Do you all realize how hard it is to learn an instrument? Especially the flute? He honed his craft so well he was able to make an entire album. Let's give 3 Stacks a round of applause for that.
The flute is one of the easiest instruments to learn stop glazing. Bro gave up on rapping cause he is lost. Erica Badu did a number on him lol and he doesn't know where he belongs. Anybody saying the flute album is fire just tryna be trendy That shit put me to sleep after 10 minutes of listening. People wanna hear lyricism from Andre not flute playing.
Your not understanding what Wayne is saying. Wayne isn't saying he should keep rapping, he's saying artist shouldn't feel ashamed of being 40 and talking about shit that you wouldn't normally hear about. Andre is judging himself and saying that because of his age something won't work. Y'all are stupid if you think Lil Wayne is calling Andre out, he's just speaking some real shit.
Personally I think a majority of rap fans are entitled and selfish when it comes to certain rappers music. Andre gave us so much in hip hop and now it’s time for him to just enjoy what he wants to do musically. This conversation is pointless and we should be happy he’s healthy and enjoying life. If you don’t like his new direction it’s cool but don’t get mad at him for choosing his new path.
Gave us so much? Where? 😂😂😂 17 years since his last solo album before this and a guest feature what once every four years? I’m not saying he should put his life on hold to satisfy fans or even that we deserve that from him. Just don’t make it seem like his been this machine constantly at work since his debut

For you to say he hasn’t given so much to hip hop is just plain disrespectful.
bro bro playin the flute so it is not hip hop... kendricks Jazz album was not hip hop either... thats why we call it a flute/jazz album.... because it is not rap. also... nobodys mad and nobody hated. but since yu want Ops yu got emmm....

Now thats just how i interpreted what he said but i could be wrong because I've not really listened to much to Andre3000 in my life🤷🏾♂️
@@pastorgainz7230 I understand where you’re coming but you pointed out the problem. The problem is people haven’t listened to Andre at all or in years so that’s why people don’t understand why he moved away from hip hop. He literally spoke about so much in his music. Now people are surprised that he feels he needs to close the book on his story in hip hop. His verse on international players anthem he speaks about how he keeps moving forward without looking back. Go listen to some of his music you will definitely understand his perspective
Andre 3000 said time & time again that he genuinely has nothing to write about. I don’t why nobody isn’t listening even after his most recent interview where he speaks for himself. This only goes to show people will hear what they want to.
He's a creative spirit I'm happy he's in a good place. He'll probably be back to rap when he feels inspired. People act like Andre own them something which makes me support him more.
What was confused...you don't find it depressing if you dont' have shit to say at 40? Thats all wayne said....if your end is in your mid 30s or whever thats not good
I have much respect for Andre. Andre is extremely intelligent. He is what prince is to pop culture, a genius. He can write music if he wants. He is just not feeling this type of rap music. Today's rap music is toxic.
Title of the video: "Lil wayne calls out andre 3000" Later in the video: "Lil wayne heard this, and without calling him out, very respectfully..." dude is desperate for views
people out here talking like Andre 3000 owe something musically to them. This why bruh was happy just mastering an instrument walking the streets. No hiphop does not have an age limit but for 3000 it does from a personal artistic perspective. 3000 has said when he raps it’s uninspired. Uninspired music is not art. Its not fear. And do you know how hard it is to master an instrument. lol

I definitely don't remember his voice sounding this messed to and I grew up listening to Wayne in his prime back in like 2008-2011 ish? I could be wrong though
Andre basically saying he's to mature for today's rap culture. Ya Wayne raps but it's not really from the substance of a 41yr old man. Wayne only depressed because he wishes he was that free to make the music he really wanted. If we being honest if wayne wasn't in debt he probably would be somewhere playing guitar.
