Oh yea I don't really delete people's posts in threads ngl I honestly didn't even know I had the power to do that

That's real I also think referring to Ovrkast as a "Drake producer" is crazy and a self-report, he has produced 3 out of Drake's last 60 songs and the vast majority of his work is solo or in that Mavi / Samara Cyn kind of pocket

And that's unfortunate to hear about Big Boi but it is what it is I guess

Which part of it changed your initial reaction?

That its a trademark thing not a personal thing and that homeboy had multiple years to change his name and agreed but didn’t

im not sure if its Outkast themselves or some company who represents them but regardless its some hoe s*** yea

Just change the k to a c at this point.

He was asked to change it

Agreed to change it

Didn’t actually follow through

They followed up

Gave deadlines

Gave reminders

He continued to use the name

So they are suing

surprised you havent been sued by Haji Springer yet

it's my real middle name

They own the trademark but could be lawyers acting without them being super involved

I think he proposed this and was turned down

ion really care tbh

Honestly, I look at the people who been defending them for the lawsuit differently.

Many of these people are just plain stupid, can't read, don't even know who Ovrkast is and just siding with Outkast because of hero worship. The amount of people I've seen "He very clearly named himself after Outkast" despite Ovrkast across his social media saying Outkast has had no inspiration on his name for the past ten years lol

Conveniently leaving out the part where he tried to resubmit name changes that they declined...

Lmao forreal. It's not very hip-hop

i guarantee that whatever paper work they needed to file was just one of a hundred on a desk and whoever was in charge barely looked at it.

but yeah no one ever is going to get f***ing outkast confused

Im f***in crying lmaoo

It's wack and if it was any artist that this site doesn't like then all the excuses about it being the label or their representative suing wouldn't even come up.

It’s lame for sure but I’m still spinning aquemini

Shocking because I remember Outkast having a lengthy legal battle with Rosa Parks due to their song name

He should probably have changed the name. Its not like he's that big of an artist anyway and changing it before he gets bigger would be the move. I thought he was just some twitter guy at first cause his tweets would pop up more than his music.

With that said, I don't think the name thing is that big of a deal cause it's not like Outkast does s*** or will do s*** nowadays.

Not at all and I'm tired of people desperately tryna say some dumbass s*** like

"Well why didn't he just name himself Overcast if its supposed to be for the weather to avoid the confusion?"

Yeah man. Because rappers (artists in general) are known to never stylize their name. Nope. Always spelling their name correctly.

Yeah, that's right...

Two Chains
Buster Rhymes
Ghostface Killer
Boys to Men
Black (6lack)
Ludicrous
Fabulous
Jewels Santana
Eclipse
Knowledge
The Farside
DJ Quick
Big Boy

All artists who spell their names correctly and have never stylized their names differently...

I didn't see anyone actually try to make that argument, that's pathetic

Nope.

Outkast made ATLiens, that means their good with me for life.

They made Skew it on the Bar-B, you say they SUED THAT KID?!

Bro the Outkast d***riders are coming up with the most braindead defense lmao

Deadass had a dude try to justify the confusion between Ovrkast and Outkast by saying s*** like "Our brains can automatically detect words even if they aren't spelled right or there are letters missing.

Okay...so if you see "ovr" how the F*** does your brain read that as "out" instead of "OVER"? Nigga tried to follow it up with "Well the v looks like the letter u!" So again...how does your brain go to "out" instead of "our" at least!?
