Quick Hit: Andre 3000 Says New Outkast Album About as Likely as “Detox”

Despite the fact that myself, the entire rap interwebs and anyone whose taste in music I even remotely respect are clamoring for a new Outkast album, that shit ain't happening. In a new interview with GQ, Andre 3000 confirmed that while he's going to continue to do random guest features, and maybe drop a solo album, there's no plans for any new Kast.

GQ: "So does that mean we can expect to hear the album we’ve all be waiting on?"

Andre 3K: "It depends on which album you’re talking about."

GQ: "A new ‘Kast album!"

Andre 3K: "There’s been a lot of talk on the Internet about an OutKast album and I have to say that as of now, there are no plans for another OutKast album. There’s a lot of music on the horizon. I’ve been living off the excitement of new artists. I’ve been privileged to have these new artists kind of reach out and grab back and say, “Hey, Andre, we want you on this song.” So I’ve been taking those calls and for the last two years, I’ve been doing collaborations. So these new artists have kind of been keeping me alive. I’ve just really been feeding off of that and this year I think I’m planning to do a solo project. I don’t know when it will come out, but hopefully it’ll come out this year. As far as OutKast, I really don’t know if or when that will happen."

God fucking damnit.
