In this rare 2006 interview, originally published for Breakin-Records.com, OutKast's Andre 3000 opens up to veteran journalist Charlie Braxton about the duo's groundbreaking film debut 'Idlewild,' his experience working with Guy Ritchie on the underground London film 'Revolver,' and his transition from rapper to actor and screenwriter. Andre candidly discusses his embrace of Snap music and club culture, shares untold stories behind tracks like 'Morris Brown' (originally created for TLC) and 'Idlewild Blues' (written in his trailer while filming 'Four Brothers'), reveals his deep love for Blues legend Howling Wolf, and reflects on his connection to Native American culture during filming in Toronto. The interview also captures Andre's thoughts on media attacks against OutKast's friendship, the duo's role in transforming Southern Hip-Hop from laughingstock to cultural dominance, and his philosophical take on Hollywood's appropriation of Atlanta's street culture.
