Dr. Dre vs Outkast for 2012 headliner

[IdiotequeThom]

TOUGH CALL, two of my all-time favorite hip hop artists... have to go with Dre though, would have killed to see him back in the day. Wouldn't complain one bit if GV ends up snagging Outkast though

[Media Blitz]

Outkast hands down. Dre live is whatever, Dre was never that good a rapper. I'd love to see Dre do a DJ set though.

Go on...

As of April 26, 2011, at 2:01 p.m. CST, Juloxx and his 18 aliases should fuck right off.

There we are.

Eminem, Xzibit, Nate Dogg, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and many many many others all owe their career to Dr Dre. If for some odd reason his "solo career" isn't worthy of headline status, just think about all the other careers he has made. I cant even think of any other musician that has brought so many other musicians into the spotlight.

Perhaps Dre and Phil Spector can co-headline.

The being right; it never stops.

[Monko760]

Dr. Dre would be fucking sick and epic, Outkast would be as well. I choose Outkast because it fits coachella more.

Kicking myself for not choosing Dr.dre though.

Good Poll

[Mr. Dylanja]

Over the past ten years Outkast has proven to sound timeless while Dre continues to sound more and more dated.

Comes down to preference. I listen to more Dre than Outkast, and feel that neither sound dated. I would much rather see Outkast at Coachella, but if Dre tours I feel that it would be something pretty epic, with a plethora of all-star guest appearances. Maybe the dated sound could also be described as nostalgic?

[Mr. Dylanja]

That's exactly what it is, west coast late 90's early 00's nostalgia.

What's the new song, "Kush"? It sounds like a 2001 leftover. His beat on the compaq commercial was much fresher.

Im on the fence about Kush as well. Actually that song has finally brought me around to accept the fact that Akon is going to replace Nate Dogg as the guy that sings the hook on alot of rappers songs. I smoke copious amouts of medication so I like the song. If it weren't for that I don't think I would like it as much.

[Mr. Dylanja]

And I don't even want to talk about that "Airplanes" "Love the Way You Lie" " I Need a Doctor" song.


That's not his beat, but it's cookie cutter pop garbage. I guess he ran out of funk to sample.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

yeah but the dude is SWOLE

[thewoodenman]

anyone answering dre on this one needs to re-evaluate their life

[juloxx]

There we are.

Wait what, really dude? Did I not say this earlier in the thread?

Hard hard hard choice right there. I think I would choose Outkast, simply because Dre would be lacking Nate Dogg.

Edit: And for the record, Dre isnt even on my sig.... though dont get me wrong, I would love to see him at Coachella regardless

Agree 100%, I dont know why he gave that song the boot. He shoulda made that into a single

I think when his son died it really threw a wrench in his spokes. Dre ain't been the same, and we have been hearing about this album since before that happened.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Yeah, that's really unfortunate about his son. How can you really get on his case after going through that? He's in a lose-lose situation, I don't think he's ever particularly liked the perfoming aspect of being a musician, much like 3 Stacks. And there's just no way this album will be as good as 2001 one was (most popular rap album ever?), it's been too long and expectations are way too high.

He's done beats here and there for other arists over the years, there all solid. Despite calling his sound dated, I still think it's classic. I really wish he would've done more than one track and Em's latest release (garbage).

WOW. i didn't even think of that. and i chose dre.. looking back now i guess i would have to go with outkast. so many hooks sung by Nate. rip.

[andrew86]

No thanks

[Bus McRider]

i can't imagine an outkast performance that doesn't involve them absolutely murdering onstage.

[DFrank]

Outkast. Especially with a full band/horns section/backup singers...I would love to end my night with that funk.

I also think Coachella's crowd would react better to Outkast singles rather than Dre's hits. Outkast is more of an entertaining performance.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

detox is literally never coming out

[Premium Roast]

I'd go for Dre, for the weed. He made some good tracks. Probably an understatement.

[cjamesgo8421]

Outkast would be more "Coachella" but Eminem would be more "New Coachella"
