no more. Its ok. But cut it out

I don't think it was a slight, but it was funny to me how he said being in the studio with Kendrick and Drake gave him inspiration and made him pick up the pen. Cause it makes you wonder why he can't get in the studio while Big Boi is recording and see if that inspires him.

Why are y'all assuming he doesn't??

I've never heard of them falling out. They just don't make music. Last Big Boi interview I heard, he was saying he just came from seeing the nikka

I’m so sick of Andre 3000. Imagine Nas stopped rapping, dissing hip-hop music in interviews, and then teased fans with new material…..then proceeds to drop an album playing the flute. Big Boi should take tha OutKast name n replace Andre with T.I. or some up and coming ATL rapper.

He wouldn't take the name, thats a bad idea for a million different reasons.

I could see a Big Boi & JID album being really good.

I been gave up hope for a OutKast album. Low key Big Boi's last couple of solo albums have been f*cking heat.

Big Boi is keeping the tradition of having the naked lady on the disc art

 

[Mac Ten]

Most of that album was throwaways from “Stankonia” sessions

That makes Stankonia look like a classic…


Idk what Dre and Big Boi was thinking by having 24 songs on one album??

My Dad played the whole album left and right.

Idlewild was trash. The movie was classic BET Sunday Evening filler.

 

[boogers]

you know, maybe if the world could leave Andre3k alone for 10 minutes, he might actually start to miss rap

how is an artist supposed to evolve when everyone keeps pestering him about a group he hasnt had his heart in since 2003

let him play his flute and be weird

 

[Mac Ten]

I always felt Andre wasn’t man enough to tell Big Boi he didn’t wanna rap with him no more and every thing else been a distraction from that

It’s good that Big Boi went solo…

Now he doesn’t have to be in Dre’s shadow so much.


The industry has pitted many groups against each other due to egos.


The day that Dre and Big publicly beef will be sadder than the day that Havoc dissed Prodigy on twitter.

LL just dropped a dope ass album

Ain’t no one playing that in the streets or that Missionary album by Snoop and Dre

 

[Mac Ten]

you're wrong. After ATLiens....Outkast mostly stepped away from ONP....RIP RICO...

We got Earthtone III(Big Boi, Dre, and Mr. DJ) instead


Big and Dre were underrated behind the boards

 

[bigde09]

We got five albums from them and most are classics. You know damn well if they put out an album now it would be mid and everyone would shyt on it.

It’s very rare for artist to recapture their prime at an older age.

Nas is one of the few who can do it but not everyone is Nas.

The record label won't let them release anything with both of them on it together as they still owe them one more OutKast album. They recorded two songs for Big Boi's debut and once Jive/Arista dumped Big Boi as a solo artist, they made him remove both songs he had with Andre including Royal Flush, which was his first single. They let him keep the song Dre produced but had no vocals on.

If they didn't have that over their heads, my gut feeling is we would have had another Kast album as they probably would have done something together and it would've popped off from there.

3000 has never stopped rapping though, there is something else involved with why he's on this particular hiatus.
