Rosa Parks Can't Testify

Civil Rights icon Rosa Parks suffers from dementia and should not answer questions relating to her lawsuit against Hip-Hop stars Outkast, her doctor’s revealed.

Parks, 91, took the rap group to court over their 1998 hit song “Rosa Parks,” featured on their multi-platinum release, Aquemini.

According to her lawyers, her health is failing and she will not be able to take the stand and testify in the case. The civil-rights legend hired powerful lawyer Johnny Cochran to represent her in the case, as well as several other attorneys.

Parks claims Outkast’s song violated her trademark rights and accuses the group and their record label, BMG of exploiting her name. She also claimed that a gospel album she released was impaired by the song and that confused fans purchased the Outkast album, expecting a gospel themed record.

The group claims “Rosa Parks” is protected by the First Amendment.

Parks handlers agreed to release the documents in August, to prove that she was not able to take the stand. She has not been seen in public since 2001, when she was forced to cancel a meeting with President Bush.

Big Boi Teams up with Omarion (B2K) for Single and Video

Omarion has added a big collaborator to his upcoming solo album — Big Boi, to be exact.

The Outkast rapper has lent a verse to the former B2K star's first single, "Never Gonna Let You Go (She's a Keepa)."

"Basically, it's a realistic topic," Omarion said. "When I made my album, I wanted to talk about things that are real. I want somebody to hear my song and say, 'You know, man, I've been through that.' And 'She's a Keepa,' I mean, fellas, any time you got a good girl, even if she gets on your nerves sometime, she's worth keeping if you put that time in."

Omarion and Big Boi are shooting the video next week under the direction of Chris Stokes, who manages Omarion and directed several of B2K's videos.

Aretha Loves Outkast

Soul legend Aretha Franklin credits Outkast with giving her a liking for hip-hop.

The Respect singer admits she shies away from most rap, because she doesn't appreciate the lyrics, but she enjoys listening to the work of Hey Ya! hitmakers Andre 3000 and Big Boi.

She says: "OutKast I really love. They just have great energy.

"A lot of the rap I really don't enjoy because of the content. I care what the lyrics say and a lot of it is too negative and derogatory."

FINAL WORD FROM ANDRE HIMSELF ON FAKE MEDIA REPORTS

This website was the first to call "bullshit" on false media reports that Andre was performing for the Republicans. But apparently some fans have been confused, so here's Andre himself on the reality:

“The reason why I’m here is because I’m doing a documentary on youth and voting. I guess people got wind that I was coming here for the Republican convention, but they really don’t know the complete story. I wanted to clear it up. You had a lot of people around town, people in the streets, that heard I was supposed to be performing at the convention. A lot of people are riled up and upset, and that was never the case. It almost leads me to think, ‘who put it out there that I was performing?’ I don’t know if it was to bring heat to a certain party. I just want to let people know that this is a non-partisan documentary I’m doing,"

"Well, actually it wasn’t a big scare, because whoever was on the radio saying they’d never buy another Outkast album, they probably wasn’t true fans. True Outkast fans love the music. I understand the politics of it – it does matter who I vote for – but it’s none of their business. If they like the music that’s cool."

Andre at the Republican and Democratic Conventions to Film Documentary

Contrary to what you may have heard in the media, Andre 3000 was not at the Republican convention to perform, he was there filming a documentary about voting. So don't get it twisted. According to British music mag NME:

"OUTKAST’s ANDRE 3000 is filming a documentary focusing on the rapper’s change from musician to voter registration activist.

The ’Hey Ya’ star appeared at the recent Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention to conduct interviews.

In the currently untitled project, Andre 3000, interviewed John Kerry’s daughters and on Tuesday (August 31), he interviewed President George W Bush’s daughters Jenna and Barbara."
