Andre 3000 | Where Are They Now? | The REAL Reason He Quit Rapping...

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Anytime someone brings up the name Andre 3000, they almost always mention in the same breath that he might very well be the most talented rapper of all time. See? I just did it. It’s easy. And it’s also the truth -- because quite simply put, there aren’t many musicians with the natural charisma and technical skill of Andre Benjamin. Whether it’s those brightly colored fits, that fearless sense of humor, or his willingness to try something new -- Andre is most definitely for real. Or perhaps I should say, he was for real. Because once the 2010s hit, Andre 3000 kind of just disappeared on his own terms. Aside from the occasional guest-spot, Andre’s fans would have to make do with his acting career and occasional side projects like an Anita Baker T-shirt line. But why did Andre 3000 take a step back from the spotlight at the peak of his powers? If you already know the very personal reason, then leave the answer down below. Everyone else, keep watching our newest episode of Where Are They Now.
