Long gone are the days when AC/DC would release Highway to Hell, Back in Black, and For Those About to Rock... We Salute You in a span of three years, traded for long periods of who-knows-what after groups release their most cherished albums. Thus, only now are we hearing peepings of a new Outkast album to follow on the heels of the massive, dense, and universall adored Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. As someone I can't stand once said, it's been awhile.
Better late than never, I suppose. Here's one half of the duo, Big Boi, talking about how at least a preliminary beat or two has been laid down. I guess it's a start?
“For all you Outkast lovers the album is coming. I’m tired of talking about it and know y’all are tired of hearing me talk about it. But its coming and the album is fire!” Big Boi exclaimed. “The Kast album is top secret but Organized Noise had done the first couple of beats off there. We got Dre working on his solo so we’re going to help him tighten that up. The Kast album is coming, then we got the Goodie Mob album coming, and then the Ceelo-Goodie album so it’s Dungeon Family for life!”
I predict February 2011 -- which will make Speakerboxxx/The Love Below as old as Polaroid pictures were when Andre 3000 told us to shake it like one.
