Let's revisit OutKast's "Mighty O"

[Headcase]

I've never really believed that they were dissing each other on Mighty O... but the fact that they each said these lines was interesting:

Andre: "All a dream, I wear the crown, I'm King."
then..
Big Boi: "Crowns all around, I'm right after Martin Luther."

Also, the fact that Andre did The Love Below in 3 weeks is ASTONISHING to me.

It's a shame, because Idlewild was definitely their best album

He's Rico Wade's fam and used to spend time in the Dungeon.

He's Dungeon Family. It's crazy when you think about the shyt that nikka raps about.



Future in his early DF days:



Breh can actually rap.

Once I knew they were throwing shots at each other I knew that it was possibly the last time that I ever heard Dre and Big Boi do a real album together.

Me, too, breh.

Miss them nikkas man

 

[x-factor7]

I love this song, but they were definitely going at each other.

 

[Rekkapryde]

How is this them dissing each other? Sounds to me like they're talking to journalists or something, nothing in those bars indicates they were dissing each other.

Dre made the beat too for him Big to rap over. (edit: That was actually Morris Brown)

nikkaz just love drama.

There's something going on with their record deal since the songs that Dre was supposed to have on Big's first true solo album couldn't be put on it even though they both pushed for it.

 

[Rekkapryde]

The Dungeon Family feature they did about 3-4 years ago confirmed that they were throwing shots at each other on Mighty O.

LA Reid's book also confirmed that they sat down with him after Stankonia and told him they were no longer going to record together. Speakerboxx/Love below was originally a Big Boi solo album, Andre called up LA three weeks before it was supposed to drop and asked him if he recorded his own solo album and packaged it with Big's would it be possible. LA told him he had three weeks to turn the album in because Big wasn't willing to wait. Andre recorded Love Below in THREE WEEKS

Receipts.

That's crazy considering they did the homecoming tour 2 years ago.

 

[Roxx the King]

Btw... Is it me or did Rico Wade seem a little crackish is the Organized Noize doc?

It wont just you breh. Me and girl were like

 

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

There were some slick bars in their verses, breh. You gotta listen, closely.

Andre: "...my relative in jail, stay engaged to whatever make money, now he married to that cage..."

shyt probably stemmed from Andre passing up on money-making opportunities for the group (tours, appearances, collabos, etc.), which soured their relationship.

Big Boi was about makin' that money, whereas Andre wasn't willing to do just anything for money.

That's a tremendous reach that that's a shot at big boi. To me, he's talking about a hustling relative getting money any way he can and now being behind bars. You're twisting it to be about big boi.

If you read interviews and shyt between stankonia and sb/tlb, shyt that others including 3000 had onp talked about in hindsight, you can see big boi was fed up. Especially when he did the pink matter and ti joint (that never came out) big boi let it show. And then the whole "he had some Gillette shyt to do"quote. Big boi been tried of dre shyt. And like said in this thread, LA Reid confirmed it.

Even in the clip Big Boi dropped this weekend, he raps that "he's busy running laps, while somebody feeling trapped."

Dre cost him a lot of money.

Remember Dre apologized for fukking up the tours on that track he did with TI?
