OutKast is one of the most beloved Hip-Hop acts of all time, and although the Atlanta duo has not reunited on wax for over a decade, Big Boi and André 3000‘s outfit is still as culturally relevant as they were during their farewell tour in 2014. Last month, a heated debate took place on Twitter as to whether OutKast is a better group than The Beatles, and that alone shows how beloved the classic rap duo still is today.
However, over recent years, appreciation for the iconic Atlanta Hip-Hop duo has been muddled by fans who tend to belittle Big Boi’s contributions while praising André 3000‘s. Upon the release of EarthGang’s debut album Mirrorland in 2019, YezJulz further perpetuated that toxic approach to OutKast fandom by deeming EarthGang to be a new generation OutKast with “two Andre’s,” and the Hip-Hop community was extremely critical of her perceived slight against Big Boi.
Two years later, the latest example of that problematic André 3000 romanticization has come in the form of a recent post from a Twitter user who wrote, “Has anyone ever washed Andre 3000 on a song? Because … I haven’t heard such a song.”
Naturally, that user’s tweet didn’t sit well with several OutKast fans, and several Twitter users have come forward to defend Big Boi’s artistry and give Daddy Fat Saxx his flowers. Check out some of the Twitter reactions below.
OutKast is arguably one of the greatest Hip-Hop groups ever, and both André 3000 and Big Boi deserve their flowers.

Funkmaster Flex is many things, and chief among his titles is facilitator of bars. Having been at the center of countless freestyles — including Black Thought’s legendary ten-minute session, Action Bronson’s incredible “it’s not me rapping, it’s the parrot,” Tyler The Creator’s viral bars that had Flex questioning his existence, and Conway and Benny The Butcher’s murderous rampage — the masses have come to expect greatness whenever an emcee steps to Funk Flex’s mic.
Though some have questioned whether the new generation of hip-hop talent can hold it down in the freestyle department, Funk Flex has kept the tradition alive, inviting newcomer EST GEE to the fold for some bars. Flex prefaces that he first heard the Louisville emcee on Jack Harlow’s That’s What They All Say, and the rapper proceeded to pique his interest.
GEE wastes little time in setting a tone, taking to the cinematic and sinister instrumental with purpose. There’s something about his self-assured presence that gives him gravitas on a track, adding an authoritative tone to his streetlife reflections. “I’m enormous, money hoarder / known to get it cross the border,” he spits. “Out here I’m like Jordan, all us get a portion playing for EST / they feel like I owe em’ I’ma show em if they play with me / I can’t show no fake love, barely speak out here they hating on me.”
Check out EST’s new bars on Funk Flex below, and sound off if you’ll be putting the rising Louisville rapper on your radar.
On the same day that Saweetie publicly announced that she had broken up with Quavo, she was back at work, posing for photos as part of her latest feature with W Magazine. In fact, when she sent out her tweet telling the world that she was single, she was sitting in the makeup chair and getting dolled up for her shoot. Part of the interview was conducted on the same day, during which Saweetie addressed the public’s reaction to her breakup.
“I’ve learned that the world doesn’t stop for anybody,” she said, reflecting on how her post was blowing up on Twitter. “And it’s for sure not going to stop for me just because I got my heart broke. I was grateful to be doing the photo shoot. I was like, I can deal with all this later.” She later told the interviewer that she had stopped reading the comments about her split, adding, “I could give my attention to something that could drain me, or I could focus on what would empower me. And that is this shoot.”
The interview, which was published today, deals largely with Saweetie’s upcoming album release for Pretty Bitch Music. The Bay Area-based rapper kicked off the album rollout with the first season of her Pretty Summer Playlist, which included new songs featuring Drakeo The Ruler, Kendra Jae, and more.

