Boston suit claims creator outcast by Andre 3000

A Boston postal worker is suing OutKast frontman Andre 3000, the Cartoon Network and Turner Broadcasting for $2 million in damages, saying they ripped off his idea for an animated series about a group of young musicians and aired it as “Class of 3000.”

Timothy McGee, 33, a former art student, claims he developed “characters, artwork, storylines . . . and concepts” for an animated series he called “The Music Factory of the ’90s,” nearly 10 years before the oddly similar “Class” began airing on the Cartoon channel.

McGee’s show followed a group of young musicians “as they try to break into Atlanta’s burgeoning music scene,” the suit says.
