With each passing day that we aimlessly wander through this vast, barren desert that is Outkast-less Hip-Hop, our thirst for their return grows exponentially. In recent months, Big Boi has blessed us with enough material to get by – for now. However, this has curiously served to increase our thirst for new a Outkast project or, at the very least, a solo Andre 3000 album.
And while neither of these may ever come to fruition, it seems that we may have stumbled upon an oasis which could effectively keep us going during this interim time. DJ Ideal and Hometeam have compiled Andre 3000 is…, a mixtape full of some of the most fantastic 3 Stacks verses, juxtaposed with some rare, unreleased material and all bound neatly together by interviews and archival footage.
Though our thirst will not be fully quenched until a new album is created, this is a great piece of work, that does indeed marginally satisfy our desire for more Outkast. So until I find my way out of the desert, you can bet this will be on my rotation. Break!

whammy
easily one of the most overrated rappers in history.
@xyz
overrated??? he did fall off (take a new artistic direction) in the end there, but overrated is far from true. 3000 was one of the best in his day. you need to take a closer listen to southerplayalistic, atliens, and aquemini my good friend. ive always liked big boi’s style more but andre laid nothing but dope ass verses.
favorite outkast album everyone?
southernplayalisticadillacmusik for me

easily one of the most overrated rappers in history.

XYZ must have meant underrated
Favorite OUTKAST album
Aquimini to me thats the best one
One time for Dj Ideal, Dj Manuvers, Maurice and the whole Miami Hometeam Fam. Been waiting for this one!
Anybody doubting the genius of Andre 3k just ain’t listening.
ATLiens!
Big Boi > Andre 3000
It’s so clear now.
this shit is incredible. Very dope Ideal. Reminds me of 87 State of mind. this will be utilized on many a road trip…
@Gotty
ATLiens
and as great as Big Boi is (leftfoot is classic) 3000 is Better and could easily have the #1 spot right now if he chose

I love this mix. I think it was a great idea. Dre got the water and we are thirsty lol. Very glad that Big Boi is still holding it down though, even though it’s not the same without both of them together on an album.
@PandasNeedATreble I to also favor Big Boi more but love them both regardless. I love all the albums but Imma have to go with Aquemini. There is just a certain vibe about it that makes you contemplative.
Ay, y’all should really bring back those (C)Rank it’s…they was good hip-hop discussion, and that shit is rare lol
Do em on…
Kanye
Jay-Z
Eminem[again]
The Roots
Nas
Top 10 Wu-Tang records
Just a few suggestions, ya know
You and I, Aquemini!
Man i thought it was some new stuff!….(shuffles away disappointing)
Andre 3000 is not overrated, I mean all you have to do is listen to like 3 songs on this mixtape, and your pretty much witnessing unfuckwitable talent.
Nice, you guys should keep using this music player. it works on my Droid.
As far as favorite Outkast album I would have to go with Aquemini, with ATLiens a close second.
haha @ Dre bein ovarated.
OutKast have always been my favorite since they came out.
Is this one big file or is it cut up into tracks?
I cant stand listening to an 80 minute flattened mix.
did somebody say overrated get off the post my the best album the had was stankiona but then again i love southernplayistc
Andre Benjamin Is…
…One Non-Rapping Ass Negro.
@everyone Just Ignore these cat’s trying to rattle the cages by claiming that Dre or Big Boi are anything less than dope. We all know that these wack ass motha fuckas couldn’t possibly be serious. “Bunch of nerds on the internet slandering your name…”-Big Boi
the right foot of outkast !!!

=========================================================================
Souljah Boy fan, I presume?
if dre is overrated ther is somthn wrong wit da ratin systm.or maybe u just aint caught up yet(ie his name: 3000 yrs ahead)…..fav album:stankonia. da last1 dre rappd on. i mean really RAPPD. (spaghetti junction red velvet gangsta shit….homie went n.fav 3000 vers: return of da g. if u say hes overrated check tht out.
fave album: Stankonia……but all 4 are pretty damn dope….Andre is top 5 DOA….Big Boi’s probably top 20
an interesting crank it would be….top 10 albums or rappers this decade (i’m sayin that cuz 2001-2010 is what SHOULD be considered the decade)… since it seems commonplace for folks to say this decade sucked…. but there’s been a lotta dope ish this decade. Blueprint, Stillmatic, Trap Muzik, The Fix, Carter 2, Lord Willin, (insert name of any Kanye West album here), Get Rich Or Die Tryin, Relapse (at least in my opinion), Doctor’s Advocate, etc. etc.
Top ten period i mean how many flows does that man have and maybe when they say overated they mean over there head you older rap fans gotta remember us guys that was around for the 90s didnt have to much dum down rap like these weirdos that listen to rappers that use like in every other bar
I think dude meant overrated he was typing on his mobile phone that only have numbers and no key pad.
My fav Kast Album would have to be ATLiens, Fav song Jazzee Bell
My Fav 3stacks verse guess: By the end of the week I live by the beat like you live check 2 check/If you don’t move yo feet then I don’t eat so we like neck 2 neck.
I’m wit X, the brother is overrated. He’s a great artist who’s made some incredible music but as an MC cannot match the candor of Jeru, Stic, Pharaoh Monch, Immortal Technique, etc… (just to name a few) If you don’t agree then cite some of 3000′s lyrics as proof.
Oh Andre 3000 is such an asshole. He will never be anything but a rapper. He is a lying asshole who sleeps unprotected with women in Atlanta and sleeps with his employees. I really hope that he gets his just due. Also he is broke and cannot afford a house in Dallas, Texas to be with his son Seven Benjamin. He lies to this one girl he is seeing named Tiffany Limos all the time. Poor girl.
