I'm in this picture with no shame

my first thought when i heard the news

Idk he drops these insane verses all over still. He might have the best verse on assume form (2019)

We get Sampha and 3k album same year!?!?!?!

I feel you, the mans a legendary mind in Hip Hop, he'll always have strokes of genius here and there. But his standards for himself are probably crazy, especially with how rappers think and move these days. He's just not interested, if he was gonna do another solo, the early 10s was the time to drop.

In for flutes. Will listen to this and sleep on the highway

separates people who are actual fans of 3K versus people that related to 3K's a e s t h e t i c s

And a lot of yall niggas are in the latter without knowing it.

‘André 3000 noted that he still works on rap tracks, but “it’s kind of like, I don’t know how to rock on that, really, in a way that I feel great about it. So if I can’t find a way to rock on it, I kind of leave it there’

I wonder what his process is. And I wonder what producers he works with & why it just isn’t clicking. Some of his music friends & producers should sit him down & see what they can do to help him break through the 20 year dissatisfaction.

fwiw looking at the influences this could be a dope new age album but i was expecting some bars

s*** is so crazy I see why K Dot was like "fuck yall I choose me" lmaooooo

this will either a goat ass album or dumpster fire, no inbetween.

Telling niggas Mr. Morale one of those albums that people'll appreciate in 5 years.

Meanwhile motherfuckers in that yachty thread talking about "people like him and Andre let us down by taking a break" like bro these cacs was really talking like massa on the plantation.

Can't please everybody

Exactlyy. I think people just want to hear a dope solo 3K album with vocals no matter the genre

Idk why y'all so desperate to hear some uninspired andre raps y'all would just call mid anyway. Artists aren't robots they gotta do what they feel and go where the wind takes them (no pun intended)

too be fair his feature run post-OutKast speaks otherwise

Yea and he was still inspired to rap then. He clearly ain't now

Yeah he seems content with just doing verses here and there if he doesnt feel like sharing his own rap music i can respect that

If this new album is what is truly what he feels happy with then so be it, im all ears

i agree

I get it. We think andres verses are amazing but he must have a crazy high expectation of himself.

He's a genius. That's what we do

I don’t mind a no-rap album from him I just wish he would sing on the flute music at the very least

Its to do with his belief that because he’s not young no more he’s not cool thus he can never feel comforting being a rapper anymore

Real

Whatever Andre dropped people would just complain it didnt live up to their expectations

Nah I’m happy now especially after listening to this interview but i’m also not mad at fans for being annoyed
