Is Outkast planning a biopic?

BY MELISSA RUGGIERI

Big Boi is sure to send Outkast-philes into a tizzy with his response to a Reddit user about a potential Outkast biopic.

During an “Ask Me Anything” session about his collaboration with Phantogram – “Big Grams,” out Sept. 25 – a fan inquired if “Straight Outta Compton” prompted Big Boi and Andre 3000 to think about telling the Outkast story.

Big Boi’s response was that the pair just discussed the topic over Labor Day and to “stay tuned.”

Since their homecoming concerts last September , the Atlanta rappers have been quiet as a unit, but have stayed busy with individual projects.

Big Boi has been working on the aforementioned Phantogram project, while Andre 3000 is set to star in the second season of ABC's "American Crime."

Big Boi commented to Pitchfork that he thought the recent "Key and Peele" sketch that poked fun at the duo's relationship and Andre 3000's peculiarities was "funny as hell," but assured that the twosome are friends who hang out together every week.
