Beyonce is keeping the features light on her upcoming album 4 (due June 28th), but she’s including a coveted guest verse from Andre 3000. The international superstar is currently revealing the tracklist for her upcoming album on her Facebook page, announcing that Three Stacks will appear on the song “Party.”

as well as the remix to Ke$ha’s “Sleazy.”

Why does beyonce look white in this picture? Nothing wrong with white women, jus sayin.
Illumanati are only allowed to mary white women.
Hey Ya im on my Andre 3000
im all good now and a nigga dont need counseling
i love Andre. simply cuz he jumps on tracks he likes. not shit hes been paid todo. like back at his Outkast Cd’s hes only on about half of em. simply cuz he didnt feel the message. oh yeah and Beyonce. you look like Britney spears in this pic
When did Andre not appear on Outkast songs. Unless you talking about Speakerboxx when they did separate albums I must have missed something.
They didn’t have solo songs on they albums. Him and Big Boi were on every song.
Idlewild had some solo songs from both of them, and “Slump” off Aquemini only had Big Boi rapping alongside Backbone and Cool Breeze.
Another uninspired pop release. Can’t wait to hear it.
u didnt hear it but u know that its uninspired… haha get a life nerd
what the heck is beyonce putting out an album cover like that, looking like christina aguilara or something? black is beautiful. i miss the old beyonce. she’s turning mariah on us.
At least Mariah actually has a white parent and is bi-racial.
What’s Beyonce’s excuse?
Beyonce pullin an MJ
Damn Beyonce where is the Jay Z feature?
Im personally glad hes not on her album , dont get me wrong i love jigga, but i dont think they should do to much HUSBAND/WIFE collaborations,too predictable ,(plus they’ve already done that) I think they should keep their ‘music seperate now, we know they love each other and all, so lets keep it at that..
She aint ordinary bruh! 12 songs with song titles that I bet have all been used before, cant wait to see who she copies next- MoneyMusic410.Com
your site sucks!
AHHH! My eyes! Can’t…stand…the whiteness of it all!
andre 3000 is a chump. whats he done since the love below? a whole lotta bullshit guest verses. big boi last album was fire. big boi still got it. wheres outkast? how long they gonna wait? i assume big boi is waiting on andre to get his shit together. and that doesnt seem likely. heres another bullshit feature for andre. nigga overrated as hell, basically been retired the past 5 years. i cant even remember the last andre verse i liked. that deuces shit was TERRIBLE. its time niggas start showing respect for big boi, hes the best rapper in outkast, and he wasnt corrupted by the money/fame. still the same nigga. andre, sad case.
Fuck you…
Damn, this comment section is filled with idiots. Go back and listen to Southerplayalisticcadillacmusic, Atliens, Aquimemi, Stankonia and even Idlewild was pretty tight.
ANDRE IS BROKE AND CHARGES A FEE TO ARTISTS WHO WORK WITH HIM. THAT IS THE ONLY INCOME HE HAS RIGHT NOW. HIS FILM CAREER FLOPPED AND HE CAN’T SEEM TO GET HIS LIFE TOGETHER THESE DAYS. SUPPOSEDLY HE BORROWS MONEY FROM HIS RICH GIRLFRIEND TIFFANY LIMOS BECAUSE HE HAS NO MONEY. HE FRONTS LIKE IT BUT HE REALLY IS A CHEAP NIGGA.
….fuck you….
Youre retarded…All artists charge a fee to anybody for their work. Read this and read it carefully. Andre is in the music BUSINESS not some after school playtime activities.
I AGREE WITH ANONYMOUS… ANDRE IS A SAD CASE. ANDRE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO MAKE IT BIG IN HOLLYWOOD BUT HE DIDN’T PAY HIS DUES AND ANDRE MAKES GHETTO BUSINESS CHOICES LIKE HIRING FRIENDS TO RUN HIS BUSINESS. ANDRE DOESN’T LOOK AT HIS MONEY EITHER. ANDRE IS TRULY A SAD CASE.
