Andre 3000 on a New OutKast Album: “We’re further away from it than we’ve ever been”

It seems as though any new OutKast music may never happen.

In an extensive interview with Rolling Stone, Andre 3000 was asked what his mindset on new OutKast music is now.

“I’ll say maybe 10, 15 years ago, in my mind, I thought an OutKast album would happen,” the New Blue Sun artist said. “I don’t know the future, but I can say that we’re further away from it than we’ve ever been. I think it’s a chemistry thing. We have to be wanting to do it. It’s hard for me to make a rap, period, you know? And sometimes I’m in the belief of, “Let things be.”

“It was a great time in life, and our chemistry was at a certain place that was undeniable. And I think the audience sometimes believes that something has to last forever, and I don’t think that,” he continued. “Any kind of art form, I think that’s probably the opposite. It probably should not last forever. It’s not like a product. In the end, we did give a product, but what made that product was a certain time in both of our lives.”
