Andre 3000 Was Almost Not on Outkast’s “So Fresh, So Clean”

[Don Mack]

Was listening to Eye for a Eye and it dawned on me, its egregious 3k is held to a undeserved high standard when it really should be Prodigy. He has everything 3k has and more

fukk André.

Rap made you who you are. I’m tired of hearing how this dude hates to rap.

Get the fukk on then.

He's on the song

Boldly James makes a mixtape a day

Big Boi has a legitimate gripe to kill this nikka at this point.

Is there a clip of them talking about this?

Andre was a good addition but the song would still be fire with another Big Boi verse or a Goodie Mob member verse

No it wouldn't. The song is not the same without him. That we are coolest motherfunkers on the planet, the sky is falling, ain't no need to panic..." bridge and Andre's verse is as important as Sleepy's hook and Big Boi on this song.

"Hell On Earth" era Prodigy was a GOAT tier rapper but his skills fell off a cliff long before he died.

Say what you want about Andre, but if Prodigy was alive he would not be dropping a "Life Of The Party" caliber verse this far into his career.

The bass was fire though. Underrated aspect of the track.

People overrate 3k for music that came put in the same time period as Hell On Earth, so 2021 verse is kinda mute here

Prodigy is not a better rapper than Andre …..period

Yet he's stuck by him through thick and thin. Know it couldn't be most people, but that's a real friend and Andre knows it.

If he had said this about a song like "Two dope Boyz" or "Rosa Parks" it would be something. But I could understand "so fresh and so clean".

Track is cheesy as hell. Always has been. But it was catchy. And it worked for the pop crowd. But as a pure hip hop fan, the song was always corny to me. If I never hear it again I wouldn't be upset about it.

3 stacks. The definition of people begging artist to be true to the art form and then hating when they don't do what they want.
Muthafukkas didn't listen to Rosa parks.
I knew 3 stacks would retire maybe one album more after that.

Prodigy was the best rapper on the planet at one point

3000 would be Pharoahe Monch status if he was from NY
