[Dr. Truth]

Yall niggas are pathetic. Ya'll will listen to shit and think it's the sweet sounds of a baby's diarrhea. Fuck out of here. Andre 3000k put out a lot of wack shit but yall will accept it, embrace it, emulate it, and swear it's the next hot shit when it's just bullshit. Nigga putting out an album with just wood instruments and already this thread is 2 pages?

He said he has writers block, unlike big boy.

Dude keeps releasing albums no one asked for. Everyone wants Outkast but dude is just selfish and wants to go solo.

You will get the real Andre.....him on the flute

He doesn't have writers block, he has fear of composing and putting out an album. He's talked about it.

Lol in a kilt.

I know some of rabid 3 Stacks dickgobblers got your mouth raging and watering for some sucking only to be disappointed with a type of album you would find at the local free library or given to free by Hare Krishnas.

Say it again . Gone be disappointment like the Jay Electronica album

3000 goes to the beat of his own drum and he has been since the 2nd album came out with Outkast. Honestly he fucked up a lot of money, why that is I don't know. Maybe fame was too much for him. Hell Tupac has put out more music than 3000 and he's been dead for almost 30 years. As a fan you feel cheated because you know how talented he is and you feel like he could have made all this dope music but hey I guess that's life you know.

He has the same phobia as Dr. Dre that people won’t like his music. He’s a perfectionist and doesn’t like what he puts out because of that fear of haters. I feel him, it’s a shitty feeling. It’s why he wanted Tyler the creator and Frank Ocean to hear it in private to see if he thinks younger people will like it.

 

[34real]

That's why Andre's been gone and walking around playing a flute cause niggas is talking about how he's going to return lol.

That Jap man's miyogi voice is classic and how he say's Andre

I ain't read all shit either I skimmed through it just because it was Dre.

Yeah I believe I heard that about him before and also he's had writer's block at times. That's crazy because he's written some of the dopest bars I've ever heard.

 

[tallblacknyc]

Andre 3000 doing a versus with Kenny g but with flutes

 

[yaBoi]

No bars?? Wtf is it??

Jay Z and others have lamented the same...how they have grown as people and their fan base are stuck in the same mode in music and in life.

"Niggas want my old shit, buy my old album"
-Jay Z.

Dude listened to worldwide music or his camp did, to be able to do those collaborations and use some of those beats, while his fans were listening to the same old 808 and trap beats.

It's a shame that Trick Daddy and Master P music will be Ols School Classics to some people.

Not too long ago, a guy I know saw Andre 3000 walking down the streets of the west side of Cleveland just blowing his flute.

My dude found peace. That's all I can hope for for anybody. He didn't do this album for us, he did it for him. For those of us who want to follow him on his journey, we are welcome. For all of those who want old Andre 3000, buy his old shit

 

[godofwine]

Oh boy.

This rarely turns out well. For one thing, people don't respond well to complete, 180° changes in musical direction.

For another, Rap is a genre of Pop music, whether folks want to acknowledge it or not. And Pop music and Pop music artists don't age well. Hence the term Pop, as in popular. What happens is the majority of listeners who connect with you are fairly close in age to you so you're singing/rapping their experiences and feelings. As both you and your audience age you gain more wisdom (hopefully) and perspective and your outlook changes.

There are very, very few Pop musicians who have longevity. I'm not talking about the ones who keep doing shows of their old material, I'm talking about ones who consistently come up with new material in the Pop vein as they age.

Well, good luck to him. I'll probably give it a listen but I don't expect much.

As I said in the earlier post, he is doing this for him. This is his journey. If you want to ride on the journey with him, get in the back seat, he's pulling off in a couple minutes. If you don't, that's your choice.

A lot of artists have done pivots and some of them have actually been successful. Look at Marvin Gaye Circa 1968 and Marvin Gaye Circa 1975. Look at Marvin Gaye Circa 1978. Looking Marvin Gaye Circa 1982

Andre gonna do the mega man theme

Y'all ain't got no God damn sense. I love you all motherfuckers. I show up here everyday and get at least a half a dozen laughs on a bad day.
