He was in the greatest hip hop group of all time. He doesn't need money, and he's already popular. If making flute music is what he wants to do, he has no reason not to do it, even if the album gets ignored.
Sir Lucious Leftfoot and Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors were great. Newer stuff has been fine. Saw him live for free this summer and it was awesome.
big boi is essentially rick ross. andre 3k is lauded as one of the most intelligent and expressive rappers ever. he said it himself. he done lost it. be happy he didnt go the slug atmosphere route and make dad rap for longer than he made art.
he's good at acting and his features are usually the best thing on the track he's on. more artists should be experimented and getting out their lanes and doing what they want rather than churning out shit for money/labelberg.
idlewild was already extremely average, I'm glad there's no poor Andre rap album out there

What the fuck are these song titles? Why can't artists I like just quit while they are ahead? I'm so tired of everything being so goofy and quirky and le spork.
I have missed "That Weekend When SpottieOttieDopaliscious Joined Me In Sexual Congress at the Annual Gathering of Men Who Sell Love Making and I Began Undulating Uncontrollably Until Next I Had Reese's Puffs" on Aquemini.

Ok but he is though, right? He doesn't drink or do drugs. He had an upper middle class upbringing around mostly white kids. He wasn't a gangster and actively tried to move hip hop away from the gangster image. He had a kids' show. One of his most famous verses was a genuine wholesome spoken word ode to getting married. And now he's making a jazz flute album.
He’s an art kid who should have gone to SCAD or some shit and instead got swept into the hype of 90’s hip hop, because, famously, he had something to say.
>he should have been a rank and file art school student instead of being in one of the best hip hop groups of all time and making millions of dollars
For the love of god, I hope no one ever follows any advice you give them
What the fuck kind of hamcankle landwhale drinks buttermilk? Odd talk for someone who will need the fire department to sawzall them out of their house when they have a heart attack at 38.
Putting out a meme ambient album was really the best thing he could do in that situation. If he made a rap album people would shit on it because it wouldn't met the insane expectations it had garnered over the years.
Yeah, really. If he so much as says a single sentence on the album, rap fans will throw it into the hot take analysis machine and start talking about flow and lyricism and all that bullcrap. For doing what he wants to do, he can't win if he's rapping.
I couldn't get through the first song, dude clearly picked up the flute this year... he has zero sense of melody or texture when playing. Some of the accompaniment was interesting, then it back to the fourth grade recital.

Good for him.
>Have a discography that is generally agreed to be one of the strongest in a genre
It almost sounds like you're giving him credit for what Outkast did as a group. >Be namedropped regularly by hip hop heads as one of the best to ever do it despite having not made an album in 17 years
Yeah namedropped by white backpacker "heads" >Still a highlight feature artists the few times you do decide to rap again
Yeah he does a good feature now and then but then puts out a peruvian flute album we are supposed to care about? >Beloved by enthusiasts and normies alike
refer to the picture of his fans >Go balls out and make the music you want to make
Yeah that's great you do you Dre. I'll just keep listening to consistent Big Boi shit.
This. At this point a solo rap record would have way too much hype and never live up to everyone's expectations.
Yeah basically. Sometimes artists know what's better for their crowd than they do. Mind you, I said sometimes. Usually people fuck that up, but if you know what you're doing the fans will become richer for it.
He was in the greatest hip hop group of all time. He doesn't need money, and he's already popular. If making flute music is what he wants to do, he has no reason not to do it, even if the album gets ignored.
he's refusing to tarnish his legacy
what more could you ask for?
Big Boi haven't tarnish his legacy.
He actually managed to drop a great album and some good ones. While still being a fun artist to listen to.
are you kidding me? his last few albums have been total shit
>been total shit
No they haven't. Get a grip.
Sir Lucious Leftfoot and Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors were great. Newer stuff has been fine. Saw him live for free this summer and it was awesome.
Thoroughly enjoyed those albums even tho they were widely slept on.
boomiverse sucked tho and big grams was mid.
Checked. Funny enough, Phantogram also only gas two really good records and fizzled out around the same time. Glad I saw them at their peak.
big boi is essentially rick ross. andre 3k is lauded as one of the most intelligent and expressive rappers ever. he said it himself. he done lost it. be happy he didnt go the slug atmosphere route and make dad rap for longer than he made art.
Big Boi is doin’ exactly what Slug is doin’. If anything anon should be happy 3k didn’t become a smack addict and wind up dead like Eyedea (RIP).
he's good at acting and his features are usually the best thing on the track he's on. more artists should be experimented and getting out their lanes and doing what they want rather than churning out shit for money/labelberg.

His verse in Sixteen is the best verse of all time so he can do what he wants

yeah, the notoriously whitebread, straight laced Andre 3000 should stop being so fucking wacky

you sure convinced me, fuck him for not rapping about killing wytey!
What's wrong with the titles?
They're rap lyrics
the flute album is better than every album after aquemini
Too rich innit
Even rappers know that rap is trash for youngsters and ages like milk.
>ages like milk
>alll the best 90s albums are considered among the best music of all time
Lol, even The Low End Theory sounds like cringe nursery rhymes today.
That zoomers have such deficient attention spans that they can't pay attention to a verse from start to finish is certainly not a fault of the music.
>Dang diggy dang gi-dang gi-dang diggy diggy Dang diggy dang gi-dang gi-dang diggy diggy
Woah, such genius poets! Too bad zoomers don't apreciate it!
Making yourself look dumber than you are is never a good idea.
>that's actually a lyric on the low end theory
Who are you quoting?
i feel sorry for anyone that cant enjoy 90s hip hop
You can literally do that with every single music artist.
Real artistic guys like 3000 and Mos Def don't like to put out records if they don't genuinely feel the spark anymore.
>nooo how dare you do something different bro
hes almost 50, rapping probably feels corny at that age
Like I get that this is supposed to be a shit post album, but it's actually pretty good

After years of retards hyping him up as the second coming of Prince or whatever he'd have to make the single best hip hop album of all time.
He has autism, and he is doing something he likes doing
and that's exactly what it sounds like.

pic related. here's 3 stack's fanbase.
Fuck you sound like an absolute gaycunt. Imagine using backpack(er) as an insult in current year +13
Damn, that's a lot more than the ten people who're Big Boi's fanbase.
You're trying too hard.
I know Big Boi's underrated and all, but you don't have to drag Andre to present that point.
Yeah basically. Sometimes artists know what's better for their crowd than they do. Mind you, I said sometimes. Usually people fuck that up, but if you know what you're doing the fans will become richer for it.
Not as ballsy as Metal Machine Music.
