A part of maturing is realizing nothing last forever. No matter how much you want it. Even your very earthly existence is finite

Outlast will forever be a legend. Every album they damn near reinvented their style to the dopest.
One thing tho I got to say I'm sad with how the tour turned out.,..... I don't feel real rap heads got a chance to go and so just left a bad taste.

I understand why he'd feel apprehensive about performing old songs over and over because as an artist you constantly want to create but the whole "sell out" thing seems weird to me. You WROTE these songs and they are universally recognized as classics so how could you be selling out?
Cause he a bytch ass egotistical nikka who thinks hes better than "Outkast" and hip hop in general and I been tryna tell nikkas from the jump who keep overrating him...he fukked up Big Boi's bread..literally fukked him out of millions for Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below...now this nikka is publically shyttin on this tour and the group any chance he gets..dude is selfish..

he looked like he didn't care at Coachella..his heart clearly wasn't in it but he got paid and the fans enjoyed themselves.

remember when he made a deliberate point that it wasn't an official OutKast remix when Big Boi put a verse on the Frank Ocean/Andre collab ?

I don't understand his position on "old songs". Great music is great music. Those "old songs" are what made him who he is. That's what the fans want to hear. I don't believe in the word "old" when it comes to great music.

yea, I thought that was petty. its not like they ended on some godly high note, Idlewild was wack as shyt. if anything I thought strong new material would help move on from that era, but that's obviously not happening

the label.....if it were an "official" jawn, the label would have their ass for it.

Remember the label still wants another album. it's why they pulled the 2 songs they had done together for Lucious Leftfoot off the album.

Between him and Dr.Dre both these n1ggas should stop playing it safe and drop somethin or fukkin retire. Im tired of reading or hearing yo this is gonna be my last album, my best album, we workin on somethin, etc. N1gga shut the fukk up stop b1tchin and drop somethin.

Dr Dre is retiree at this point because the only music he's concerned with is the $ his of music generates, his 50 Cent/Eminem catalog $ and finally, his Beats $

No fukkin way Apple or Jimmy lets him put out any gangsta shyt at this point

Way too much at stake for him now to be making a "Kush pt. 2"

This doesn't surprise me, he's been saying this shyt for a while now. I respect him for being real. I saw them in LA and it looked like he was very much enjoying himself, so dude is a hell of an actor.

It makes me respect Big so much more because he still stands by Dre. That's loyalty like a mufukka. He's a better man thatn 99.9% of cats for that.
he "stands" by him for a check..

no Dre.. no tour.. no money..

Dre don't respect Big, but you respect Big.. :heh: ass backwards reality..

Dre can put out what he wants.. he's his own boss..

Iovine, or Apple ain't his "boss".. Iovine ain't even head at Interscope, anymore.. muchless, Dres boss.. :snoop:

why y'all talk about the industry like y'all know what's good is possibly the most laughable thing on the planet..
