Probably the reason he got trucked by Killer Mike in the first place, trying to make it about himself and exert authority over him by blocking his path.

I'm extremely happy for Mike. 20+ years since his first win.. with Andre (and Big Boi). Now, he won it with Dre again. I also love how Outkast got him through the door with a Grammy, and now he's sorta paying it forward thro Eryn Allen Kane. Very well deserved.
I wouldn't be too worried about the "arrest".. He knows his rights. He will be okay. I just hate that they had to ruin his night and try to dull his shine. Hopefully, a lot more people hear the album and give his discography a chance because of all this.

when better treatment means while you're accepting a grammy award, to point out how your wife has received the most grammy awards ever and needs to stop being done dirty by the grammys
I'm not even saying he's wrong, or that she hasn't been snubbed for aoty, but given the timing, and that they have something like 50 grammys combined, to act aggrieved right then came off kinda entitled and whiny

no guarantee you get cuffed but you can still cause enough of a scene for it to be a story.
then hashtag grammys after bragging about your wins and how they can try to take your freedom but grammys are forever
yall really aint good with this “any news is good news” PR bidness.
just seems weird to get arrested on these weak ass charges right after winning.

And said a bunch of problematic shit while on it. Which he promptly walked back afterwards.
I think the overall issue is that Killer Mike has made no secret about wanting a seat at the table of power (especially in Georgia), sees being a capitalistic force will help get him there, and thus has made some mistakes in pursuit of that end. Like not supporting Stacey Abrahams. And bigging up Kemp.

...in her 2022 Gubernatorial bid. He didn't endorse Kemp, but he certainly kissed his ass regarding some of his policies. And then stayed silent when it came to Abrahams. Then some took issue to some of the lyrical content on "Michael," particularly "Talk'n That Shit."
Full disclosure: I thought "Michael" was the best album of 2023 and "deserved" to win the Grammys.

May not have used the word "scared" but he definitely implied that he was on some level anxious about getting back on the mic for a full album. I'd have to look up exact quotes but I don't think I'm making that up.
76. "It's based on what he said out of his own mouth, son." In response to Reply # 58 Tue Feb-13-24 07:47 PM by Boogie Stimuli
I'm not speculating or pulling this out of thin air. He outlined in the interview about the album that he was essentially afraid of releasing music that wasn't welcomed with huge fanfare. He doesn't wanna be just another talented person releasing music on the internet, not "catching the zeitgeist of what's going on" in his words.
So nigga YOU get the fuck outta here with this bullshit where you get dismissive because you either too dumb or lazy to understand why a point is being made. You and Hitokiri both. It's like yall niggas can't find a legit disagreement, so yall's hatred just explodes at random times lmao. Weird ass niggas.
"Disrespectful" to say the man is scared. He's a human being, and HE said it in so many words his damn self. It's actually pretty normal for people to be afraid of being treated normally after they've been to the mountaintop. Kanye is a great example. Bruno Mars spoke on his fear of falling off in a Breakfast Club interview. But somehow I'm "disrespectul" for pointing out how Andre's language spoke to the same fear. Lol. Yall niggas ain't all there. Just like you called him one of the gretest to do it (rapping) he's aware so many people feel that way about him. That's why he's so comfortable with this new direction, because he gets to hear himself "be a baby at something" and there's no expectation of greatest where you're a beginner. So simple, but so complicated for niggas who can't connect dots I guess.
an extremely amateur album at that where folks lied to themselves about tons of folks sampling it and making hot ass beats.
I think folks don’t want to admit 3Stacks has some issues with carrying a while rap album by himself.

80. "Exactly. People who didn't really read his comments thought he was " In response to Reply # 76
"uninspired by the hip-hop/rap game of today". I think that's a fan sentiment that they're projecting on him, instead Andre said some weird shit. I couldn't tell if Andre was expressing insecurity, sarcastically dissing rap, or both. I would have respected it if he was simply disinterested in rapping, he's human. But where is the proof that we WON'T accept Andre rapping about whatever he wants?
It's cool there are quite a few other mc's that I've been a long time fan of that are peers are releasing music.

When dude did his doc, Trigger warning, I was all for it until after stating how black folks need to better support black businesses he reveals the entire production crew is non-black and his manager was some Jewish dude.
It was such a slimy ass move especially when 80% of viewers were black, it was like a pro-blakity black black dude who’s always talking about how Black men & women need to come together yet he color struck and/or dating/married to a non-black woman. Killer Mike IS that nigga.

I think we should buy Black more often if possible but it will never be ONLY but Black because that isn’t realistic.
I watched the episode on this when it first came out and it didn’t bother me at all. I thought it was entertaining and highlights how hard it is to buy Black for everything. Hell, I thought it showed that its damn near impossible to do unless you have a ton of free time to travel all over the city for specific products
but he did a good job showcasing some Black businesses IMO.
