💯!! He's a very loyal friend. Big Boi never said anything negative about Andre 3k, he always took up for 3k in interviews. He always cleared any rumors about their relationship as a group, any rumors about 3k sexuality. Big Boi didn't play about 3k. I think Big Boi was doing an interview with Charlemagne the God, CTG tried to say something about 3k wearing a dress and Big Boi said " I'll slap the sh*t out ya " 😂. Shut CTG real quick. I'm from Philly, moved down south, went to visit 1 summer (1995) , and 2 of my cousins was rapping OutKast.....at that point I knew " THE SOUTH HAD SOMETHING TO SAY " 😎😎

[@gregb1374]

@Meatwad787 Big Boi from what I can remember got into breeding dogs cause it was a passion of him, and his brother. I think he gave the business to his brother. OutKast, Goodie Mob, the Dungeon Family had a tight relationship with a good production deal. Thats why Goodie Mob hasn't needed to release any new music, for years. OutKast has sold over 25 million records, before streams was a thing. In other words, them dudes rich for life lol. No financial problems, and their all still friends to this day.

This is how a health exit from the limelight looks. We need to start framing it like that instead of framing it like there's a problem. At the end of the day, he was smart and left before he fell off or before it killed him. He decided to be free and live life. The man can walk around the mall all by himself. Very few celebrities of his caliber have been able to achieve that. I consider that a success and I'm happy for him.

I once met Andre 300o in an alleyway in Manhattan when I was in 6th grade and he was doing a photoshoot. Right around that time he was my favorite rapper because I had aquemini and me and my dad used to bump it in the car. Me and a couple other kids from the area waited for him to come out of his trailer and when he did I said "I know you don't need to hear this from me but keep being creative". And he replied "well its gud ta hea it fruhm you" with that southern Georgia drawl. I'll never forget that moment. Its interesting he and I are similar in our complicated upbringing so it all makes sense now why I connected so much with his music and why we shared that moment.

Dammit, man, a documentary isn’t supposed to make you have an existential crisis- his life resonates so so much with mine.. my god, I’m in tears watching this.. I went through all he did. Being a skater in Memphis in the 90s in the hoods during the crack era. Going to schools getting jumped, fighting, seeing many of my friends have their lives taken- never fitting in.. I made music, I drew, painted, rapped, tried heavy metal, punk, and all this was in Memphis during the 90s & up.. never truly fitting in.. we used to live in key west, going to school growing up there to my parents divorcing and living in Memphis.. I don’t think ppl can understand how much of a culture shock that was. But, I wish I was strong, and brave, as Andre.. I gave in, I spiraled.. sold dope, went to jail, got shot three different times, smoked, popped pills, soft, and drank.. became a shell of myself.. mannnn now I’m older with kids, a beautiful wife, and still feeling like I never really got to do what I wanted with my life.. but I’m blessed.. daaamn man I’m in fxcking tears, this documentary man this documentary man Oh god..

3 Stacks will always be a fave. OutKasts will always be on my playlists xx Awesome Duo

[@Honestfeedback1]

It’s crazy this Doc came up, I’ve been listening to OutKast all week for some throwback music.

[@whyisntitpossible404]

Seeing him at a UK festival this weekend. Can't wait for 50 minutes of flute improv 🔥

[@whyisntitpossible404]

Life update: it got worse

[@angelakokicbrnicevic2650]

I was there, I absolutely loved it!! Wasn't what I expected and loads of people kind of left when they realised it will just be his band and flute, so I managed to slowly get closer to the stage and almost front row. I was genuinely blown away, when I let the "judgement" of 'oh it's just the flute' go, I started to actually immerse myself in the music they were making on the spot and the feelings they were creating and it was one of the most intimate, touching and beautiful live music performances I saw. What him and his band performed was a different type of genious, it was pure raw music that touches the soul with no words, and made me realise what a musical legend he is. They did not just create music, they created a whole wave of vibrations and serenity

@@angelakokicbrnicevic2650loved reading this ❤😢

[@JONAHHH03]

Absolutely love Andre 3000 and his philosophy on so many life perspesctives. His humbleness too is amazing and I hope someday to meet 3k before I pass ♥️

[@SayWhatYall]

Man. This saga made me cry. I feel so alive, now. So FREE!!! His experience lifted my SOUL.

