Andre 3000 Not Here for Pink Matter Remix


A few weeks ago Outkast member Big Boi jumped on a remix of Frank Ocean's Pink Matter sparking rumors of an Outkast reunion [click here if you missed that].

Not only was this not a reunion, Andre 3000 sounds a little salty that it even have happened...

3 Stacks tells Spin Magazine exclusively,
"It's important for me to be clear about the origins of my contributions to 'Pink Matter' and 'Sorry.'
I was approached as a solo artist by both Frank Ocean & Tip. I discussed musical direction with each artist and completed my verses. It was after that when Big Boi's name came up.
I never want to mislead our audience - I worried that some would think these were Outkast collaborations. These songs are not Outkast collaborations. I discussed this rationale with Big, Frank and T.I. and everyone agreed. That is why I was surprised to read about these remixes.
I understand that anyone can put out an unofficial remix to any song but I have an obligation to be honest with fans about what this is … and what it isn't."
