    so… he’s back with his original boss… LaFace Records.

  2. Brando says:

    Good. Now here’s hoping LA Reid doesn’t give Daddy Fat Sacks the treatment he’s given a lot of other artists on the Def Jam roster.

  3. mike says:

    he said few weeks ago dat he was still wit jive tho

    but good to see this first great lp on defjam soon i damn

    think that album will be really very good. thx in ad Big Boi’s One Half Of Outkast

  4. Shawn says:

    Been a OutKast fan for yrs. I like Big Boi but this is a bad move..
    Def Jam has become the Washinton Redskins of rap.. Pay a shit load of money for “names” instead of developing talent.. A losing formula.
    LaFace was a great label.. Because they didn’t sign rappers with 16yrs in the game and a career on a down trend.
    No hate, just truth. Horrible move even for Big Boi.

  5. mike says:

    it is not an horrible move cuz of Big Boi is a grown ass rapper/man/musicbusinessman
    like Nas, he did this move, because this label got the strongness to put in a good situation n exposition. i understand well ya point, but i think u forget that he’s not a stupid ass rapper of 16 years old. His album will not have no transformations, he just put the album throught that Defjams distribution, that’s it. and plus, it’s a one shot deal. if their is a problem, it’s on to the next one back wit Jive. so.. let’s we see what happen wit this dope ass cd on the way ! peace

  6. Nathaniel says:

    nah it ain’t a horrible move. all the nigga needs is marketing dollars. not development. with Jive he wasn’t getting shit. that’s why the album hasn’t come out, he can’t create the world around it with advertising that he’d like.

    you see those wack ass low budget ass videos he’s been putting out. ugh. now hopefully we can get some OUTKAST originality and creativity. fuck.

  7. Chris says:

    Congrats to Big Boi, ultimatley this was just to get the album finally out after label issues.
    He’s now on a roster with a ton talented MC’s both in touch with the youth and the vets who are legendary.

    The problem is Def Jam doesnt feel like developing any of them. Even the established MCs that joined deserved the Def Jam development treatment of the 80s and 90s.

    It seems like the only artist they are interested in developing is Rhianna.

  8. mike says:

    DIS NEW ALBUM WILL BE DOPE

    CANT WAIT

    OWW

    FUCK ALL DA SHINE BLOCKAZ !!! YAAAAAAAAHEAAAAAAAAARD

  9. ToiletSpatula says:

    Def Jam Sucks!
    Look what they constantly did to Redman…
    I think he actually did more work for Def Jam than they did for themselves.
    I don’t know too much about L.A Reid but he sucks dick for real.

  10. J-Dub says:

    He only signed with def jam to release his album coming out..its a 1 album deal.

  11. mike says:

    Redman doesnt put out HITS no more…

    THE LAST ONE WAS PRODUCED BY TIMBO

    and defjam had promotionnnnnnned this. DEFJAM is a label, it’s not a social network

  12. Da Business says:

    This is a good move by Big Boi, LA Ried knows how to promote a Outkast lp or in this case a Big Boi lp. Lookin’ forward to the lp.

  13. mike says:

    ONE ALBUM DEAL
    ONE SHOT
    PEACE

  14. cf3000 says:

    this album shouldve came out 5 years ago.

  15. 4k says:

    Why is he so desperate 4 a solo deal?
    We like him in outkast not solo!
    Its a shame how real rappers with substance like 3stax.common.black thought are low key blackballed on radio but here we have sir luscious left toe disturbing us with this never gonna be classic hiphop album
    Well Hiphop is in a coma and the ,major labels caused it by killing our senses with fastfood music. Black people time to invent something new because its pretty boring now!Hiphop is looking like that stray dog with all thw wounds .shot beaten and toungue out with no direction

  16. mike says:

    people talk to much about defjam as a rnb new young stars on it but come on yall

  20. mike says:

    2010 Big Boi album SOON… THEN ANDRE3000 solo album… but
    probably in 2011 ! i’m not sure he will drop it this year thus.. but hope.
    for sure next year or almost in 2012 A OutKast NEW ALBUM and LAST FOR A LONG TIME PROBABLY cuz 3000 is not focused on the group since their film. let we see Big Boi’s LP first btw !

  21. Toya says:

    So I’m assuming that a new Outkast album isn’t going to happen. That sucks because I love Andre 3000 and Big Boi when they’re together on an album.

  22. Mr.AFromThaT says:

    ^^^^ Toya, how you gon say some negative shit like that, it aint like OutKast got some kinda “divorce” or gettin marrige counciling. You talkin like Kast use the bathroom same time, they are both two different guys, they both have been trying to do this for years, the solo thing i mean, since Speakerboxxx /Love Below. But they didnt think it was right at the time,. Big Boi’s been posting on twitter bout being back in the studio, and has stated the Luscious Leftfoot is done, meaning that he could be filling in his spots on the OutKast album, While Dre tops off his album, and yes has numerous songs already made, so said by Rico Wade “OutKast” producer” but like only a handful of people have heard them, as of the interview. I “BET” that we will have some kind of word from 3 stacks by August

  23. Ac@pella! says:

    WTF??????????? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. B. Digital says:

    From what I’ve heard, the plan is for Big Boi to drop his album in the summer time. Then Andre 3000 is suppose to drop something in the Fall/ Winter.

  25. Plain Fat says:

    Everyone here is a music industry expert I see.

    Well Plain Fat is a the music business.

    Bring Outkast back!!!!!!!!!!

  26. the one says:

    I thought LA Reid was losing his job??

  27. mike says:

    2011 DETOX 2011 OUTKAST 2011 CARTER 4

    three biggest album sales fo da next year

    if all of these releases drop

    ps:
    RELAPSE 2 iz for this 2K10 yearr !

  28. Blakout615 says:

    Though this album is long overdue,im still lookin forward to it. And idk if anybody has mentioned it yet but this is technically Big’s 2nd solo album. Speakerboxxx being 1st.

  29. Blakout615 says:

    remember reading an article about 3000’s album where he stated “HATE” motivates him. When ppl say he cant do something,it motivates him to do it. Even dating back to the Southernplayalistic days,the hate Outkast recieved made them go harder. So inconclusion, PLEASE hate on 3stacks so he can get this album done lol

  30. MithritadesHD says:

    The beginning of the end…RIP Big Boi.

  31. @Blakout615 glad u brought up Speakerboxxx ….still lookin forward to Luscious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty though.

    Congrats to Big Boi for gettin the deal done.
