Andre 3000 has been on a huge press run regarding his film, JIMI: All By My Side, where he plays the late Jimi Hendrix. In previous interviews, he debunked the rumors regarding new music from OutKast. This time around, he voiced his opinion on the state of music in his newest interview with TIME. According to Mr. Benjamin, it's all good.

"You can’t say the state of it is horrible or bad," he says. "It’s just life. It’s just a day. Some days are more exciting than others but at the end of the day it’s like, these are people’s expressions. I hate when people come up to me in public, in the street, and they say, ‘Aw man, don’t you think rap sucks?’ Or, ‘Don’t you think this is not real music?’ I’m thinking in my mind: What do you mean, ‘Real music’? What does that mean? I know what they’re saying, but it’s just unfair to say what’s real and what’s not. Someone’s expression is what it is. Either you like it or you don’t. Especially being in the South, trap music has gotten a bad rap but I think it’s so inventive and so much of a departure from what we did, and I think you should do that. Every generation after should kill all of their idols, kill all the people before them, don’t mimic them. Keep it moving."

Let's cross our fingers on a 3000 album. Maybe one day.
