A couple of weeks ago, DJ Drama said he was having a tough time getting Andre 3000 in the studio to record an Outkast Gangsta Grillz mixtape. Now Dramatic might try asking none other than Q-Tip. It seems like the members of A Tribe Called Quest and 'Kast want to do a super-collaboration.
"I was talking to Q-Tip the other day, and he said, 'Come to the studio,' " Andre said. "I was going to ask him if it would be all right to do me and Big Boi and Tip and Phife [Dawg] on one record."
And the Tribe MCs seem game.
"I was just in L.A., and we went to Big Boi's [video] shoot for 'Morris Brown,' " said Tribe's Phife Dawg, who definitely wants Outkast to appear on his upcoming solo LP, Songs in the Key of Phife. "I view them as one of the most amazing groups ever. They never were followers. They set their own path, they made their own lane in this game, and you always have to appreciate that. That's what makes true artistry to me, when you take risks."
So what's up with that Gangsta Grillz mixtape?
"When I was talking to Drama, he was going to get a lot of the underground stuff, like what people don't know," Big explained, with Andre 3000 sitting next to him. "The songs that we've done, songs like 'Tough Guy,' that we did with [UGK]. Or songs that we've done that nobody's heard, like the Gwen Stefani song that might not have gotten out to everybody. Kind of put a big mega-mix on it, just really giving people a taste of music they have never heard before but that's already out that you could get." ...
