OutKast's Andre 3000 Returns With Beatles Cover

After a long break from music, OutKasts Andre 3000 resurfaced during the NBA Cheap Rosetta Stone Finals by covering the Beatles Yellow Submarine closing track All Together Now for Nikes latest Kobe Bryant commercial. In the minute-long clip, Nike traces NBA history, juxtaposing four-time champion Bryant alongside the greats like Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson and Patrick Ewing. But hearing Andre 3Ks voice again after a long hiatus is the real draw as the Atlanta rapper adds a little Hey Ya! bounce to the Beatles sing-along.The Nike site hosting the ad didnt indicate whether an unabridged version of Andre 3000s All Together Now will be released as a download in the future. Despite a handful of high-profile cameos in recent years verses on Big Bois Royal Flush and John Legends Green Light, to name a few Andre 3000 hasnt graced an album in full since OutKasts 2006 Idlewild soundtrack. However, Andre Rosetta Stone V3 will reportedly rejoin his OutKast partner Big Boi on a number of tracks on Bois upcoming album Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. Big Boi, on the other hand, has been everywhere in the weeks before Sir Luscious Left Foots release, recently unveiling his awesome neon-and-puppet-packed video for Shutterbug.Nike isnt the only sporting goods company to unveil a brand new commercial with musical talent: In the new Adidas ad below, Daft Punk, Noel Gallagher, the Stone Roses Ian Brown and Snoop Dogg all frequent the cantina from the original Star Wars to Rosetta Stone Chinese hilarious effect. The mysterious and silent Daft Punk adopt the role of Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi bartering with Han Solo for use of the Millennium Falcon while Snoop Dogg, light saber in hand, deals with some aliens who get up in his face. Somehow David Beckham shows up for the final punch line and to return this intergalactic ad and spot-on homage back to its World Cup theme. The discs A-list roster of guest talent takes the LP to the superstar stratosphere: T.I., Young Jeezy, Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj, Swizz Beatz, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and, with a pair of Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 production credits, Kanye West, all cameo with top-shelf contributions.
