New Outkast Single

For those of you who care, here's "Mighty O", the new single from OutKast's forthcoming album, Idlewild, due out August 22nd. None of the smooth party flow you'll expect from an OutKast song due out in the summer, just André and Big Boi rapping with some annoying chorus and the usual yeah yeah yeahs. It's just another hip-hop jam. All the "cool" kids would love it though. I hear the album is going to be "an old-school (real old school) fusion of swing, blues and hip-hop" - let's hope there's less of this and more of that.

Sounds to me like this song is exactly what you described: a mix of swing, blues and hip-hop. The organ samples are tight (classic blues) and the chorus is a send up of the old blues/swing choruses. Remember Cab Calloway in Blues Brothers?
