Andre 3000 and Bog Boi still have their very loyal fans waiting in anticipation for another Outkast studio album, however, each time both rappers give separate interviews and discuss the likelihood of another record, both sound very unsure. Many seem to think Outkast’s future is being held up by Andre 3000, and Three Stacks has even admitted his biggest concern standing in the way of recording another Outkast album is the fans’ continued pressing for new music and being afraid the group will fall short of expectations set by their own supporters. While Bog Boi is still open to another album with Andre 3000, he has focused his attention on his own solo career in the meantime, and recent reports suggest Andre 3000 is doing the same thing. Recently, a BET executive took to Twitter to claim the rapper and actor told him personally he is working on a solo album and plans to drop it early 2014. But now Three Stacks’ rep is saying the album isn’t a “sure thing.” Billboard reports:
But not so fast, 3K fans. True as Hill’s ATLien encounter may be, nothing’s set in stone. Billboard reached out to Andre’s publicist, who says nothing is for certain on the album front.
“Regarding reports of a specific plan to release an album in early 2014,” the rep says, “There is no official confirmation on that report.”
That statement doesn’t completely nix the potential of an Andre 3000 album in 2014. It just means it’s not locked in.
By the looks of the statement, we’re thinking Andre 3000 has been recording new music for a solo album, but nothing has been made official by his label just yet.
Smh. So now he’s not even sure about his own album. This man needs to get it together.
LOL.
I knew this was coming. I think it’s safe to say he’s retired from the game and will only make features on other rapper’s tracks when he temporarily misses it.
#shrugs Just holler at me if that Outkast album actually happens.
That album is never going to happen. One day I wish they would just be real and admit that. We should have known it was over when they did the whole separate disc thing.
Agreed. I guess we just didn’t want to give up hope. lol
I’m annoyed.
Andre doesn’t want to record an album.
I’m this close to not caring anymore.
Me too girl.
Ditto.
Sigh…whatever. He acts like a queen. Hasn’t been the same since he knocked up Erykah Badu.
You know the booty don’t lie!
Erykah Badu makes these dudes want to stop doing music.
How and why?
Will this man just make up his damn mind?!
Does he want to rap anymore or what?
Oh Lawd…okay I’m over it. Good luck on the acting thing Three Stacks. It’s obvious you’re done with music.
I love 3 Stacks but forget a solo album, when is that next Outkast album droppin?
