I'm not saying they're not comfortable and well off

I'm saying they didn't tour love below and hey ya wss a huge smash and that was because of Andre

There an interview where big boi said he wanted to tour


i got what u sayin...but alot of shyt that was goin on at the time...would have broke the group up...i pointed out in another thread about them...what was in plain sight...but big didnt see it..

why wasnt their any tours or big fuss for the idlewild album...speakerboxxx love below...networks were breakin their necks to get em on their for ratings...kuz of hey ya..

i respect andre just like i respect big boi

i like the fact that both these brothers respect one another's decisions and continue to do their thing on their own terms

i know it's hard for some fans as fans to accept certain decisions when it comes to the music but we gotta remember, they people too and at the end of the day, they gotta follow they hearts and do what's best for them too

i think it's cool that both of them are able to draw a line down the middle and say "this what i'm gon do" and "this what i'm gon do" and they do it and it seems to be no beef at all with that. i'm sure it hasn't always been easy but the love and respect is there because they got love for one another

great to see the business didn't break these 2 apart and they still brothers. they been cool since high school and now here they are in they 40's just bout and they still cool and have been able to do what they love when they want to and how they want to all the while and more importantly feed they families because that comes first, that's what matters in the end. fukk the money, the fame and all of that.

I can't front 3k is one of the nicest nikkas to ever bless the mic but.... fukk is wrong wit dude? I need to hear a logical reason for turning down a performance at the super bowl cause that shyt don't make no sense


they wanted to cut the time down on hey ya...and didnt even want big to perform the way u move...

then they found out dre said no...then they wanted to combine hey ya and the way u move together..dre said no again..jus off principle they shouldve did that shyt in the first place..

thats what it is...yeah them nikkas coulda made a gang of money tourin for that album...dre didnt wanna do it..big respected it..n did their promotions together as usual..

when big tried to do his first solo..on jive..they blocked it...kuz they were wantin dre..didnt budge..but he did help big out...jive blocked every chance big had to drop it..

he left went to grand hustle blocked it..

went to def jam..ok u gotta eat..but u not gone release this album with dres vocals ...

big redid the album...added a couple more songs n dropped it..

jive still didnt get a dre album...

yup

yeah, people ain't lookin' at the whole thing, it's more than just the music side of things. both big and dre got integrity and ain't bout the bullshyt and stand up for what they believe in and it can be hard but it can be done if you strong and stand up for what you believe in

big has cut out a very interestin' and nice patch for himself post speakerboxxx and i know the ride won't smooth but bruh has done really well for himself after goin' through that bullshyt he went with through like you said with jive

andre did well too. had the cartoon, has done movies, clothing line etc.

both followin' they hearts and bein' true to themselves

i know big's love is the music 1st and foremost, i'm interested in seein' what dre will do in years to come because it's obvious he's moved on from hip hop and that's over, so i'm interested in seein' where his interest is at now outside of actin'

"And when it comes to commercials, the Super Bowl is Park Avenue, Malibu, Paris and London all rolled into one.

A 30-second advertisement during this year's game costs a cool $4.5 million. That's an average of $150,000 per second."

an average of 111.5 million people tuned into last year’s game against the Denver Broncos.
main reason for the lengthy Super Bowl experience is the halftime break that lasts about 12 to 13 minutes.
think about the money to be made :ohhh:

He produced and wrote that song...it took 2 years to make

It's a great record which borrows from funk rock and Prince/Beatles...with sales to back it up

He's still an idiot for preventing Big Boi from gettin money like that

:what: 2 years to make -to each is own- its a shytty song
