![]() That was a leak that got nominated for a Grammy. "Royal Flush" was supposed to be on the album. We're gonna keep one of them for the next OutKast record. ** **Let's talk about how the records you made with André for Sir Luscious came together. Dré tried to have a talk with Jive and they said, "No, we can't. And the only honorable thing they've done is allow me to do that. But how you gonna tell me to go bite another MCs style? How are you even going to open your mouth up to tell me to go and do that? That's the highest form of disrespect ever. That was my favorite song when it came out. You see what I'm saying? They told me to go in and make my version of Lil' Wayne's "Lollipop"! I love that song. I mean, Jive Records had "Shutterbug" for three years. It's stupid business and it's stupid politics. ![]() André 3000 "Lookin For Ya" **Can you speak a little bit about your frustration here? What you're saying is that you and your friend from high school can't rap on the same song and have it get an official release. No "Royal Flush," and no "Lookin For Ya." What gives? This morning, the tracklist for the final version of Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty hit the internet, and none of the songs you've recorded with Dré are on there. (Jive Records declined to comment.) -WILL WELCH We got Big Boi on the horn from Atlanta to break down what's going on. Yet OutKast, as a group, remains signed to Jive. He then went and signed a solo deal at Def Jam, who are releasing the album on July 6th, 2010. That's no longer the case, and it turns out it's because of music industry tomfoolery: Big Boi was initially slated to release _Sir Luscious _via Jive Records, but none of the proposed singles would stick at radio, the album never came out, and eventually the label released Big Boi from his contract. Big Boi has played us four different incarnations of Sir Luscious since 2008, and collaborations with André were always part of the running order. Conspicuously missing were any songs featuring André 3000, the other half of OutKast. This morning, the final track list for Big Boi's long-delayed debut solo album _Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty _hit the internet.
