Earlier this year, fans went through the various stages of denial when André 3000 revealed that he now views rap music as more of a hobby to him.

While the 42-year-old has built a reputation for himself as both an iconic emcee and an actor over the years, news that he just landed a starring role in a new sci-fi film further showcases the reality that the OutKast visionary is continuing his transition away from hip-hop.
