from IGN.com:


IGNFF: I've been a big fan of Outkast for a long time, especially being an Atlanta native myself. I'm also a big Prince fan, and it really felt to me like you channeled early Prince on The Love Below.

BENJAMIN: Thank you, man. Prince is, man, he is one of my greatest influences growing up. I've actually met him a couple of times here in California.

IGNFF: Do you think you might work with Prince one day?

BENJAMIN: There's a possibility man. There's always a possibility that we could work together. When we met, we were in a club and we were sitting down talking. We were talking about a song and talking about tempo and, I guess making moves and singles and I was so excited to meet him man, I just couldn't think of everything I wanted to say. He invited me, you know, [saying I] should come on out to Paisley Park… I've never been to Paisley Park. I'd just love to sit down and just talk to him and hear stories, because he's like, to me, he was the genius of growing up in our time, you know? He's the person that did it.

showing respect

Now that could be a good collaboration!

Some fresh, ecletic music could definitely spring from that.

That would be a great collaboration, Prince would show him how it's done, how to take his music to another level.

That's what I'm talkin' bout!!!

I can see them doing a collabo

That's a callboration I would love to hear!

I do love Andre, and I love that he's always big-upped Prince, but, uh...
