Beyonce And Andre 3000 To Duet on Amy Winehouse Cover

Beyonce and Andre 3000 are set to duet on an Amy Winehouse Cover for 'The Great Gatsby' Soundtrack which is being executive produced by mogul Jay Z

Beyoncé is going “Back to Black” with some help from André 3000. The pop icon and OutKast rapper are teaming up for a remake of the late Amy Winehouse’s classic.

According to E! News, the cover will appear on the soundtrackto the upcoming Baz Luhrmann-directed film The Great Gatsby. The original song was recorded by Winehouse for her 2006 Grammy-winning album Back to Black.

Jay-Z is producing the soundtrack, which blends contemporarymusic with jazz and hip-hop. “It’s a very different take on ‘Back to Black,’” said a rep for Interscope Records, who willrelease the album.

This is not B and André’s first time working together. They previously collaborated on “Party” off 2011’s 4.

The Great Gatsby stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire, and hits theaters nationwide on May 10.

So this soundtrack is definitely going bring back the days where movie soundtracks were looked at the same as a regular album was. I am too excited for this!

Diddy tops the list for Forbes Richest Hip-Hop Artists

According to New York Daily News, Sean 'Diddy' Combs has topped the list for Forbes richest Hip-Hop artist of 2012

For the third year in a row, Diddy has topped Forbes' list of wealthiest hip-hop artists.

What does it take to be number one, as Diddy's colleague Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, fifth on the list, might ask? A cool $580 million, at least in estimated net worth.

Most of Diddy's dollars don't come from his musical ventures, the magazine points out. Rather, he's built up a fortune through lucrative ventures such as his deal with Diageo's Ciroc vodka.

The Bad Boys Records founder hasn't slowed down since he was first crowned hip-hop's richest by the magazine in 2011. In fact, his estimated worth has bumped up considerably from when he first entered on the chart at $475 million.

Rapper Jay-Z landed second on the list, with a net worth of $475 million, also keeping the spot he had in 2012. Andre "Dr. Dre" Young ranks third with, $350 million, followed by Cash Money Records founder Bryan "Birdman" Williams, with $150 million and 50 Cent with $125 million.
