André Lauren Benjamin (born May 27, 1975), known professionally as André 3000, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, actor and flutist. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, he was one half of the pop duo Outkast along with rapper Big Boi, which the two formed in 1992. Benjamin is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time.[1][2][3][4]
As part of Outkast, the duo's six studio albums were each met with critical and commercial success, spawning hit singles including "Ms. Jackson", "Roses", "So Fresh, So Clean", and "Elevators (Me & You)", among others. Their fifth, a double album titled Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003), contained a solo single performed by Benjamin: "Hey Ya!", which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. After the duo split in 2007, Benjamin became less active as a solo act compared to Big Boi, although he made several highly-acclaimed guest appearances on releases by other artists; such activity has earned him an additional three Grammy Awards among eight nominations as a solo artist. Benjamin signed with Epic Records to release his debut studio album, New Blue Sun (2023), an instrumental recording showcasing his performances on flute.[5] The album was nominated for the Album of the Year at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, his first solo nomination and third overall in the category after Stankonia (2000) and [Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2004) with Outkast, the latter of which won the award.
Outside of music, Benjamin has acted in films and television series such as Families, The Shield, Be Cool, Revolver, Class of 3000, Semi-Pro, High Life, Four Brothers, and in the lead role of Jimi Hendrix in All Is by My Side. He played Fredwynn on the AMC series Dispatches from Elsewhere, and was featured in the 2022 adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel White Noise.

安德烈·勞倫·本傑明（André Lauren Benjamin，1975 年 5 月 27 日出生），專業名稱為 André 3000，是一位美國說唱歌手、歌手、詞曲作者、唱片製作人、演員和長笛演奏家。他在喬治亞州亞特蘭大出生長大，是流行二人組Outkast 與饒舌歌手Big Boi 的成員之一，兩人於1992 年組成。 ][2] [3][4]
作為Outkast 的一部分，兩人的六張錄音室專輯都獲得了評論界和商業上的成功，催生了包括“Ms. Jackson”、“Roses”、“So Fresh、So Clean”和“Elevators (Me & You)」在內的熱門單曲。等。他們的第五張專輯名為《Speakerboxxx/The Love Below》（2003 年），其中包含本傑明演唱的一首獨奏單曲：“Hey Ya！”，該單曲登上了Billboard Hot 100 的榜首，並贏得了葛萊美最佳城市/另類表演獎。 2007年兩人分手後，與Big Boi相比，本傑明作為獨唱演員的活躍度降低了，儘管他在其他藝術家的專輯中客串了幾次廣受好評的演出；這樣的活動為他贏得了八項葛萊美獨奏藝術家提名中的另外三項葛萊美獎。班傑明與 Epic Records 簽約發行他的首張錄音室專輯《New Blue Sun》（2023 年），這是一張展示他長笛表演的器樂唱片。這張專輯獲得第67 屆葛萊美獎年度專輯提名，這是他首次獲得個人提名，也是該類別中的第三名，僅次於Stankonia (2000) 和Outkast 的[Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2004 )，後者獲獎獎項。
除了音樂之外，班傑明也曾演出《家庭》、《盾牌》、《Be Cool》、《左輪手槍》、《Class of 3000》、《Semi-Pro》、《High Life》、《四兄弟》等電影和電視劇，並在《All Is》中飾演吉米·亨德里克斯主角。他在 AMC 電視劇《Dispatches from Elsewhere》中飾演 Fredwynn，並在 2022 年改編自唐德里羅小說《白噪音》的電影中出演主角。
On pursuing genre omnivorousness:
I only started doing all types of music because the people I listened to, they kind of did all types of music, right? I felt like, well, I should try in that way. If, you know, Prince is doing a ballad and then he’s doing kind of like this rock, hillbilly, funkabilly song, and then this funk song — to me, it’s like, try everything. Why not? Sly [Stone] did the same thing, George [Clinton]. These are my heroes, you know?
Always in the back of my mind, even with Outkast, I was trying to figure out, “What’s a rap-punk-funk hybrid?” Throw everything you love into a pot and then see what it is. This exercise I would do is make fake hybrid groups: “What would Jimi Hendrix sound like if he was in a rap group?” Or: “What would Bad Brains sound like if they were a rap group?” And if you even get close to what you were trying to do, you’re onto something different.
關於追求類型的雜食性：
我只是開始做所有類型的音樂，因為我聽的人，他們做了所有類型的音樂，對吧？我覺得，好吧，我應該這樣嘗試。如果，你知道，Prince 正在唱一首民謠，然後他會唱這首搖滾、鄉巴佬、放克比利歌曲，然後是這首放克歌曲——對我來說，就像是，嘗試一切。為什麼不呢？狡猾的[斯通]也做了同樣的事情，喬治[克林頓]。這些是我的英雄，你知道嗎？
即使在 Outkast 的影響下，我始終在腦海中思考“什麼是說唱、朋克和放克的混合體？”把你喜歡的所有東西都扔進鍋裡，然後看看它是什麼。我要做的這個練習是製作假混合團體：“如果吉米·亨德里克斯在說唱團體中，他聽起來會是什麼樣子？”或者：“如果 Bad Brains 是一個說唱團體，聽起來會是什麼樣子？”如果你接近了你想要做的事情，你會發現一些不同的東西。
