New Outkast Album

A double album??? I had a friend on the inside sneak me some mp3s last night, and I say without hyperbole: this is going to be big. "Hey Ya" drops two beats and drops hard. Get your extra CD player out of the closet and buy a looseleaf notepad and ballpoint pen - Bigg Boy and Andres will make you sit down and listen and take notes. If you prefer mp3s, buy two Rio PMP300's. To their credit, one will not do.

But seriously folks...I like that new track "Hollywood Divorce" but haven't heard the rest of Idlewild. What is the single? Andre needs to put his Prince fantasies to rest and rap rather than sing.

I liked this blog better the first time I saw it... when it was the Outside Scoop.

When you hear this album you will rethink this blog...

This album ended rap the way Kant ended metaphysics: by splitting reality into a knowable subjective appearance and unknowable objective noumenon.

Youtube is now so popular, you should never have to ask what new singles for major artists sound like. You can just find the music video and spare everyone the question.

Fair enough.
Just so nobody else asks, the new single is apparently called "Hey Ya."

I told you that!

Man, I just can't catch a break around here!
Personally, I like the first half of their career.

If it's anything near KW's Late Registration consider me hooked up.
