If you accept that 3 Stacks is in a new phase of his career and isn't interested in rapping (and clearly HASN'T been in 20 years) then this is actually an exciting development. I love Jazz and World Music and listening to his interview on NPR it seems like this is going to be a Free Jazz album with elements of world music. Andre is a very creative individual and he said he's spent years with a flute Master learning and playing different types of flute and flute music. He's taking this seriously and i'm proud that dude is 48 years old and at the very least putting his heart into SOME form of musical expression.

Everybody can't be Nas, who lives and breathes bars within the core of his soul. Andre has said he has different goals and seeks different modes of expression. He didn't even want to rap at first, he wanted to go to Art school and become a painter. He doesn't enjoy freestyling. He has anxiety performing. He gets bored doing his old songs. Andre been telling us without outright telling us that rap is a hobby he just so happened to be supremely gifted in, but he doesn't want it to define him.

Not interested in rapping but still drops verses. lol. Ok.

 

[Why-Fi]

hes kind of rapping in those titles

 

[beenz]

If it's anything like his guitar solo on Sixteen he can keep that

that shyt is so cringe, I simply could NOT take that song seriously.

A verse every 1-2 years doesn't signify great interest to me.

No mixtapes
No solo rapping songs
No freestyles
No concert appearances
No anniversary celebrations

Literally ONE VERSE per year on average

Wish the Beastie Boys were still in action to rap over these Flute Loops

This is a pretentious nikka’s wet dream….

I swear do ya'll hear yourselves?

It’ll be good for a beatmaker to chop up since it’ll be drum less, and bass less.

facts.. half the Coli tho

“From this angle …

The album bleeds hip hop and is ahead of its time ..

This is how you live in music history forever..”



But for real it’s not that serious , he just dropped a flute album , so what

 

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

Whole food and trader Joe faggits are cheering in disbelief

 

[beenz]

Him and Cee Lo can both go fukk off somwhere... the most overrated rappers ever, got all that talent as rappers but want to do everything from crossdressing, making pop music, etc anything but actually rapping.

why u taking shots at cee-lo? he's made multiple solo albums where he raps even.

 

[Consigliere]

Just the sound of screeching metal and... and one spoken word per track.

I have never found these guys funny.

Until right now.

 

[beenz]

Wanting to hear Andre 3000 play the flute for 38 minutes is like wanting to hear Gilbert Godfrey talk for 38 minutes



This about to be some pure comedy gold

I wouldn't even be mad if it was shyt like this.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Until right now.

I was the same way, but honestly, they're funny as hell. Great actors too. The Barbershop skit is my favorite

who would have thought in 2003, that in 2023, we'd all be clammoring for this nikka to make a return to singing
