Andre 3000 GQ Video Interview: “sometimes it feels inauthentic for me to rap because I don’t have anything to talk about in that way.”

[987654321]

He just worried people will say he no longer has "it" anymore.

He could rap about the state of the world

He could rap about questioning his role as a father as his kids grow up and don't need him in the same ways.

He could rap about how he feels about getting older and seeing where his legacy has lead.

Maybe one day he’ll be inspired to do that, but for now…

Come back Andre Jesus

 

[MajesticLion]

This is how you get stuck with Peter Pan expectations, because an entire generation listened to enemies and believed "it's a young man's game" from A&Rs /labels/magazines with a vested interest in not letting wisdom have a place in the artform...and by extension the wider culture.


Take the middlemen out, take the shackles off

 

[DaPresident]

Yo, why he ain't do this interview with NORE on Drink Champs?























PS: I rock with Big Boi HEAVY, they underrate him to give all the accolades to Dre

 

[$cam-U-Well_Jack$on]

Before we even got here, but definitely now at this point, folks need to stop trying to make that man rap. It is what it is.

Right. If he don't wanna rap no meaux, he don't have to.

 

[Ryda52]

I hate how people slight Big Boi, in any event if he’s not rapping or doing some sort of rap fusion, I’m just not tryna hear this nikka play the pied piper. Really wish rappers would stay in they lane.

That first instrument looks like a big ass dikk.

 

[Camammal]

Let him cook, world needs his artistry in whatever form it comes in. Closed minded folks will get left behind

 

[tuckgod]

I fully respect it.
It’s okay to put the mic down.

Always knew this was a fake ass hip hop board.

 

[The_Sheff]

Shows how one dimensional he is a rapper. I think the game is missing mature rap; family, health, aging, etc.

Is it one dimensional or is it “realistically this music needs to sell and if I make this is there a legit market for it”.

 

[FukyourFort]

Y'all stay over rating this nikka. A lot of stuff to rap about at that age. Just because you can't get outta the way then nikka..big boi still doing his thing

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

In the context that he doesn’t think he has anything cool to share with listeners in regards to rap. It seems like he only thinks youthful matters are cool enough to rap about that. That’s one dimensional to me.

So you’ll cop his record about getting a colonoscopy and switching from term to whole life insurance? Or that he and his lady went and picked out drapes together? You’d bang those records?

 

[Big Boss]

That first instrument looks like a big ass dikk.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

I'm imagining every painting being photo realistic, because artists feel like doing something abstract would be inauthentic to their craft
Its stupid

Name an abstract rapper that’s poppin or well received?

 

[CrushedGroove]

He don’t need a pass. He already created and established a legacy through his work with the Dungeon Family, both rapping and producing with Earthtone III.

What are we gonna do, send a bunch of smileys to his dm? Lol

That's a good idea



Just flood his DMs with Gucci Mane remix smileys. It's like a hundred of em
