Andre 3000 is rap’s white whale, ever sought and rarely sighted. When he does grace us with a verse, it is invariably awe inspiring. In his most philosophically dense verse of the last decade, 3 Stacks pleads with the deceased Miss Donda to ask his own passed parents questions that have troubled him for quite some time. It’s a heartbreaking ruminat...

On March 5th, shortly following the release of Scary Hours 2, Toronto police confirmed that Drake had been brutally murdered on his own shit.
