The two have said that they'll record new material together once they've both put out solo albums. Big Boi's album, ''Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty'', was released in 2010 [[ScheduleSlip after repeated delays]] to rave reviews; in 2012, he released his sophomore album, ''Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors'', which was also positively reviewed. André 3000 spent the 2010s and early 2020s surfacing every so often primarily as a collaborator for other artists, chiming in with verses on tracks such as on Music/{{Drake}}'s "The Real Her" and several songs by Music/FrankOcean ("Pink Matter", "Solo (Reprise)"). After well over a decade of speculation and anticipation, he finally released his first solo album ''New Blue Sun'' in November 2023.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The booklet for "Big Boi And Dre Presents Outkast" indicates that ATLiens is on the compilation - it isn't, likely as it was removed to fit more new tracks on.

* DistinctDoubleAlbum: The two discs of ''Speakerboxxx/The Love Below'' basically function as solo albums for Big Boi and Andre 3000 - "Roses", "Ghetto Musick", and "Knowing" are the only songs on the whole album that has vocals from both of them. The two discs are also distinct in style, particularly because Andre 3000 spends the majority of ''The Love Below'' singing instead of rapping.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In an unique way. Many are so used to Andre's extravagant, uncanny fashion sense that they're shocked to see how normally he dressed during the ''Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik'' era.

* NeverTrustATitle: Player's Ball (Original Version) is actually an edited version to remove references to Christmas. The song originally referred to the Player's Ball being a Christmas party, but these were removed to give the song a year-round appeal. The unedited version with the Christmas references appears on A LaFace Family Christmas.

** ''Speakerboxxx/The Love Below'' was two solo albums in one, with Big Boi's side being straightforward Atlanta-style hip-hop and Andre 3000's being a mixture of Prince worship and retro-styled pop.

** Andre famously subverts this, rarely putting out an album and doing less than 5 features a year, or occasionally no features whatsoever. The features he does do tend to be with larger-name artists however, making tracks with Music/JayZ (the remix to "30 Something"), Music/{{Drake}} ("The Real Her"), Music/RickRoss ("Sixteen"), and Music/LilWayne (the Interlude in 'Tha Carter IV').
** Andre doesn't just do rap features, ranging from equally-experimental pop music (Music/GwenStefani, Music/FrankOcean), to typical pop music (Music/ChrisBrown), to the downright bizarre (Music/{{Gorillaz}} and the remix to "Sleazy" by Music/{{Kesha}}).
