Haven't they been saying that since Stankonia?

Wouldn't surprise me if it's true now though. Idlewind was underwhelming.

my brother sent me the link to the Sleepy Brown statement, I'm going to read it now

In particular, one member of the Dungeon Family is causing Brown some consternation. Seemingly absorbed by a new acting career and preferring to make music that sits beyond hip hop's bounds, André Benjamin has made it clear that he no longer wants to tour as a member of OutKast, and on the group's new LP, Idlewild, he raps on only two songs. Rumours that the band are to split have been constantly denied, but the view from inside the Dungeon camp seems to be at odds with OutKast's public proclamations.

"Dre should really say, 'I'm done - I'm gonna leave [music] alone for a while,'" Brown scowls. "Don't get it twisted - I love the dude to death, and I'd do anything for him. But as a fan myself, it's kinda like, Dude, you really trippin'." Asked about 10 The Hard Way, the rumoured next OutKast album, Brown is even more succinct.

"That's supposed to be the last OutKast album," he reveals. "It's supposed to be produced by the three of us, Organized Noize, and be just ten tracks - hard tracks, rap tracks. They was all for it, we've made plenty of beats for it, then, all of a sudden, he [Benjamin] don't wanna do it no more. "I just wish he'd make the decision," he sighs. "Just say it! Are you done, or are you done? Nobody's gonna be mad, but they'll be mad if you keep doin' this to 'em! He don't know what he wants to do, but you can't keep teasin' people like that. It's not fair. I hate it when artists do that! Either go away, man, or do your thing."

It might sound like sour grapes, but this fraternal advice is more a case of Sleepy doling out a dose of tough love. Families have to do that sometimes. "They're all my brothers," Sleepy concludes, smiling warmly. "We all have our differences, but that's how it goes on. That's how family is. Just as long as we're workin' on keepin' it movin', then it's still a great thing."

I pretty much thought that they were done. I hope I'm wrong though. I dig Outkast.
