“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.”

Looks like Outkast won’t be getting back together anytime soon. Too bad, I think they would have a lot of success.

Something just isn’t right with this situation you can tell Big Boi wanna do a Outkast album but then u can see how 3000 goes out the way to let it be known it won’t be a Outkast album idk but something isn’t right even tho they both claim to be cool idk
Yeah I know, and I am starting to get annoyed with Andre now, like why does he NEEEEEEEEEEED! To emphasize that its not an Outkast collaboration “Legally” speaking, because technically it is, as they are on the same track. Some diva shit, he needs to just come clean. Noone said it was Outkast to be mean. Fuck, and these old guys says raps changed and cant get it together.
he seems to be feeling like i dont want fans that arent on blogs and online everyday to hear this and think this is outkast worthy. when they do it together they do it flawlessly. so these 2 songs have different directions from both rappers and he wanted to let the outkast faithful know that this isnt the outkast u have been waiting to hear. he not saying he not fuckin wit him, he just saying this aint outkast, this is just him adding a verse to ride my wave and coat tails lil bit.
3 stacks has like some kinda artistic integrity or sum shit, like he really really cares about that shit. if the song was meant to have both on it, 3stacks might’ve approached from a different angle or something. i also hate when u have a dope song and a rapper just wants to add a verse and release it to the world. we know its nothing, but some ppl that arent online savvy like us will think oh outkast got a new song etc.
thats my 2cents anyway
I’m a die hard outkast fan… But, hearing big boi pop up on “pink matter” seemed a bit corny and somewhat desperate on his part. At the end of the day if 3000 is not feeling the outkast reunion and is artistically enjoining what he is doing then so be it. Can’t be mad at the guy for that. We are all just spectators.
I don’t understand big boi…why did he feel the need to let it be known it wasn’t a reunion?…i think big and 3k have creative differences or something…idk
i don’t think andre really want to do music anymore. i think his heart is in acting now
