ʻO Andre Lauren Benjamin, a i ʻole ʻo Andre 3000, he mea hoʻokani mele a he mea hoʻokani mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ua loaʻa i ka rapper ʻAmelika kāna "ʻāpana" mua o ka kaulana, ʻo ia kekahi o ka Outkast duo me Big Boi.
No ka hoʻokomoʻana i ka mele wale nō, akā me ka hana a Andre, ua lawa ka nānāʻana i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni: "Shield", "Be cool!", "Revolver", "Semi-professional", "Blood for blood".
Ma waho aʻe o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā mele, ʻo André Lauren Benjamin ka mea nona ka ʻoihana a me ke kākoʻo pono holoholona. I ka makahiki 2008, ua hoʻomaka mua ʻo ia i kāna laina lole, i loaʻa ka inoa "haʻahaʻa" ʻo Benjamin Bixby.
I ka makahiki 2013, ua hoʻokomo ʻo Complex iā Beniamina i kā lākou papa inoa o nā 10 rappers kiʻekiʻe o nā makahiki 2000, a ʻelua mau makahiki ma hope, ua hoʻokomo ʻo Billboard i ka mea pena i kā lākou papa inoa o nā 10 rappers nui loa o nā manawa āpau.

Ua hoʻomaka koke ka kamaʻāina me ke mele. I kēia manawa i ka makahiki 1991, ua hana ʻo Beniamina, me kāna hoa ʻo Antwan Paton, i kahi duet rapper, i kapa ʻia ʻo OutKast.
Ma hope o ka puka ʻana o nā rappers mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua kau inoa ʻo Outkast iā La Face ma Atlanta. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka album mua ʻo Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik ma 1994.
ʻO ka track Player's Ball, i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ka moʻolelo, ua hoʻoholo i ka hopena hou aʻe o nā ʻōpio rappers. Ma ka hopena o 1994, ua hele ka hui i ka platinum a ua kapa ʻia ʻo Outkast i ka hui rap hou maikaʻi loa o 1995 ma The Source.
ʻAʻole hiki i ka poʻe hip-hop ke hauʻoli i nā album ATLiens (1996) a me Aquemini (1998). ʻAʻole luhi nā kāne i ka hoʻokolohua. Ma ko lākou mau ala, lohe ʻia nā mea o ka trip-hop, soul a me ka ululāʻau. Ua loaʻa hou nā mele a Outkast i ka hoʻomaikaʻi pāʻoihana a koʻikoʻi.
Ua lilo ka album ATLiens i mea hoihoi. Ua hoʻoholo ka poʻe rappers e hoʻololi i nā malihini. Ua hoʻopiha ʻia nā mele a Andre me kā lākou ʻono ponoʻī.
ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, i ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ka album, ua aʻo ʻo Beniamina e pāʻani i ke kīkā, ua hoihoi i ka pena, a ua aloha pū me Erica Bada.
Ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka album studio ʻehā ʻo Stankonia, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 2000, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Benjamin e hoʻolauna iā ia iho ma lalo o ka pseudonym haku mele André 3000.
ʻO ke mele "Jackson" i lilo i haku mele kiʻekiʻe o kēia moʻolelo. Ua lawe ka haku mele i ke kūlana 1 hanohano ma ka Billboard Hot 100.
I ka huina, ua hoʻokuʻu ka duo i nā album studio 6. Ua koi ʻia ka noʻonoʻo o nā rappers, a ʻaʻohe mea i manaʻo e pau koke ka hui Outkast.
I ka makahiki 2006, ua haʻalele ka duo. I ka makahiki 2014, hui hou ka poʻe rappers e hoʻolauleʻa i ka lua makahiki nui - 20 mau makahiki mai ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka hui. Ua kipa aku ka hui ma mua o 40 mau ʻaha mele. Ua hauʻoli ka poʻe pā i nā hana a ka duo.
ʻO Andre 3000
Ma hope o ka hoʻomaha pōkole, ua hoʻi ʻo Beniamina i ke kahua. Ua hana ʻia kēia hanana nui i ka makahiki 2007. Ua hoʻomaka kona komo ʻana i ka "society" me nā remix. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i nā haku mele: Walk It Out (Unk), Throw Some D's (Rich Boy) a me ʻoe (Lloyd).
Eia kekahi, hiki ke lohe ʻia ka leo o ka mea rapper ma nā mele e like me: 30 Something (Jay-Z), International Players Anthem (UGK), Whata Job (Devin the Dude), Everybody (Fonzworth Bentley), Royal Flush (Big Boi and Raekwon ), BEBRAVE (Q-Tip) [12], a me Green Light (John Legend).
I ka makahiki 2010, ua ʻike ʻia e hana ana ʻo Benjamin i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kāna album solo mua. Eia naʻe, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Andre e hūnā i ka lā hoʻokuʻu kūhelu o ka hōʻiliʻili.
I ka makahiki 2013, ma hope o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o Andre ma ke keena hoʻopaʻa leo me ka mea hana ʻo Mike Will Made It, ua ʻike ʻia e hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kahi album solo ma 2014. I ka lā aʻe, aia nā poʻo poʻomanaʻo e pili ana i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka hōʻiliʻili.
Eia naʻe, ua hōʻeha ka ʻelele o Andre 3000 i nā mea āpau - ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hāʻawi i ka hōʻoia kūhelu e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album mua i kēia makahiki. I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, ua ʻike ʻia ka rapper ma ka hui ʻelua o ka hui Honest ma ke mele Benz Friendz (Whatchutola).
Ke komo ʻana i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka mixtape Hello
I ka makahiki 2015, ua komo ʻo Benjamin i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o Hello mai ka mixtape a Erica Badu But You Caint Use My Phone. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o Kanye West o 30 Hours mai kāna hui ʻana ʻo The Life of Pablo.
Ma ka 2015 like, ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma kahi hālāwai kūkā, kahi āna i ʻōlelo ai ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻopaʻa i kāna album solo mua.
Eia naʻe, ma 2016 ʻaʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili. Akā ua hauʻoli ʻo Benjamin i nā mea pā me nā mele hui me nā mea hoʻokani kaulana ʻAmelika.
Ma 2018 wale nō, ua hoʻopuka ʻo André 3000 i kekahi mau hana hou ma SoundCloud. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ke mele Me & My (To Bury Your Parents) a me ka haku mele ʻana he 17 mau minuke Look Ma No Hands.
Ua kākau pū ʻo André 3000 a hoʻokani ʻia ma Come Home, ke mele mua mai ka album ʻo Anderson Pak Ventura, i loaʻa maʻamau no ka hoʻoiho ʻana ma 2019.
Nui nā hui like - a me ka nele o kahi hōʻiliʻili pili o nā haku mele hou. Hoka ka poʻe pā.
I 2020, ʻaʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻo Andre 3000 i kahi album solo. Ma waho aʻe o ka hui ʻana o ka Love Below, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka moʻolelo ma ke ʻano he hapalua o ka album pālua Outkast Speakerboxxx / The Love Below.
