Dre was like, “Nah, I’m going to do my shyt. Big, you do whatever you want to do.”

[Chris Cool]

How was it transitioning from deejaying for Outkast to deejaying for just Big Boi?

It wasn’t a big transition because I put a lot of shyt together and knew the music. Big was just so hurt because he couldn’t believe him and Dre wasn’t going to tour together anymore. In fact, when Dre did “Hey Ya,” we had to do a promo thing for MTV in Cannes, France and they wanted Outkast to do a 20-minute set. So, they wanted Dre to do “Hey Ya” and Big to do “The Way You Move” and about four more songs. Dre was like, “Nah, I’m going to do my shyt. Big, you do whatever you want to do.” That was the first time I saw Big be sad. I think he almost cried because he couldn’t believe that. Dre did “Hey Ya” and had the life-sized character poster boards.

I think Dre came to his senses too in France

because he eventually saw kast could not do a interview.. without a hey ya performance

Regis Leno .. letterman etc those shows got their ratings off hey ya

It was one of the awards shows where Dre performed prototype instead of hey ya

he was forced back out n he literally said for the thousandth time 1..2..3..4

he was done after that performance

idlewild came .. he let big do all the performance with Morris brown

the same ppl who was usin em for ratings fell back

Dre fukked up so much money for Big Boi.

I'd be pissed and sad too.

TONS. They did a few shows in Atlanta maybe 5 years ago. It was the first time they did any shows in their hometown in over a decade and haven’t done any since.

Dre wasn’t with the fame Big Boi respects that all time top legends within the genre already sometimes the money ain’t worth going against yourself for

wah wah wah... he can't perform. you seen him at coachella with his back to the crowd the first show.

why should he have panic attacks on stage just so you can be entertained? if he doesn't have it mentally to perform then let him bow out.

 

[Rekkapryde]

If Big understands and ain't trippin, no one else should. Of course he was probably disappointed, but he understood.

As a lifelong Kast fan, Dre’s mercurial nature irks me. That said...Based on the 4 classics they gave us in their heyday, he owes Hip-Hop nothing. He didn’t cheat the game. We were not robbed.

Big Boi is his brother so their personal relationship is between them.

Yea. His heart got replaced with his ego.

I recently heard "Hey Ya" in an ad

if that doesn't add insult to injury

 

[pawdalaw]

Yea. His heart got replaced with his ego.

This was fair if Dre was still going hard after Kast. But dude faded to black. Can't nobody but Big hold anything against him.

nikka started getting into acting n shyt like that around this time frame. Started trying to separate himself from the group and hip hop shyt.

 

[Sauce Dab]

Hey ya was the beginning of the end. That nikka hates that song now. His heart just wasn’t in it no more. And he wants to release music now but he’s just scared. He said it himself
