Chase Tatum was found dead 6 days ago of an accidental drug overdose. Tatum, pictured above in a promo pic from the film Who’s Your Caddy along with Faizon Love, Big Boi and Finesse Mitchell, formerly worked as a road manager and personal assistant for OutKast. Tatum was also well known as a professional wrestler, which apparently is where he developed the back problems which lead to his addiction to pain-killers. Tatum was 34.
Chase Tatum had been recovering from back surgery to repair a degenerative disc. His father said the former wrestler had been fighting a dependence to painkillers for years but had been planning to enter a rehabilitation center.
“He was in the process of getting his life back together,” Roy Tatum said Monday. “He was confident he was going to turn things around, to live a normal life again without those painkillers.” (Source)
I get a tingling sensation everytime I see Big Boi (peep my header)…but I couldn’t drive straight when I heard this new song on the radio yesterday! Big Boi and Dre reunite (along with Raekwon) for “Royal Flush,” which is the first single from Big Boi’s upcoming solo joint. This song is soooo hott! This ish rite hurr…this ish rite hurr…is what we’ve been missing!
I just got this in my inbox and I thought…”OK…I’ll bite!” This is a cute little spoof of Outkast’sHappy Valentine’s Day Song. They really put a lot of work into this video! Dude is like a cross between late 80’s Big Boi and Late 90’s Andre 3000…
You may have already seen this, but I haven’t! Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
I know…I know… I’ve been sleepin on the music! I heard this on the radio the other day and was like “WTF?!?” Did I miss an OutKast release?!?
Then I found out that this song is from DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz: The Album CD. The sad thing is I have that CD on my iPod and haven’t even checked it out yet! Oops…my bad!
Andre 3000 was spotted in New York attending GQ’s party for up and coming men’s designers. Dre wasn’t there as a mere celeb…but as one of the up and coming. In case you haven’t heard, Mr. Benjamin is developing a new clothing line called Benjamin Bixby. The line is described as being “a small, American-football-inspired line.”I don’t get it…but maybe you will.
Anna Wintour, the editor in chief of Vogue magazine, previewed the line and liked it so I guess that means it’s good.
“She was saying she hopes I get the right investors that believe in what I’m doing.” says Dre. (Source)
I wonder if she previewed Baby Phat before it lauched? I’m just sayin…
Andre Benjamin aka Andre 3000 of Outkast has completed the filming of “Semi-Pro“ which stars Will Ferrell. It is set for release in theatres on February 29th.
Also featured in the film are Woody Harrelson, Maura Tierney, Will Arnett, Andy Richter, Rob Corddry, DeRay Davis, Josh Braaten, Jay Phillips, and Jackie Earle Haley. (Source)
As the title suggests, the movie is about a semi-pro basketball league and is set in the 70’s. Will Ferrell is a funny dude so it might just be worth seeing. I’ll go just to see Dre with that big ass Kool-aid smile… Looks kinda corny but I’m game…get it…game?! Oh nevermind! The lame jokes seem to be contageous!
Good music never gets old! This is now one of my favorite videos and you already know Outkast, Goodie Mob and the entire Dungeon Family are my favorite ATLiens. The song “In Due Time” is from Soul Food: Soundtrack - Music From The “Soul Food” Motion Picture but the video has nothing at all to do with the movie. It was filmed in Savannah, Georgia (Big Boi’s “hometown”) and I’m still laughing at the cameos…C-Bone, Erykah Badu, Goodie Mob…!
…and Andre 3000 with that dayum “Bling, Bling, Bling, Bling, Bling” proves it…no debate necessary! Them dudes is crazy as hell…but that’s why we love them so much!
