I’m just doing what people pay me to do, entertain. I did not go out of my way to antagonize, entice or tempt anyone. I focused on adequately entertaining and making sure people got their money’s worth. I owe them as much as I could possibly give them. I feel like I owed the people who went and spent their hard earned money on my album. The moment I start thinking too hard about what I can and can’t say, that’s when the music becomes diluted. I ain’t really trippin off that man, this is entertainment. If they want to roll up on me and search my vehicle so be it. I could stand a pat down, that’s for damn sure. I didn’t even think that much about it, I’m just making music. 380s left.” Given your history, are you possibly tempting the wrong people? However, on “Who Want Some” you tell the ATF that “you have three more. I was watching your interview with Larry King and you gave a great response to his question about gun control. If you are an admirer of music today you need to know what set the stage for all of your favorite artists right here right now to do it. And I’m gonna make sure my kids listen to it and that they know how important it is to culture.
But I know one thing, all you gotta do is let me know it’s coming out and I’m there.
That’s a lot of pressure for cats like that. Nobody wants to tarnish their reputation or legacy with a lackluster presentation or poorly received album after having such a decorated past. It’s not whether or not they want to do it, it’s whether they feel like it’s significant enough to be done. Of course we’re looking at them like we have such huge admiration for them for what they’ve done in the past, but they are looking at themselves kind of like ‘What do I mean to the young kid of today that is going out there to buy music?’ That’s what the struggle is. I was working with Doc on “Detox” and that was his same concern. Which is the same concern that I hear from other people that we all love and respect in this industry like Dr. I think his concern is do the kids right now who are young and buying music care enough about an Outkast album for it to make a difference. You had Andre 3000 on “Sorry” and you were on Big Boi’s “In The A.” Do you think we’ll ever see another Outkast album?įrom me speaking to Dre man I heard him being open to it, I really did.
