Happy I was able to see them live .
Outkast was done after stankonia. It was LA Reid that saw the $ in keeping the brand alive.
There was definitely was falling out at one point.
ONP has talked about it. If you read magazine interviews from that era, the shots on Mighty O, when Big got tired and hopped on Pink Matter, the "gillette shyt" comment, you can see multiple times Big was fed up. Big and Dre turned into Big and Killer Mike.
"All I know is Big here, Dre gone, moved on, changed name from Aquemini to Purple Ribbon."
Outkast been on epic for a decade, ain't nothing stopping them from putting out music except Dre.
There was. Big was tired of Dre's shyt.There was never any real tension. Their lives changed and had been changing since after the debut. Andre 3000 became vegan and stopped smoking. Because of it, they no longer recorded in the same sessions. I think Aquemini was the last album where they were in the same sessions.
There are no real shots in "Mighty O". Its basically Big and Andre trying to one up each other lyrically.
Big definitely wanted to reunite Kast for more music, but obviously Andre had other plans. He even admits to leaving millions in tour/show money on the table on T.I.'s "Sorry".
And of course, Andre 3000 and Big Boi on the same song would then be an OutKast feature. Think about it, how would it look for an OutKast reunion to happen on someone else's album that wasn't DF. Yes, it would have made sense to reunite on Goodie Mob's Survival Kit, but the separate features were a call back to Soul Food where they had separate features on the same album.
There was. Big was tired of Dre's shyt.
sucks that he rapped that verse about Tribe on Rosa Parks
then made the group become that same exact verse in reverse
same, i have issues with the fact they went out on idelwild, that was a wack project. i'd have more closure with them if SB/LB was their dénouement or if they gave us a lost tapesLike I said a long time ago
All I want i the unreleased music in their vault. Big Boi already confirmed they have unreleased shyt
PC statement. Go do some research.Big Boi's OWN words:
However, speaking later on Twitter, he clarified: “The Gillete Statement was me being Sarcastic, man y’all slow as hell, No Beef between me and Stacks. No More Outkast ?’s will be answered.”

It’s not that.The excuse is that the south saw it as a symbol of pride or something. How they fought against the north or whatever. I’m not American so I don’t know the intricacies about what the flag has been used for over the last 200 years or whatever but apparently it was a symbol of the south not JUST a symbol of white supremacy that it seems to be seen as these days.
Not sure I'd want to hear what's on the mind of a nikka playing flutes to appease chinamen has to say in 2023.
