Killer Mike Walks Back André 3000 Album Claim: ‘I Was Stoned Out Of My Mind’

Killer Mike has walked back his claim that André 3000 is working on new music, saying now that he was ‘stoned out of his mind’ when the comments were made.

The Run The Jewels rapper sat down for an interview with V-103 in Atlanta, and said comments he made on Sway In The Morning on Wednesday (June 21) were blown way out of proportion, and that 3 Stacks did not have an album coming.

“I was stoned out of my mind playing, teasing with y’all,” Mike said at the 7-minute mark below. “Y’all done took the joke too seriously. But you know, [Andre 3000’s] always making music. He’s never not making music. So I got a chance to hear a lot of cool stuff… If you want to hear Dre though, I know where you can. It’s this album called ‘Michael’ that’s out right now. There is Dre, Future, and Killer Mike…”

The clarifications come after Mike was asked by Sway if Andre had anything he was cooking up, to which he replied: “Yeah, I think we fly out in a couple weeks to go listen to it.”

He added that he heard already about nine tracks of unreleased music from André 3000.

“Wow, that’s amazing. André 3000 got an album coming,” Sway said in approval.

André 3000 is yet to release a solo album in his career and his last studio LP came as part of Outkast with 2006’s Idlewild.

Killer Mike also confirmed in a separate interview that there’s another collaboration between the two of them that exists featuring Andre rapping for about seven minutes.

“Killer Mike played me a record one time with him and André, I’m not even joking this is one of the greatest Hip Hop records, just musical records I’ve ever heard in my life,” Charlamagne Tha God hyped the track during Killer Mike’s visit to The Breakfast Club last week. “It’s phenomenal. I can’t even describe what y’all doing on this record.”

Killer Mike responded: “There is another Killer Mike and Dre feature and all we gotta do is make this album go No. 1 and make the guys from the label really, really happy and I’ll be back next year… It’s about 12 minutes — seven and five. Stacks rap longer. When you handsome all the girls like you you get to rap longer.”

3 Stacks appeared on Killer Mike’s Michael album cut “Science & Engineers,” which finds him rhyming alongside Future and Eryn Allen Kane on the ethereal track.

Michael dropped on June 16 and features appearances from Curren$y, Mozzy, 2 Chainz, CeeLo Green, 6LACK, EL-P, Blxst, Ty Dolla $ign, Jagged Edge, Kaash Paige, and more.