Don’t give me wrong I understand where Andre is coming from, but I feel like he’s wrong in the regard of saying that he can be hip no more like look at all the other genres like country music, rock ‘n’ roll, and R&B somehow someway all their legends is in those genres are still selling well in albums still doing stadium tours, but somehow someway in hip-hop we can’t Have our legends do the same thing I don’t like that at all and their no such thing as being too old for rap like look at all these new rappers they cant sell no albums because all they looking for is TikTok hits why do you think Lil Baby and them can’t sell out a arena tour, but 50 Cent who’s in his near 50s is still selling out areas all around the world to this day
I think he just doesn’t want to rap about what is rapped about today. He wants to be selective about what he wants to make as an artist and that’s fine.
He's always made it clear that he has social anxiety over the years which is why he disappeared off the music scene. He is living how he wants to today though so I'm happy for him and can understand not wanting to release music.
Andre is incapable of losing my respect. We don't deserve his rhymes, we weren't listening to what he was saying in the first place. He's lightyears ahead of us Wayne and Andre are like apples and oranges. Long live 3000, I am just happy HE is happy❤
@@fernandomunoz4188 that's cool man, he's my favorite artist. Bet there are things in life you hold dear, too. Go listen to Aquemini and leave me alone boy
Andre is a good rapper, but come on, man. Let's not act like he's the only one who could be called a great artist, just putting down every single artist of his era to glorify him like how people do with Tupac and Biggie. You don't see people normally doing that for any other genre of music unless the specific artist has changed the landscape, but none of the three I listed have done that other than contribute to the already big business by the time of their heights.
This is my thing I feel like Wayne is right because how come in hip-hop is the only genre where our hip-hop legends don’t get the respect when they drop new albums compared to the other genres like R&B country rock ‘n’ roll, etc. all of those legends from those genres are still selling well and still selling out but I never seen someone say that they too old to be singing, playing the guitar, dancing and all that stuff but in hip-hop somehow someway we the only genre where there’s a age limit, Nah I don’t like that. 💯
Facts but at the same time Andre just judging himself, we all clearly don’t give a fuck about his age lol griselda is a example too, they all “old” to young people, still poppin
You missed Andre's point and misconstrued what he said. He didnt say rappers cant be 40. He said at 41 HE has nothing to rap about. He has moved on. Also hip hop is the only genre that forces their artist ti have to rap about guns drugs money and hoes to be successful. Few artist can stray from that without being called corny. Especially in this new generation who thinks its cool to be disrespectful to everyone. At 41 Andre isnt in the streets. He is a mature man who has grown up. He isnt doing drugs nor selling it. He isnt toting guns. He doesnt care about hoes. In todays climate what would he rap about? Why cant he make music for a different genre? Hell as i get older i find myself getting bored with rap and not really wanting to listen to it either.
Andre doesnt want to keep making rap music...he just doesn't want to tell the fans that. He finally feels free and able to enjoy a "simpler life." People just want to keep people in their mental "box"
The flute makes beautiful music and is not easy to play. Good for Andre for creatively expressing himself the way he wants to express himself despite anyone's else's opinion.
Lil Wayne and Andre both get mad respect - everyone approaches art, expression and creativity on their own path. No need to second guess the artists - just sit back and enjoy the ride 🪈🎙️🤘🏽🔥💕😋
Ya'll not gon believe me but, thats okay: I had a opportunity to be stuck in a car for an hour with Mr. Collipark a few years ago who is great friends with Andre, and what you said in the video is absolutely right. I asked him this and he said Andre is worried that the new generation wont accept his music and that he's grown out of it. And this was in 2018. I can only imagine those feelings intensify the older that he gets.
I've been listening to Outkast since the late 90s and I know Andre has moved far away from hip hop culture for a long time. Even when he made the Love Below album and Speaker Box with Big Boi like 20 years ago, Andre's album was a completely different concept and had everything from jazz, funk, R&B, and other instrumental parts in between. Andre was and still is one of my favorite rappers and I'm glad I got to see them live back in 2002. But anyways I think Andre is just on a whole different level now and has been separating himself from the whole drugs, guns and violence culture that rap and hip hop promote so much. Just my opinion though..
