Of course an OutKast album would be welcomed, but what would it even sound like at this point. I would be more disappointed if they went out like The Fugees and all we had were two albums and out of the two, only one of them was a classic. OutKast has 6 albums and only one of them isn't good/great. We saw them go from two good MC's to two great MC's to two elite MC's. It wasn't the MC aspect as we also saw them become co-producers and producers of their own music as well as others. This was the rare group or duo who was got the hood love, the love from purists, the hipster love, the soccer mom love, the commercial/mainstream success, the critical acclaim, and the accolades.

If you a fan of dre I don't know why this would surprise you.
He always said he would rather retire early than overstay his welcome.
Plus in interviews he said that hip hop embodies how the youth see the world.
Problem is he didn't overstay his welcome since we never got a solo from him :mjcry:

They didn’t have a big fallin out

Jive pressured them to do shyt .. vs letting them do them like laface did

How they did big with his sir lucious album

That was the last draw from Dre

How u gone shelve one member who had Grammy nominated songs

For the album

Because u want Dre to drop first

Then when big moves on u remove every song big has two songs with Dre sir lucious

N he has to start over

Dre jus got burnt out from the politics

Day time n Late nite tv used them for hey ya n big didn’t really shine on his side

Hey brought in ratings

Than when Dre sat down for idlewild … them daytime n late night shows stopped booking them

them boys always together

Anything big makes Dre ears it and give his input

If he is asked by any of the dungeoneeze he’s there with a 16

He always supporting his nephews nieces cross bamboo and Jordan

all these years and i never spotted that confederate flag belt buckle that André "3000" is sporting until recently..
time stamped at 0.17 .



That’s a southern thing. Lots of southern rappers wore it or had it on their album covers etc for years

yup ... I recall a couple of high profile ones doing it. Ye claims atl and chicago.

Projects mean touring and basically being a 9-5 employee of the label..
I mean I guess, maybe an indie option at this point? Not sure what his business looks like at all.
Maybe he just wants to flex the muscle every now and then. He’s STILL an artist just not full time and hasn’t been for the last twenty years.

He’s already said over and over he doesn’t love rap that like anymore. He doesn’t buy into his own hype or legend. He doesn’t want the responsibility of “saving” the genre. And wants to work with and how he wants with no stipulations.
True, likely the case.

Perhaps a bit of that too.

That’s they business lol
i dunno bro, when they become famous and public figures its another ball game. the media makes millions-billions documenting the private lives of entertainers. tabloids, worldstar, tmz, page six, etc rake it in.
i guess some get tired of the constant publicity after a number of years.
