Andre 3000 - New Blue Sun (Discussion Thread)

[reserved_one]

There’s a lot of sampling material on this album that’s intriguing. I might hop on the laptop and do some chopping on this when I have time.

The album is good for what it is….I think Andre accomplished what he wanted to do and that’s all I can say. I’m on the side of wanting to hear him rap/sing but I’m content with the fact he’s done. It is what it is.

Wonder if he's going to summon the Dragon Zord on that thang.

That was a strange listen. I like 1 joint and lost interest not too far in

I'm finally listening. The Legend of Stankonia let's go

My honest opinion,

I'm legit wondering if this is a troll album. I normally wouldn't seek out this kind of music and only listened because it's 3 stacks. I went in and didn't know what to expect. First 3 tracks were a chore to listen to. Once i realized the whole album was gonna be like this, i just let it play through in my headphones while working. It's not that bad as background sound when you doing stuff where you gotta focus.

I probably won't be listening to this outside of work. I probably would have said this is bs if it was someone else. Hell im not even sure if i like it. Also, i might look for other albums/playlists similar to this for work. I hesitate to call this music. Seems like "sound with musical ideas sprinkled in" which i guess can serve it's purpose.

Still feels like a troll album, lol

Definitely an interesting way to look at it.

I'm at track 2 and I feel like I'm listening to see PS1 era JRPG menu music.

This isn't even soundtrack music, or a score for a film, this is legitimately ambient noise to put on while youre doing something else like yoga or some shyt

Track 3 sounds like it should be background music for national geographic when they be narrating lions hunting buffalo or some shyt

Bruh 17 minute long instrumental tracks tho? I feel like I should be getting a back massage listening to this shyt

Three stacks really unleashed the flutes in a manner we haven’t seen since guru

Music to meditate to or trim your bonsai trees to.

 

[Gifted one]

Imagine a producer sampling this album, then lacing Andre vocals from past songs on there

 

[O.Red]

I admit I am curious why he did so many guest features. My guess is that it was a little bit easier for him than doing a full solo rap album to whereas it would take more of a mental toll on him considering the fact that he’s not really wanting to fully commit to it.

He raps on what he likes

Earlier this year when Killer Mike was promoting his album he spoke about how he got the 3K verse. Mike sent the album to 3K just to see if he liked it and when the spoke on the phone about it 3K asked Mike if he could get on something

This has largely been the case over the years. He hears something he likes then asks if he can get on it and the nikkas he asks are like nikka yes

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

This is some good ass music to study and/or fall asleep to.

 

[Sad Bunny]

This shyt is so trash. Corny ass song titles.

Lmao at y’all really tryna dissect this bullshyt.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

In GENERAL, that's why alot of the older artists don't "rock the boat" when it comes to branching outside of what they normally do..

If it don't hit in the gym/stripclub/whip, nikkas already taking points off by track 1...

The "on the move" era just pushes alot of creativity out the culture

He could go in a different direction and still rap or sing. It’s the fact that it’s a pure instrumental is what has people annoyed
