Mr. 3000.
New shit from Andre 3000, though not from “rapping Andre” as you probably would’ve hoped for. Instead, it’s the first single from Class of 3000: Music Volume One, the soundtrack to Dre’s popular animated feature on Cartoon Network, which hits stores on July 3rd — just in time for the show’s second season, which will air Thursdays (starting tomorrow) at 7:oo p.m. (PT/ET).
Musically, “Class of 3000 Theme Song” is interesting, as it’s split into 2 parts — the first more funk-influenced, the second more jazzy, lounge-type music. Lyrically, though… it’s Dre mostly talking, and a bunch of kids exchanging nursery rhymes. No way to sugarcoat it. But Dre does mention that you’re “cool” if you listen to it, so, you know… you’ll have that going for you.

[This was mentioned in the press release, for those that haven’t heard — Dre will be co-starring in a film with Will Ferrell called Semi-Pro, due out next year, about a basketball team in the old ABA days. Don’t really know much else about the plot, but, if you’re like me, Will Ferrell, Andre 3000, and basketball all together sells itself.] Sphere: Related Content
