Andre 3000 Reveals Why He Ran Away From Hollywood

Ask anyone in the hip-hop scene about Andre Benjamin, better known as Outkast's Andre 3000, and you're likely to hear them discussing his status among the greatest rappers ever.

From Travis Scott to Future and Childish Gambino, his influence and the respect he commands are more universal than practically anyone still in the game.

Armed with unparalleled lyrical wit and a vast repertoire of flows, Andre 3000 is the rapper's rapper. So much so that when Kendrick Lamar, arguably the contemporary king of bars, was about to drop "good kid, m.A.A.d city," getting Andre's seal of approval was something he actively sought out.
