mf hasnt dropped since when?
and this is what he does to us smh
s*** is ass
literally he was better off just not putting out music instead of this bs
i can read & meditate to this
in the best way possible
After years of going to his page to listen to his feature run it feels weird to see a profile pic and album on his Apple Music
It’s obvious people in the thread do not listen to music outside of hip hop.
Album is beautiful so far.
If you havnt been exposed to ambient music before than you should go and try and listen. Or maybe read a f***ing book haha literally go on a walk and drink water
This is the s*** I wish Kanye would do. Been telling my friends I’m waiting for Kanye’s GREEN album.
I see what you're saying, the "rap is a young man's game" trope is played out, like whenever I think of Ye saying similar in 808s era ("I don't play rap in my nice apartment blah blah blah") or Drake talking about retiring early it seems like they didn't understand exactly what they were talking about, but they've both come back around on it
I think Andre just boxes himself into an old school idea of what a rapper is supposed to be, I think it comes from a place of insecurity not ignorance though
He’s gonna realize once it’s really too late in his 70’s and s*** that he could have reinvented what it means to be a rapper above a certain age
Before Hov Ross and Ye we didn’t imagine someone being in their late 30’s and early 40’s and still relevant.
Once again Hov gonna have to show niggas how to do this son lol

3 stacks will beat him to it though
This is different than what I expected. I was thinking this was just going to be a bunch of long ass flute solos, but he actually put together some decent ambient music. I’ll be working to this tomorrow
Very high. Feels like I’m playing a Square JRPG

Hov Ross and Ye are a great point of inspiration specifically for rap, but there's so many even older artists in every sphere that still have something to say which prove it's never too late, and someone as thoughtful as Andre just needs to figure out exactly what it is
he's only 48, inspiration could hit at any minute and we could have a rap album done in a year or two, if the time calls for it that is

It’s constructed very well

I know exactly what you mean about Ye—in an alternate universe, he could've locked in with the Robert Glasper/BADBADNOTGOOD neo jazz scene and really explored instrumental variations of his sound
I'm loving the first listen too, just finished That Night In Hawaii and I'd call that the weakest thus far arrangement-wise, but overall this feels pretty solid. Very evocative and fun to follow improv work, which comes with downsides as all improvisational work does—you can really hear the seams sometimes, especially with André sadly. It's not to a terrible point at all, though, and I'm really impressed with it so far as is.
It sounds cool not gonna lie. I had a pretty s***ty day today and I started playing this after work and it made me feel better.
It'd be cool if he brought other musicians on here
I think his biggest mistake was labeling this a 3000 project and not a side project, which gave people a way bigger expectation for what this would be

It’s obvious you don’t like or listen to ambient music.
“An album no one will talk about after this week” is top 5 most annoying things ktt users can say because it completely covers their ass from construction cohesive criticism
giving me four tet/floating points ambient vibes
i was half expecting Floating Points, or Kamasi Washington features

I agree. I was thinking the same. He should have had a moniker or something for this project.
Just put this s*** on its time. Andre got me into Steve Reich and Phillip Glass a few years ago from his Rick Rubin interview. That kind of music has grown on me so much I say a third of what I listen to is classical now. This is just the epitome for me
