Andre: Yeah, my life has changed a lot. I was a vegan/vegetarian for like 14, 15 years. After our first album, we were going hard, out on the road, doing drugs, partaking in every woman, and I started to see myself deteriorate. I would look in the mirror and be like, âYou look like shit.â So I got to a point where I said, I gotta stop. So I went that way and tried it. Whatâs funny is this idea that people have of me as being straight-edge. My homie Cee-Lo, from Goodie Mob, he has this joke. Heâs like, âMan, I donât know why these women think weâre sitting cross-legged with incense like some Buddhists, praying with our hands. I mean, we out here fucking these bitches.â [laughs]
GQ: The secret reality of OutKast is that while Big Boi was âstreet,â and you guys were marketed as âthe player and the poet,â heâs always been super on it.
Andre: Big Boi is smart as fuck. We went to the same high school. I dropped out in 11th grade. Big Boi graduated with honors. When you watch early OutKast videos, Big Boiâs the leader. He always had the confidence, where I was kind of like the shy one. Big Boi can rap better than meâI always said that. If somebody said, âPick who you want from OutKast to go to battle with you,â it wouldnât be me. âCause like, what Iâma do? Say some mind shit? You canât have thoughts in a battleânobody gives a shit about that.Â