I agree and disagree with Andre tbh. I don't resonate with his comment about age. But if you don't feel like you don't have shit to say then don't say anything, idc how many people checking for you~
True fans love the artist not just their art. It makes me happy to see them still doing that thing they love. They've earned the right to not be judged.
There are five different types of fans Super fans True fans Casual fans Anti fans Non fans I'm a true fan of music. That means I am honest about the music regardless of the creator. I don't care whose feelings I hurt. Music is music and that all I care about. Andre dropped a wack flute album. Plain and simple.
@thejtrax in terms of your own selfish expectations sure. Just cus you're mad you didn't get what you want doesn't make someone's art objectively bad. You just don't like a mfr playing a flute and that's totally fine.
@@exileisland2675 a super fan is fan that worships the artist. The artist can do no wrong in there eyes. Everything tbey realease is fire. These are the types that will write letters and whine when the artist doesn't write them back.
@@exileisland2675 an anti fan is only there to criticise the artist. That's the goal , thats the intention. It's not about honesty. It's about finding fault and mocking it. I am not an anti fan so when I honestly say Andre 3000 album is wack its,truly from an authentic place. I'm very familiar with outcast. And love most of there work.
Bro you need to go listen to that album, there is much more than just flutes in it! Close your eyes and shut off the world, its a Masterpiece of gorgeous sounds!
Andre and Wayne are 2 different artists. One talks about himself and his current life situation. And the other raps about the same stuff he’s been rapping about. One is a storyteller. And the other is a punchline freestyle rapper.
I literally just commented this! He dabbles in other Genres yes; but His lyrics are the same Money; Red Bones; Sex; and His Purple Stuff in the Cup. He hasn’t evolved and he speaks about nothing impactful he’s good at punchlines and being Wayne.
Yessssssssssss!!!!! Have you heard the whole soundtrack from the movie "Entergalactic"??! OMG it's magically PERFECT 💪🏾 Cuz that's where that song is from, in case you didn't know, but you probably do. Lol
Andre 3000 lacks the inspiration to rap and that’s okay. If he wants to walk into the sunset and never rap again shouldn’t be a big deal. Frankly he’s done enough.
you can tell when i grew up if you scroll through my music library, i dont know who tf these new artist are and dont care to know so i totally feel this video.
Its about vibrations and what we vibrate at. André is in a spiritual stage of his life. There is very little you want or need when you reach a certain stage in life. He's not trying to be relevant but searching his soul for joy. He didn't get that joy from rap but he is from the flute and that is more important. Thats what life is about. Finding joy.
That Killer Mike feature was INSANE. And honestly, that was enough for me for a while. If he wants to drop a couple songs or a small EP, cool, but i dont think a full album of just Andre would be as well received as people think. And this is coming from someone who has him in their Top 10. But i understand that his sound is something that works in small bursts, not full albums. An outkast EP would be dope, but that's about as far as I see it going.
I think its more "Damn, I WISH you were putting out raps because you're one of the BEST of the BEST of the ELITE of the ICONS and its like, we're missing out." Its more of a selfish compliment.
Andre saying he got nothing to talk about. Idk about that. You lived a long and fulfilling life. He’s been traveling meeting all kind of ppl probably experiencing all kinds of things. Plenty to talk about. Pretty sure he just doesn’t want to rap. That’s fine but keep it clear and honest. Same reason I say lay off drake. Ppl telling him he too old to be rapping how he is, but he just stays adapting and in touch with popular music.
@@coltonholaway7902 doesn’t necessarily have to be those stories ya know. A nice flow structure will always captivate. Hell I’m 39 and I don’t feel this way. To each their own I guess
Some of these people think J Cole is to Lyrical so they’ll definitely destroy 3K. He’s spoken about His Mental Health in the past and He looks happy just playing his flute.
