Thread literally is about him saying he's inspired
forcing an old man to pick up tricks he doesn’t wanna do anymore
Them enabling this s*** is the same reason Kanye keeps releasing all the bullshit he’s made over the past 8 years
Andre is not that guy anymore and that’s ok! We have the classics, he’s stamped Go play with that flute man
Say anything you want about them but the love for music, passion, and will to work so hard consistently in this level requires crazy work ethic and dedication and both these artists deserve a huge amount of respect for their hunger
Fact
some more thoughts from the same interview:
What’s your mindset on new OutKast music now?
I’ll say maybe 10, 15 years ago, in my mind, I thought an OutKast album would happen. I don’t know the future, but I can say that we’re further away from it than we’ve ever been. I think it’s a chemistry thing. We have to be wanting to do it. It’s hard for me to make a rap, period, you know? And sometimes I’m in the belief of “Let things be.”
It was a great time in life, and our chemistry was at a certain place that was undeniable. And I think the audience sometimes believes that something has to last forever, and I don’t think that. Any kind of art form, I think that’s probably the opposite. It probably should not last forever. It’s not like a product. In the end, we did give a product, but what made that product was a certain time in both of our lives.
It’s not like we’re Coca-Cola, where it’s this formula that you can always press a button and it’ll happen. I think the audience feels that way. But the audience never knows what it takes to make what they’re getting. I can’t blame them for that.
Would you be open to doing a farewell tour?
No, I doubt that. We did a tour in 2014. And I knew when I was, like, 25, that at a certain age I wouldn’t want to be onstage doing those songs. They required a certain energy. Honestly, I’m not a big fan of looking back. I’m just not. I’m grateful for everything that’s happened, but it was a time. To me, that’s what it is. That was a great time, and I wish y’all were there.

Maaaaaaan I was too young and broke to go see them in 2014
I wonder where Andre’s confidence went
i dont think hes not confident hes just the kind of person that doesnt force something if hes not feeling it
He's just doing a non-mysterious version of Frank Ocean moves in music and creativity.
Bro doesn't have to drop an album really.

This is legit one of the best and most balanced posts I've seen on here in a while.

I’d lock myself in the studio too if I could drop mid burger after mid burger and constantly top charts for a whole decade
(Drake)
If anyone can get Kendrick and Drake on the same track it’s Andre 3000
Won’t happen but he’s the only OG capable of doing it
why r people so obsessed with andre’s rap album u got 6 f***ing albums from the guy and a host of legendary verses. let the mf play his flutes.
Same reason people obsessed with full rapping Drake album
They really wanna hear it

Kendrick doesn’t wanna work with that nigga. Drake already tried to get him on a song
Love 3000, but sometimes he talks about his tenure in OutKast as if he served in Vietnam lol

I was trying to find a way to word what i’m thinking but you got it exactly lmao. A lot of artists think like this and i get it but damn. It’s like when Madlib says he never listens to his albums again after he releases them cus it’s the past. Atleast madlib has the excuse of still making music the same way the whole time
Love this and I hope this happens
Both Kendrick and Drake work at an extremely high level and to hear 3K is feeling inspired is amazing to hear
Need 1000 years of beef just for the chance this happens
Fries said I hope we have a 1000 year rap holy war in hopes 3K drops an album during it

Them niggas are millionaires with access to the best equipment, producers, and teams available
Them niggas haven’t felt hunger since the blog era 5 songs a day at that level is way easier than 5 songs a day at my level with a full time job, bills, health, and my girl/family
Not saying them niggas don’t have the same time constraints, but it’s a lot easier to make time with an endless bankroll. Youngboy got crazy work ethic, see how he’s talked about. The work ethic is cool, but not something to glaze over. Salute
