OutKast Makes It Mainstream

Big Boi spoke with pride to Robert Hilburn
of the Los Angeles Times about all that OutKast has accomplished and with warmth about his partnership with Andre 3000. “Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if we had never met at the mall,” he said. “We were both just window-shopping because we didn’t have any money to buy anything. We never dreamed we’d be this successful. We were thrilled just being able to make music. That’s why we didn’t set out to copy what was on the radio. We wanted people to someday copy us.”
