See the First Clip of André 3000 As Jimi Hendrix

From the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is Bb My Side, here’s the first clip of André Benjamin (a.k.a. Outkast’s André 3000) in full character. It wasn’t as simple as a change of hairstyle (although he did lose weight and study dialect): “I listened to hours of interviews,” Benjamin noted in the film’s production notes, “I watched films – watched his mannerisms.” To get that super chill attitude and inherent coolness? He didn’t really need to study.
