Do they still mess with Organized Noize? That was my gripe with Outkast during the later part of their career when they ventured away from the sound.

why? organized noise is dope, but I think earthtone III is even better.

its been well proven that both 3K and big boi can produce just as well if not better.

I think OutKast are signed to Sony still?

They should release their unreleased tracks as an album besides a new record, I know they have enough material.

they could also easily send the label 10 big boi songs and 10 3K songs like speakerboxxx/love below and call it an outkast album as well.

There's no label blocking them. It's Andre 3000. They do got 1 album left though.

I know the label blocked songs with Andre and Big Boi together from appearing on Big Boi's first album ("Royal Flush", which was released as a single when he was still on Jive, and "Lookin 4 Ya"). Big Boi released "Lookin" on his own and even said where the two songs belonged in the tracklist so I made my own playlist with those songs intact. Not sure how things have gone down since then, but they definitely blocked it at the time. Jive was on some serious bullshyt with Big Boi's solo career.

Jive folded, big left def jam, and all 3 were on epic (big, dre, kast, hell even big grams) L.A. Reid got the sexual assault allegations, he left epic and started hitco, big followed him. He's on hitco, Dre and Kast are still epic, but nobody's blocking them anymore. It's whatever Dre wants to do.
