Music news Andre 3000's speeding arrest stokes celebrity-driven culture
Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 8:34 PM
How newsworthy is it that OutKast's Andre 3000 got arrested in Henry County around 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning for driving his Porsche Carrera 109 mph on I-75?
Google "Andre 3000 arrested" and 403 relevant web results pop up.
With all the hoopla, you'd think the rapper got arrested trying to buy a cache of machine guns from a federal informant in front of Walgreen's hours before he was scheduled to perform at the BET Awards or something. Sheesh.
A smattering of the corniest leads and headlines follows below the break.
From Canada.com:
The only thing faster than Andre 3000's rhymes is his Porsche Carrera.
From CelebrityCafe.com:
Rapper Andre Benjamin now has more in common with the movie "2 Fast 2 Furious" than just writing a song for the soundtrack.
From PerezHilton.com:
Alright, Andre 3000, we get it! You've got yourself a sporty little 2007 Porshe and you want to drive it fast. Understandably. But you can't do that with other drivers around!
From ChartAttack.com:
"I Can't Drive 55" is a Sammy Hagar song, but maybe Outkast's Andre 3000 should consider covering it and changing the lyrics slightly.
And this headline from Examiner.com was, admittedly, LOL:
Andre 3000 arrested: Maybe he should be called Andre 109
In case you're really keeping score, Andre "3000" Benjamin was freed on a $1,200 property bond pending an April 29 court date. Stay tuned.
