No one breaks out of the 16 bar structure like Dre. No one. Here he is demonstrating on "Sixteen", his collabo with Rick Ross on God Forgives, I Don't. Listen to the track HERE.

We told you it was going to happen. Frank Ocean's "Channel Orange" featuring a contribution by Andre 3000, is available on iTunes now and streaming on Frank's Tumblr. Think of a better project for Dre to be involved in right now...don't worry...we'll wait.

Frank Ocean's major label debut is on the way, and Andre 3000 will be a guest. He'll be both rapping and singing on Channel Orange, out July 17th. Check out a non-Andre track and get ready for the real thing.

Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. November 15th. Try to be still until then.

Andre did this Spotify Style Soundtrack as part of his campaign for Gillette. You should check it out to hear Dre take you on a personal journey (with a running commentary from Dre himself) through a slick collection of "Style" related tracks including RL Burnside, Bad Brains, Squarepusher and Joe Jackson. Check it out and catch some style through your ear holes.

Big's got a new track with Theophilus London and Tre Luce called "She Said OK". It's a dirty stankin classic. Listen/download now.

The 13-minute version of this track is real, and you can stream it right now over at Stereogum. Do it, the extended version breaks into a psychedelic rock freakout, and Dre leads the whole thing with reminders of different ways that he is, in fact, "the shit".

BOOM. It's here. The video for "DoYaThing", featuring Andre collecting sweat and hiding WHERE YOU KEEP YOUR FOOD. Watch it now and try not to beat anyone with those mean converse(s).

Edit: Download "DoYaThing" now on the Converse site.

"DoYaThing", featuring Andre 3000, Gorillaz and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) is streaming right now over at Listen Before You Buy. Speaking of buying, you can buy it on the Converse site starting tomorrow.

"talkin' bout 'uh he don't rap enough', well y'all rap a lot, and i'm like, 'wrap it up'." Prepare to have your mind blown again and again with this verse. Wow.

BONUS: Check out this interview with James Murphy where he talks about working with Andre, "You know how you think you're going to meet André and he's going to be totally cool? He's actually way cooler." and he also talks about the 12-minute version of this track, which is basically everyone just jamming together. Sick.

Check out this quick behind the scenes video for Dre's upcoming Converse collaboration with James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) and Gorillaz called "DoYaThing".

Nothing really from his verse, but if you look close, you'll see his part of the video at the :50 second mark. There's also this amazing illustration. We're 98% sure that's Andre on the right rockin the Rorsharch-y joint on his face.

Dre jumped on a version of Jeezy's "I Do" with Jay-Z and Drake and...well, it's great. "If we ever whoop da whoop, I want all that bleep da bleep". Yup. That's what he said.

Check out the track right here, especially if you've been fiending for more of that "International Players Anthem" flavor.
