Love the shyt outta Shoes 4 Running. Can see the Seth Rogen crew using that shyt in a movie. Dopest hip hop release of the year IMO. Can't wait to see how The Thickets video is going to come out.

a lot of dinosaur artists like him are too used to major labels to ever leave, even if they're getting fukked over. Independent means more work, worse hotels, more paperwork, etc. That's why dudes like Ghostface keep going back to these bad situations when they could make more money on their own (like Raekwon).

Big Boi needs to call 3 Stacks.
Whether people wanna admit it or not, these two cats need each other. For all of 3000's dopeness, he needs to be in 'Kast. And Big Boi without him just doesn't feel right.

Big Boi doesn't need 3 Stacks young. If you want to count Speakerbox as a solo joint, he's actually been putting out doper music and verses than Stacks tbh.

Def Jam doesn't do a great job with Big Boi albums, but Big Boi left Jive to go to Def Jam, so it's not like there's a label out there that knows how to market JUST Big Boi, which sucks for him, whereas Andre 300 may actually be able to do it on his own if he actually felt like it.
Clearly OutKast is greater than the sum of its parts.

I don't know. Outkast is a brand.
People always say that Andre would be some star solo, but it doesn't work that way all the time. He's clearly the favorite of the two, but I don't know if people would flock to him as a solo artist. I think the reason why we haven't seen him do that, is he knows it wouldn't be the same. Outkast is what people want, not these two cats solo.

Like I said, OutKast is greater than the sum of its parts.
That said, Andre 3000 has already proven through The Love Below that if fans are gonna gravitate towards any one person by himself, it will be him. Eventually we'll wanna hear new OutKast, but there's a buzz when Andre 3000 gets on a track, a buzz we don't get when it's Big Boi.
Andre 3000 just seems disenchanted with the business. If Andre 3000 could be like any artist, he'd probably wanna be like Sade. She gets to put out any batch of 10 songs whenever she wants. She can wait 10 years yet when she drops, everyone's there ready to cop. No pressure, no deadlines. When it's ready it's ready, and in hip-hop we simply won't wait that long.
