Whether it is Andre 3000, Three Stacks, Andre Benjamin, or the strange dude from OutKast, the level of talent in this ATLien cannot be denied. But in a recent interview Andre says that he doesn't take too kindly to the praise from his fans.
"Man, I really appreciate that people appreciate what I do, but I don't like that type of pressure," Andre 3000 said to MTV recently.
"I hate it, to be honest... I cannot save no whole rap game," Dre continued. "I mean, the rap game has to save itself. Everybody's saving it. People like Lil Wayne is saving it. He's bringing energy to it. You cannot put that all on one man, especially me. I write a verse every year. You can't do me like that."
Andre says that his greatest motivation is the people who say "it" can't be done. He flashed back to the beginnings of OutKast's mainstream success in the early 90s when he says he faced a lot of opposition.
"I work best when people doubt me. Our whole OutKast career has been built on people doubting us. [Fans] up North hated on us from the get-go," he said. "We wouldn't be OutKast if people didn't understand what people would call weird. You know none of that would've happened."
"If you see me, tell me I'm wack. That's the best thing you can do for me. You know, if you want a greater album, say that. Say that!"
