Andre 3000 Verse on The Ke$ha "Get Sleazy" Remix

Outkast Web Crew — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:17:07 +0000

Dre hooked up with pop freak Ke$ha for yet another remix of her track "Get Sleazy", this time with T.I., Wiz, and Lil Wayne. Half his verse is from the perspective of an 8-year old. We'll give you a second to let that sink in...Dre raps from inside the brain of an 8 year old. That's some mental acrobatics right there. Genius.

Stream it now on Ke$ha's site or skip all the re-tweeting and grab it now from iTunes.Read more

THROWBACK: "Da Art of Storytellin" Live in Paris

Outkast Web Crew — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:14:20 +0000

This one comes from Paris, circa 2000, and though the mics are a little loud in the video, you still get a good sense of what it would be like to check out a lower-key Outkast show PRE "Hey Ya". And you know you'd kill to have Dre's pants. He was crushin the No Shirt + Pants + Leather Gauntlets + Perm look back then. Pause.Read more

Lloyd - "Dedication to My Ex (Miss That)" (Ft. Andre 3000 and Lil Wayne) [VIDEO]

Outkast Web Crew — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 19:05:40 +0000

Lloyd's track "Dedication to My Ex (Miss That)" featuring Dre and Lil Wayne, just got an official video and it is...crazy. Wayne Brady does Lil Wayne's verses and a talking cat does Andre's (possibly as a reference to the Ms. Jackson video?). Sure, why the hell not. Check it out below.Read more

Lil Wayne (Ft. Andre 3000 and Tech N9ne) - "Interlude"

Outkast Web Crew — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 17:12:09 +0000

Another new Andre verse for you, this time from Lil' Wayne's long-awaited "Tha Carter IV". The track is "Interlude" and along with a nasty Tech N9ne verse (cool to see someone like that on an album like this) we get Dre talkin' Neon Black and Electric Gray and thats it. No Wayne verse, just a mic-dropping conclusion from Three Stacks and we're out.

It works. Listen below.Read more

Semi-Throwback - John Legend Ft. Andre 3000 - "Green Light" MSTRKRFT Remix

Outkast Web Crew — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 19:37:53 +0000

Andre's verse on John Legend's "Green Light" is a little slept on. Sure its short, but its also hilarious and loose. He's just "style-freein" after all. This MSTRKRFT remix from a few years ago takes the original and drags it through the dirt, but in a good way. Enjoy.Read more
