What does his art look like?

I been heard he was an artist and always thought he did the art on the Outkast albums and recently found out it wasnt him. :mjlol:


I really thought he did the ATLiens album cover cause mafukkas was saying that back in the day.

I’m At The Source, yeah that was a big look I can't forget that.

That was a monumental moment in Hip Hop history….
Yeah let’s pretend that UGK and Geto Boys wasn’t out before OutKast……:smh:

Geto Boys was a platform for Face looking back on it and he didn’t like it


UGK was always country and stayed that way. It’s crazy how it took for Jay-Z to give them a national look.


I’m just saying that Dre’s speech put the battery in all the southerners back.


U noticed how once the South stopped seeking approval, the music was good and catchy. They didn’t need samples like that.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
Here come the revisionist goofies.

Eminem opened dirty ass New York/Northeast goofies eyes to Andre 3000 that never listened to an OutKast album during the 90s and think Cormega is a good artist.

Dont nobody give a flying fukk about the opinion of Eminem except crackers and nikkas that learned how to be black on the internet.
nikka u always angry af. Like when u type I imagine a big ass round red ass face just pissed tf off on the other end. lol. Number one we been up on OutKast from day one so stop acting like Eminem introduced any NY nikkas to Dre. shyt Raekwon was on one of the lead singles on Aquemini. Eminem is significant because he brought the sentiment to the mainstream crackers and outlets who wasn’t plugged in with the culture like that. And Big Boi’s career has been downplayed ever since.

You are 100% correct and there's nothing controversial about it. Em started the mainstream white appreciation for Andre and then it morphed into the toxic bullshyt we've been dealing with ever since. I'll never forget when YesJulz made that bullshyt comment about loving Andre and not fukking with Big Boi. This was years ago but it was perhaps the height of the Pitchfork whiter hipster years. Cacs who would tell you Gucci was the GOAT were telling you Big Boi was wack because he wasn't introspective. Make it make sense.

And frankly I hate the way Andre leans into that shyt now. He's too good for rap but wants us to listen to his "art" which sounds like a 9 year old improvising the Peanuts soundtrack? And the media laps it up because the IDEA of Andre is what's important. He's such a cool and free guy and oh wow he's making art this is so cool! You can't get these publications to actually engage with or talk about instrumental music in this era yet Pitchfork rushes out to give this shyt a 7? Sure it's not like they gave him an 8+ rating but my point is....he's allowed to be pedestrian in a fringe/niche art space while actual great artists are ignored. Let me get nerdy for a sec: Nils Frahm just released a really good EP. Another piano piece from a great composer. This is the shyt I fukk with outside of rap! I love jazz, I love modern composing, I like weird instrumental shyt. Yet come December when the best-of lists come out guess who will be on the publication lists? The celebrity rapper who dropped some half assed piano sketches. Meanwhile actual artists who love the craft get ignored because they don't garner clicks/engagement.
