...Hollywood Divorce”—the most star-studded track on Outkast’s latest album “Idlewild”—is equal parts love song and stinging indictment of the film industry.Over a glacial instrumental track, Lil’ Wayne spits venom at Hollywood for coming “through my neighborhood with cameras on,” but not being there for tragedies like Hurricane Katrina, which claimed the rapper’s Louisiana home, leaving him nothing but “a darn country song” in return.Then, Andre...