Andre 3000 evolved to just Andre. He is correct. He is 40 years old and he is a mature citizen. He doesn’t want to promote the crap that a lot of rappers are these days. I’m sure he learned a lot and wants to leave the world a better place not worst.
Atlanta rap, as I understand, is more about the community around rap than the music itself. We only hear the music but there is so much more going on with the artists than what they release. In my opinion the community that 3K grew up with no longer exists so he doesnt have the same motivations to rap as he used to. Lil Wayne on the other hand seems like an artist who can create in any environment. if he doesnt have a community around him he'll create one. Great video and I appreciate you encouraging people to think critically about the decisions artists make
Imo Andre is a musician/artist , it is normal for artist to evolve to more abstract forms of expression with getting older. Wayne is a rapper , he is in his own lane , Andre was way more than just an MC
And it's amazing how people have a problem with growth. Andre has grown and matured. And that's what his music reflects. There's absolutely no detriment to what he has decided to do and the direction he's taking. His music is a reflection of how he really feels and if you not with it, just keep quite and let the man do his thing. Let the man speak his truth.
If the 20 year old version of you does listen to the 40 year version of You, It is what it is, but if the 20 year old version of you doesn't listen to the 40 year old version of you. You have your answer.
Fun Fact Andre 3000 is the definition of fear he says he's like a old fighter and he doesn't want to get in the ring and get knocked out don't let fear control you
I remember I used to be heavily into wakting on an album from 3k... Then before I knew it 10 years had passed, then one of my friends posted about him finally coming out with an album all excited like, I read it was a flute album and I knew it was over. Killer Mike the dude we really looking for in that regard at this point.
All this talk about OG rappers coming back and you didn’t mention Nas dropping 5 spectacular albums and winning a Grammy 25 years after his debut album.
ANDREA is saying what he wanted to say. He's always said it with his music. Now it's with the flute. Ya'll just ain't trying to hear it. People always try to tell people who they are and how to be themselves selfs😂
In the cartoon Class of 3000, his SELF INSERT Sunny Bridges was tired of being famous and just wanted to make music for the fun of it. Wanted to pass his love of music to the youth and spread that love further across the world. His new album expresses that as well. Just let the man vibe and spread his love of music the way he sees fit.
Bro I’ve said this on various social media platforms over the past few weeks, folks have to stop trying to put a crown on 3k that he clearly doesn’t want to wear. That’s the exact reason I can’t put him in any top tier list of mine. For one he might have skill but he’s been out worked by plenty of other rappers both bigger and smaller than him who deserve that recognition over him. And 2 I’m not going to give someone a title if they don’t want it. There’s too much good music and too many artists out here who put in that work and want that recognition from their fans and peers. Let 3k live his life the way he wants. He doesn’t want this rap shit. Let it go. He feels he’s not worthy of the throne and he keeps telling yall to put someone in that seat and folks don’t want to accept it 3k fell out of love with rap a long time ago
Everyone's is different so if the man doesn't want to rap he doesn't have to the man has given us his Outkast albums and guest verses so yeah I think it's fine to play flute I also like how he's giving us producers a lot of sample material :)
0:48 Sad only for fans who can't keep up with an artists path of inspiration. A lot of people are very happy to see an Artist continue to grow instead of staying the same and eventually becoming a caricature of yourself.
6:31 this is where I realize the whole crux of this video is essentially indirectly saying “if I were André 3000- there’s plenty of things I would have done and been tapped into” essentially the whole “no excuses” bs argument
I cannot understand the mentality that if someone does something really well they are expected to do that for the rest of their life. We all mature in different ways. Let Andrew Benjamin be himself and stop worrying about what he is doing
Wayne and 3 stacks is two different people. Just because you have everything to talk about doesnt mean everyone else does. We all have different lives. Lil wayne should know this.