….and fuck you too.
You sound like a jealous ex gf.
What are you talking about? Outkast has had some of the highest selling albums in hip hop. Hes paid and thats most likely why hes taking time off to spend it with his family these days. Outkast has more classic albums than any other hip hop group in history.
I like how people say Andre is broke. Um, “Hey Ya” is the one Outkast song that gets massive mainstream airplay, highly doughtful the man is broke. I’m more concerned about the name “Three Stacks”.
FUCK EVERYONE HATING ON 3000. HE’D STILL RAP CIRCLES AROUND YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST
What if my favorite artist is lupe fiasco?
Then you would have to be a sucker for anyone who watches the news and knows how to rap. Lupe is more misguided than a Tea Party conservative.
The real question is Why is Ric Flair on her album cover? The other question is, how many fuckin’ advertisements and pop-ups can one website possibly have?
Andre 3000 can come out with a cd tomorrow and it’ll sell. the people hating on him have obviously only heard his mainstream shit. you people who think he’s broke are dumb as fuck. Beyonce is PAID! And she has one feature on her album…and it goes to him. Think about it.
Fuck the album…the real story is the human chameleon beyonce. She’s white now?
I would like to hear that 3 stacks collabo. I’m not really looking foward to this album. Did you guys hear her first single. That Kim Kardashian song sound better then that. How did she even think that song would be a hit?
party sounds well good – a nice 80’s vibe. Andre’s verse isn’t great on his standards, but that still means it’s a lot better than any one elses verses
Why is everyone hating on him because he hasn’t released much music recently. Nor has Lauryn Hill and she’s still one of the best musicians alive.
WHITE ASS BITCH FUCK HER WHY THEY PROMOTING THIS FAKE ASS KILLUMINATI BITCH
KELLY ROWLAND BLACK AS FUCCCCCK
Heard parts of it. Classic R&B/Pop album. She takes it back to classic 80s’ R&B.
It’s good to see Black women doing their thing.
whos black?
Listening to this album now. Supporting my Black women all the way.
Kill the Illuminati shyt. That’s COINTELPRO talking to divide the small Black elite from the Black masses.
Beyonce has always been light. Look at her mom!
If she is really lightening her skin, then she is a victim of white supremacy, as many of us are.
Lol, Im no cointelpro but I know that chick looks like shakira now. Nobodys holding a gun to her head and telling her to lighten her skin. Last time I checked….Oprah, way richer than beyonce, is still the same color.
It’s funny when people stir up shit about the queen…Brightening her skin color just to look white? Why? It’s called photography, and there are many different variants and styles of it. People are stupid nowadays, feeding into the bullshit. It’s a shame that a Black woman who put in so much work in the game is subject to being called “Illuminati” because her career and accomplishments are damn near untouchable. Face it hatas, you all sound stupid. Stop hating on light-skinned black people, it sounds like jealousy underneath all the harsh but yet meaningless comments. And the album is dope, by the way.
it really isnt stupid…just look at how images like this affect young black girls. they see somebody like beyonce lightening their skin and think “i need to be white like beyonce so people will like me”. keep supporting this bullshit corporately funded music bro.
“stop hating on light-skinned black people,”
I really think ure missing the point. Nobody cares what color beyonce is…. the point is the seemingly altered skin tone. stop tryin to turn this into some lightskin vs dark skin bullshit. This really isn’t anything new with black women’s photography in hollywood. Its not a conspiracy. just look at what ELLE did to Precious for their magazine cover. google it. people arent “hating”. please stop throwing that fucking word around.
i really dont think beyonce lightened her skin. that’s a stretch.
