Yes he is.

He helped induct him into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame!

Right forum or not, the thread should be locked.

Didn't mean to be so harsh!

André is definately influenced.
I don't exactly know what you're after here, but it's pretty well documented that Prince is a musical Father Figure to him.
Does that help?

I know but around here, asking if Andre3000 is influenced by Prince is like asking if the Beatles influenced the Monkees or if James Bond had anything to do with Austin Powers.

But to answer your question, Andre3000 is extremely and famously influenced by Prince. Prince is his model, just like JB and Hendrix are two of Prince's models. Not only are they influenced by these men, they outright copy the style as an homage. Andre3000 has done that with Prince and thanked him many times. He has talked about Prince's impact on his musical development and even introduced him when he was enthroned in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

If he was influenced, he should have given a better speech at the hall of fame introduction. Alicia Keys did a great speech, so much so that Prince used the clip to open the Musicology tour. What did Andre 3000 say about Prince that was so memorable...?....?...? my point exactly. If I was introducing Prince I'd be far more articulate

Andre once told me (about 2 years ago) that Prince is the greatest musician of our generation and it would be great and very smart for him to let SOMEONE else produce his new records, just 2 C what happens.
