[LISTEN: Big Boi 'Reunites' With Andre 3000 on Frank Ocean's PINK MATTER (AUDIO)]
While many (not me) ran with the idea that Big’s verse on Pink Matter meant that Outkast would soon be reunited, Dre hit the streets to clear up any misconceptions about an Outkast ‘reunion’.
So here’s what Andre’ 3000 wants fans to know…
It’s important for me to be clear about the origins of my contributions to ‘Pink Matter’ and ‘Sorry.’
I was approached as a solo artist by both Frank Ocean & Tip. I discussed musical direction with each artist and completed my verses. It was after that when Big Boi’s name came up.
I never want to mislead our audience – I worried that some would think these were Outkast collaborations.
These songs are not Outkast collaborations. I discussed this rationale with Big, Frank and T.I. and everyone agreed. That is why I was surprised to read about these remixes.
I understand that anyone can put out an unofficial remix to any song but I have an obligation to be honest with fans about what this is … and what it isn’t.” (Source)
So did that finally answer y’all’s questions about Outkast or what? 
What do you think of Dre’s attempt to clear the air?

I pray they get it together. I love my Dre!
southernplayalisticadillacmuzik!
is it a record label issue or did these 2 have an internal falling out? I mean these 2 are one of the many reasons why I move to the ATL! #BombOverBaghads #PlayersBall #TheWayUMove #Elevators
I’m thinking this may be a record label issue. Similar to N.E.R.D. (Pharrell, Chad and Hugo) breaking up just to get off their label
Its Pharrell, Chad, and Shay.
But IA….well at least I’m hoping it is a label issue. They are last of a dying breed in "my" perspective of true lyricism and music.
They are missed and needed with all this crap called rap.
Ame..to that
Amen
well one day the truth shall surface.
Ugh!! Ima need need this shit to get settled! I miss the Attic Crew/ Dungeon Family. Lets get back that old A-Town sound!
Don’t pull ya thang out, unless you plan to bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man I love 3 stacks but he need to get up off this shit. Big is your boy, and we as fans love kast. Don’t ever forget where you came from and who was with you from day one
Professional and polite.
Well..Respect is the word youre missing.
Big Boi is a Beast in his own right….I think people need understand…sometimes shhh can stink.
I was just watching a bunch of Outkast video’s the other night. Like, there are OUTKAST fans. I respect them the same…He needs to respect his brother….cause Boi don’t have to be there..when he comes to his senses…Better ask Kandi LOL Bloop!
C’mon Dre boo..you have already stated you wouldn’t be on another Outkast album unless the timing was right..you have also stated that’s why you won’t be in any videos until it has happened..let’s have the laywers get the label politics out the way(we all know that’s the real reason) and get us another Outkast album…If I have to hear another Future song where he CLEARLY sounds like he’s choking on his own vomit, i will go batty..You can’t sing either, but at LEAST Hey Ya was catchy! Stop playin!
That was a reeeeeead (in my nene voice) and that Big Boi side-eye picture is classic! You are a fool for that one Michelle!
I love them together and I love them seperately. As long as they keep putting out music.
I do too @LTS…But, respect how you got here.
I’m not a fan of that "I"sland shhhh.
Dre need to get off his high horse and produce some of that crumblin herb!
I don’t usually like older men but Dre is it!
It seems to me that Big Boi is trying to get Dre to reunite with him because honestly for me, he is not as talented as Dre.Big Boi made it seem as if Dre pushed him out of the song he did with Frank Ocean.Big Boi sounded like a straight bish complaining about it when it was Frank’s project to do what he wanted….
I love Outkast work but I loved Dre’s version on the double cd "The Love Below" because it was so innovative.I love the songs he did with Nora and Joi as well Prototype/Roses and just everything,he’s on another level and I can’t wait to see him in The Hendrix movie.
Lord I pray that they do reunite!!! This ish they playing on the radio now is garbage…not rap! I can’t even listen to the radio anymore because I am beyond over everything sounding the damn same and and having the same meaning…no meaning what so ever. There are very few artist left in the game that force you to think beyond the catchy lyrics or club beat. Roses, Bombs over Bagdad and Ms. Jackson did just that. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Lupe Fiasco is amazing, but Outkast was the truth.
their music together is classic but hey if they can’t come together again then hey it is what it is..ATL SHAWTY!
I think most of you are missing the point and what he is saying. He is not wanting to mislead Outkast fans about an impending reunion when they are not reuniting just yet. He didn’t say there wouldn’t ever be one; but that it is not the case right now because they happened to appear on a song together as SOLO ARTISTS Big Boi and Andre 3000 and not as the GROUP Outkast
What difference does it make if WE call you Andre 3000 and Big Boi or OutKast?…collectively that’s how we know you.
Don’t nobody have time for the Perry Mason nonsense …js
Maybe, he wants to be seen as an actor…and not 3000. Maybe, it is a record company issue. IDK But, the statement reads a little greasy.
its a wrap
But I was doing just fine with the reunion fantasy…did u really have to say anything, Dre?What a great time for you to start addressing the media!
3000 says way more then he doesn’t say if you listen to his verse in Sorry.
Sounds like there are personal feelings involved in this. This should make BigBoi feel weird , unless Andre cleared it with him. Kind of sound like coded language to me.
Big Boi has already commented on this, Dre will not put anything out ubtil he is ready..they have not broken up
Even if they want to get off the label it still seems strange. Almost like he was pissed Big Boi jumped on the song but didnt wanna just say it like that. There are so many unofficial remixes these days and nothing is stopping them from getting big tour money its ways to be unified without flucking with these blood thirsty labels idk seems like they FELL OUT but will never say.
Yeah, it almost sound catty in a funny way.
Dre is Gay!!
‘DRE is really feeling himself. I mean bro is dope in his rapping skills but homie don’t turn your back on your partner in crime. Keep the "A" music pumping for the entire world to hear.
I like Dre and Frank’s collaboration on the song. It’s really moving…
