André 3000 released an instrumental flute album and Big Boi has an owl sanctuary. Outkast is really crushing those side quests! 😅

[@CharliFunk]

I love that we’re making a big deal about something he didn’t even ask for attention for. This is why he is amazing. He’s a constant inspiration

[@mzspinster]

This man is creativity personified. I love that he does what feels authentic to him.

[@gsamaven]

He looks so at peace

[@MissNoel82]

This is what you should expect out of life. To grow, change and evolve. I embrace that, and love his album! Honestly, I'm a little scared of people that never change. Where's the growth? Andre has evolved and it's beautiful!❤

[@mvib1604]

He has a right to evolve and do what inspires him at this time. Three Stacks gave us years of great hip hop. He doesn't owe anybody anything.

[@rybfish76]

The audience comes last to the artist, never first. ❤✌

[@angyllee7247]

Outkast made their historic mark. Andre can do whatever tf he want.

[@TheMysteryMachine]

i love his voice, it will eternally soothe me, and give me great memories. so much talent, so much soul and individuality.

[@niknikki86]

His uniqueness is soo sexy in so many ways. We appreciate your artistry Andre! Bars or no bars! ❤

[@YourMomsChevy]

As a musician, an artist, I agree 100%. RUclips receives my music, but I quit doing shows and social media in 2017. Yet I’ve released 3 albums this year and it’s virtually unknown. Yet my satisfaction has never been greater. I’m doing music that I like, without outside influences or reviews. You are your own biggest critic, and if you like it, it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks anyway. If they don’t like YOUR music then they can make their own right? ❤

[@MsIvy-tn2ud]

His soul is beautiful❤

[@Chinama104]

I always loved him. He was so different.

[@SuperFlyfisher101]

He's true to himself! Hes a great artist with many different talents!

[@lbstepney]

I actually love the album. I appreciate his realness and not wanting to be what others "expect" you to be. Change is real and aging should be synonymous of that. ❤
