I so so so agree. I LOVE Andre, but I never felt Big Boi got the credit he deserved as well. They are both equally important alone and together! They are one of my favorite groups of all time!
True, but the interview was focusing on Andre's latest album. Him & Big Boi are in touch with each other, understand each other, and it sounds like they don't pressure each other. Now, that's what you call a real friend--when one LISTENS and UNDERSTANDS and RESPECTS where you are and let's you do you. Priceless.
@@leewightman8619Short said that was just a way to get a better contract from Jive Records so it was all a ploy for a better deal...that's not a retirement! 😂😂😂
@@humanbeing4021everyone uses the Stones as an example to musicians not retiring but there are other musicians who have legitimately retired either because they weren't in demand anymore or were just sick of the music industry so yes, it does happen
If you listen to Erykah Badu’s music, it’s easy to understand Andre 3000. The two were quite compatible now that the new album is out. Their music individually was always from elevation and what’s next vs. what everyone else is doing.
I think Eminem is that way. His early work was amazing when he was young and hungry going through tough things in his personal life, but when he became famous The quality of his rep went downhill. He should have retired quietly and stuck to helping new ones get started.
I loved the ambient album fr. And while he’s easily in my top 3 best rappers of all time, I’m so happy to see him exploring new creative pursuits he enjoys.
Andre is doing things his way because he wants to…not because he feels like he has to do an album for the industry. Some rappers continue to put out trash albums and just end up being a shell of themselves…others decides to hit the brakes and step out the light to do other things and I respect that more. I love what Andre had put out…for me I listen to instrumental music like that to have some peace to my thoughts, to help me sleep at night and listing to it definitely helped calm my busy mind…I’m with the vibes
Andre is truly an inspirational story. He went from being from a place where nobody recognised talent to making tne best selling rap album of all time in 2003 (the biggest year in US hip hop history...kind of). Not only that, but let's be honest, Atlanta is the biggest city in hip hop of all time, surpassing even New York now. Sure, NY is the hip hop capital but ATL has been running the game since at least 2004 and will probably do so for another 20 years. It was Outkast that put them on the map.
@@Mar1copa I agree, it wasn't the best era. I was born in 1985 and I actually prefer the current era to the 2000s, because all we had back then was generic gangsta rap and corny pop rap with basic rhymes. Now we have gangsta rap (Lil Durk, Pop Smoke, Meek Mill), commercial rap (Drake, Cardi B, Megan), and lyrical rap (J Cole, Kendrick). At least it shows BALANCE. Just like the 90s when you had gangsta rap (Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, Mobb Deep), commercial rap (Vanilla Ice, L L Cool J, MC Hammer) and lyrical rap (Nas, Common,Az). The 90s version of this is of course the better one but still, the 2000s was probably the worst decade of rap.
It’s refreshing to see a rapper really dive into a completely different genre. People tend to forget that we artists are people too and sometimes we get bored or just can’t make what people want us to, so we make what we can if we can at all.
It doesn't help to have the crushing weight of several all time classics in your back catalogue pulling your down each time you make an attempt to persist in your original genre.
I like when Andre 3000 rapped. “Spaceships don’t come equipped with rear view mirrors they dip.” Meaning he’s on a Journey and trying to see how far he can go without looking back.
I honestly think it’s one of the most creative masterpieces of our time. He’s making a statement with the album itself, as a stamp that music is ART and he takes you there .. #ANDRE3000THEGOAT 🐐
His Flute album is deeper than most can understand.. Its not for entertaining its for enlightment. Speaking through the instrument without using word is something our Ancestors did. Coded messages.. I salute the God for this. 🫡✊🏾 💯
This question has been asked and answered ad nauseam. A lot of people just haven't been listening to him or they don't like the basic simplicity of his answer. Personally, I love the way Andre has handled his career and, more importantly, I love the fact that he is doing exactly what he wants to do and not what his fans or corporate goons want him to do.
Most people don't understand that a genuine artist has to be in tune with their inner self or conscious to express themselves in any form of art,even though, most do it for financial gain.But, this is why they go into seclusion or solitude to meditate and connect with their thoughts and guidance.This is where creativity for greatness begins.
I didn't know I could make a rock song until I really wanted to and the energy came out, I didn't know I could write females until the story called for a female character and she was the first one who spoke, I didn't know I could make art on my phone without a stylist now I'm a full blown professional digital mural flip artist, I didn't know I could dance with shoes 3 sizes too big until I went on the dance floor and created a new style, I really wanted to dance. Being a subconscious artist is the way to go and much easier than trying to control the path.
Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y" Nothin' is for sure nothin', is for certain, nothin' lasts forever But until they close the curtain (y'all know) It's him and I, Aquemini
Why? Because Big Boi wanted to continue making Hip-Hop/Rap Music and Andre 3000, besides being on features really could not do it on his own. Maybe both Andre 3000 & Jay Electronica can do an album together by 2034.
@@SwagSurf-od3vx that’s an excuse? I guess. I mean if he doesn’t want to put out music then he doesn’t have to. There’s no excuses. I’m just saying what might have been a factor. 🤷🏽♀️ It’s not deep.
Mr.Andrea 3000 is a legend in his own right. As an artist for more than a decade, awards for his music as well as having his own unique skills and style blend. I have nothing but respect for the accomplishments made in his career. Mr 3000 has transcended to the next level. The challenge as a professional artist in hip hop has been accomplished. Just stay out of his way as he finds his way to conquer new challenges and accomplishments. Bravo Mr 3000 Bravo.
Many of the artists from New York and California have family from the South. Snoop is from Mississippi, and Nas folks are from the Carolinas. People migrated during the Great Migration. The sound from the Souf is powerful in every way. Love the video ❤
Besides DOOM he's my #1. Always will be. The music he's made is a part of me. As it is with all the other true Andre fans. Outkast fans. Love him so much. 😊
Can’t believe I never heard of Andre 3000 before l. His flute album was pretty good I love the sound of the flute and it wasn’t boring it was more chill and relaxing. I put it on once to fall asleep then my dad woke me up saying “what are you listening too?” But I believe this new album holds something special for the future of Hip-Hop and Rap in general, setting a new wave for future artists. It’s a great album in that sense and also just purely beautiful music.
His new album is not a hip hop album. Respects to him for creating the music he wants to create but he needs to drop a solo hip hop album because people keep calling him the best rapper ever. As a group Outkast in my top 10 as one of the best hip hop groups. ATLians is one of my favorite albums ever.
@@Mak0154The love below was not a hiphop album either beside the last song. That album changed hiphop forever. Same with Lauren Hill and even Kanye. Those are the people that are the reason why hiphop is more melodic now.
@@Waluigi-mm8hk So an instrumental album is going to make modern hiphop artists stop rapping and play real instruments? Did you think before you type that? The Love Below, Miseducation, and Kanye's music still had hiphop elements in it.
@@Mak0154 No Im not saying that Will happen. Albums like this where artists try something new is what moves and changes the Sound of genres. Im not saying this Will do what those other albums did, but i Think it Will inspire some artists to try something new and more experimental yes. But no i dont Think the mainstream Will be all flutes obviously. My point is that just because its not a hiphop sounding album, it Can still change hiphop like the others did. It probably wont though, but its possible
I’ve come to accept that Andre is just not a solo artist and never was from the start. He’s always had someone to rap with and therefore doesn’t want to do it solo. We made the mistake of thinking he’s a solo rap artist. He isn’t. This is why he’s finding peace and inspiration in woodwind instruments and when he feels like rapping he consistently does features and that’s what it’s gonna be.
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, the double album he and Big Boi did, they each rapped solo on their separate albums. They put that project out as an OutKast project, but they each rapped solo. So, what are you saying?
Todays Rap scene is full of idol worship, it’s sickening Call it what it is…writers block. Nothing mystical about Andrea departure from Hip Hop. L-Boogie did the same thing. Even him stepping into a jazz type genre isn’t new. Dj Quick had a modern jazz song Quicks Grooves on everyone of his albums. 20+ years before Andrea picked up the Flute. And 92 the Bestie Boys played their first concert playing live instruments moving more into the punk genre.
One things for sure, he definitely has a strong fan base. Because the only reason that flute album is getting a single stream is because it’s Three Stacks.
Watever he chooses to do,, bottom line,, he gave us greatness and he's a dam humble dude...compared to wat someone with his stature ends up being...salute 3k
Amazing artist I’m from Atlanta and he represented Atlanta but I don’t know about his new album I’m not a fan of instrumental album but it’s a calm peace album
Idc what anybody’s saying about this album. Andre is pushing the boundaries of what artistry looks like. Like a true “Outkast” would. I’ve been sleeping like a baby to this project. 💤
Bro, he has been transcended rap. He's a legitimate definition of a true artist. He raps, paints, plays instruments, acts, etc. There's nothing he can do, and ppl let bro do him. Maybe he'll feel comfortable to give them what they want if they respect what kinda timing he's on. He elevates the term entertainer because he's always done what he felt. So let him vibe. He just gave us a freestyle album, except with a wind instrument instead of words.
People blame Erykah for this Dre said it himself he doesn’t want to rap at 50 years old people should respect his decision Erykah ain’t got nothing to do with him not rapping Dre’s been in the game since 94 if it’s his decision to not rap then leave him alone
@@torianmcneill3794 💯 Dre gotta a point, but I still get hype when I hear his contemporaries spazz on a track, they like my big bros and whenever they go in as fans I feel, we win. I don't want to push bro outta his zone maybe he'll feel different later.
I miss Outkast and Andre, but totally already understood why they wanted to step back. The entertainment business is toxic af and eats away at your soul.
Id love a solo album from 3 stacks but the way he's been doing it with rap these last several years I've loved. just surprise us with a feature on somebody's song ? Its felt special everytime.
How Andre Leave Hip Hop, ……him , Oukast, Dungeon Family, Organized Noise, are part of Hip Hops foundation. Just because A grown family man, is making music that isn’t catering to anybody specifically. Andre 3000 has left enough gems for us recite into the future, and here we are……..Andre 3000 is his own genre, give thanks that he is enjoying his life whilst still creating something new and never done like this, that Hip Hop in its essence . A movement, not a genre.
a lot of the “industry” standard of success, is based on non-sustainable ideals, such as ONLY being focused on making more and more money in order to finance a increasingly dysfunctional lifestyle that is devoid of happiness and peace. his new album (and the reasons for its creation) are the exact opposite.
But that’s part of the beauty of it, he’s introducing a lot more people to ambient music who otherwise wouldn’t know how much they’d enjoy it. This is the first ambient album I’ve listened to and I love it; it’s gotten me to really explore (and enjoy) the genre more.
IKR? If you actually like this style, give praise to the people that have been doing this their whole lives, not Andre. There are probably hundreds of more skilled flute players, yet people act like he made the album of the year even tho they dont care about the style.
He was smart. He got his money and got out. He is an artist. He made it all the way to the top. Has nothing to prove to anybody. I'd be happy with wtvr He decides. It's his life.
There’s more to life than drugs, abusing girls, and money. Life has a more meaningful concept that one tries to fulfill. Being in a depressed state isn’t one of them.
I mean when's the last time you heard CeeLo Green rap on an album don't forget he used to rap when he was part of Goodie Mob and part of the dungeon family.
His new album is not a hip hop album. Respects to him for creating the music he wants to create however he needs to drop a solo hip hop album because people keep calling him the best rapper ever. As a group Outkast in my top 10 as one of the best hip hop groups. ATLians is one of my favorite albums ever.
Ummmm…. ANDRE 3000 didn’t like the way they were trvna divide him and big boi especially during the idlewild album. He always wanted to show love to the contributions as a group and have ppl see OutKast as OutKast not Andre 3000 and the group. Like Big Boi needs his flowers too as one of the best to do it. And another thing too OutKast we’re highly scrutinized for their music u can hear it in their versus on multiple projects. They BOTH pushed the culture musically and lyrically. Criticism, fake business ppl, ppl who don’t see them as human like them, and just constant controversy can take the fun away from anything.
While 'New Blue Sun' hasn't particularly wowed me, I don't think it's nearly as bad as a lot of the haters like to say it is. I do applaud his artistic direction and I hope this move liberates other artists - regardless of genre - into doing what their true creative soul yearns to do. With that, he has my full support.
To me when it comes to the GOAT Rapper Conversation. I believe Andre 3000 is the GOAT Rapper Of All Time. The fact that he has given us so much an almost 30 year career. One Half of the greatest hip-hop duo and some of the most iconic guest verses of all time. I appreciate his artistry and authenticity. The fact that he stepped away from Hip-Hop has earned my respect. He is at creative and artistic peace.
Big Boi is just as important to the success of Outkast as Andre 3000. I miss those two together.
💯💯💯💯
I so so so agree. I LOVE Andre, but I never felt Big Boi got the credit he deserved as well. They are both equally important alone and together! They are one of my favorite groups of all time!

Love big boy and outkast but Andre 3000 would go platinum without him. So would big boi

I’m pretty sure they playing flutes behind doors 😂

Andre 3000 has left enough gems for us recite into the future, and here we are……..Andre 3000 is his own genre, give thanks that he is enjoying his life whilst still creating something new and never done like this, that Hip Hop in its essence . A movement, not a genre.
a lot of the “industry” standard of success, is based on non-sustainable ideals, such as ONLY being focused on making more and more money in order to finance a increasingly dysfunctional lifestyle that is devoid of happiness and peace. his new album (and the reasons for its creation) are the exact opposite.
He doesn't release new music but he does features on other people's music he also released his last EP and 2018.
I think hes quirky sexy. I think hes the coolest rapper ever. I thoroughly enjoy his journey. Flower on
I’ve already listened to his new album in full twice.
Lets be real if someone else made the flute album, y'all would NOT be praising like y'all are rn😂
But that’s part of the beauty of it, he’s introducing a lot more people to ambient music who otherwise wouldn’t know how much they’d enjoy it. This is the first ambient album I’ve listened to and I love it; it’s gotten me to really explore (and enjoy) the genre more.
Fax,all of a sudden mfers are into flutes and shit🤣
IKR? If you actually like this style, give praise to the people that have been doing this their whole lives, not Andre. There are probably hundreds of more skilled flute players, yet people act like he made the album of the year even tho they dont care about the style.
Bro 3k could fart on a track “the ass got something to say “ yall heard us 😂😂
Sad but it's true.
He was smart. He got his money and got out. He is an artist. He made it all the way to the top. Has nothing to prove to anybody. I'd be happy with wtvr He decides. It's his life.
There’s more to life than drugs, abusing girls, and money. Life has a more meaningful concept that one tries to fulfill. Being in a depressed state isn’t one of them.
Maaan you had to be at FreakNic the spring that Outkast came out….that moment was 🔥
Its so sad, that the rapper, just couldn't work together! What love that would've brought!
????
I mean when's the last time you heard CeeLo Green rap on an album don't forget he used to rap when he was part of Goodie Mob and part of the dungeon family.
He was great in 4 brothers with legendary rapper marky mark
I got mad love for 3 stacks but I'm good on that flute album
Me 2
Just be you ❤❤❤❤
His new album is not a hip hop album. Respects to him for creating the music he wants to create however he needs to drop a solo hip hop album because people keep calling him the best rapper ever. As a group Outkast in my top 10 as one of the best hip hop groups. ATLians is one of my favorite albums ever.
you dont need a 10min video for this explanation
he simply just got old and hip hop is for the youth
Ummmm…. ANDRE 3000 didn’t like the way they were trvna divide him and big boi especially during the idlewild album. He always wanted to show love to the contributions as a group and have ppl see OutKast as OutKast not Andre 3000 and the group. Like Big Boi needs his flowers too as one of the best to do it. And another thing too OutKast we’re highly scrutinized for their music u can hear it in their versus on multiple projects. They BOTH pushed the culture musically and lyrically. Criticism, fake business ppl, ppl who don’t see them as human like them, and just constant controversy can take the fun away from anything.
What Outk was doing isn't hip hop. It requires it's own genre. Never really understood that stuff.
Also rap doesnt make any money except for the labels. Most rich rappera make most thier money from side businesses.
Just because he released an album where he doesn't rap doesn't mean you shouldn't say something and express yourself.
this is real hip-hop
That Doug Flutie album was crazy wild
While 'New Blue Sun' hasn't particularly wowed me, I don't think it's nearly as bad as a lot of the haters like to say it is. I do applaud his artistic direction and I hope this move liberates other artists - regardless of genre - into doing what their true creative soul yearns to do. With that, he has my full support.
That ish dope to me. I am actually listening to it now waiting for my students to show up for dance class at 6.
André 3000 was and will forever be a legend
He knew when to walk away. Plus, his art wouldn’t be appreciated in these days, so what would be the point?
Exactly
Two words : Heterosexual Male ✊🏾
3K the realest.
This video is so over padded
André 3000 just stay true to yourself oh means necessary that’s all I can say that your spirit and God guide you
To me when it comes to the GOAT Rapper Conversation. I believe Andre 3000 is the GOAT Rapper Of All Time. The fact that he has given us so much an almost 30 year career. One Half of the greatest hip-hop duo and some of the most iconic guest verses of all time. I appreciate his artistry and authenticity.
The fact that he stepped away from Hip-Hop has earned my respect. He is at creative and artistic peace.
