I'm pretty sure I heard this on CNN bit that was discussing the relationship between politics and music ie. the response to Springsteen, Pearl Jam, REM and Jackson Browne (obvious liberals) opposing Bush.
Am I going insane or is free-love Andre 300 actually on the right???
This seems very wierd to me. I would take him as a liberal or an independent. But Outkast and George W. Bush... on the same team...shocking.
Furthermore, P. Diddy is apparently a conservative. How the hell did all this happen???
I'll try to search out some more info.

I demand links to further proof... this is too preposterous...

Andre 300?

Are you sure it's not some "get out the vote" rally that they're talking about? That's what P. is doing these days... going around with a t-shirt that says "vote or die"...

Didn't he do the music for that upcoming Bernie Mac film, "Mr. 300."

You're probably talking about this:

i think i recall OutKast say they aren't even voting at one point.

Andre 300!

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 21 August 2004 01:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I think he's Andre 3000's son.

― Wooden (Wooden), Saturday, 21 August 2004 01:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Andre 3000 was on the Bill Maher show the other week, and he's no Republican.

I mean, Jesus. The guy's a Vegan.

Interesting point. Are there any Republican vegans?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Saturday, 21 August 2004 04:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to be really annoyed by Andre being seemingly proud of not voting (see: the first few lines of his verse on "Git Up, Get Out", and his response to the Wesley Clark campaign ad where he talks about Outkast being something like "I don't vote, but that is funny"), but I vageuly recall him more recently changing his ways and deciding to be pro-voting.

Uh, Kennedy?

Is she still a Republican?

― Gear! (Gear!), Saturday, 21 August 2004 04:51 (twenty-one years ago)

P Diddy is such a democrat its ridic.

Only hip-hop dude I know to be a hardcore republican (aside from the guy that runs the "where hip-hop and libertarianism meet" blog) is LL Cool J.

― djdee2005, Saturday, 21 August 2004 08:11 (twenty-one years ago)

You know, if I was a Democrat I think I'd rather P. Diddy supported Bush.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Saturday, 21 August 2004 11:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok. woops. I definetly misheard that. Are there any Republican rappers? I am curious.

― Star Cauliflower (Star Cauliflower), Saturday, 21 August 2004 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

LL Cool J.

― djdee2005, Saturday, 21 August 2004 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

LL Cool J is not the smartest rapper. But he can lick his lips better than anyone I know.

"New Book Of Rock Lists" sez Eazy-E and Young M.C., too.

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Saturday, 21 August 2004 18:18 (twenty-one years ago)

P. Diddy is apparently a conservative.

He does heavily support the Second Amendment.

I would've guessed that guy would be a libertarian?

the first is dead, the other's career has long been dead.

"We have to get George Bush's ass out of office.. .He doesn't care about black people. he doesn't care about young people and he certainly doesn't care about all those mothers who have lost their sons in this war in Iraq... Let's register everyone to vote-20 million strong and get him out of office." -- Sean "P-Diddy" Combs, Feb. 7, 2004 at the Rock The Vote Lippert Awards

P. Diddy gave $2,000 (the limit for an individual) to Al Sharpton.

Vegans are usually anorexics in disguise. Or they at least have a tremendously neurotic relationship with food.

thank you for that shookout.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Andre 300 is, like, the prototype.

My vegan friend has the stinkiest farts I've ever witnessed. They're like invisible olfactory death grenades.

I am no anorexic. And, man, I loves me some food. MmmmHMmph.

Andre 300 is a tenth of the man he used to be now that he's fallen in with these politicos.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

now how will be the token hip hop act?

― shookout (shookout), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Is Andre 30 involved in this too somehow?

― 57 7th (calstars), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

N*gga, please! Everybody knows Andre 30's too old school for dat shit.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 26 August 2004 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Incidentally, The Invisible Olfactory Death Grenades will be playing the GOP convention too, right after Andre 3 gets done with his set.

Idon't know about Andre 3000, but Big Boi is as left-wing as it gets for a millionaire capitalist lapdance fan.
