Andre 3000 May Be Releasing New Music Soon?

Outkast fans, rejoice! It appears that legendary lyricist and original ATLien Andre 3000 may be finally releasing a new album. In an interview on Friday (Sept. 13) with  Home Grown Radio  on Real 92.3, rhyme-spitter Thurz discussed his upcoming project and how he began working with Dr. Dre in the studio. During the conversation, when asked if there’s been an artist that made him star-struck while making music in the studio, Thurz mentioned Andre 3000—before revealing that Three Stacks has not only been recording music but has enough material to release a full album. “Is he doing music?” asked the show’s co-host DJ HED. “He’s got an album,” Thurz replied. After realizing he may have leaked confidential information, Thurz quickly tries to back peddle stating that he doesn’t know if what he heard was a full album, before admitting the music sounded too great not to be. “He played a lot of ideas that sound like an album to me so I’m just jumping to conclusions,” Thurz continued. “He played a lot of cool ideas…yeah, he’s making music. He’s like one of my favorite rappers. View this post on Instagram Might’ve just spilled the beans Check out an all new episode ft. @kingthurz on the #homegrownradio podcast ! Now #streaming on all platforms • Available to you everywhere ! | #Subscribe : @productionbyrob A post shared by Home Grown Radio (@homegrownradio) on Sep 13, 2019 at 6:36pm PDT   While many fans are rejoicing, others are wondering if the project will ever come out. Despite Thurz’s slip, Andre 3000 along with his rumored collaborator Dr. Dre have yet to confirm or deny rumors. Three Stacks is currently in Philadelphia working on the AMC series, Dispatches From Elsewhere , a 10-episode series is about a “group of people who stumble onto a peculiar puzzle that hides behind everyday life and discover an ever-deepening mystery.” Currently in production, there has been no concrete date for the premiere of the series as of press time. In other Outkast news, the duo was recently trending after on air personality Yes Julz compared Dreamville’s EarthGang to the legends , by seemingly singling out Andre 3000 over Big Boi when she tweeted, “Earthgang is like the OutKast of this generation only with two Andre’s. I’m so here for it. & don’t f*ckin @ me” Earthgang is like the OutKast of this generation only with two Andre’s. I’m so here for it. & don’t fuckin @ me — Julz (@YesJulz) September 10, 2019 As previously reported , after being dragged to filth over what fans felt was major disrespect to Big Boi, Yes Julz doubled down and clarified her statement saying, “Where was the disrespect? I love OutKast. I love bigboi. I grew up on them. I love Earthgang. I simply feel that they both favor Andre a bit more stylistically. I was simply giving a complement. No need to turn this into a negative thing. Please carry on with your day & enjoy it.” This is exactly why we don’t need you in our culture. 1. You have no clue what you speak and they can’t be OutKast with Two Andre’s because that wouldn’t be outkast lastly how dare you disrespect @BigBoi You’re a culture vulture to highest level. Leave our culture alone — MikeT304 (@MikeT304) September 10, 2019 Big Boi recently addressed the debate on Power 105.1’s  The Breakfast Club while promoting his new collaboration project with Dungeon Family member Sleepy Brown titled  Intentions.  During the interview Big Boi said that he doesn’t pay attention to negative things people say because it’s a part of being a legend. “When you reach god-emcee status, it’s hard for people to see you up here in these clouds,” Big Boi said. “You just gotta pull the tape. Twenty-five years. We won everything and done everything in music.” Check out Thurz’s full interview below.

Werk, Play! RihRih Pops Up At Sold Out “SLAVE PLAY” Featuring Her Song “Work”

