This week, I talk about Three Stacks’ whimsical verses on Ke$ha’s “Sleazy,” Beyonce’s “Party,” and Lloyd’s “Dedication To My Ex (Miss That).” I also take a totally unnecessary shot at Terrence Malick’s Tree Of Life.

Every once in a while, OutKast’s Andre 3000, who has been mostly dormant since 2006, decides to show up on a radio remix or hit single and drop a bizarre, awesomely out-of-step verse.

And Three Stacks seems to take perverse pleasure in penning a few bars here and there that flip everybody out and, usually, deconstruct the hit song he’s deigned to grace with an appearance. Perhaps the best example is his rapped history lesson about the decline of quality car manufacturing that pops up in the middle of DJ Unk’s 2007 hit “Walk It Out.”…
