André 3000 might not have dropped much music in recent years but he’s always creating, and if he’s not it puts him in a bad headspace.
Three Stacks is the latest artist to collaborate with streetwear brand Supreme, with the Outkast legend looking set to appear on one of its new t-shirts.
As the brand gears up to drop the first batch of products for its all-new Fall/Winter 2022 collection, it’s beginning to roll out a series of teasers on its social media pages including a couple with André 3000.
Over the weekend, Supreme shared a campaign photo of 3000 — shot by Deana Lawson — in one of the brand’s classic white box logo tees. In a follow-up post, the fashion brand dropped a video of André discussing the power of creating art.
“If I ain’t creating nothing, I don’t feel good,” Three Stacks says in the video while Outkast’s “Vibrate” plays in the background. “So, at a certain point you gotta feed yourself and sometime[s] you can’t feed on mimicking, but you got to put the time into figuring out who you are and what you not, too.
“A lot of times, what you not is very important. And you can wanna be something but your strength is actually in something else. That is what makes you start to do your own thing, and that’s when your skin start to breathe and you start to like, get into your primal self.”
He concludes the video by saying: “Your primal self is the best contribution to the planet.”
In addition to Supreme’s box logo tee, the video sees André 3000 sporting an olive military jacket and pinstripe overalls that hang halfway off his body while holding his trademark flute. He’s also seen rocking a pair of large framed shades and a bold red beanie to complete his look.
In other André 3000 news, B.o.B recently recalled Eminem’s reaction to when he played him his “Play the Guitar” collaboration with the Outkast legend during a studio session.
Macklemore Channels André 3000 In Video For New Song ‘Maniac'
The song features a show-stealing guest verse from Three Stacks and was released in 2011 following the success of B.o.B’s chart-topping debut album The Adventures of Bobby Ray.
“I remember when I was in the studio with Eminem and I played Eminem ‘Play the Guitar,’” he said. “And I remember Em being like, ‘You just never know where [André 3000] gon’ land at.’ I know what he meant when he said that.
“I was watching him listening to André 3000’s verse on my song and he was like, ‘Damn, man. You just never know where he’s gon’ land with the flow.’ And I’m just like, ‘Yo, this is wild to me!’”
How about creating some new music with lyrics, for your fans?
Can’t understand how this guy is every rappers favorite rapper..
He’s got a whole body of work. He’s evolved. He’s actually got a newer song out with J.Cole so, what’s your point? On top of that, creating doesn’t just mean rapping. He plays instruments. He doesn’t more than just rap. Respect that.
He doesn’t have one solo album Stop lying for hipster purposes.
Song with J Cole??? You mean kanye or sum
Supreme is wack. They get gen z idiots to buy toothbrushes for $100 and a literal cement brick for $300. Google “Supreme drops” and then look those items up on ebay if you dont believe. As far as Andre 3000 dropping a clothesline, its been done before. (Outkast Clothing Company) It didnt last, just like Wu Wear, Rocca Wear, and No Limit Gear, people move on. Rap culture in general is just too trendy for any one brand to be successful long term.
Big Boi is better. Dont @ me either, go argue with your dusty ass momma.
That’s a guy who is genuine to himself.
Create another Outkast album already
That is what I was gonna say drop another Outkast album it will not screw up your legacy it will make it better.
Perhaps he should seriously consider music production or even directing music videos for other artist… Still don’t quite understand how him and Ms. Badu had broken up tho? just saying family.
Someone needs to drop the unleaded tracks from the first 5 projects.
