Contrary to a tweet sent out by BET executive Stephen Hill Saturday (August 3), Andre 3000 does not have a solo album coming out in the next few months. “Regarding reports of a specific plan to release an album in early 2014,” Andre 3000’s rep says to Billboard.com, “there is no official confirmation on that report.”
Sent Saturday, Hill’s tweet reportedly came from a conversation the BET executive had with the OutKast rapper at an event recently.
Even though he has appeared on several songs with such artists as T.I. and Rick Ross since OutKast’s last release, the soundtrack for the 2006 film Idlewild, Andre 3000 has not released a solo album.
In May, the Atlanta rapper’s mother, Sharon Benjamin-Hodo, passed away. In June, Cee Lo told HipHopDX in an exclusive interview that he hoped Andre 3000 would channel his mourning into music. “I’m hoping this really makes him angry enough to be artful again,” Cee Lo said. “That’s what I want for him.”
Billed as Andre Benjamin, Andre 3000 portrays late Rock singer-guitarist Jimi Hendrix in the film All Is by My Side, which is slated for a September release. The movie is reportedly a drama focusing on Hendrix’s pre-fame years.

LMAO, like someone was actually waiting for this shit to come out.
…
As an accountant for YMCMB I can confirm that Andre 3000 was considering signing with YMCMB since the death of his mother. He will plan to sign with us and release his album in 2014 and help make his career pop off again and make him blow up. He has not released a album yet because he is in talks with Birdman. Him and Wayne are set to make a collaboritive album with the concept of Jimmy hendrix and rock stars.
Get a life. Seriously.
GET
OUT
OF
YOUR
HOUSE
is this your after effects of sucking dick dentaldamboy?
Outkast would sell more than the whole young money roster combined if they dropped another album obv
GTFOH
What will come out first: Detox or an Andre album?
Sadly I think the answer is neither.
There’s a better chance Michael Bolton’s Greatest Hits comes out first.
Who gives a fuck? Andre will drop same day as Jay Electronica: fifth of fucking NEVER!!!
Which is also the same day as detox from dr dre.
Well if Crooked I released an album..
^^ solid point. Black Thought is gonna drop too.
what would be dope is if OutKast, Dr Dre, and Jay elec all drop thier shit on the same day
It would be a sad,sad,sad day for hiphop.
Nope. It’d be a great day for hip-hop.
They are all just wack pop edm artists.
ja rule would never fuck with a gay nigga like this.
no1 cares just like detox its all a myth. Drake runs rap now drakes album is most anticipated every other rapper is irrelevent.
Ja Rule runs rap. drakes album is the most overrated album every other rapper is irrelevant.
Hey, Drake Stanley. How’s dickriding Drake going?
DRAKE WILL GET PLAYED OUT ONE DAY IF NOT ALREADY!
2003, the year one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time became just another guy
How is this news? Surely the news would be if there’s a definite release date. Despite that though, an Andre 3000 album would be a blogger’s dream – how come noone’s been posting fake tracklists? Practically everyone is fair game.
When he does, make it a double album with 18 tracks each side with a plethora of random features…
FUCK ANDRE3000- HE THINKS HES A GOOD ACTOR AND FORGOT WHERE HE CAME FROM…FUCK HIM!
FUCK DR.DRE- HE STARTED MAKING HEADPHONES AND FORGOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO GET ‘EM THERE..THE FANS. DOESNT MAKE MUSIC FOR HIS FANS BUT FOR HIMSELF…FUCK DRE!
FUCK JAY ELECTRONICA – JUST CUS HE SUCKS AND NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR HIS TRASH!
FUCK RAP IM GIVING IT UP YALL!
good bitch no one cares
you right hiphop and rappers suck
Stephen Hill probably messed up badly. I bet this was an off-the-record talk and Stephen (being head of BET) ran with it. I would love to see an Andre 3000 album
Fuck it! good kid m.A.A.d city in stores now, Dr. Dre and Andre 3K know what was up in the studio with K.Dot. How COULD they progress forth and ACTUALLY release something classic. It must have thrown them off when it was genuine and not forced.
my best friend’s mom makes $60/hour on the internet. She has been out of a job for eight months but last month her pay check was $15216 just working on the internet for a few hours. Go to this web site and read more… http://www.Green37.com
i will try to be resonable, but damn he really had one of the greatest runs in hip hop of all time.
What a surprise.
Just me who wonders what a solo Andre 3000 album would look like?
What a surprise.
Release date will be when I make sweet love to Jennifer Love Hewitt.
