  • Spotted: Outkast’s Andre 3000 Channels The Spirit of The Legendary Jimi Hendrix! [PHOTOS]

    Jun, 12 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Andr? 3000 Benjamin was spotted out again in Dublin, Ireland earlier today dressed as the legendary rock icon Jimi Hendrix (June 12, 2012).

    Dr? started shooting the Hendrix biopic, All is By My Side, late last month and the dungeon family member has been putting his all into the character.

    I dunno if you noticed, but with each new sighting it appears that 3 stacks is totally transforming into the late great rock legend!

    It’s quite evident that he’s the perfect actor to play Hendrix in the big screen biopic, at least in physical appearance.

    Word on the curb is that the 37 year old OutKast rapper has also studied Hendrix’ music and is in the process of mastering his own personal technique as well as Hendrix’ guitar style, so if all the parts come together, his strong resemblance to the US Rock and Roll Hall of Famer should make for a great film.

    Spotted: Outkast’s Andre 3000 Appears In Public as Jimmy Hendrix… [PHOTOS]

    May, 29 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Andre 3000 Benjamin?was spotted in Dublin, Ireland on the set of his upcoming Jimi Hendrix film over the weekend (May 28, 2012).

    As I revealed a few weeks ago, production of the Hendrix biopic, “All is By My Side,” is a GO and cameras have begun rolling.

    Dre fills the legendary rockers shoes as the movie details the years?Hendrix spent in England, from 1966 to 1967, when he put together his debut album,?Are You Experienced.

    Three Stacks definitely looks the part and fans are anxiously awaiting the final product, however, the estate of Jimi Hendrix (Experience Hendrix, LLC) isn’t quite on board with the project and may seek to prevent use of any original Hendrix music.

    Andre 3000 Clarifies Outkast Rumors: “I?m going to be in Outkast forever…”

    Mar, 7 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Andre 3000 Benjamin recently did a follow up interview to pretty much tell the world what I’ve already told y’all.

    If you’re an avid reader of StraightFromTheA, you may recall THIS post where I explained to you why Andre 3000 wasn’t in the Beyonce “Party” video.?? You may also recall a few weeks ago, where I tried to clear up those vicious rumors that Dre had “killed” Outkast…

    [READ: Outkast Ain’t DEAD! The Real Deal… ]

    In a recent interview with The Fader, Dre discusses his “I’m the Sh*t” rant in the 13 minute ‘DoYaThang’ extended single and his support of Chris Brown.? He also reiterates what I wrote about why we won’t see him in any music videos and the future of Outkast.

    Check out the interview below… Continue Reading…

    Andre 3000 Featured on 13 minute Gorillaz Track! [AUDIO + OFFICIAL VIDEO]

    Mar, 5 2012 | Written by ATLien

    While we sit patiently waiting for an Outkast reunion that may or may not take place, life goes on and other music is made.

    That being said, do you recall when Andre 3000 posed for those Dungeon Family GQ photos shirtless with that mask on?

    [READ: Behind the Scenes of Dungeon Family GQ Shoot ~ PHOTOS]

    The reason behind Dre’s get up apparently had to do with the promo for the Gorillaz single he was working on.

    Andre Benjamin dropped a few bars for Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn alongside James Murphy last September in London and “DoYaThing” was born.

    The original track, created for Converse?s Three Artists, One Song series, features Dre’s hypnotic twang delivering a euphoric, minute-long freestyle as he rhymes sploooshy sploosh with blooopdie bloop kinda like he did on Jeezy’s “I do” with whoopty whoop and bleepty bleep.

    The official video for the song was released a few days ago and Dre appears in video but claymation form … remember I told y’all he says he won’t appear in any music video unless it’s with Big Boi. CLICK HERE to revisit that post.

    Anywhoo… check out the video for “DoYaThang” PLUS listen/download the extended 13 minute version of the song (that includes even more of Dre) below… Continue Reading…

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
