Gossip & Rumors
Andre 3000 a Tour OutKast?

Posted Jul 12th 2006 5:21PM by TMZ Staff

Big Boi & Andre 3000How much would you pay for half a concert? Now... how much would you pay for half an act?

Rumors are swirling around the internet that OutKast plans to kick off their upcoming tour without Andre 3000. Big Boi has reportedly stated that Andre will not be joining him on the upcoming tour. Huh?

An announcement like this puts rumors of an impending breakup of OutKast back in the public spotlight. Those rumors have surrounded the group since the release of "Speakerboxx"/"The Love Below" a two-disc set comprised of solo albums by Andre 3000 and Big Boi.

Outkast's rep's told TMZ that there has been no announcement about the upcoming tour, which makes more sense then Big Boi touring alone under the OutKast moniker. How do you pull off "Hey Ya", the group's biggest hit, without Andre? Would a cardboard cutout of Andre on stage would be out of the question.

The, "we promise we're not fueding," hip-hop duo's new film and album "Idylwild" hits the streets in August.

5. I'm a 32 year old working mom of 2 kids and I know who OutKast is. They aren't gangsta rappers!
These two men have been working together since they were in grade school in Atlanta. Every one of their songs is a complete collaboration between the two of them. It would be like Simon without Garfunkle...oh wait, that happened...never mind...

6. ANGIE!!!! How racist can you get? You don't know who these people are but you "have a bad feeling there will be a murder or gang fight at one of their shows, there usually is..." There usually is??? How the eff do you know that if you don't know who they are???? Anyone who know who they are KNOWS how stupid you sound as they are the furthest thing from THAT as you can get.

DUMB BROAD! Read a paper every now and again so you can be informed. That way you don't come off sounding so stupid. Or... just shut up. No one would recognize you as the ignorant person you are if you just kept your thoughts to yourself.
