Well he isn't hip hop but Prince doesn't like performing the same songs at concerts either. Prince is notorious for having people pay hundreds of dollars to see him perform and not play a single song you have ever heard.
Prince is a known a$$hole tho. Lol. But atleast he's a true artist and makes new songs to perform. How the fukk u complain about performing old songs yet dont make any new ones? :dahell:

Yeah, that's it. I get it but it still sounds a lil' funny. But if there's no beef then there's no beef.

Read the thread, I'm not the only one who didn't know.
nikkas keep mentioning they toured but during that whole tour Andre was in the media complaining n shyt. Talkin all that too old to be rapping shyt. Just bein a debbie downer ass nikka.

Too bad them songs are :scusthov:.

IMO its not just about performing the same old songs over and over, its more that 3k just got tired of rapping. You could tell he was getting that way right after Stankonia dropped. He kept talking about how he wanted to learn to play an instrument and get in a band and then spend more time acting instead of rapping. Even though he was very good at his craft he just got burned out on it. Sometimes you just dont have the shyt in you anymore. :manny:. He doesnt seem like the type to rap just for the sake of doing it like a Rick Ross.

Man they better make that money. Frankie Beverly and Maze been singing the same songs for 30 plus years......shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

If you want to do new creative things do that too, but hell enjoy the fruits of being a legacy artists and tour a few weeks.

That's just me though :beli:

I heard they beefed because Outkast was suppose to go on tour around 2006 or something but Andre didn't want to do it because he felt like he was old to be a rapper or something and Big Boi got mad cause they would have made a large amount of money. Later they ended up being cool about the situation and Andre basically gave his sorry to Big Boi in a T.I. song called "sorry", and they just went on tour recently

There is no beef.


Big was tight about the no touring thing, they've both spoken on that situation as far back AS Speakerboxxx/Love Below's release.

Dre doesn't like performing the same songs over and over. Remember the MTV awards when he shouted out "And Now for the MILLIONTH time!! HEY YA GODDAMNIT!"


Alot of artists go through that, especially the creative ones who are always striving to create something new and push themselves in different avenues.


There is No true beef however
He could always actually release some new music :mjpls:
Like Big Boi has been doing since then :mjpls:

I can totally see where Andre is comin from. Sometimes you just gotta do different shyt. Even if the masses aren't happy. He doesn't live for us even if we are fans. But he shoul drop one more classic :myman:Doesn't he actually have some form of anxiety or stage fright as well.

Actual HE does live for the fans. Without fans, he doesn't get paid/eat..same reasons why he gets movie roles..cuz FANS made him popular...not because he was a good actor.

His life is entertainment.

He should accept it...or remove himself from the entertainment biz altogether...
