Organized Noize Denies Erykah Badu Influenced Andre 3000's Crazy Outfits

While a lot of people believe that Andre 3000 was influenced by Erykah Badu to start dressing funkier, Organized Noize tells VladTV that the Outkast rapper has always had that in him.
Moving along, Organized Noize spoke about dropping their first EP, which they said was easy to do given today's technology. When asked why Andre 3000 wasn't on the project, Rico Wade explained that they didn't want to use Andre on the album just to sell more records, adding that they're working with him on another project.
To hear more of what they had to say, including how they taught Future everything he knows about music, hit the above clip.

[@KontryBoy706]

if anybody influenced 3000 musically and dress wise it was Earth Wind and Fire, Bootsy Collins, Jimi Hendrix, Rick James, George Clinton and Parliament, James Brown, Prince, etc etc etc. I never thought Erykah was the direct influence. She was always more on the African looking tip back then

[@Scamp2x]

[@yeahisaidit5633]

Guy Guillermo real talk

[@irwinfletcher3879]

Translation He was Influenced by 70's & 80's artists being he was born in the 70's & raised in the 80's.

[@Embassy97]

Eli Ben outkast is YOUR.. FAVORITE group of all time... "the best" conversation is based off of PERSONAL OPINION... no one is the "best".. just your FAVORITE

[@MikeyBrown99]

Andre' 3000 has a solo album just laying around and don't even bother to say that he does. This man is at peace with himself. But I can't lie though, *I. Want. That. Album.*

[@kilmatik4192]

Xion I he has an album but it’s not finished... he doesn’t need it out and doesn’t need acceptance... but he’s def not at peace... he’s often depressed and has a broken family.

Kendrick, Terrace Martin, Janelle Monáe, Thundercat, and Anderson .Paak are some artists bringing that OutKast, Badu, and Organized vibe back.

[@lionelkennedy1394]

The Dungeon Family went to work in Rico Wade’s grandmother’s basement. An unfinished basement with red clay on the floor. They called it the dungeon.

Actually, Liberation was on Aquemini, and So Fresh So Clean was on Stankonia.

[@christophercarton6566]

I have a feeling this is going to be like Brian Wilson taking 37 years to finish "Smile," but hopefully it's more like D'Angelo taking 14 to release "Black Messiah," which was definitely worth the wait.

[@TONEakaSHOW]

I will say she "encouraged" him to open up and be himself more, she did with Common too, the time line doesn't lie... Erykah must have some 🔥 🔥 🔥 😻 😻 😻 💦 💦 💦

[@jessiewalker6918]

He essentially had the concept of physically becoming the music, alot of artists have done it, it's no big deal really, andre is amazing

[@jayj2583]

Real ones know Andre was on his off the wall fashion shit before he started fucking with Badu.

[@kaleahcollins4531]

I met 3stacks and actually got to talk to him for a while. He is very humble and lives a simple life. He's doing alot of projects. Actually hes doing a movie for sci-fi network. He was very nice and when i asked him how he feels about the state of hip hop now. He simply stated there's a place for all. Some ppl even thoigh what they did wasn't hip hop at a point. So he's very understanding

Ya boy was gone off something. he is normally more articulate than that. Sleepy....well sleepy be quiet on MOST of they interviews and his brother too. But Rico gone off something. Lol

[@HectorQuien]

[@xxxPdoublexxx]

i saw it

[@TidyJones]

he not really a interview hog, but that's always been his role in ONP from the jump. He was the voice/figure head. That's a big reason they got him sitting in the middle....The reason they made such classic tunes is b/c everybody had a part to play and played it well. That's why he doing all the talking

[@lionelkennedy1394]

Rico always seemed the most outspoken of the team. That was probably established from the jump that Rico was going to be out front. These brothas know what they are doing and have done great things for music.

[@WallTrapMedia]

VLAD needs to continue on the thread about how Dungeon Family were some REAL ATL hard heads(especially Cool Breeze, Back Bone, T-Mo, Big Boi and Khujo) street guy's but they mixed the trap with themes of liberation and how Future is like really the black sheep because his music is mainly about doing drugs, fucking other people's women and other types of fuckery. Future's music is good but only because I'm not an impressionable teen or in my early 20's so I don't take the shit seriously it just keeps me lit. But his music can influence people in a negative fashion because Outkast influenced me to seek knowledge and self-exploration.
