While we originally heard Andre 3000 got pulled off the project, and then the project itself got put on hold, now we are hearing the Jimi Hendrix biopic is all systems go with three stacks taking the lead. Andre seems like the perfect actor to play Hendrix, as the movie will document the innovative artist's life in England from 1966-67. John Ridley will be directing the film, who honestly hasn't been all that impressive in my opinion. Regardless, this is something for all you hip-hop heads to look forward to in the movie world. Let's just hope Andre 3000 has [...]

Sorry for not having the music singles chart last week. It was due to being in Toronto for CMW 2012 . Here is a double bill of the chart.

Three-K has been doing his thing with Gillette for a couple of months now. His new commercial should stand out between other 30-second spots if only because they don't feature [...]

Minneapolis has a tendency to become so preoccupied with the local backpack rap mainstays that commercial hip-hop oftentimes gets lost in the periphery. Chalk it up to Rhymesayers loyalty or t
Sonaba demasiado bueno para ser cierto, pero así no más fue. Como parte del proyecto Three Artists, One Song de Converse, el estudio del multitasking Damon Albarn recibió ni más ni menos que a James Murphy (ex LCD Soundsystem) y André 3000 (mitad de OutKast). En tres días de improvisaciones y juegos con sintetizadores, pianos y distintos otros instrumentos, al final se hizo la luz. La canción quedó con créditos a Gorillaz y se llamó "DoYaThing". Puedes escucharla y bajarla legalmente directamente desde aquí . Si quedas con gusto a poco, en esta página puedes [...]
Yes, cartoon posses count.Throw a bunch of hot-sixteen spouting knuckleheads and/or fellow-traveler musos together over top of a beat or backing track, and you've got a recipe for awesome sauce, or a
Outkast's Andre 3000 , LCD Soundsystem 's James Murphy and Blur 's Damon Albarn are all in one room. Genius ensues yes? Need I write more? Yes. It would be rude not too. 'Do Ya Thing' is upbeat and full of quirkiness. No, it's not a 'Clint Eastwood' or a 'Dare', it's more of a 'Stylo' ( review here ) in my eyes. No, it hasn't got Bobby Womack in his immense coolness, but it has got a rhythm that will have your toes tapping at an alarming rate. [...]
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to room with the Gorillaz ? In the video for "DoYaThing," the track that Damon Albarn recorded with LCD Soundsystem 's James Murphy , and OutKast's Andre 3000 for Converse's Three Artists. One Song feature, you can see exactly what it's like, and it's predictably not the greatest scenario ever. The animated band's frontman, 2-D, awakens and stumbles around the house, which seems to be existing in the aftermath of some crazy party, or perhaps that's the state the place [...]
