More Evidence That Outkast Is No Longer, And Dave Chapelle's Classic TV Moment!!!
What’s up Fam,
Yes! The comments are down yet again. I know, I know your over our technical problems, but you know what I say –“It is what it is”. We will have them up and running momentarily. I’m sure y’all remember my recent post on Andre and Big Boi. In that post I went on a rant regarding how I feel about Big Boi and Andre 3000 frontin’ like their still a group. Since that post various news outlets have been a buzz about Big Boi going dolo for his upcoming lyrical effort, and today I got word from a very reliable source that Andre is also working on his solo effort. Does solo +solo= a group? I don’t think so! Here is a snippet of the article that I found online.
What’s da deal, new world? His name is Andre 3000, and he wants to overpower Hollywood just like he did in hip-hop. But the southern playalistic gentleman, who's busy filming the drama "Battle in Seattle" and the slap-stick comedy "Semi-Pro" with Will Ferrell, says rapping will never take a back seat to acting.
"Not taking a back seat because you're always thinking of something. You're always writing some type of lyric," he said two weeks ago in New York while promoting yet another film, "Charlotte's Web." "I'm just trying to find a frame of mind. What's the next mood to be in? It's not just about recording songs and putting them out. I have to do them if I have something to say. In the meantime, I've been doing a lot of remixes."
Three to be exact. He's on the new version of Rich Boy's "Throw Some D's" with the Game and Jim Jones. There’s also the new remix to Lloyd's "You," which also features Nas. And of course DJ Unk's "Walk It Out" remix with Jim Jones again and Outkast partner Big Boi.
"I've been getting in the studio with some of these new people that's out," continued Dre, who said he's been busy listening to recent radio hits. "I've just been showing up at the studio and people been asking, 'Yo, would you get on this remix?' Just asking — they never think it could happen. I've been like, 'Yeah, yeah. Cool.' New fans that only hear 'Hey Ya!' or 'The Way You Move' forget I started out rappin'."
"Our homeboys produced those songs and asked us to be on these songs," Big Boi chimed in of he and Dre's guest work. "If you got the urge to rap, you never lose it. Just when everybody thought it was safe ... I'm telling you, we're not to be f---ed with. We just doing what we doing. We just having fun living. My man is back out here rhyming. You know what that is." ...
What ya''ll think? Is over for the southern duo as a group? I say hell yes! It's a wrap!!
This is just a random video that I found on youtube.com last night. You can never go wrong with Dave Chapelle. Though his show of the same name was cancelled (or is it) his skits are still classic television, at least to me.
