  • André 3000's OutKast Reunion Jumpsuits Being Made Into Shirt Line; No Word on New Music [WATCH]

    André 3000's jumpsuits from the recent OutKast reunion tour already spawned an art show, and now the rapper announced that the messages will be made into a T-shirt line as well. Those jumpsuits seem to be the only positive 3000 took from his recent jaunt with Big Boi — he has been critical of himself and the tour ever since the end of the trek. Oh, well — on to the next thing. "You'll be able to see that really soon because people have been asking me," he says in the video below, "XXL" reported. It is actually a good idea, since the suits featured some pretty thought-provoking slogans like "Have you stopped growing?," "Life is short take more baths" and "Thinking deeply about shallow sh#t." "The response was great," he said about the fans and their response to the messages. "It was to start a conversation and that's what it's done. People started to make up their own messages. I saw so many people with black suits on. I was like, 'Oh, This is cool.'" The rapper explained that the concept grew out of having to perform old songs and not being able to say anything new on them.
