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.”

[BlackAchilles]

Rap in 2023 feels inauthentic to me

 

[beenz]

Def a nice lane for this (Nas has shown this). And if the music is good, he'd def eat.

jay-z even did as such on 4:44 back when that dropped when he was the same age as 3K is now.

 

[Rell84shots]

I respect this. Stacks can still rap his ass off, but he just feels like he doesn't have anything to talk about. I'd rather hear that vs these old nikkas rapping about street/drug shyt they're not even a part of anymore.

 

[Born2BKing]

I mean... even Jay Z hasn't had an album in what 4 or 5 years now?

Nas went years without an album and then started just forcing himself to pump out music.

I get where Dre is coming from.

He's not hungry anymore.

He just has no interest in doing the shyt no more. I used to rap too, and now have zero interests in pinning a 16. Sometimes you just be over shyt. He needs to just say that instead of pontificating like @Trav mentioned in here.

 

[Rekkapryde]

jay-z even did as such on 4:44 back when that dropped when he was the same age as 3K is now.

Yup. So the shyt can be done. And some of these cats already had more mature raps anyway.

Roots been doing it for a minute themselves.

 

[gho3st]

I respect his artistic integrity.

Not out there forcing it "just for the bag".

Man fck his artistic integrity. He can rap about anything. He can make a concept album.

Truth is, he aint into rap like that anymore . And thats ok

 

[Born2BKing]

I'll take Andre 3k raps about colonoscopy anyday

Most of these rappers ass anyway

Booty telescope’s not Harlem

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

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.
