Andre 3000 says that he’s not bored with Rap.
“It’s more that I’m bored with what I can do in rap,” the OutKast rapper says during an interview with Rolling Stone. “I’m always a fan – from the stupidest knucklehead rap to the quote-unquote lyrical gods, I listen to it all. I just don’t know what else I can do with it.”
Nonetheless, the Atlanta artist says that he knows that people want him to make a new rap album.
“I understand it,” Andre 3000 says. “People stick to ideas that they’re familiar with. I mean, I honestly wish that I could make a dope rap album, but I know it would be something else. I’ve always known that there comes a time when you’re just not as hip. It happens to everybody, and it has nothing to do with talent. It has to do with intensity and time and the world growing around you.”
OutKast reunited to perform 42 dates this year. It marked the duo’s first tour since 2002.
f*ck off Andre,we are bored with your shenanigans
Who the fuck are you and what have YOU done?
he is your father
Tis I, Luke.
I agree, I’m sick of him going out of his way just to say he won’t do anymore outkast material, or he’s bored with rap. And then do a track like I’m sorry and give fans hope and then not release anything. I love dude buti think he’s afraid to fail.
I understand. I always believe every rapper has a capped level of creativity and set amount of wordplay. Sometimes you’re just out of shit. Nothing to be ashamed of.
I know he could still pick hot beats and provide dope lyrics but that might be boring to him and he wouldnt enjoy it and wouldnt want to do a 25 show tour performing the same records that sound like bullshit to him. And the last thing we want is him dropping Yeezus. So do you.
True, but the only problem is he never hit the ceiling, he raised it!
If / When Andre 3000 gets into a studio with Yelawolf .. It will 100% re-inspire him .. Yelawolf is pushing the boundaries and to couple that with Andre 3000 .. OMG
The most random, shit comment I’ve read.
Pass that shit you smoking homie. YELAWOLF? Smh
The comment and the responses are comedy.. Yelawolf? where did that come from… man just make a dope Outkast album.. RAP ALBUM. not all that singing… and ride off like the Legend you are 3k.
I can picture this. That new Yelawolf song ‘Till It’s Gone’ is dope!
lmao that was a cool random comment tho. post a link of yela pushing the boundarys i wanna hear that shit
he’s talking out of his ass – if he doesn’t want to make more records that’s on him, it has nothing to do with his age or whatever he wants to blame for his lack of inspiration or output…
it seems to me he just doesn’t like rap music anymore but doesn’t want
to alienate his fans by coming clean with the truth…
it’s plenty of dudes in hip-hop older than 3000 still bringing the heat – starting with Jay-Z – so his point is straight nonsense. Of course you can only be young and cool once, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be old and cool, just ask any real artist who ever produced anything of worth (Miles Davis, Ouincy Jones, etc)…
Still, Andre had his day in the sun and if that’s how he wants to leave it, respect. I’m not begging him to record a damn thing.
well how much older others are isn’t what matters. it’s about how old he feels.
Rappers like Jay-Z stayed relevant mostly in the 2000s with modern pop-sounding hip-hop music, other veteran emcees kept doing what they do since they been doin it. If that’s how Andre feels, there’s no one to tell him otherwise, it’s his life and while I’m disappointed in his outlook I respect it
Note that Andre said “has to do with the world growing AROUND YOU”, it’s got nothin to do with how old he is and how others are older than him. maybe he done grown up in a different way than these other niggas
I agree with most of what your saying but he’s correct as far as cats losing ground as they get older. But the difference is you only lose ground when you’re out of the spotlight for so long. If you all the average 18yr old who Andre 3000 is our to name one song they’re going to be like whooooo?
Eminem, Jay none of them are the same. Eminem since 2002 I think his best move would have been dying imagine the slim shady lp, the marshall mathers lp. the eminem show, 8 mile soundtrack and the oscar win. He would have been a “legend” or he should have just kept acting. Only two songs since than I feel are playable since are When I’m gone and Beautiful. Jay-Z put out his last good song with 99 problems. Rakim not the same. KRS-ONE not the same. None of these dude’s are the same. Guy’s like Miles Davis and Bob Dylan are able to continue doing what there doing efficiently, because they aren’t rapping. Rap takes like eminem said a youthful exuberance. Hip-Hop is a young cat’s game.
Also I think Andre was deeply saddened by the assholes at coachella who didn’t know any song beside rose and hey ya.
Good. Leave then you weak ass nigga. O neve liked your commercial ass anyway. Ole play it safe ass nigga
“Ole play it safe ass nigga”
Are you actually retarded? Everything OutKast ever did pushed the boundaries of rap.
I could respect this from 3000. Rap is always changing of course (for the worse) and the motivation to adapt to what’s “in” ain’t a drive for him to do. OutKast is a classic group regardless and had contributed to great music. Bump that T.I. song “Sorry” featuring 3000. It’s all gravy.

I hear what Andre’s saying, but I have two counterpoints. First, he says that he’s “bored by what he can do in rap.” Well, I’m not bored by what he can do in rap. Second, he says that he’s not “hip” anymore. He seems to be implying that he’s getting old and outdated, but, like, every time he drops a verse, his verses smash all the new stuff. He can definitely hang with the new kids. His verse on Sixteen for example. So, like, come on Three Stacks! Gimme an album, haha.
I’m with him, you can’t rush a good heart-felt album, that has to come over years and experiences in life to bring something good to the table, and if he’s not feeling it now, then he’s just not feeling it
he probly been bored since roses
