Andre 3000 Inspired By Drake?!

Outkast member Andre 3000’s presence on the music scene has been relatively scarce for a long time, minus a guest verse here or there. The Atlanta rapper recently gave an interview with The Fader where he spoke about the public’s treatment of Chris Brown, a prospective Outkast album, and how Drake inspires him. Check out an excerept:

On being inspired by newcomers like Drake: ”Now I talk to Drake, and I know he had to be like 10 when he was listening to what we were doing. You just never know who’s listening until you hear a connection. I didn’t even know Drake dug my music, I just liked him as a rapper because I felt he had a balance. I didn’t even know that he grew up listening to me. But it’s cool to know that it’s a real lineage thing. I’m happy to see Kanye and Wayne and Drake and all these new artists. They inspire me in a way because they reach back and they say, ‘Hey, we want to get you on these songs.’”
