Kanye West Once Lost Audition to Andre 3000
. According to Gawker, West's audition tape was very unlike the general quality of his music - which is to say, it was bad. Really bad. He mysteriously wore an afro wig in the audition tape and seemed uncomfortable in his own skin, which cost him the part to Andre Benjamin, aka OutKast's Andre 3000, who's currently starring in the Jimi Hendrix biopic, Jimi: All Is By My Side. "This is for the role he lost to Andre Benjamin and it's very obvious why - he's a terrible actor," an anonymous tipster told Gawker. "He's wearing a ridiculous afro wig that he brought himself to the interview. He seems insecure and wooden through the whole tape, including some gems like: 'I did it much better in my dining room' and after the audition asking 'It's not great like I leave the office and not-so-great?'" more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