Andres right, look at wayne hes literally falling apart still living like a college drop out, you need to be getting ready to take care of your grand kids, when em who is dam near 50 came out at 50 cents concert doing hand signs its just looked bad, even 50 sounded awful, he was weazing on the mic, you guys are middle aged men stop trying to be relevant, its not healthy
That’s the problem with hip-hop we don’t respect our legends when they drop new music. Why do you think these new rappers ain’t selling that well right now like there’s no substance there’s no lyricism and there ain’t no deep record no more. all these new rappers care about is TikTok hits. Most of these new rappers don’t even perform their songs just look the crowd does it for them and that’s not good for me so for you to say that Andre is right don’t give me wrong Andre 3000 is one of the greatest lyricist of all time but I feel like he’s wrong in the regard of saying that he’s not “hip” no more, I guarantee you if Andre drops a album With nothing but him rapping on it a lot of his hard-core fans would listen to it in a heartbeat and I guarantee you he will sell way more than these new rappers are right now, so Wayne is right in that regard when it comes to that because if you think about it, look at all of the other genres like country, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll Soon as they drop new albums, their legends still sell out they still doing stadium tours and all that but somehow hip-hop legends can’t, nah I don’t like that 🤷🏾♂️💯
@ladalethompson8930 these dudes aren't legends, they corrupted the minds of young men, including themselves, which is why main stream won't give them deals anymore, grow up
It's the mindset of Andre. he's on a deeper more "enlightened" path of maturity. A particular artist he is... He wants to evolve as a human being and as black man in america. That will reflect only in his approach to the creative arts. Also how can he makes his rhyming elevation RELATABLE AND MARKETABLE...TO THE YOUTH!!! in order the change or shift the consciousness in america...particularly black america. YOUNG BLACK AMERICA?!?!? Because look at todays rap music. The only hope we have now from young people in Hip Hop Culture and Rap Music as the byproduct of the culture... Our hope lives on with Coast Contra. So... 3K decided to bow out gracefully... And do his own thing. Besides.... the world is left with a body of work from 1993 as an artist to teach the youth every morning while dropping the kids off at school. But kids want Trap and Drill music. The only value that bring is the rising costs in daycare and funeral expenses.
8:05 not saying yeats listeners on average listen to older music but yeat himself said he listens to old music (1800-1900's century) in his latest interview

Wayne does not look healthy
he just got a dental surgery so his face messed up he healthy now
Man Lil Wayne’s voice is just weird, his face too…..really hope the dude is okay
I definitely don't remember his voice sounding this messed to and I grew up listening to Wayne in his prime back in like 2008-2011 ish? I could be wrong though

3k been having imposter syndrome in his prime, it makes sense he feels disconnected to what’s going on

This is my thing I feel like Wayne is right because how come in hip-hop is the only genre where our hip-hop legends don’t get the respect when they drop new albums compared to the other genres like R&B country rock ‘n’ roll, etc. all of those legends from those genres are still selling well and still selling out but I never seen someone say that they too old to be singing, playing the guitar, dancing and all that stuff but in hip-hop somehow someway we the only genre where there’s a age limit, Nah I don’t like that. 💯
This is fax
Facts but at the same time Andre just judging himself, we all clearly don’t give a fuck about his age lol griselda is a example too, they all “old” to young people, still poppin
I get it, but who’s listening to rap at 60??? R&B will never get old. It gets better with time.
@@feelingthinking you just prove my point but it’s ok
You missed Andre's point and misconstrued what he said. He didnt say rappers cant be 40. He said at 41 HE has nothing to rap about. He has moved on. Also hip hop is the only genre that forces their artist ti have to rap about guns drugs money and hoes to be successful. Few artist can stray from that without being called corny. Especially in this new generation who thinks its cool to be disrespectful to everyone. At 41 Andre isnt in the streets. He is a mature man who has grown up. He isnt doing drugs nor selling it. He isnt toting guns. He doesnt care about hoes. In todays climate what would he rap about? Why cant he make music for a different genre? Hell as i get older i find myself getting bored with rap and not really wanting to listen to it either.
Artists need to be free to just be. Especially black men we are constantly boxed in.
Facts!!
