Obviously, André Three Stacks ain’t hurting for money. After all, he’s got a Diamond album, for Christ’s sake. Still, we’re kind of confused as to why the anti-social Outkast member has decided to take a role in this new Gillette commercial. Read the rest of this entry »

Over the past year, there has been a certain resurgence in verses from a one Mr. André Benjamin. After sidelining himself for the most part over the last four years or so, the past 365 have seen the antisocial Outkast member spitting sixteens aside anyone from Jeezy to Tech N9ne and B.o.B. to Ke$ha. And, although there doesn’t seem to be any official project in the works for the part-time MC, this Three Stacks resurrection reminded us of all the past features he’d knocked out over his two-decade career Read the rest of this entry »

“They be saying I sound like I’m out of tune. I ask them, do you cry in tune, aggin? Do you laugh in tune?”

After a career’s worth of comparisons to Outkast’s most elusive member, Bobby Ray finally gets to share a session with his idol, Andre 3000. For the second single from the Grand Hustle multi-tasker’s sophomore album, Strange Clouds, the past and present purveyors of Atlanta Hip-Hop get together to “Play The Guitar.” Read the rest of this entry »

Let’s get one thing straight: Ke$ha’s million-dollar remix to her 2010 single “Sleazy” is far from the club-bubblers T-Pain’s favorite dirty blonde pop star typically delivers. Coasting mostly on drums that sound equivalent to a mechanical King Kong thumping his chest and some Advil-inducing 808 bass, this is a flat-out rap track. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s a lil’ something for all of you nostalgic types out there. Check out this segment of The 411 Knowledge & Entertainment Show, from 1994, where a baby-faced Outkast is being interviewed and André gets put on the spot for a freestyle. Read the rest of this entry »

Oh, wow. Looks like Warner Bros. Def Jam pushed THAT OTHER BOY’S album back and look who has the lane wide open for all that Christmas cash. But Jizzle’s not tripping; he’s celebrating with what sounds like the sequel to the classic “Int’l Player’s Anthem” alongside half of ‘Kast in Benjamin, André and the one and only, Jay-Z.

Here’s the position Lloyd was in with “Dedication To My Ex,” his collaborative effort with two of game’s magnetic personalities, Lil Wayne and Andre 3000. He had no choice but to shoot a video for the song. Read the rest of this entry »

Realistically speaking, finding “the one” involves the chance of a lifetime; an opportunity meets prayer type of deal, if you will. At the transitional age of 25, now is the point in life when marriage holds cultural significance as people, still young, predicate their futures based on what feels explicitly right in the present. And that’s fine. Read the rest of this entry »

If my math serves me correctly, this is the third new André 3000 verse to surface in 2011, and second this month. Once the tracklisting for Lloyd’s new album King Of Hearts was released, one of the more anticipated tracks was his second collaboration with Dré. Read the rest of this entry »

No need to front as if Ke$ha’s relevant to what we do, as we all can peacefully coexist in our separate lanes. But when anybody can stir Andre 3000 out of the Batcave to make an appearance, we must applaud their efforts. Read the rest of this entry »

Twas the week that Kanye cancelled was on the fence for G.O.O.D. Fridays yet and still, he managed to appear on a star-studded mpfree with the rest of his emotional rap brothers. But the real story here is obviously how Chris Brown was able to fill his BlackBerry with reliable contacts for “Deuces (Remix),” including a Mr. André Aloysius Dookie Love Lauren Benjamin. Could it be that we’re fiend for his verses so much that we make a bigger fuss than needed or is he really that good? Read the rest of this entry »

It can’t be said enough that the Southernplayalistic duo from the Peach State made that list because we’re unsure if we’ll ever see another album from Stacks and Sir Lucious Left Foot. It had not a damn thing to do with talent. The archives tell the entire story of how we feel about ‘Kast, both individually and collectively. Read the rest of this entry »
