Yeah, that's exactly what people want from Andre 3000 lmao or maybe it's that people don't want a guy who can't play the flute fucking around for an hour plus while tripping balls and thinking he can play flute.

I don't give a fuck about sales, I'm talking quality... Which this is not.
You don't have to tell me that shit sells these days, look no further than modern day rap and well, damn near modern day anything.
Most adults spend hours debating movies based on children's comics like it's the bible or the Koran, We live in a world full of dumb. Lol

The comments in that thread are priceless lmao
If I can be allowed to be honest. I think once white people give it the co-sign, the dick riders will come around. These are the same people that felt richer under the former administration and bemoans Biden’s mental health.Yeah, that's exactly what people want from Andre 3000 lmao or maybe it's that people don't want a guy who can't play the flute fucking around for an hour plus while tripping balls and thinking he can play flute.
Most of these people wouldn’t know an Andre verse if recited to them. I would even argue these Mothafuckas don’t even know rap or hip hop. Coons cosplaying as coloreds.
The man is the middle of Tokyo with a flute and not a gensu in tote. How fucking hip hop is that? We ain’t packing gats in the back of the Acs. Thats a free brother right there. How counter culture is that? He ain’t using his passport to avoid paying the local wage for pussy. The mothafucka is traveling in pursuit of his art.
I used to think he was blind when I was a kid.
Jazz has no Words either

Some Jazz albums feature words as well, but what they do feature is actual musicians who can play the instrument they're using. Andre can't play flute, not to save his life. Lol that's the part we all keep glancing over, people pretending that Andrew can play the flute.
He can not.
Imma just leave this right here.
I don't listen to flute solos much so I cannot critique
If I didn't know 3 stacks was playing I would have NEVER even sampled this.
it was "Fine"? I guess? I fell asleep so I think I can still give it something of a slight positive.
If Andre happy? Then I'm happy for him. I will probably never listen to this again.
It's okay if he doesn't want to rap anymore and chose to dedicate himself to the flute. And it's equally okay for me to not want to hear anything BUT rap from him.
I don't like amateur rap and apparently I don't like amateur flutists either.

Man just say what you're really thinking: "I'm not making a rap album because you idiots don't deserve anrap album"
Nah. He can play a bit. Not a virtuoso, but he’s pretty far beyond the equivalent of Lil Wayne on a guitar.Yeah, that's exactly what people want from Andre 3000 lmao or maybe it's that people don't want a guy who can't play the flute fucking around for an hour plus while tripping balls and thinking he can play flute.
The album is good trippy, vibe out music to me.
Bunch of D riders in the thread, as if smooth jazz, easy listening or fucking Chillhop doesn't exist
If he did a rap album he’d do 3 billion streams
Damn right.
Stacks should have waited till he was at least in the neighborhood before dropping this album

I’m imagining Those flutes are my dick. Bitch is classy and beautifully sexy
I'm off by about two months so basically the beginning of 99
....
Listened to all of it.
Love it. Beautiful music. Not for everyone, though.
But among the music that I enjoy, I like good instrumental music and I love atmospheric stuff like this. I enjoy sound design and interweaving textures, soundscapes and score music and ambient music. I'm a fan of John Cage, Yusef Lateef, Phil Cohran, Alice Coltrane and

...Music that breathes and develops...that occurs to you. It inspires me to create. This is good well-produced and engineered stuff. Tracks 4 and 5 reminded me of Offramp era Pat Metheny Group.
It is not categorically a flute album. It's a collaboration of musicians blending. It is difficult to tell when Andre is playing flute or someone else is. This was clearly intentional. He fits what he does within the song, as do the other musicians. They vibed together, creating as they went along. Each doing a small thing, listening and playing off of each other. They rise, fall and fluctuate together. Good intricate soundscapes going on.
Yeah, when I heard he was releasing an album I was anticipating some bars too. Disappointed? No.
I understand that great artists have big eyes and ears. They live their lives, experience life and explore artistically. For someone whose lyrical gifts are as unique and defined as his are, this album doesn't surprise me. I would expect him to step out and look for other ways to tell stories. Art cannot progress if it fears breaking barriers.
The vibes I get from New Blue Sun are peace and healing.
In this chaotic world, I welcome that.

He can not.
He doesn't play an orchestral flute. He plays these indigenous joints.
I gotta listen again. I thought it would be like 70s funk flute solos. It’s cool he is expanding horizons, but Hip-Hop is terrible right now.
