André spoke with Fader about his tour outfits, and the “Hey Ya” performer revealed he did not go into the trek with the plan of wearing the jumpsuits. Dré was actually not that interested in touring at all.

“Honestly, just, you know—I didn’t wanna do the tour. We hadn’t performed in 10 years. It was old songs,” said André. “I’m like, How am I gonna present these songs? I don’t have nothing new to say. So I was like, maybe I can start saying new stuff while doing these old songs. It became a theme where I was more excited about this than the actual show. This is fun, running out in these.”

3000 was also apprehensive about the fans’ reactions to the Atlanta duo coming together for one last tour. The suits featuring sayings like “across cultures, darker people suffer most. why?” and “art of fart?” became his release from the concerns that core OutKast followers would view their reuniting as just a money-making venture.

“I felt weird about going out on stage and doing it again. I felt like people would be like, ‘Y’all are doing all these festivals, y’all are just doing it for money,'” said Dré. “And I felt like a sellout, honestly. So I was like, if I’m in on the joke, I’ll feel cool about it.”

Dre just THINKS alot. Its a problem "us" thinkers have and its even worse for thinkers that try and take a higher moral ground or have some type of honor or code, its why we don't like to try to explain everything people want to know. It always comes out wrong, or pretentious.

I think Dre is clearly over thinking his live performances and overall craft. And especially what people think.

I don't think he really felt the music thing after Stankonia. Really messed up Organized Noise's paper too, because he wouldn't sign off on a lot of stuff.