Yeah every nigga ain’t a gangasta rapper or a lame nigga…there’s more than 2 categories
BM boxes BM in. I think the world is ready for BM to change .
Exactly
@@feelingthinking Go back to the Shaderoom
Andre doesnt want to keep making rap music...he just doesn't want to tell the fans that. He finally feels free and able to enjoy a "simpler life." People just want to keep people in their mental "box"
The flute album was immaculate, Listened to it at work and never felt so at peace in my life + producers boutta sample the hell out of this album
The man paid his dues, put in the work, so the man can surely broaden his horizons musically
The flute makes beautiful music and is not easy to play. Good for Andre for creatively expressing himself the way he wants to express himself despite anyone's else's opinion.
Lil Wayne and Andre both get mad respect - everyone approaches art, expression and creativity on their own path. No need to second guess the artists - just sit back and enjoy the ride 🪈🎙️🤘🏽🔥💕😋
Ya'll not gon believe me but, thats okay:
I had a opportunity to be stuck in a car for an hour with Mr. Collipark a few years ago who is great friends with Andre, and what you said in the video is absolutely right. I asked him this and he said Andre is worried that the new generation wont accept his music and that he's grown out of it. And this was in 2018. I can only imagine those feelings intensify the older that he gets.
I've been listening to Outkast since the late 90s and I know Andre has moved far away from hip hop culture for a long time. Even when he made the Love Below album and Speaker Box with Big Boi like 20 years ago, Andre's album was a completely different concept and had everything from jazz, funk, R&B, and other instrumental parts in between. Andre was and still is one of my favorite rappers and I'm glad I got to see them live back in 2002. But anyways I think Andre is just on a whole different level now and has been separating himself from the whole drugs, guns and violence culture that rap and hip hop promote so much. Just my opinion though..
Exactly. Even 20 years ago, he was already starting to drift away from hiphop.
He is practicing perhaps a mindfulness perspective on music without words. It's a totally valid shift. Love it.
Im happy for him, following his heart & living free from what everyone wants! Imagine doing whatever everyone wants u to do except yourself,
I agree and disagree with Andre tbh. I don't resonate with his comment about age. But if you don't feel like you don't have shit to say then don't say anything, idc how many people checking for you~
he scared to drop something the fans don't like
There’s nothing to disagree with. Dude said he don’t have raps like that lol. He would know
Trying to tell a grown man not to speak is egocentrism at its finest lol

True fans love the artist not just their art. It makes me happy to see them still doing that thing they love. They've earned the right to not be judged.
There are five different types of fans
Super fans
True fans
Casual fans
Anti fans
Non fans
I'm a true fan of music. That means I am honest about the music regardless of the creator. I don't care whose feelings I hurt. Music is music and that all I care about.
Andre dropped a wack flute album. Plain and simple.
@thejtrax in terms of your own selfish expectations sure. Just cus you're mad you didn't get what you want doesn't make someone's art objectively bad. You just don't like a mfr playing a flute and that's totally fine.
@@exileisland2675 a super fan is fan that worships the artist. The artist can do no wrong in there eyes. Everything tbey realease is fire. These are the types that will write letters and whine when the artist doesn't write them back.
@@thejtrax what exactly is your point?
@@exileisland2675 an anti fan is only there to criticise the artist. That's the goal , thats the intention. It's not about honesty. It's about finding fault and mocking it. I am not an anti fan so when I honestly say Andre 3000 album is wack its,truly from an authentic place. I'm very familiar with outcast. And love most of there work.
He's just enjoying his life
It’s his therapy, inner peace and joy that he’s after. He has people that doesn’t know him interacting with him because of his new path. Let him live.
Correction Birdman made hundreds of millions of dollars
Exactlyyyyy
Lil Wayne, Nas and Eminem deserve so much repect for keeping it up after all this time
I 1000% agree!!!
I love Em but he doesn’t have much to say. I don’t want a legend to put out something just to say they’re still rapping.
