Andre 3000 single-handedly changed American culture

[Darts]

It all started back in 2003/2004... 50, Jay and the south were big and had their influence from fashion to musical styles etc.

Then came Andre with The Love Below (which was huge then) and started dressing like this:

and almost immediately everybody from hip hop artists to pop stars started to get on this "weird, quirky" tip both musically and fashion wise...which gave rise to the hipster movement we have today.

Andre unintentionally changed pop culture for better or worse.

Andre is my nig but I dunno how I feel about him changing pop culture for the worse.

I thought Andre simply matured from what he used to wear:

 

[Capitol]

For the worst? You thought those over sized cheap clothes was popping?

 

[Piff Perkins]

People act like Kanye started that shyt with 808s. He may have introduced the new gen to it, but let's not forget the entire mainstream music industry co-signed The Love Below; that shyt even got album of the year at the Grammys.

Common's Electric Circus and Mos Def's New Danger also deserve some recognition. I don't think they were great albums, but they moved hip hop to the left and changed the conversation.

U right...i'll edit that to say 'unintentionally'.

Skinnys aint popping either ...

Andre has nothing to do with that. He essentially introduced actually dressing like a grown man to some of these dudes. Remember when everyone from 10 year olds to 50 year old dudes were rocking throwback jerseys? dikkey suits? Jumpers/ XXXXL shirts? Not popping

I will never forget seeing Andre wearing women boots that looked just like my Steve Madden riding boots.

Then Cee Lo said fukk it and wore a dress

Even Prince, the majestic one, never wore boots or a dress.

Yeah Kanye definitely switched up his steez after TLB dropped...tried to be 'experimental' like Andre.

Dre ain't the revolutionary artist he would like you to think.

All he did was shark George Clinton, Sly Stone, Prince etc.

The Love Below is average as fukk. The only way you'd be impressed by that shyt is if you listen to nothing other than hip hop.

Even his fashion is a throwback to the P-Funk era.

And every single Kanye album is better than The Love Below. Even 808s shyts all over it. fukk that overrated ass album.
