Nov 17, 2023·editedDo people expect him to make some love below or do some shutterbug like big boi. Im not the biggest Andre fan but after listening to that ep (in memory of his parents), the last thing he’d drop is a hip hop/rap album. This is almost like a therapeutic journey for him with using the experimental ambient sounds to convey that feeling

Beamo23ok but again you are fully relying on other people's opinion here, which i don't need to
you are not gonna convince me of s*** lmao.
Why are you fighting for some s*** you don't like so bad g, go grab some kleenex and play something you DO likeI ain't convincing you or trying to. I want you to think if you yourself actually like this album. If you do - GREAT! Also, if this record is so great, you got timestamps for favourite moments on the records? Nah, because it's universally flowing trash start to finish. The only clever aspect was the song titles., and after reading those, they just set you up for a colossal let down when you get hit with flutes for 90 mins when you thought there would be at least something thought provoking from the song titles. I got nothing from this, just a damn headache.

The point stands, if this had a random name attached to it, do you really think you would like this or even listen to it to begin with. You wouldn't unless you LOVE ambient music and its none of our top genres lets be honest.
ok — if it had a random name attached to it, I might not check it out initially, if I didn't know who they were— that goes for the vast majority of music b. Am I more interested/invested because it has Andre's name attached? Absolutely. That does absolutely not f***in mean I wouldn't like it if someone else made. Sounds like some ryuchi sakamoto s***, and I do listen to ambient music, I'm so sorry you didn't get your rappity raps brother, sincerely
now stop yucking our yum HOE!

Stop the cap. You wouldn't even bother, if you heard snippets you'd say what in the soundcloud is this trash. Silly me for expecting a rap album, from a rapper. He ain't a talented flute player, thats a fact, this ain't stevie wonder we're talking about with the harmonica, he can play that like no one else. Andre is out of his element and it shows, big time.

Oh brother, you sound absolutely insufferable
Nov 17, 2023This is nice music to do a*** to. Great choice for the midnight romp.
10/10 3k Flute by Adam & Eve when?
Nov 17, 2023·2 repliesTheGhostYeah, because he 'subverted expectations'. For the past 20 years, even more, people having been waiting for a hip hop record. They expect a hip hop record. No one wanted or asked for Andre to make ambient flute music over 17 minute tracks for 90 mins and improv it. And the whole 'he's giving you what you need, not what you want' or the 'you don't know what you want until you get it' - we'll see how this record performs and we'll see what people really wanted.
With the hype behind Andre's solo debut album, after a 20 year wait, from one of, if not THE most renowned hip hop artist artistically (he's up there), I'll STILL be shocked if this goes Platinum, the quality of the record itself is utter bile, it sounds like if you gave a 10 year old a studio and sound engineer and a flute and told them to just do whatever you want. That's the level here. He's one of my favourite artists ever - it's hilarious seeing people pretend that they bump this.
he's a music artist. he made a music album. get over your narrow-minded definitions

Nov 17, 2023Album is super peaceful and filled with emotion. It’s crazy how he put all those sounds together and made it fit the titles

He literally slapped his whole fan base in the face with this. It's blatant. But you get the 'imma listen to flutes for 90 mins bc andre made it and im tryna be individualistic, maaan' crowd. CORNY.

He literally said in the gq interview that the album is him finding his feet and exploring. It’s cool to not like the project as much as you want but your reasoning doesn’t hold any weight

He is SELLING this work. if he made it free fair enough. Experiment all you want, maybe not a good idea to charge your fans full price for an album they didn't ask for and tell them 'yeah i'm doing something new which i suck at rn, hope you enjoy it'. also he could have made an experimental album without pretending he was from India. It's the corniest thing I've seen in music in a while
