Yeah it's called fear of failure. It would be insanely difficult to make either a solo album or a new OutKast album because critics would rip it to shreds and it would never live up to the hype of people's imaginations.
André 3000 Admits He & Big Boi are "further away than ever" From a New OutKast Album
- Thread starter KingsOfKings
- Start date
It's funny 3000 felt like he was already too old for rap during ATLiens and he was only in his early 20s.
I can imagine he's done done with OutKast approaching 50
Flute album was not only trying something different, but a middle finger to those who were asking for an OutKast reunion

I made my peace with a Outkast reunion. Big Boi good on his own, and 3 Stacks can fukk on off and make flute albums.

Class of 97 !!!
Bun was better off working with ALC.. imo.
Krit may be the last remnant of Pimp. I don’t blame him though.
The UGK well is dry now and Bun lost his step without Pimp

Dre got a taste of that Badu…
Maybe Dre didn’t wanna sell his soul or take that oath or try the Egg test.
Thank god that Dre didn’t sell out his beliefs and let those labels pimp him.
dre 3ks music is more accessible to whites so they want to push him
its why big boi has had to fight so hard
thankfully people finally realized he actually is talented around the time of sir lucious. love big boi

They’ve both been recognized as some of the most talented rap artists since southernplayalistic. Now Dre is accessible to cac’s because he rap good, and is good at articulating things in an unguarded way, and didn’t waste his career pretending to be a criminal mastermind?
Are Nas, face, Jay, black thought, Ghostface, dot all cac artists? All this making up shyt to feel better about, not getting what you want is wild emotional.
Antwan Patton never had to fight to have his artistry respected. They’ve both been revered since their debut. They spent decades being celebrated from school hallways, to parties, to corners, to university campuses. If these grown men don’t feel like entertaining you then they don’t have to. Their body of work, as a duo, has done more than enough to cement their legacies.
He was never top 5. He is an amazing lyricist and part of one of the best hip hop duos of all time but to try and isolate his work in that duo and compare it to artist that some of who have also been in groups or duos but have also released solo work is bullshyt. Plenty of amazing lyricist tried and failed to put together great solo albums.
Everytime Andre Benjamin comes up the waterworks start…
“He-he WaS nEvEr TaWp FiVe ANyWaY…. Waahhhhhhhh…”
Even his groupmate can be ranked because Big Boi has both his OutKast work, Big Grams, and his solo work. He has enough of a body of work to be ranked. 3000 isn't a solo artist he's just a part of OutKast so why should he be ranked outside of that?
NeggedThis what happens when yall gas this clown up and start ranking him top 5 without any kind of resume to warrant that
But also if you're not in the space where yall can recreate that magic, better not to force it
The criteria your using is all made up breh. None of that shyt is tangible and barely measurable. Outside of here and other boards, nobody cares. He wrote and spit his own verses. Big wrote and spit his own verses. They are as dope together as they are as individuals. I’m always going to roast the eventual boohoo’ing, the:
“fukk HiM! ThAt’S why BiG bOi WaS bEtTeR… I WiSh BiG bOi WaS My DaD…”
And whatever salty bullshyt nikkas feel they need to say to try and diminish either of their work, to make themselves feel better.
The nikka is celebrated as a top artist, you got weird ass nighas still trying to argue that Fabulous, Big L, and Stack Bundles were on some top artist shyt…. Dre has just a much of a right to be honored that way, due to the words HE put together. Solo albums don't matter. We don’t celebrate Black Thought because of his modern solo’s, we celebrate the timeless classic verses he spit with the BAND he belongs to, the Roots.

Hav always had bars, even when P was in his prime. Just like Big Boi with Dre.