Source: Photo courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway / Courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway Rihanna Attends Broadway Show Featuring Her Hit “WORK” Work hard, play harder? After an exciting week where she showcased her Savage X FENTY line and held her 5th Annual Diamond Ball , Rihanna’s weekend consisted of a cultural outing to see the Broadway show “Slave Play” by Jeremy O. Harris. Page Six reports the singer stopped by the Golden Theatre on Saturday with her family for the sold-out preview night performance. The tabloid reports she texted with the show’s playwright after the show before heading backstage. Source: Photo courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway / Courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway “He invited her to the show,” a source told Page Six of Harris, who clicked with Rihanna when he attended her Savage x Fenty fashion show and Diamond Ball gala. Rihanna may not be acting in “SLAVE PLAY,” which critics have billed as provocative and explosive, but she does have a role in the show, sort of. RihRih’s hit song “Work” is featured in the show and her lyrics are also displayed on the set. Doesn’t thinks have you soooo curious? A play about slavery, sort of, that features an international pop hit? Has to be pretty cheeky. A release for the production describes it thusly: The old South lives on at the MacGregor Plantation—in the breeze, in the cotton fields…and in the crack of the whip. It’s an antebellum fever-dream, where fear and desire entwine in the looming shadow of the Master’s House. Jim trembles as Kaneisha handles melons in the cottage, Alana perspires in time with the plucking of Phillip’s fiddle in the boudoir, while Dustin cowers at the heel of Gary’s big, black boot in the barn. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems. Sounds BEYOND creative. We can only imagine! Rihanna wasn’t the only celebrity to see the show this weekend, Zendaya attended on Sunday. Source: Photo courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway / Courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway By the way, for those who haven’t already guessed Jeremy O. Harris is a REALLY big deal, “SLAVE PLAY” won the Rosa Parks Playwrighting Award, the Lorraine Hansberry Playwriting Award, The Lotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences and the 2018 Paula Vogel Award. Robert O’Hara, who is an Obie winner, is the director. Sounds like something we need some tickets for. Holla.

#NYFWNOIR: It Took Over 2 Suitcases Of Hair To Create The Stunning Hairstyles For The Studio 189 NYFW Show

Read the original:

Source: Danielle James / Courtesy of Danielle James Backstage at the Studio One Eighty Nine show was an amalgamation of melanin magic. Rosario Dawson and her longtime friend Abrima Erwiah have created a social enterprise that supports African fashion and sustainable practices. On Tuesday afternoon, the brand showed their Spring/Summer 2020 collection and had 60 models to show all their vibrant looks using African artisanal practices. Every model had a different hairstyle and TRESemmé products were utilized to help create the looks. Source: Danielle James / Courtesy of Danielle James The Lead Hairstylist for the Spring/Summer 2020 collection was Unilever Hair Expert and Celebrity Hairstylist, Ursula Stephen . Stephen explained, “Typically when you see a show, most of the girls have the same look, even if they don’t have any hair, they are forcing a look into that hair.” This was not the case for this show. She continued, “For us when I walked in and saw the designs, they looked cultural and could be African, and it would be easy to do braids and all that, twists and all that, cultural look, but we wanted to do the opposite. We felt that natural, or loving cultural, doesn’t mean you have to be natural. Natural is a within type of thing.” Source: Danielle James / Courtesy of Danielle James While backstage I saw people having their locs retwisted and tied up, models getting mini afro buns, hair being blown out into straight looks. Source: Danielle James / Courtesy of Danielle James Stephen explained to me while giving a model a weave, “We just decided we are going to take everybody and enhance their individual look. If you have natural, kinky coarse hair we’re gonna have fun with it! Create a fun shape. Do something different.” Source: Danielle James / Courtesy of Danielle James The main hairstyle was reverse cornrows with a bang. She explained, “This is why I flipped the braids. I was like, “You know what? I want to incorporate our culture but I also want to show that we could be elevated and we can still be high fashion with our hair. Who says you can’t have a bang with natural hair? Lemme flip it, turn it around, give her a fringe in the front and a surprise in the back.” This hairstyle is great for the girl with a short to medium afro. There was SO much hair backstage. Stephen revealed that there were at least two suitcases full, “probably more.” She shared that women should keep extensions in their house to help switch up their look. “You have options and it’s inexpensive. You can get marley twists and you twist it, you pin it on top of you head. Just create shapes.” You can also just add hair to help make your hair bigger. “That’s what we did with Damarys,” Stephen explained. “She’s closing the show and she had a small afro, and I said, ‘You know what? I want your hair to be a lot more dramatic than what it is.’ We just added natural hair and made her fro extra large.” Source: Mike Coppola / Getty Black hair is so beautiful and it was illustrated during the Studio One Eighty Nine runway show as each model walked down the runway. That’s the beauty of black hair. You can actually be a different person every day if you want. You can literally straighten your hair out and have bone straight hair, if you want today. You can wet it and it go back into your natural texture, then you can do braids, you can do twists. Our hair is beautiful! That is really our magic, is our hair. I can be a whole other person and you’ll be like, ‘Where she at?!’” DON’T MISS: Christian Siriano Made A ‘Bo Derek’ Mistake When Discussing Hair Inspo For His NYFW Show This Is The Best Hairstyle For Black Women To Rock While On A Beach Vacation Here’s Why You Should Switch Your Deep Conditioner For A Hair Mask [ione_media_gallery src=”https://hellobeautiful.com” id=”3057484″ overlay=”true”]

