In an interview with Rolling Stone, Big Boi said that his long-awaited solo album is being held up by he defacto label, Jive, who got OutKast when Arista disolved their roster. He says that both he and Andre 3000 are working on solo albums with the same production team - Organized Noize - so they've been listening to each other's tracks, and holding on to some of them for the next OutKast album. Leave it to a major label to drop the ball on one of the coolest and best selling bands of the decade. OK, Idlewild was a bad move, but it's not like this was a one-hit wonder: OutKast has earned the right to try something new and fail without being deemed "over."