@@Sasukeluvzme13 wym he doesnt have much to say😭listen to Lace It
the flute album is beautiful , hope that it will helps him come back with some bars
I’m 21 hella yeat and Wayne in my playlist😂💯
i love lil wayne so much i can’t even put into words what he means to me lol
Nobody finna talk about his dirtbike voice
😂
Dirtbike voice is CRAZY
😂
Bro you need to go listen to that album, there is much more than just flutes in it! Close your eyes and shut off the world, its a Masterpiece of gorgeous sounds!
Scarface is 53 years old. Still raps, & hasn't really changed his style. And of course Jay-Z is another great example.
Nas is the best example of this. Bro put out 4 highly acclaimed albums and got 2 Granmy Noms for it.
Andre and Wayne are 2 different artists. One talks about himself and his current life situation. And the other raps about the same stuff he’s been rapping about. One is a storyteller. And the other is a punchline freestyle rapper.
Not really. Waye has a wide variety of things he raps about including new material. It’s why he’s been actively relevant so long
I literally just commented this! He dabbles in other Genres yes; but His lyrics are the same Money; Red Bones; Sex; and His Purple Stuff in the Cup. He hasn’t evolved and he speaks about nothing impactful he’s good at punchlines and being Wayne.
Life of the Party is one of Ye's best songs thanks to 3000
Thank god somebody said it.
Yall remember those TH-cam videos in 2010 talm bout lil wayne, gucci mane, soulija boy destroyed rap 😂
Andre 3000 on Cudi's song By Design is so great.
Yessssssssssss!!!!! Have you heard the whole soundtrack from the movie "Entergalactic"??! OMG it's magically PERFECT 💪🏾
Cuz that's where that song is from, in case you didn't know, but you probably do. Lol
Andre 3000 is so good when he does pop up smh. He could put out a good body of work
Andre 3000 lacks the inspiration to rap and that’s okay. If he wants to walk into the sunset and never rap again shouldn’t be a big deal. Frankly he’s done enough.
I grew up on Wayne and yeat my fav artist out rn 😂
L
@@GoofballentL
What's with these click bait titles HY? You said he called out Andre in the title and then say he didnt call him out in the video wtf lol
you can tell when i grew up if you scroll through my music library, i dont know who tf these new artist are and dont care to know so i totally feel this video.
Looking at Wayne and listening to him talk was depressing! Andre 3000 was right!
Sometime the world needs to let people just grow...Artistically. May not be what you want, but he's the Artist.
Its about vibrations and what we vibrate at. André is in a spiritual stage of his life. There is very little you want or need when you reach a certain stage in life. He's not trying to be relevant but searching his soul for joy. He didn't get that joy from rap but he is from the flute and that is more important. Thats what life is about. Finding joy.
A true rebel will eventually rebel even against his own rebellion.
That Killer Mike feature was INSANE. And honestly, that was enough for me for a while. If he wants to drop a couple songs or a small EP, cool, but i dont think a full album of just Andre would be as well received as people think. And this is coming from someone who has him in their Top 10. But i understand that his sound is something that works in small bursts, not full albums. An outkast EP would be dope, but that's about as far as I see it going.
I think its more "Damn, I WISH you were putting out raps because you're one of the BEST of the BEST of the ELITE of the ICONS and its like, we're missing out." Its more of a selfish compliment.
Andre saying he got nothing to talk about. Idk about that. You lived a long and fulfilling life. He’s been traveling meeting all kind of ppl probably experiencing all kinds of things. Plenty to talk about. Pretty sure he just doesn’t want to rap. That’s fine but keep it clear and honest. Same reason I say lay off drake. Ppl telling him he too old to be rapping how he is, but he just stays adapting and in touch with popular music.
Unless he was to go story teller route like von did with crazy stories or dmx kinda hard to put those kinds of expirences in rap
@@coltonholaway7902 doesn’t necessarily have to be those stories ya know. A nice flow structure will always captivate. Hell I’m 39 and I don’t feel this way. To each their own I guess
Some of these people think J Cole is to Lyrical so they’ll definitely destroy 3K. He’s spoken about His Mental Health in the past and He looks happy just playing his flute.
