Yes, excactly. And I wasn’t arguing I was clearing that up. And I was only being condescending because…I kinda got you mixed up with the OP. Sorry…
Andre3000 thinks he is from Mars, therefore he wants to find a “down to Mars girl” instead of a “down to earth” girl. (IIRC he’s happily married though, so it’s just lyrics)
On a side note, last time I heard one or the other of them speak they were saying that there might not be any more albums/songs together. Any word on that? I think they do great together on the songs they do together.
No problem, Pizzabrat. Thanks for the explanation.
And Kricket, thanks for the “Mars” explanation. I can enjoy the song now without without getting derailed by that lyric.
No, wait, that’s not why. It’s because I was getting off on my position being knowledgable. Or maybe its a mixutre of both. Ah, who can figure out themselves…
Not me.
Of all the lyrics to pit in that song (which I think is a great song).
The last 2 minutes or so goes. . .

Anyway, I think on the lyric sheet with the album, it says “boo-boo” but it certainly sounds like “poo-poo”.
I know he has a kid named Seven with Eryka Badu (however fuck its spelled). I don’t know if they were or are married.
There was a really good article a few months back in Blender about them and their future. I sort of felt bad for Bigboi (as bad as I can feel for a millionaire that will get laid more in a day then…) because he really wants to keep it going. Andre just seems to be wacking out big time. He wants to start some punk rock band, and make some crazy jazz jungle like SquarePusher. They were offered a million bucks for a 60 minute concert, and the article said andre turned it down without flinching in about a nanosecond. I know this doesn’t sound bad, but there was a bunch of shit how andre was blowing off Bigboi, and Bigboi had his grandmother calling andre to plead for one more outkast album. If you can read it, check it out. It’s a strange article.
I’m pretty sure Eryka Badu is married to Common.

I haven’t read this particular article but this is the same impression I got from reading a few different articles. Andre is the “cooler” of the two but definitely the least stable. I feel bad for Big Boi too.
Sometime, I just think to myself -
Don’t push me, cause I’m close to the edge.
Well, that’s just My Philosophy.
I’m listening to it again, and it sounds pretty clearly like “boo-boo” to me.
At any rate, they mean the same thing, so it doesn’t really matter.
AngelicGemma—Poo Poo/Boo Boo, what’s there to think about? Both phrases make sense in context, since they mean the same thing. From my experience, though, it doesn’t quite have the same cutesy “kids-only-say-it” stigma attached to it as “poo poo.” A grown person can say “boo boo” without being given puzzled looks. At any rate, y’all can look it up at urbandictionary.com for further clarification.
:dubious:
And just for all you art-damaged urban culture elitists (I’m looking at you, pizzabrat), don’t forget that “boo-boo” is far and away, overwhelmingly known as the name or a child’s minor injury, not as a defecation-related term.
How is pizzabrat being a cultural elitist?
Listen, I do not use the term “boo boo” in the Outkast manner. I use it in the same sense you do—to describe a childhood injury.
But I can tell you from experience that there are groups of people who use the word “boo boo” to mean “shit,” and it doesn’t quite have the same connotation as “poo poo” does in the mainstream lexicon.
Where’s the cultural elitism in that?

That should read “as a child’s word for injury,” not “childhood injury.”
I dunno, maybe right around here somewhere:
Well, you’re wrong. Great, great song.
I think the double album was the compromise because Andre wanted to do his own weird stuff.
I think Speakerboxxx is the more consistent (and better) of the two albums, although it doesn’t hit any of the dizzying heights of “Hey Ya” or “Spread.” I think Andre is doing what a lot of musicians at the peak of popularity find themseves doing, which is engaging in every goofy-ass thought that enters their head without consulting their internal editor (or an external editor for that matter), in part to exercise their creative freedom and in part to see how far their audience will follow them regardless of the crap they pump out. (In Utero comes to mind.) That’s why there’s more misogany and scatology flying around Speakerboxxx than you can shake a stick at – Andre is trying to frighten off his fans and/or testing them. I think if OutKast wanted to, they could write their ticket by doing a series of standard-length albums with each member contributing half the songs so long as BigBoi is allowed to pick which tracks make the cut. But I doubt Andre would accept that kind of loss of control. Of course, they’re the ones with the grammys, so what do I know?

Well, even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die, horoscopes often lie.
Nothin’ is for sure, nothin’ is for certain, nothin’ lasts forever.
One thing has nothing to do with the other. Musical taste and political views are two different things.
Fuck you for bringing it up in this thread where it doesn’t belong.
