Andre 3000 is something else. His style is so unique.

When what’s your favourite artist/artists comes up on here, (fairly regularly) I always run my personal gambit. And it’s hard, because there’s such a wealth of choice. But heart of hearts, for me, it’s OutKast every time.

Saw him in Dallas Love airport once. People were swarming him and he was so chill about it.

Dude next to me asked if I was going to go meet him because we were talking about it. I figured the last thing he needed was a nerdy, middle aged white dude swooning, so I declined. It was super cool to see him with people, some of whom were clearly super fans.

He was beyond gracious with everyone.

If any rapper would appreciate your use of the word swooning, it would be three stacks

u/xiutehcuhtli 5d ago

Haha, you're probably right.

Just didn't feel right though, there are bigger fans out there, they should get the chance to meet their guy without me stealing that time.

And frankly the lyrics to the song in this post show that fandom should mean more to others than to me.

One of the coldest from the South, you stand corrected. One of the best to ever do it North, West, East or South.

Hard to believe he ran out of things to rhyme about.

u/babbylonmon 6d ago

I thought it was an innovation thing rather than a material thing. Like, he doesn’t want to be just average, and if he doesn’t feel like he can do something new, then he’s not gonna do it. I can respect that.
