OutKast next album, the soundtrack to "Idlewild", out December 6th (PLEASE forgive me if I posted this already, I didn't see it in my history):
but anyway, YAHOOO! 
http://www.rollingstone.c...on=single2 OutKast Idlewild Out December 6th "It's like an OutKast record on film," says Big Boi of the soundtrack to the rap duo's new musical film, tentatively titled Idlewild. Set in the Depression-era South, the movie, which will be released in theaters on January 6th, follows the story of a struggling musician (played by Andre 3000) and a lovable Lothario (Big Boi). "Since it's in the Thirties, we didn't want to use too many synthesizers and keys," says Big, who adds that the duo mined its vault of unreleased and unfinished tracks for the album. The first single, "Idlewild Blues," is a jazzy romp loaded with drum stomps, muffled trumpets and piano; Dre gives his best Cab Calloway impersonation, and Big flips his hallmark spitfire rhymes. "It's a juke-joint jam," says Big. "I don't know if you can categorize it as a rap song." | |

I don't get it. I'm still looking forward to this album, but I'm  | |
