André 3000 Admits New OutKast Music Is ‘Further Away’ Than Ever Before: ‘I Think It’s A Chemistry Thing’

André 3000 says new music from him and OutKast group member Big Boi is “further away” than it’s “ever been.”

“I’ll say maybe 10, 15 years ago, in my mind, I thought an OutKast album would happen. I don’t know the future, but I can say that we’re further away from it than we’ve ever been,” André told Rolling Stone.

“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,’” he added.

André 3000 and Big Boi, 49, formed OutKast in 1992. Together they released six albums and earned six Grammy Awards.

In 2007, the two took a hiatus to pursue solo projects. Seven years later, the pair reunited to headline Coachella in honor of their debut album’s 20th anniversary, later performing at over 40 festivals. Their last performance was in New Orleans in 2014.

“It was a great time in life, and our chemistry was at a certain place that was undeniable,” André told the outlet. “And I think the audience sometimes believes that something has to last forever, and I don’t think that. Any kind of art form, I think that’s probably the opposite. It probably should not last forever.”

OutKast fans, y’all disappointed?