It’s not jealousy, and it’s not ‘hating’ (which is the most overused word in history). It’s justified anger towards Beyonce for being, for lack of a better word, a sell out. Listen, black girls already have it worse in America than anyone. They have no role models, and they are constantly being told subliminally and blaitantly by white AND black people that they are not as pretty or valuable as lighter-skinned women. Beyonce, who WAS one of the last good role models for young girls is sending the message that she is ashamed of her blackness by trying to look as white as possible. Look..dying your hair blonde from time to time is one thing, but look at that album cover. If you didn’t know who Beyonce was, there is no way you would think she was a black woman, no way. What kind of message is that sending? I realize you’re a Beyonce fan, but that doesn’t mean you have to co-sign everything she does. You have to be your own person and call that shit out when you see it. There’s plenty of people standing up for Beyonce, but who is standing up for black girls? Even Michelle Obama and Oprah who have enough respect and clout to actually say something uplifting on behalf of young black girls, they never do, because of their own political or financial agendas. You can back this if you want, but it’s detrimental to your people, assuming you’re black.
you people are completely ignorant if you think she purposely said she wanted the picture to make her look light. You all are taking it to the extreme its just a fucking picture and she’s not trying to not claim being black you idiots. Leave her alone and let her be the artit she is trying to be and like he or she said stop hating because that is all you all are doing. You try to say she’s ashamed of her blackness, but you are judging the way she looks in a picture and saying all these things about her, a successful BLACK entertainer, when you should be supporting her. Black people always try to bring other black people down when they see success stop HATING and move on with your life!! 😉

Dear SEVEN BENJAMIN, We all hope that you do not end up like your father who has low self esteem and disrespects himself and women. We hope you have some dignity and get married to one woman one day instead of trying to build your self worth by bedding groupies like your father Andre 3000. Your grandfather Lawrence Walker was never around and your grandmother Sharon Benjamin Hodo had to raise your crooked dad all by herself. Look what happened. Now your own father, Andre 3000, can’t move to Dallas, Texas because he’s broke. He’d rather bed nameless women then spend time with you.
Dear Geena Rowlands’s 14 kids,
Your Mother is a bitter groupie who always thought she was going to be able to support you by swindling money from people who actually work hard for their income. Being that she wasn’t able to build her gold-digger empire like her counterparts, she has become vindictive, lonely, mad, and bored. Her life has been reduced to stalking a rapper named Andre 3000 who will be remembered for being a great and innovative artist despite her attempts to slander his name through ridiculous website banter. She probably says the same foul things about your 14 fathers, but you should know that the broad is just crazy, so don’t listen to her.
Dear Geena Rolands,
5 pounds of makeup on your face will not make up for the fact that youre ugly inside.
Dear Geena Rolands,
It must be that time of the month again, huh?
Yours Sincerly
Please SHUT UP!
Okay, but why is Ric Flair on Beyonce’s album cover? I don’t get it.
lol
haha
Whoooooooooooooooooooooo 0_o
Dear Geena Rolands,
It must be that time of the month again, huh?

Wow…some of u guys on here are RIDICULOUS…
Beyonce is LIGHT-SKINNED, the pic was taken under BRIGHT-LIGHT….therefore her skin looks lighter in the pic…chill with the skin-lightening accusations….
Go look up the cover to Talib Kweli “Right About Now”….what color does his skin look on the album cover??? I don’t see anyone up in arms over that or ANYONE ELSE for that matter besides Beyonce! I swear some of you guys just can’t stand someone being successful at a level that you can’t relate to so you tear them down anyway you can…shit is fucking sad…people on here acting like she’s LESS BLACK because of an album cover or something, she’s black when she wakes up til she goes to sleep, STOP TRIPPIN…
AMEN!!!!!!!!! I AGREE 100% :0)
Everybody go to Youtube. Beyonce and Nicky Minaj are on a remix of her leading single Run the World Girls together. This guy name Fyuchur produced it. Its Hot!! Both of their fans love it
luv Beyonce
Beyonce has never had really dark typical african skin, she is half African-american (her dad) and half Creole (her mum). Her skin is and has always been naturally lighter than the average african american. The colour of her hair also will make her skin appear lighter/darker depending on the colour of her hair (I know when my hair is lighter my skin looks more pale..) Why is it an issue? Its like saying a white person with a good suntan isnt really white and are trying to be black..?!
