Outkast's Andre 3000 Gets Down With Norah Jones, Big Boi Takes Us To 'Church'
If you're one of those Outkast fans who've been scratching their heads, questioning why you haven't seen Dre at most of the group's public appearances of late, it's because he's been in the studio trying to uphold his side of the bargain.
Andre 3000 is only about 80 percent done with his solo album, which is going to be included in the ATL's duo's double LP, Outkast Present … Big Boi and Dre. Now being scheduled for release around Memorial Day, the other half of the album is, of course, Big Boi's solo opus. Of what he has finished, Dre has politicked collaborations from this year's Grammy golden girl Norah Jones and fellow newcomer Vivian Green. Meanwhile, Big Boi, who has been done with his record for weeks, has guest appearances from Jay-Z, the Dungeon Family, Twista and Killer Mike. Both Outkast partners will also have a couple of cameo spots on each other's albums. The group handled much of the production itself...

Posted by: Thought on March 27, 2003 07:14 PMDre & Big Boi if you are reading this I just want to say stay "innovative and do you." Your music is always like a breath of fresh air, unpolluted with the industry toxins. You are my musical role models. Hey, if you are still looking for that new-new talent on Stankonia, I'm starving hit me up at lilcsz28@hotmail.com Stay fresh and clean.
p.s. when is a collaboration coming with Nas, or Dead Prez, or Lauryn Hill? Please tell me it's in the future.

Posted by: Golconda on April 8, 2003 11:24 AMSouthernplayalisticadillacmusik! ATLiens! Aquemini! Andre'and Big Boi Presents...! And last but not least, Stankonia! Everyone who has heard these albums will agree when I say that you men have set a standard for all those who hope to achieve success while accepting no less. My approach towards music has not been the same since I first heard "Millenium". Your song entitled "Liberation" envigorated the fire that burns within this poor soul. Thanks for all you've done that you're not fully aware of and for all that you've set out to do and have accomplished.

Just wanna thank OutKast for all their work again. Your sound, if possible, is a picture of the outlook I have on life. It's deeply moving, especially, and I know it seems strange, the song 'Slump' and the lifting nature of 'Chonkyfire'. Your contrasting styles on 'Gangsta Shit' to the music on 'Babylon'. It's all very, very good. Love it and live it a lot, and I live at the beach in Australia on the other side of the world. If you get into Michael Franti & Spearhead at all, heed their words and keep letting your 'souls shine' through that laid back and cool nature you fellas exude.

I also wanted to say how pure fucking genius all of your albums are (especially stankonia). You guys are incredible and your lyrics are so intensely genuine. Keep doing what you guys are doing, because it's the only shit that keeps me grounded. Thank you for pioneering the music of the mind. Peace.