When the quest to win a second-straight championship is complete for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, you already know the all-time great will be celebrating hard with an ultra-rare bottle of D’Ussé Cognac, gifted personally from JAY-Z.
Days after it was revealed that JAY-Z had struck a lucrative deal with LVMH for Armand de Brignac Champagne, it was announced that an ultra-rare bottle of D’Ussé 1969 Anniversaire, of which only 285 bottles were produced, was going up for auction. The diamond-shaped bottle was valued anywhere between $25,000 and $75,000 at the time of the auction. While LeBron James didn’t scoop up that exact bottle, which was decked out with 24-karat gold foil, he received one of the ultra-rare bottles as a special gift from JAY-Z, filming the unboxing on Instagram.
“I just got back to the crib, got a package from my brother Jay,” said LeBron before opening up the special anniversary edition cognac. The liquor has been aged for over thirty years, but D’Ussé did not disclose when the cognac dates from. The “1969” in the name refers to JAY-Z’s birth year. “Ah, damn! Sheesh,” said LeBron upon opening the gorgeous bottle. “This boy like a diamond! D’Ussé diamonds are forever. I guess the same goes for Cognac… is forever. 1969, anniversary. Big homie, love. Appreciate you.”
Check out LeBron’s unboxing video below. How much would you pay for a bottle like this?

Alas, 50 Cent’s classic early tapes have to make the transition to streaming services. Truly unfortunate, given how enjoyable Power Of The Dollar and the street classic Guess Who’s Back remain to this day. And while diving into Fif’s pre-Shady-Aftermath catalog has become a difficult endeavor, relatively speaking, Fif himself has never been afraid to take his fans down memory lane in a different manner altogether.
Easily one of hip-hop’s most active Instagrammers, 50 has kept fans in tune with his come-up by way of throwback pictures, uploading a few vintage snapshots to his page ever so often. Today, Fif has shared a picture from thirty years ago, 1991 to be precise, along with an anecdote about his grandmother.
“Yo I was 15 in this picture on the South Side you have to grow up faster,” captions Fif, alongside the picture of his defiant teenage self. “I made a lot of mistakes I was already in juvie, I remember my Nana coming to see me, she is my angel. She love me unconditionally.” Twelve years later, he would go on to make history, signing a joint deal with Dr. Dre and Eminem and dropping one of the greatest debut albums of all time.
Given everything he has since built, including a substantial (and still growing) television empire, it’s always welcome to see a reminder of 50 Cent’s formative roots. And from the sound of it, he couldn’t have risen to where he is today without his Nana, who he still considers to be his angel. Check out the vintage picture below, a snapshot of 50 Cent’s time in juvie before a rap career was ever on the table.
Stephen A. Smith is one of the most outspoken commentators in the current landscape of sports media. Never one to shy away from criticizing the actions of athletes like Kyrie Irving or Aaron Rodgers or unleashing scorching hot takes like his recent theory about the New York Knicks, Stephen A. Smith has put in decades of work as a journalist to be the respected and highly paid sports television personality that he is today.
That being said, Stephen A. Smith has also ventured into the world of acting, and his most recent appearance on ABC’s daytime soap opera General Hospital is currently catching everyone’s attention. In the clip seen below, Stephen A. Smith’s character is seen saving the day by stopping an unruly gunman in a slow-motion action sequence.
Since March 2016, Stephen A. Smith has hit General Hospital from time to time as the mysterious surveillance Brick. According to Uproxx, General Hospital, which has been airing continuously since the 1960s, is Steven A.’s favorite soap opera, and he always jumps at the opportunity to reprise his role as Brick in ABC’s long-running daytime soap. Smith’s most recent appearance on General Hospital is described by Uproxx as “more dramatic than usual,” and it marks the sports commentator‘s third appearance on the soap opera this year.
After checking out the clip, have Stephen A. Smith’s slow-motion heroics inspired you to start watching General Hospital? And if you’re already an avid fan of ABC’s decade-spanning soap opera, were you excited to see Stephen A. Smith make yet another appearance on General Hospital as Brick this year?
