Bad News For OutKast Fans

Bad news for OutKast fans -- LaFace/Jive Records has removed the duo's forthcoming Idlewild from its 2005 release schedule.
Idlewild is slated to be the soundtrack to HBO Films' original musical My Life in Idlewild, which stars the Atlanta duo. The album was initially planned for release earlier this year, before being pushed back to December 6th.
Over the weekend at the Vibe Awards, Big Boi told Billboard Magazine that it would appear sometime during the first quarter of 2006, but a label spokesperson says there is no confirmed date.
"We're trying to pick the single right now," said the rapper. "It's all about a gut instinct."
HBO Films had expected to unveil the film in early January; however, with the soundtrack delayed, it will be pushed back as well. A company spokesperson says a new date has yet to be nailed down.
My Life in Idlewild marks the directorial debut of long time Outkast collaborator/acclaimed video director Bryan Barber.
Set in the 1930's, the film brings together an array of talented individuals. In addition to OutKast, Ving Rhames, Malinda Williams, Terrence Howard, Paula Jai Parker, Cicely Tyson, Patti Labelle, Macy Gray and Ben Vereen will all take part in the production.
Idlewild will be the duo's first since the 2003 double album, Speakerboxx/The Love Below.
Fortunately for fans of the group, Big Boi's Virgin-distributed imprint label Purple Ribbon will drop its first release, Big Boi Presents Got Purp? Vol. 2, on November 22nd. The first single, "Kryptonite (I'm On It)" featuring Big Boi, Killer Mike, Blackowned C-Bone and Rock D is currently in rotation on radio and video networks.
The Purple Ribbon All-Star lineup includes new music from Killer Mike, Bubba Sparxx, Goodie Mob, and Sleepy Brown as well as newcomers Janelle Mon�e, Konkrete and Scar.