[@katwoof]

I went through K*tamine therapy for treatment resistant depression and listened to New Blue Sun every infusion. That album is so special to me too, and I encourage everyone who hasn't given it a fair shot to sit with it more than once to appreciate the creation that Andre presented for himself and to the world.

[@phatnguyen-ei9kb]

yo, just wanna say that I love ur videos, so many incredible stories about those inspiring artists. As an Asian kid, I wouldn't fell in love that much with the us-uk hiphop, r&b, pop scene without your video. Keep it up my bro, this video made my day!

[@Volksgeist]

I appreciate that!

[@offbeatninja]

From one Georgia boy to another. I appreciate Andre 3000. ✨️

[@spencerspaceghost]

This was VERY well done. Would like to see more in-depth videos like this from you.

[@veronicajackson2025]

Andre 3000 is amazing. His style of dress was such a blessing of beautiful expression. I looked forward to seeing him online. I became a teacher in 2000 the same year Sorry Ms Jackson came out. That song made me a middle school star!

[@Begging4Change]

Thanks Andre 3000, Big Boi and the Dungeon Family for all the hits and unforgettable music! Great video, well done!

[@Gawler]

I miss Andre as much as everyone else, but I can't help but relate to him and his lyrics. I am simply unable to form meaningful relationships, while being constantly haunted by failed ones, heartbreaks and regrets. That makes me self destruct and just give up on things, suddenly change priorities, stop pursuing goals, while not being able to fully live in the moment, because passage of time is such a blur. A lot of it has to do with ADHD.

[@poindextertunes]

I’m pretty sure thats what Andre had. Let me guess, you have a hard time focusing on a task or a subject unless it really peaks your interest? then you super focus on it and nothing else matters for the time being… Thats what my ADHD is like anyways. Keep chillin man. Running everyday really helped me. Didn’t know I was ADHD until I was 30, finally saw a psychiatrist who diagnosed me, got on the correct medication and I’m now engaged to the most beautiful, smartest woman I’ve ever met and I work at our local comedy club so I’m surrounded by like minds haha 😅

[@dor4376]

I love Andre 3000 but Big Boi is also amazing, i love his flow, voice and writing since i heard them first time! He is kinda forgotten in these conversations...

[@joeroberts5826]

I don’t really think so, everytime there’s someone talking about Andre there are people mentioning big boi is underrated which is true. I’m sure he’ll make a video about big boi at some point too

[@joeroberts5826]

But yeah he does get overlooked kinda, still a lot of people comment and give big boi his flowers

[@laraoneal7284]

He sounds like a brilliant and self aware person. God bless him.

[@plusrunning]

Seeing this allows for more insight on why he is the way he is. Me being younger I never really put the expressions together. But I've always respected him even when he said he was done with music I understood back then and even more now. You have to listen to your soul and sometimes the melody changes in your life.

[@DavidWilliams-qm9qt]

When Andre 3000 said " I don't feel like I belong anywhere" I felt that

[@ChaseBurns-mu8ld]

The best Andre 3000 documentary ever!!! Thank u sir.

[@ethanoquendo1035]

18:57 I always get goosebumps when I hear his verse, def my top 3 favorite OutKast songs

[@gottadeviate]

eating dinner with this tonight!

[@daughteroftheking01]

Sameeee. Pancakes for dinner 😂

[@leightonsavary7607]

Lol, facts did the same thing

[@PhreAnbesa]

Breakfast... NOW

[@mouhchaib2161]

[@janeshortall6661]

Andre was asked to play the character of Jimi Hendrix in a film shot in Ireland. I had the incredible job of movement coach for Andre We spentdays together rehearsing the vibe, mannerisms and stage presence of Hendrix. Andre was such a gentleman, charismatic, charming and he rocked those Jimi colourful flamboyant bell bottoms and suede jackets like no other!! thinking Hendrix would have been very glad that it was Andre 3k who was chosen to play him in a movie......he totally nailed it! 🤟🍀

[@screamingsirens]

I grew up with Andre and Big boy and till this day I appreciate every single piece of music they have made. Thanks for that good video

[@Meh...171]

I can still vividly picture me and my friend taking a road trip to Cali, we were in a neighboring state. Stopped at the Warehouse and bought some Cds, uncle ATLiens. It is still one of my favorite albums.

