If you’re holding your breath for a new Outkast album you might want to let go. Andre 3000 of Outkast spoke with GQ magazine recently about feeding off of the “excitement” of today’s new artists as well as a solo project but when it came to the possibility of a new Outkast album, he said:

Every now and again we will take a trip down memory lane; near or far and let you inside to what we grew up listening to and whatever else we find that gives us a feeling of nostalgia.
First up is “All N My Grill” by Missy Elliott feat. Nicole Wray and Big Boi of Outkast. This single and video was from Missy’s Da Real World which was released back in 1999. Funny because we were no more or less than 10 years old yet we were listening to all the music with Parental Advisory labels. This remains a personal favorite of C’s because of the violins translated into the urban sound of Timbaland just made a perfect production. This Hype Williams directed clip still manages to top videos of the new millennium even before the recession began to take its toll. Watch the video above and download the single below.

The next song or two songs for that matter were inspired by our Girl Talk post. In “Give and Go” Phil Collins “Another Day In Paradise” was mixed into the song about three quarters of the way through. The song was so powerful and when you pay close attention to the meaning it’s saddening and depressing. We then remembered there was a female who sang this very same song and it then clicked that Brandy and her brother Ray-J did a cover of the song for the Urban Renewal album which was released in 2001. Check out the videos and downloads for both singles below.

2003, a year that delivered some top-notch tunes, well as far as our memory serves us. One of the gems of that year was definitely Andre 3000′s “Hey Ya”. It was such a refreshing sound to hear and boy did it catch on with the masses. Fast forward 6 years into the online video sharing era and we find a guy who does an acoustic cover of Mr. 3000′s smash hit. He caught us off guard, we didn’t expect it to be this good. His facial expressions are a bit off but his vocals are, hmmm “music to our ears”.
