Outkast add Kid Cudi and Childish Gambino to homecoming concert in Atlanta, return not as men but as gods, gods with infinite power

When Outkast’s Andre 3000 and Big Boi started up in Atlanta in the early 90s, there were mere boys. When they rose to fame in the late 90s with a series of classic hip-hop records, they were men. But things are different now that the group is headlining almost every single festival in the entire world. As Pitchfork reports, Outkast are curating and headlining a show in Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park on September 27. They are returning to where they came from, not as boys, not as men. They are returning as gods, and their power has grown to infinite proportions. Did you know Big Boi can consume worlds? He can.

Though the “special guest” has yet to be announced, Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino, and Raury have just been added to the homecoming show. Speculate if you wish, but I can tell you the special guest will be none other than Henry, the most feared man in comedy. Henry will do a two-hour set before Outkast will go on. Other guests will include John Singleton, director of 2005’s Andre-starring Four Brothers (also Boyz n The Hood), and the woman complaining about it being cold on Stankonia. Nah, I’m just playing, it’ll probably be some great Dungeon Family-related rappers and, if the world is perfect, Kate Bush.
