Andre 3000 Album Not Planned For Early 2014

    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.

    1. 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.

    2. no1 cares just like detox its all a myth. Drake runs rap now drakes album is most anticipated every other rapper is irrelevent.

    3. 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.

    4. 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!

    5. 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

    6. 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.

      1. 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
