Andre 3000 not performing with Big Boi during their Hall of fame was disrespectful to HipHop, he secretly looks down on rap

This is a pure lie. People didn't start putting 3K that far ahead of Big Boi until AFTER he stopped rapping. Big Boi was literally the one who everyone pegged for a feature at one point as a matter of fact. Of course there was people who liked 3K better but not to the point it is now where people treat Big Boi like an afterthought to the group. If 3K is top 5 than Big Boi deserves to at least be top 10. They will have this nikka at like the 25-30 mark. Just disrespectful af.
Dre is always saying how good Big Boi is in interviews and never claiming he (Dre) is the best even when the Internet was trying to say he was top 5 after doing a couple of features.

It's fake humble and narcissistic imo.

It might be narcissism, but it’s honest. It’s not like he was seeking this honor. It was bestowed on him and he decided he didn’t want to perform. I went to the One Music Fest a week earlier and he wasn’t there.

Jay Z didn’t perform when he was inducted either.

I don’t know how anyone could have watched his acceptance speech and thought he was being fake or dishonest.

It’s fake and dishonest because he was right there and could’ve showed his appreciation by performing with his brother this one last time instead of having Big Boi looking crazy up there performing their hits with cats who he shouldn’t be performing them with. It would’ve been better if he just didn’t show up. Jay Z is a solo act. Like I said it wouldn’t have been weird if neither one of them performed or if Dre didn’t show up at all. This shyt just looked awkward and weird.

That man done shown you guys repeatedly he will leave you on read for his flute but you just keep texting :pachaha:

Andre wants to be the Black Keanu Reeves but, nikkas keep fukking with him :pachaha:

On a side note, Donald Glover should've paid whatever amount he had to, to have gotten Andre on an Atlanta episode.

He could've easily worked as Darius's dad or his eclectic older brother :pachaha:

lol that’s what I don’t be wanting to hear shyt about him being a top 5 emcee. No solo run, don’t be performing, I mean if he’s checked out then that’s his right but why we obliged to take him THAT seriously? And I say that as someone that likes a lot of his past work.

Agreed. He's not. You can't be a top 5 anything with no real history as a solo artist. People will be snobbish about Andre, then turn around and say Drake isn't a top rapper when he held down rap from 2009 to 2016. I don't even like Drake that much, but that's an example of how hypocritical people can be.

"Entitlement" is a cop out

Dre can do whatever he wants, and nikkas can feel like he did some sucka shyt

Dre don't owe us shyt, and we don't owe him an unwavering positive distinction:manny:

That's how I feel, too. Nobody is really "wrong" here.

I wish Andre would go up there for old time's sake because it would be cool to show love to the fans.

But I get it on some level also. The Andre we want died a long time ago. He's not that guy anymore.

Like Jay-Z will probably never get on stage with State Property and them...like ever. Mentally, he's not that Jay-Z anymore, and it feels below him. Not saying Andre thinks Big Boi is below him, like Jay probably thinks about State Prop, but I know Andre is just a different person now like Jay is a different person.

Nothing secret about it. While I don't think he has to do anything to appease fans of his, I do agree that him having Big Boi out there dolo is not a good look.

I think he has a right to not want to perform his "old job", but I do see the hypocrisy in showing up to receive the award for it and shout-out Jack White but leaving Big Boi to perform on his own. Would've respected it more if 3K just stayed home :yeshrug:
