The thing that I find funny about Andre is it seems "fans" who are disappointed about him NOT doing a rap album is two fold. One, I get it he's GOOD. One of the most unique and creative at rapping. Two, if you did not pay attention to how he crafted his image mainly his fashion sense, you missed what kind of creative his is. This direction doesn't surprise me in the least.
That part. High level thinking though so of course it’s not going to the masses POV. The music can be a healing boon. Allow us to process how much the world as shifted and changed in such a short period of time. 3 Stacks said himself, he’s 48 now, he doesn’t want to rap about what fans want. He went in the lab, and this beautiful piece of work. I think it’s liberating.
I see Andre 3000's new album, as a continuation of the tradition of the experimental, abstract, ambient jazz of Sun Ra, but for the contemporary age. With the rise of the COVID-19 crisis, I've found that ambient music (which I create a bit myself too and love this style more than any other) has really become much more pervasive than ever before, even if it has only breached the mainstream with "New Blue Sun." There are a ton of traditions of ambient music, with Brian Eno, Suzanne Ciani from the 1970s, to Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tangerine Dream of the 1980s, to Seefeel, Aphex Twin of the 1990s, Kaityn Aurelia Smith, Boards of Canada of the 2000s... etc.... etc... The difference is that Andre 3000 is a mainstream act performing ambient genre and so has much more attention.
yea the freedom in music was very seldom up until this ,of course we get underground artists making their stuff from home ,but to let Andre be himself its like the door opened again to make something that transcends past popularity and familiarity .. I like stuff you gotta break down , i just hear this new cat DJ Trak aka Drunk poet . please check him out you wont be dissapointed. I havent heard anything like it in a while , and gave me the vibes of this new 3k album . if he keeps it up he"ll be a household name , peace and blessings yall
AVAA the way you summarized the way that capitalism can turn creativity into units of labor and paralleled that with the labor of blue color workers was so fucking smooth. Great work on the whole video!
I haven’t seen enough of your videos to know your feelings on Future (or Trap in general), but Mask Off is a good modern example of flute in Hip Hop. Wow by Jay Rock and K Dot is another example.
Andre added a dimension to rap that changed everything and at the same time could not be replicated, not even close. His phonetic riddles, metaphors, and etymological design never got in the way of his flow which is rare. Listen to his verse on thought process by goodie mob, gives me chills to this day. The fact that he allowed himself to evolve as an artist and a human rather that holding on tightly to an image of himself as the greatest rapper shows that he’s a real one. OutKast forever.
Speaking of flute: Bjork played some filler flute on her latest album this year, having studied as a child, and occasionally but almost unnoticeably putting in some flute in her various albums...
You may want to check out, among other artists, Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders, the Chicago Art Ensemble and Kamasi Washington. There is a whole historical context that this album fits into that I think would provide a relevant perspective and, perhaps, greater appreciation. Just a suggestion.
AVAA for the killer praise of Andre's anti-capitalist statement, maybe my favorite thing about this channel is that even when you don't fall in love with the musical content you can find beautiful things about the artist's personal accomplishment, the work as a whole as it functions and finds space in the musical landscape, and more. In this way you are giving meaning to art for both crowds of people that do and do not enjoy the music, and thus deepening the conversation so far past the diminutive "trash" or "hard" conversation. On that note, I find it so bizarre that when you watch a hip-hop streamer react to an album, even from their favorite artist, the conversation is about how many "good" songs there are, so after three tracks it's 3/3 and the album is, what, good? Never a real appreciation for the creation of an entire body of work!
Bosa Nova got tagged as elevator music, it is only fair Ambiental Jazz gets tagged as massage music 🥲. If anyone wants to dig into something close to what’s Andre up to, look into Pharaoh Sanders ✌️ new subscriber - phenomenal review! ✊
i literally have a boss who says he doesn’t like jazz but when i was talking about bossanova he said he loves it, i then asked him “you know thats just brazilian jazz with like samba influence” and he goes no thats “lounge music” Joan Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto and Antoni Carlos Jobim do not deserve this man🥲🥲🥲
The peace is incredible. I felt like a creator God the whole day. I played it non stop in my headphones and created several days of creative work in one day. The album seemed to have changed my mitochondria. I felt so redelivered. Refreshed. Brand new. Like it gave me a direct unlogged memory of another life or flying around in the heavens. It definitely inspires mental flight. I absolutely love it. My new fav obsession. Thank Andre, you are a beautiful soul.🙏
I think Andrée has arrived to the point he realizes that silent will be better than noise of words for now . When you see that all what you have been talking to your rap songs can not really change much in people because they still continue to do what they are doing although your words ; there you realize the only person to be safe is yourself and there you stay quiet. He has stayed quiet with his flute. This Andrée album called me I have hesitated so much to listen but it continues to come until I listen there I realized is what I love.
I was making a video on my Thanksgiving walk, AVAA, and noticed a red-tailed hawk sitting in a tree near me... before I finished my video, that hawk had swooped down, caught his Thanksgiving dinner, and was eating it! I have heard portions of Andre's new album and found it a bit underwhelming musically... I don't know his earlier music by comparison, but this album sounds to me like he did well enough with that so he doesn't mind us hearing him relaxing on this one...
I appreciate how you always dive deeper than surface feeling and information. Granted, si hoc legere scis nimium eruditiones habes, but you pull it all together in this delightfully improvised manner I love. Thank you. Also, yeah... The response has been much more tolerant than I expected. I shamefully have to admit I kinda like some playful scat-slinging though.
The album "Brass", with Moor Mother, and Billy Woods has some cool flutes in it. Have you listened to this album, Elucid is also featured on it? It's one of my favorites. Also, I really like what you said about Andre 3000, "We kept an Artist".
Great Flute Hip-Hop: Diamond D. - Sally Got A One Track Mind Algorithm - 3 M’s (lyrics are phenomenal about American Imperialism and how it infiltrates other countries)
You know that "lack" of correct grammar is the art form that displays the 'breaking out' of tradition (This sentence itself is a good example lol). Similar to patois of the Caribbean vernaculars. Love your breakdowns by the way
Wow, what an incredible take on 3K’s new artistic expression {{AVAA}} Let’s all come back to this analysis video when Andre drops rap album of the decade produced by Inflo!??? 👀🙏🏾✨
The point being missed is that humanity is absolutely ready for meditation and peace. The essence of that in itself is empowering and massively more productive. You’d have to be awaken get it.
6:33 genuinely liked it. I’m fan of Jazz so I thought it was amazing 9:48 I drove through the mountains and went off roading listening. My favorite favorite track is buy polo disorder
AVAA Andre definitely doesn’t have a mainstream cinematic career anymore, but he’s had supporting roles in a few indie films I’ve really enjoyed over the past couple of years, specifically High Life, and Showing Up.
I Love This Album I love Andre as an artist period. Im an artist myself musician, hip hop emcee, farmer, father growth is part of art because art is life...... Coming live and direct from ATL Georgia 🖖🏿👐🏿
(I know she’s a bit controversial at the moment. No comment on the workplace mistreatment allegations) Lizzo has won four Grammies as a rapper and is also arguably the most famous flautist in the world right now. And I don’t mean that as like a charity, gimmick thing, she went to college for flute. She played flute at the library of Congress, including a glass flute owned by John Adams, and it made Ben Shapiro really mad for super normal and not gross reasons.
He didn't "beat capitalism", he's been riding it like a wave since his career began. And the same is true for every other artists that you mentioned on your list. None of these people are putting out mixtapes and distributing their own material. It weren't for Corporate America they wouldn't have careers at all.
Andre is and has been on several movies in the past two years or so. Mostly Netflix/streaming movies sure but some do get theatrical runs. Just saying.
I can't really compare other songs with flute to this because the flute those other songs are using us a fundamentally different type of instrument. The indigenous flute is a very different type of sound than the orchestra or band flute.
in my rasta hippy days in highschool while also having never smoked or seen weed in person at the time. I was really in tune with ambient music and made ambient style music sometimes. I feel like the world will never be ready for it because at least to me thats what music originally started out as. A sound that just was nice. Remember that sound and going out of your way to recreate it or find it. Like the sound of the shore is music, very peaceful natural music. You also could sit on the shore and listen to the ambient sound for hours. People today just don't sit down to take anything in. I draw primarily now. More and more I find the reason why my art never really catches on with anyone. The idea of actually looking at an image longer than a second. Actually meditating on that image and actually thinking about an image by just LOOKIng is in the past. The amount of people who have lost or have no interest in the ability to simply look around is sad. Eye candy is more than simple complimentary ideas. The only people who can look are other artists, people who actually go to galleries and such for the art and general actual art appreciators. Hell this is sad. I'm not old and out of touch yet but I'm still in my early 20's and its starting. I'm extremely baffled by the new meme yappin. Online there was already huge push against actual in depth conversation. Back then political figures and people with ideas of a new world wrote essays to explain those complex ideas. Essay pamphlets or short story style manifestos. Any of those thinkers today would get told "Where's the TL:DR" "I'm not reading allat." I feel like a summary to a book needs a TLDR. I'm afraid we will get to a point in the human experience that not only can we not appreciate the small things but we can't even understand the beauty in this complex life, simple complexity and how that complexity is beautiful and how EVERY ASPECT, IDEA, OR EXPERIENCE no matter the size IN LIFE CANNOT BE REDUCED TO ONE SENTENCE. This album is extremely great in an artistic sense and also instrumentally. But art is on its last limbs i think, probably cant feel it now but in the future I wouldn't be surprised if there's a sort of cultural revolutions against capitalism making life in general very bland. I often think about this in terms of architecture. From a business standpoint it doesn't make sense to have beautifully almost handcrafted buildings. I HAVE to mark up the rental or buyout price. It's like no you don't. I have made beautiful drawings that I could make a hundred to a few hundred dollars and sold them for less, the beauty is not all mine or a rich person to have. When did beauty have a price or even a reason to BE. JUST MAKE GOOD THINGS BECAUSE YOU CAN and because its beautiful. We live in a future where we could create or nurture more wonders of the world but actively choose not too. Actively choose to plague the world instead. Think about the human race as one culture. Capitalism destroys culture. Capitalism runs on problems. It runs on a sick world so the cure can be sold but its more so a partial cure so you keep buying "the cure". It runs on everything that is against culture and beauty and in general actual growth from the mind, body, and spirit. I think its too late to fix. The average joe will look at your insta feed of ART, whether it be a drawing, a dance, a meme, and ask what type of content do you make?
AVAA. There's a bit of a Renaissance within Ambient at the moment. Artists are going beyond that massage room stereotype by making more personal and emotionally specific songs within this style. Ana Roxane, Pendant/Huerco S, Cole Pulice, Laaraji, Salamanda, Nondi, KMRU, Whatever the Weather, Nala Sephinro and many more have all used Ambient as a way to make personal mood pieces. I think one thing that really stands out in the new wave is the use of unrelaxing and downright stressful sounds within the music, to disrupt the peacefulness and make you pay more attention. Ambient is also very interesting in that it sits at the intersection of so many genres. Dance producers, jazz musicians and traditional musicians are all embracing it. It's kind of like when dishes from on opposite ends of the world end up having similarities despite having different histories and ingredients. I came into Ambient through uk dance music, (James holden, floating points etc), but it's also made me embrace jazz and traditional music because of the bridge its created. I think andre 3000 killed it, and this will have done wonders for the L.a. ambient scene, which was already flourising.
Bruhhh 😂😂😂😂 coconut water is NOT just water where they throw a coconut into the water!!!! Lmaoooo I’m laughing so hard I’m seeing double as I write this comment 😂😂😂😂😂 my guess is you’ve never cracked or seen anyone crack a coconut open while it still has water in it 😂😂😂😂😂😂 imma send you some coconuts in the mail my man I want you to enjoy cracking them open and partaking of the refreshing beverage that is coconut water
I do agree that the slang word pussy rolls off the tongue with far better ease than the proper word vagina, but the proper word is unambiguous while the slang word might refer to a wimp or a cat
ok, this is a great analysis but is the Album any good? no not really, it's below average, an amalgamation of sonic memes, people in the comments are Comparing him to Sun Ra and other Jazz greats and here's the issue I have with the Album, Jazz is the classical music of the Black American, they are musicians at the top of their game, masters of their craft, Andre Has taken a flute and wandered around playing rudimentary chords. Andre said the whole thing was improvised, nothing planned "It just came out", like a child blowing away on a wood instrument and the parent saying "Oh isn't he good" yeah, maybe but give Andre a pat on the head and encourage him to go practice, learn the instrument, play a few anonymous, small backroom gigs, a few downtown bars otherwise he's just a privileged artist indulging himself, without his collaborator this would be even worse than it already is.
Im 40 underground artist.....with how life goes the microphone is my therapist....now that im 40 i rap better then when i was 25. More interesting topics...things that experience drop a song filled with tons of experiences and emotions...... Its all the inspiration wave when we got old.....when wer re young we wanna be in studio everyday cause we re filled with inspiration determination to be heard.....when you get old we have windows of opportunity when inspiration comes so its vital when one break of inspiration happens rap some nice bars ...... Inspiration and getting older is tough .....hes exccuse of rapping about is butt hole is a sorry excuse...i dont understand why he cant explan in detail....hes suppose to be a great word smith. I dont see it....
The thing that I find funny about Andre is it seems "fans" who are disappointed about him NOT doing a rap album is two fold. One, I get it he's GOOD. One of the most unique and creative at rapping. Two, if you did not pay attention to how he crafted his image mainly his fashion sense, you missed what kind of creative his is. This direction doesn't surprise me in the least.
Exactly
Not surprised at all and still my fav artist of all time all albums considered
That part. High level thinking though so of course it’s not going to the masses POV.
The music can be a healing boon. Allow us to process how much the world as shifted and changed in such a short period of time. 3 Stacks said himself, he’s 48 now, he doesn’t want to rap about what fans want. He went in the lab, and this beautiful piece of work. I think it’s liberating.
It would be cool if other musicians follow his lead and act fearlessly on their artistic choices and products. Glad that it was PRODUCED at all.
Okay, so will you consider listening then?
I see Andre 3000's new album, as a continuation of the tradition of the experimental, abstract, ambient jazz of Sun Ra, but for the contemporary age. With the rise of the COVID-19 crisis, I've found that ambient music (which I create a bit myself too and love this style more than any other) has really become much more pervasive than ever before, even if it has only breached the mainstream with "New Blue Sun."

The difference is that Andre 3000 is a mainstream act performing ambient genre and so has much more attention.
not for years
Absolutely. Ambient has expanded its audience in recent years, and lo-fi hip hop is gaining more listeners as well.
Yes. Thank you for this comment.
yea the freedom in music was very seldom up until this ,of course we get underground artists making their stuff from home ,but to let Andre be himself its like the door opened again to make something that transcends past popularity and familiarity .. I like stuff you gotta break down , i just hear this new cat DJ Trak aka Drunk poet . please check him out you wont be dissapointed.

AVAA the way you summarized the way that capitalism can turn creativity into units of labor and paralleled that with the labor of blue color workers was so fucking smooth. Great work on the whole video!
That was brilliant. It spoke to the revolutionary Marxist in me. 😊
Cause this thing called rhymin no different from gold minin’…Mos Def
Andre’s been acting this whole time, most recently in 2022. Both film and TV roles
Respect to Professor Skye. You've got a new subscriber. Excellent analysis and review.
Mask Off by Future is the definitive, legendary, rap/flute song. It can be done!!!
I haven’t seen enough of your videos to know your feelings on Future (or Trap in general), but Mask Off is a good modern example of flute in Hip Hop. Wow by Jay Rock and K Dot is another example.
Ay big ups to for pointing how the discord around the album has been good. I was so pleasantly surprised the love it’s getting!
You got me at colonoscopy & «good year for flute» 😭
It’s a great year for aging 🎉🎉🎉
Andre added a dimension to rap that changed everything and at the same time could not be replicated, not even close. His phonetic riddles, metaphors, and etymological design never got in the way of his flow which is rare. Listen to his verse on thought process by goodie mob, gives me chills to this day.

Forget Units. Think Universe. I'll definitely listen Now.
You may want to check out, among other artists, Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders, the Chicago Art Ensemble and Kamasi Washington. There is a whole historical context that this album fits into that I think would provide a relevant perspective and, perhaps, greater appreciation. Just a suggestion.
“Little ghetto boy” Dre and Snoop, plenty of flute in there. 😂
AVAA for the killer praise of Andre's anti-capitalist statement, maybe my favorite thing about this channel is that even when you don't fall in love with the musical content you can find beautiful things about the artist's personal accomplishment, the work as a whole as it functions and finds space in the musical landscape, and more.

Just think what other instrumental music might open up for you!
Wow, such lovely comments, so excited for you that an experience like this is yours. May it be so ALWAYS. Respect. 🙏🏽
Yes!
I think Andrée has arrived to the point he realizes that silent will be better than noise of words for now .

“A artist does not have a responsibility to their fans “ I couldn’t agree more (musically speaking).
This is the best review I've heard thus far. Thank you brother. ❤😊✊
"Tell me in the comments if you've ever been eaten by a hawk"
A strlpper from Atlanta smiles and raises her hand. 🙌
He also played Jimi Hendrix in “All Is By My Side”. Which, I think, was after “Idlewild”.
Really great video, i immediately thought i need to hit subscribe after the first 5 minutes.
AVAA..
The frequency is undeniable. He’s operating in his heart chakra 💚
I was making a video on my Thanksgiving walk, AVAA, and noticed a red-tailed hawk sitting in a tree near me... before I finished my video, that hawk had swooped down, caught his Thanksgiving dinner, and was eating it!

I really enjoyed the album. Certainly requires being in a particular mind space. I get Wendy Carlos influence vibes.
Dr. San reference. Will always comment. AVAA. Youre the man Skye.
Great Flute Hip-Hop:
Diamond D. - Sally Got A One Track Mind
Algorithm - 3 M’s (lyrics are phenomenal about American Imperialism and how it infiltrates other countries)
Also "The Best Kept Secret" by Diamond D and the Psychotic Neurotics has a lil flute sample
He’s an impressionist looking thru Arts eyes
He made a great movie with Jason Statham, called Revolver. It was then I realized I like Andre as a person. That and The Love Below.
You know that "lack" of correct grammar is the art form that displays the 'breaking out' of tradition (This sentence itself is a good example lol). Similar to patois of the Caribbean vernaculars. Love your breakdowns by the way
Wow, what an incredible take on 3K’s new artistic expression {{AVAA}} Let’s all come back to this analysis video when Andre drops rap album of the decade produced by Inflo!??? 👀🙏🏾✨

Hot Hip Hop song with a flute is "I Went For Mine" Diamond D and The Psychotic Neurotics
flute classics : Tae KAy-The Race
AVAA Andre definitely doesn’t have a mainstream cinematic career anymore, but he’s had supporting roles in a few indie films I’ve really enjoyed over the past couple of years, specifically High Life, and Showing Up.
I Love This Album I love Andre as an artist period. Im an artist myself musician, hip hop emcee, farmer, father growth is part of art because art is life...... Coming live and direct from ATL Georgia 🖖🏿👐🏿
"Cab Fare" by Souls of Mischief.
Hilarious vid. I need to check this out as a fan of some ambient music... Philip Glass for babies... nice
I think you should watch his GQ interview and then do an addendum to this video. Thanks 😊
And it only took Andre having the best selling rap album of all time to transcend the constraints of capitalist production!
ART IS BACK IN THE MAINSTREAM
(I know she’s a bit controversial at the moment. No comment on the workplace mistreatment allegations) Lizzo has won four Grammies as a rapper and is also arguably the most famous flautist in the world right now. And I don’t mean that as like a charity, gimmick thing, she went to college for flute. She played flute at the library of Congress, including a glass flute owned by John Adams, and it made Ben Shapiro really mad for super normal and not gross reasons.
Here's a rap with flute: Cheba's "The Piper"
He didn't "beat capitalism", he's been riding it like a wave since his career began. And the same is true for every other artists that you mentioned on your list. None of these people are putting out mixtapes and distributing their own material. It weren't for Corporate America they wouldn't have careers at all.
I think you're right but also the Professor too. He needed capital to have a voice but now he's free to create art with no strings attached.
Classified with Brother Ali - Maybe it’s just me…. Killed the flute.
It would be great if you could analyze more OutKast albums. Their works highly innovative, creative, and resonate to this day
Andre is already in the 5th dimension....of the third century !!.... Love it ❤
The Love Above 🤔 I like that I bet Dre would like that title 😂
Andre is and has been on several movies in the past two years or so. Mostly Netflix/streaming movies sure but some do get theatrical runs. Just saying.
Great take. Don't ever say ATLIENS" again. It's "A-T-L-iens".
Easy to "beat capitalism" when you are comfortably retired. So the lesson is to beat capitalism you have first "win" at capitalism.
Not really. Stop consuming so much shit you don’t need. Move to another country. Don’t get in debt. Read more.
Yup exactly
Little Ghetto Boy - Dr. Dre The Chronic has flute in it
I can't really compare other songs with flute to this because the flute those other songs are using us a fundamentally different type of instrument. The indigenous flute is a very different type of sound than the orchestra or band flute.
Another flute track is Busdriver - Imaginary Places
Amazing thoughts❤ dont forget he acted as Hendrix
Rawcotiks - Going All Out is a good flute rap loop
AVAA | I was eaten by a hawk and according to the reviews, I was delicious... so I got THAT going for me 🤷🏾♂️
Revolver, with statham. Thats Andre best movie
Tha Alkaholiks made a song called the Flute Song....
The song Natural by Nature from 1999 has a great flute 🪈
Mask off~Future
Sicko Mode~Travis Scott
I never thought André 3000 sounded like Emo Philips..
Its a great album to fall asleep too

andre is the chipmunk eating the capitalist hawk.
AVAA I’d love to hear your thoughts on flee lords latest album.
Little Ghetto Boy by Dr Dre.... great flute solo
Man. I can't wait for the day when people deeply analyze my music even though my music really has no meaning and I love fucking with the audience 😂
While you're waiting on that Andre 3000 solo rap album, Lupe Fiasco has been the best for a decade now. Go listen to Tetsuo and Youth.
Great video
You probably need to listen to "Mask Off" by Future. It is a flute-trap classic!
Mask off - Future - has a flute !
it was very funny/cute when you said at-liens instead of ATLiens
Flute in RAP can go well together listen to Eric B & Rakim "Know The Ledge"

High compliment.
AVAA. There's a bit of a Renaissance within Ambient at the moment. Artists are going beyond that massage room stereotype by making more personal and emotionally specific songs within this style. Ana Roxane, Pendant/Huerco S, Cole Pulice, Laaraji, Salamanda, Nondi, KMRU, Whatever the Weather, Nala Sephinro and many more have all used Ambient as a way to make personal mood pieces. I think one thing that really stands out in the new wave is the use of unrelaxing and downright stressful sounds within the music, to disrupt the peacefulness and make you pay more attention.
Ambient is also very interesting in that it sits at the intersection of so many genres. Dance producers, jazz musicians and traditional musicians are all embracing it. It's kind of like when dishes from on opposite ends of the world end up having similarities despite having different histories and ingredients. I came into Ambient through uk dance music, (James holden, floating points etc), but it's also made me embrace jazz and traditional music because of the bridge its created.
I think andre 3000 killed it, and this will have done wonders for the L.a. ambient scene, which was already flourising.
Thanks for this comment. Very useful

I do agree that the slang word pussy rolls off the tongue with far better ease than the proper word vagina, but the proper word is unambiguous while the slang word might refer to a wimp or a cat
AFI for many folks.

Andre 3000 forever.
ok, this is a great analysis but is the Album any good? no not really, it's below average, an amalgamation of sonic memes, people in the comments are Comparing him to Sun Ra and other Jazz greats and here's the issue I have with the Album, Jazz is the classical music of the Black American, they are musicians at the top of their game, masters of their craft, Andre Has taken a flute and wandered around playing rudimentary chords. Andre said the whole thing was improvised, nothing planned "It just came out", like a child blowing away on a wood instrument and the parent saying "Oh isn't he good" yeah, maybe but give Andre a pat on the head and encourage him to go practice, learn the instrument, play a few anonymous, small backroom gigs, a few downtown bars otherwise he's just a privileged artist indulging himself, without his collaborator this would be even worse than it already is.
Exactly
Get off your high horse

If 3000 ain’t top 3, or 2 something wrong. If you take KRS-1 out the picture, 3000 would be #1.
