Book called outliers by Malcolm Gladwell points out how all the outliers ( you can call them stars in this case ) needed someone to become who they are .. no one person is solely responsible for their own success .. they had to grab influence or the direction from someone . It’s a good read
All Truth. I been saying this for years everybody say I’m trippin. Biggie would not have been as big without Puff. Puff crafted that persona. Knew what type samples to put him on. That whole playa image. With OutKast 3000 definitely needed Big Boi . Charisma is king.
Why have I never heard of this man. Everything he said in this interview was all fact. If you really just listened, He just gave us the play book on how the move and deal with people. GAME TIME 💪🏾
I heard him in another interview saying big boi was the star and not 3000. 3000 needed big boi and big boi needed 3000. 3000 more lyrical and more artistic as far as him looking exactly like an “outcast” but NEITHER one of them are bigger than the group. Both are stars and I think hold equal value to what made OutKast who they were and are. Big up to big boi for keeping that OutKast name alive with steadily dropping music and still touring.
@@chubbyyogi1753 word, he was basically sayin that andre was talented but aint rly want superstardom. That nigga big boi is always on the scene. Cuz he naturally is a charismatic guy.
He’s all off on this, being an introvert/extrovert doesn’t make you a star. Jay z, biggie, and 3k were all stars. Like what, just bc they aren’t as outgoing doesn’t determine their stardom
I really appreciate PK’s take on this and he’s absolutely correct. However, I can’t agree with him about Andre 3000. Especially in the beginning. I’m from New York City and when Outkast dropped in 94 I remember everyone thinking that Dre was the best one in the group. However, once Dre got turned out by Erykah Badu and became a hippie, Big Boi became more relevant to the streets. Andre on Get Up Get Out, Skewie on the Barbecue, Elevators, So Fresh and So Clean tell you who was really that dude with the rap flow and lyrics. 3000 was a monster in his prime. Facts 💯✌🏽
but 3stakes always said big was better than him big has always been underrated because of his approach he makes it look so easy that u have 2 listen a couple times 2 appreciate it. 3 needed a brother out of big more than anything and he did that
3000 is a better rapper then Big Boi in my opinion but 3000 seems more like loner/introvert. He needed Big Boi swagger to reach his potential...Ken speaking facts.
Let 3stacks tell it Big Boi issa better rapper and always has been. André is the interesting artsy fartsy one. Both are well aware of their dynamic. That's why it works so well.
@@williamparker9910 the only thing that separates them to me is that you can't put 3000 in a box he's more than likely to do something you've never heard wit Big Boi you going get the same vibe.
Yall have to think about outkast in the beginning if you're old enough. Andre was not a loner or any of that. That came outwardly came along later. They had 2 distinct flows and content and that's what made people prefer one over the other. Tbh I was always team andre but liked them both.
Thank you PK, before Jay rode Kanye he used UGK to break into the southern market! I'm 44 nobody downsouth was listening to Jay-Z until big pimpin and then the record with Jermaine Dupri! Tupac, No limit DMX, Snoop, and Wu tang controlled music before Jay-Z took over the game!
Ken is telling the truth. It’s logical not emotional. Take the emotional attachment to these artist & look at it logically. He’s 100 percent spot on. Really listen to what he said
@@nickjones3860 So starting Attic Crew signing Youngbloodz Jim Crow which includes Polow da Don and Big Floaty. Is a being mad. Do you know the deals he was behind in the game? A lot of your favorite artist & Execs has to go to Ken to reach people

The youngbloodz & tip were both under Laface/Arista through Kawan Prather production company “ghetto vision” Attic crew is like Dungeon Family a collective which was Founded by Pretty Ken & included The Youngbloods(Sean Paul is Ken 1st cousin) Jim Crow (Cutty Polow Da Don) Big Floaty and a few others.

This man is literally saying Jay-Z is an average rapper. Jay has been spitting timeless lyrics since Reasonable Doubt. Dame understood that and, with Biggs, brought the business side to Roc a fella. Problem was no one around Jay had the vision or maturity to understand how to “next level” the mission. And that’s why Dame got left behind.
It’s funny people will always take up for the people they like wrong or right… im from Chicago and 95 percent of us Chicago mfuckers still got R Kelly back real talk
I won't say Jay doesn't have the talent or some starpoewr...but he surely did shine brighter when he was attached to a lot of STARS and dropped them soon after LOL - Jaz O, Foxy Brown, Dame, BEY!
Ken usually spot on, but I don't think Andre needed Big Boi any more than Big Boi needed Andre... Neither of them woulda been a successful solo artist at the start.
That is a damn lie. They're both good in their own right. If they kept at it they would hv been successful. Only thing is Andre's personality is abit at odds with the hiphop lifestyle, he needed real dudes that supported him and allowed him to be himself. Andre is damn near 50 and scared to put out solo stuff, he would hv been a mess as a solo artist. Skills would have been top-notch but not sure if he could have handled the life.
@@kaydee1485 If they had both been solo in 94, both flop...(at the start) That's why in your reply. You said "if they kept at it" because you actually agree with me.
In that climate in the 90s Big Boi could've easily came out as a solo artist and been successful due to his relatability. Andre could've too because at the onset he wasn't so far out there, however, if he would've went solo and made the transitions he made in the group, I don't know how successful he would've continued to be as a solo artist without the grounding rod of Big Boi. Just my opinion.

Puff created that persona. Those R&B samples. Puff knew how to package it. Without Puff I don’t think Biggie would have been as big. I been saying that for years.
The IT factor is a talent but that doesn't mean the person is actually talented... They just possess that natural gift of attracting people and their attention.
Puffy N Dame Dash Was A Bigger Draw 2 Grab The Attention Just Like Bushwick Bill Is 4 The Geto Boys 2 Catch Your Eye,but Then The Light Was Shed On Biggie,Jay Z,Willie D,and Scarface They're True Stars It Just Took Something 2 Make You Recognize It First,but A 2 PAC R Pimp C Just Stand Out As Soon As You C Them U Know That's Somebody!!!!100
Ppl dont understand why Puffy is as big as he is. And how important he is to this hip hop shit and the shift of it. I understand y tho. But i think Puffy did a lot of good too.
Not what he’s saying. It’s without a doubt Jay wouldn’t be Jay without Dame, and he’d tell you the same thing. He knew he could use Dame to get in positions, it’s not a bad thing it’s a business thing
Nah, it's more about the alchemy that happens when certain combinations of people come together. Remove 1 person from the equation and things change, and many times for the worse but not always. 3000 & Big Boi both were needed to have what we loved about outcast, and the same can be said about Jay Z and Dame. Without the both of them, what we loved about the Rocka Fella records movement wouldn't have have been able to happen, nor continue to keep going. Same thing with Mobb Deep, we love Havoc, but it's not the same level of potency without Prodigy. Even prodigy's solo album though being dope, wasn't the same potency the group releases with havoc on them were. So none of these individuals were expendable.
-1 dont think Ken trippin I just think he drunk. or something...he wasnt explaining it clear enough. He didnt say much more than the first time he said Andre 3000 needed Big Boi

First off jayz is a fucking MEGA star! I seen him a few times and all the stars that was there was more excited than the crowd
Because of dame and beyonce
He’s the one who made Beyoncé elevate her game. Far as dame they where all equal partners. Jayz was the rapper so of course he had more Leadway.

Why hasn’t star Dame find another Jay or Star Puffy find another Biggie . The way I look at it BIG made PUFF and JAY made DAME
