"Hip-hop is moving into that stage like how rock 'n' roll did – it grew up"
"We messed around and played a lot of music," said the OutKast rapper and soloist
"I want another OutKast album"
It comes after the musician suggested he was getting too old to rap
The former OutKast man had made the comments in a recent GQ interview
The opening track of his new album 'New Blue Sun' clocks in at over 12 minutes
"Even now people think, oh, man, he’s just sitting on raps"
"He was like, ‘You got to remind people who you are'"
It also involved a call to Jay-Z himself: "Hey man, can you ask Beyoncé?"
The album is released on Friday (November 17)
