Dre was like, “Nah, I’m going to do my shyt. Big, you do whatever you want to do.”

This is one of the worst posts in here. Panic attacks and belief systems don't share a correlation with confidence.

Are you a fuccin moron. Having confidence in yourself is based on the foundation of KNOWING YOURSELF you dullard

Don't be dismissive when you don't actually get the point you're critiquing

Andre 3000 dropping a solo album to prove that he can hold down a solo to appease people who think he's overrated would be the dumbest reason to ever drop an album.

Even though you was a dullard in our exchange this is 1000% facts

Finding yourself =/= insecurity and changing beliefs doesn't mean you don't know yourself. Experiences change people and affect how they feel, what they believe and how they interact with other people regardless of how much self confidence they have.

How is he coasting when he didn't create that status? It came from people holding his work as a member of Kast in high regard in addition to the features he did outside of Kast. I don't see it any different to how people will put Prodigy up there with the GOATs based off his work as half of Mobb Deep. Yes, he has solo albums, but who is actually holding Prodigy's solo albums in the same regard as solos from artists that consistently pop in GOAT discussions? Basically, he's held in high regard for his work within Mobb Deep, not because he has solo albums in the ranks of solo albums from GOAT artists. This is no different than how people view Andre 3000. S

Having some work still matters lots of people hold prodigy;s work whether it be HNIC series or his work with alchemist in high regard.
proving and solidifying himself

him and 3k aint the same.

That MTV unplugged album was something NO ONE wanted. But if she likes it that's all that matters.

In other words: commercial products depend 100% on people wanting them

What consumers want is literally the only consideration when record companies produce records

There is a slight difference between artists and merchants.

A merchant is SOLELY interested in what the consumers want, not the artist.

Breh, you know gull well, when people say Prodigy is Top 10 or higher, they ain't using verses from his solos to make that case. "Apostle's Warning" or verses from other songs from a classic Mobb Deep album will be used to make that case no different from using Andre verses from classic Kast albums.

the casualness of people using prodigys most known work via with mobb doesnt really prove anything. Fact of the matter is prodigy actually has work behind him. 3K doesnt

Whether or not he has solo work behind him is irrelevant, if said work is not used to make his case for being elite. No rapper who is discussed as a GOAT level MC is in that discussion because they have solo work. It is because they have iconic albums.

Let that man live. He's not a Hip-Hop hostage or something.

 

[mbewane]

hey ya literally turned into the Bozeman Wakanda Forvever pose or Urkel saying “Did I do that”.

that’s all these new casual fans wanted

This was a very strange moment indeed. For various reasons Outkast was never THAT huge in Europe/France (generally more into east coast and some west coast albums) then all of a sudden you would hear Hey Ya everywhere and all kind of people who didn't mess with HH AT ALL would have it on repeat

Dre is just kind of a weirdo. I heard him say that he didn't want to do concerts because nobody wanted to hear that "old music" . What made it even crazier was at the time he was filming the movie on Jimi Hendrix. Nyqqa his shyt is super old!!!

Andre 3000 Didn't Want To Do The Outkast Reunion Tour But Agreed For One Reason

I have no way of proving this and this is just my own theory . But I think that Jimi Hendrix roll was supposed to he his big breakout moment in acting and it never happened. They were talking about that movie and roll since ‘05 . I think dre thought acting was going to be his next artistic move and it didn’t pan out. Funny the big time eclectic musicians was trying to become known for playing another eclectic artists in a movie

Dr Dre has the same problem with not believing detox could ever live up to his first 2 albums so he just gave up to save face.

It really can't tho

He is way too "structured" as a producer for it to even happen at this point...

And posters on here kill me with all the fake Big Boi>>>> Dre posts. Big Boi has solo albums and a new album on the way and none of you mention Big Boi being better until Andre 3000 is mentioned.

I always hear about people sleeping on big boi dropping solo classics to praise a nikka that hates hip hop and doesn't even make music anymore.

Big Boi is indeed slept on, but Andre does not hate Hip Hop. He just doesn't want to make an album.

During the mid 2000s dre had it in him to drop an album on par with both chronic albums
