Andre 3000 Benjamin of Outkast meets KayvonTV.
What a great treat it was to meet Andre "3000" Benjamin at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival. I attended the Battle in Seattle premiere to try to catch a glimpse of Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta, and André Benjamin.
I got to ask Andre a bunch of great questions regarding Stankonia, his partner Big Boi, and his sombrero among other things.

André 3000 (born André Lauren Benjamin on May 27, 1975 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, rapper, hip hop producer and actor. He is half of the successful hip hop duo OutKast and is also the creator of Cartoon Network's Emmy-winning show Class of 3000.

OutKast are an American hip hop duo based out of East Point, Georgia, a city south of Atlanta, Georgia. Their original musical style was a mixture of Dirty South and G-Funk; since then, funk, soul, pop, electronic music, rock, spoken word poetry, jazz, and blues elements have been added to the group's musical palette. The duo consists of Atlanta native André "André 3000" Benjamin (formerly known as "Dre") and Savannah, Georgia-born Antwan "Big Boi" Patton.

The duo is one of the most successful hip-hop groups of all time, having received six Grammy Awards. Over 20 million copies have been sold of OutKast's eight releases: six studio albums, a greatest hits release, and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, a double album containing a solo album from each member. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is one of only four hip-hop albums to be certified Diamond in the U.S. for shipping over 10 million units. Along with OutKast's commercial success, they have maintained an experimental approach in their music and are widely praised for their originality and artistic content.[1]