[@l4low747]

Just watched one of yo videos for the 1st time in 4 months n as soon as I finished u dropped this 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@dixonricohopes]

This is perfectly put and represents the 3000 that I aspired to be since 2003. He inspired me to become an artist. Great Work. I just subscribed.

[@508ctk]

I'm 24 & I'm grateful to have Outkast, Big Boi & Andre 3K a part of my childhood. 🙏🏾💎

[@CaidicusProductions]

Imagine a world where Outcast never happened. Oh man, that would be a HUGE piece missing from the very soul of human expression. Andre, I was a teen in the 90's, and your music meant SO much to me. Thank God you brought the music and expression to the world like you did. If you have times when you feel inauthentic, times where the music feels fake, or like you've spent all the good rhymes, lyrics, or ideas you'll ever make, just lock it down to the present. It's how you feel now, and that's that. It can change in an instant, so don't let it be more than that. Don't think of the past or the future when you feel like this, just lock it down to now and know that it could change in an instant. Godspeed, brothah man.

[@jeffm5099]

Amazing documentary, really appreciate the work that went into this. Please consider covering the Daft Punk legacy!

[@joryyungsta]

I Can’t believe this masterpiece is getting deleted 🤦

[@drokz1113]

Man I fucking love outkast so damn much. ATLiens really holds a special place in my heart. As soon you played the You May Die intro I got instant chills. Loving this documentary already big thanks!

[@SunGoddess333]

I love them both. I’m glad Andre stayed true to himself. People are allowed to change. That is OK.❤👏🏾

[@RealIK]

Amazing video. Not only did it inspire me but it made me gain so much respect for people who cover topics like this. Your in-depth research and presentation really captivates the viewer. I've always known of 3stacks but not to these lengths. The respect I have for him as an artist has always been high but now that has bolstered tenfold as I have gained respect for him as a person. Thank you for your work and video.

[@CharmedLocks]

I'll never forget the infamous 95 Source Awards. I was just about to turn 16. Andre 3000 said with his southern swagg "The South got something to say" Back then it was foreign to me. Being an Indiana Native...The South??? Boy did they prove the East/West Coast wrg...cuz They indeed had MORE than something to say. When u started this video out with THAT Timeline, I knew it was gonna be DOPE.

[@poindextertunes]

I’m from KC,MO graduated in ‘04 and all we listened to was southern rap(ATL,Memphis,Louisiana), the bay area(mac dre/E40) and local rappers who would usually try to imitate one of those styles. Its weird tho bcuz back then local rappers weren’t really getting the love they should have from KC. A lot of jealousy. I think KC had an inferiority complex back then as far as rap goes. the rest of the rap scene just considered us country. then Nelly dropped which was cool but he didn’t sound anything like the gang shxt coming outta KC. Tech N9ne’s early stuff was very good, super dark but then he linked up with travis and focused on syphoning the hardcore underground fanbase from ICPs juggalo crowd. Anghellic was the last underground sounding album he did before going semi-pop. Now they’re the highest grossing underground label

[@snorrerathje4851]

you know what would be a interesting mix Andre and jamiroquai. I bet Jay and Andre would sound brilliant and influence fashion for years to come.

[@MB-jt9mo]

Ooof no one in the comments knows who Jamiroquai is. My favourite band of all time. 🙏

[@at.8045]

This is an incredible deconstruction of how the industry and the music can change an artist. Love this

[@nickforrester3801]

Don't blame the industry for Andre's ego.

[@LaTriceNicole-o3b]

I enjoyed this piece on Andre 3000, but I can’t believe you didn’t talk about Idlewild! It was a creative movie with an appearance from the late and great Cicely Tyson. The song Hollywood Divorce from the soundtrack is one of my favorite songs, the features were crazy…Snoop Dog, Lil’ Wayne, TI…OMG!
