Andre 3000 hasn't released an album under his name in a very long time, not since 2006's OutKast album, Idlewild. Since then, it's been an inconsistent stream of rap verses and remixes, in which he's displayed his dexterous flow and penchant for vibrant imagery while simultaneously seeming bored with how much better he is than everyone else. With that in mind, choosing to work with Southern rapper B.o.B. makes sense; Dre needs pop verses, while Bobby Ray needs creative partners who can pick up the slack. Their first collaboration, "Play the Guitar," off B.o.B.'s upcoming sophomore album Strange Clouds, is a perfect match.

"They wanted more cookie-cutter type records and I don't do that"

My momma always told me I should put on a suit and tie, get a job, and stop taking bong hits with my Cheerios in the morning. I never listened -- and now look at me (I haphazardly type this, shoeless and penniless, from a dingy cybercafe in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, and my prospects don't seem to be brightening, but I digress). At 32 years of age, it is far too late for me and my tie-less ways. Wall Street, Main Street, and several other prominent paved streets sadly passed me by without my learning how to tie a cravat. On the flipside, there are plenty of highly motivated people with stories of great tie-related success. And luckily for tie-strapped folks such as myself, they would like to bestow their suit-and tie-related winning ways on those less fortunate. That's precisely where nonprofit org Career Gear comes in.
