Prince acting like your big brother. That is a serious compliment.

[@trapmuzik6708]

He don't even know them like that but Dre said Prince always got something critical to say

[@WarrenHolly-sf5mo]

I have been mia so is Dre back performing?

[@timothyb3121]

​@trapmuzik6708 .Critical to say? Did you even listen to the clip, or are you just making a comment just to make a comment?

[@ohdamnman]

And I have to say if I were a musician of any caliber that Prince would have anything critical to say about my work I would welcome the criticism. A genius talent like his doesn't have to look at anybody's work he's too involved with his own so for him to take the time to tell me something to make me better please do and thank you

[@trapmuzik6708]

@timothyb3121 yes in an interview Dre said Prince was critical of his work he said "hey ya" reminded him of himself n Dre can't go wrong by mimicing him Dre took it as a slick shot

Outkast is just a rap group that cant be duplicated like not even in 1,000 years i dont think Andre knows how legendary that is

[@therealempresslorrib8111]

He knows!!He said he rather be normal and happy.He said in an interview he asked God to remove that lifestyle from him bcuz he was miserable. I Respect my Favorite Artist 🌟

[@michaelcorbett4236]

If Outkast is just a rap group then it's a rap group with people scratching their heads saying "I didn't know a rap group could do that". They are one of the most unique bands in the world.

[@koolmaaan]

You post is nonsensical. It shows how much Prince respected Andre to call him, but it shows how humble ANDRE is that he doesn’t think that much of himself as an artist.

[@Bob-fj7lr]

In a sense that was the issue. Big Boi is the same way too, basically a glorified paparazzi/influencer himself. In 2014, and you're Andre and you're still not confident 10000% on stage and you're decades removed from your best shit and people STILL line up to see you and OutKast legit could headline Coachella tomorrow, like... You gotta act like you're God if you're Andre

Just to make sure I didn't dream this. I humbly request that someone have the host to ask Andree 3000 does he recall at an award show that he was sitting close to prince the 3 of us was all like 5 to 10 feet apart. I'm a nobody I'm just there. Andree got up to go towards the stage and Prince stopped him and gave him a complement on the fit he was wearing. If anyone knows anything about Prince he dressed his ass off. To get a complement on your fit from prince IS THE HIGHEST. Much love and respect to both.