Welp: R. Kelly Is Reportedly Looking For Help From Michael Jackson’s Molestation Case Attorney

Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty R. Kelly Is Looking For Help From Michael Jackson’s Attorney R. Kelly is reportedly looking for some heavyweights to represent him in his many pending trials.   According to reports from TMZ,  Kelly is trying to land Tom Mesereau, the lawyer who represented   Michael Jackson   in his molestation case in 2005. He also got Robert Blake acquitted of murder. The publication goes on to say that Kelly met with Mesereau for 4 hours, but he still hasn’t signed on just yet. The issue here just might be Kelly’s diminishing finances, which are being burned through quickly to fight his numerous cases. Obviously, an attorney with a track record like Mesereau’s doesn’t come cheap. Kelly is reportedly looking for new representation because his current team brings too much media attention for certain stunts of theirs, like referring to his accusers as “disgruntled groupies.” R. Kelly’s current lead attorney Steve Greenberg called the news that his client was seeking out new lawyers, “A complete load of crap.” Whoever does end up representing Kelly in the future sure has their work cut out for them. In addition to charges already filed in Chicago and New York, Kelly was recently hit with two counts of  underage prostitution in Minnesota. The disgraced singer allegedly paid a minor to strip for him in his hotel room in 2001, at which point prosecutors claim there was “sexual contact” but “no intercourse” between the two.

Sen. Kamala Harris Only Candidate Who Dropped In The Polls After Detroit Debate

Read more:

D uring the first Democratic debate, Sen. Kamala Harris went viral for holding Joe Biden accountable for comments about segregationists and his policy on bussing. Now, the tables have turned and Harris took a blow in the polls.  See Also: This Colin Kaepernick Retweet Says Everything You Need To Know About The NFL Players’ Anthem Grievance According to the Morning Consult poll, Harris went from 13 to 10 percentage points, the only top eight candidates to drop. Sanders, Booker, Buttigeg, Booker, O’Rourke and Yang all remained the same. Warren went from 13 to 15 percent. Biden went from 31 to 32 percent. Harris’ drop could be due to the attack by Tulsi Gabbard . The Congresswoman from Hawaii said, “Now Senator Harris says she’s proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she’ll be a prosecutor president. But I’m deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.” She continued, “She blocked evidence — she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California.” Harris tried to defend herself but Gabbard continued, “The bottom line is, Senator Harris, when you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people’s lives, you did not. And worse yet, in the case of those who were on death row, innocent people, you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that would have freed them until you were forced to do so.” WATCH: Tulsi Gabbard brings up Kamala Harris' record as California AG, saying Harris “put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.” #DemDebate #DemDebate2 #DemocraticDebate pic.twitter.com/1634mXChh3 — NewsBusters (@newsbusters) August 1, 2019 Biden got pummeled as well, especially by Cory Booker. When Biden tried to distance himself from Obama’s immigration policies, Booker went in, “You can’t have it both ways. You invoke  President Obama  more than anybody in this campaign. You can’t do it when it’s convenient and then dodge it when it’s not. And the second thing that this really irks me because I heard the vice president say that if you got a PhD., you can come right into this country. Well that’s playing into what the republicans want, to pit some immigrants against other immigrants.” He also said, “Some are from shithole countries and some are from worthy countries. We need to reform this whole immigration system and begin to be the country that says everyone has worth and dignity and this should be a country that honors for everyone. ” Nonetheless, that hasn’t shaken Biden in the polls.
