Outkast turned down the Superbowl

[kingofnyc]

What are you comparing it to though ? It got chart success worldwide and revered by critics

If that's sh!tt to you. Then great to each his own

its not hip hop, its on some 1950's shyt - sorry im just not into that

without reading any further.
i know that weirdo who wears mountain climber gear is behind this fukked up decision.
plus, offered no reasonable explanation other than bytchassness.
shyt has been this way before aquamini came out in the rap pages article.
that exposed they were not actually social in that era.

Andre 3k has never been known to be a commercial sellout, dude keeps it real with his music.
Performing at the SuperBowl might your dream, delivering dope music might be his. Some people actually value artistic freedom.

Big boi is one of the most LOYAL (khaled vc) friends ive ever seen. Dre prolly done fukked dem outta millions but he stayed down

So he had a better alternative .
One multi platinum album every other year for 12 years, a couple world tours, movies, label and on but because you won't perform at something that doesn't pay when you already won Grammy for Album of the year and moved "11-12 million" records with that very album = Dre fukking up the money and Big Boi could've been better of.

The wild mathematics going on here

 

[Danie84]

Cutting the-song-that-destroyed-Outkast would have been a perfect compromise

...cuz I always thought Andre despised (I know i did) the success of Hey Ya

Hate it had to be Big Boi, tho

 

[Animal House]

Top 3 most overrated mcs ever.... Dre

What's wrong with turning it down? I don't know what goes into the shows but I am sure there is a lot involved. They have no project out to promote. Ever since Janet and Justin they have super locked down anything that is creative or outside of the box. All safe type artists. Maybe Outkast doesn't want to be a 'safe' group like the Black Eyed Peas?

I think most people in here are just mad Outkast didn't do the show so they had something to jump on the COLI to complain about and remind us Hip Hop is dead and Tribe Called Quest could have done a better job....

Can you hip me to all this dope music that he's been delivering this whole time?

He's not released any solo music, he has had other things going on and Big Boi planned a solo career right after Idlewild. The point is that he's not dropped any garbage or done anything forced to earn more money than if he kept it real with his craft. Specially not in his Outkast days.

I don't know what you are talking about, Google him if you want to find the music he's been involved with since 92.

 

[African Peasant]

I respect Dre.

He chose his integrity over money. He seems to be real artist, not a merchant masquerading as an artist.

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

Big Boi is a real mothafukkin friend to put up with all this fukkery

What dope records has he done in the past ten years? Deuces? Green Light? I can mention something dope Big Boi has done just in the last month.