Andre happy and living his life doing what inspires him and everyone acting like he cares about their opinion 🙄
Andre 3000 evolved to just Andre. He is correct. He is 40 years old and he is a mature citizen. He doesn’t want to promote the crap that a lot of rappers are these days. I’m sure he learned a lot and wants to leave the world a better place not worst.
Atlanta rap, as I understand, is more about the community around rap than the music itself. We only hear the music but there is so much more going on with the artists than what they release. In my opinion the community that 3K grew up with no longer exists so he doesnt have the same motivations to rap as he used to. Lil Wayne on the other hand seems like an artist who can create in any environment. if he doesnt have a community around him he'll create one. Great video and I appreciate you encouraging people to think critically about the decisions artists make
People have the right to evolve I don't think it's so much fear. Everyone doesn't want to be in a box.
Andre 3000 still raps and will still do features at least so thats cool.
Imo Andre is a musician/artist , it is normal for artist to evolve to more abstract forms of expression with getting older. Wayne is a rapper , he is in his own lane , Andre was way more than just an MC
He wants to convey emotion with melodies , not with words , that's just it
And it's amazing how people have a problem with growth. Andre has grown and matured. And that's what his music reflects. There's absolutely no detriment to what he has decided to do and the direction he's taking. His music is a reflection of how he really feels and if you not with it, just keep quite and let the man do his thing. Let the man speak his truth.
If the 20 year old version of you does listen to the 40 year version of You, It is what it is, but if the 20 year old version of you doesn't listen to the 40 year old version of you. You have your answer.
andre 3k has never had a bad bar.
Lil wayne hasn't aged tho.. he still lil wayne
Fun Fact Andre 3000 is the definition of fear he says he's like a old fighter and he doesn't want to get in the ring and get knocked out don't let fear control you
What the hell is wrong with Wayne’s face?! Is this clone already malfunctioning? This is like the 9th one
I remember I used to be heavily into wakting on an album from 3k... Then before I knew it 10 years had passed, then one of my friends posted about him finally coming out with an album all excited like, I read it was a flute album and I knew it was over. Killer Mike the dude we really looking for in that regard at this point.
All this talk about OG rappers coming back and you didn’t mention Nas dropping 5 spectacular albums and winning a Grammy 25 years after his debut album.
Andre 3000 still do features so will be fine he’s not completely done
This guy sounds like he needs an Andre rap record and can't accept that Andre doesn't need an Andre rap record
He said what he said. If Andre 3000 want to drop music he will. Why are we telling him how he feel.
3stacks is a grown adult. He has moved past hip hop and He’s right. Let him live
🥰😍🤩 andre 3000 is A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MAN.
We are all the Class Of 3000
ANDREA is saying what he wanted to say. He's always said it with his music. Now it's with the flute. Ya'll just ain't trying to hear it. People always try to tell people who they are and how to be themselves selfs😂
In the cartoon Class of 3000, his SELF INSERT Sunny Bridges was tired of being famous and just wanted to make music for the fun of it. Wanted to pass his love of music to the youth and spread that love further across the world. His new album expresses that as well. Just let the man vibe and spread his love of music the way he sees fit.
Bro I’ve said this on various social media platforms over the past few weeks, folks have to stop trying to put a crown on 3k that he clearly doesn’t want to wear. That’s the exact reason I can’t put him in any top tier list of mine. For one he might have skill but he’s been out worked by plenty of other rappers both bigger and smaller than him who deserve that recognition over him. And 2 I’m not going to give someone a title if they don’t want it. There’s too much good music and too many artists out here who put in that work and want that recognition from their fans and peers. Let 3k live his life the way he wants. He doesn’t want this rap shit. Let it go. He feels he’s not worthy of the throne and he keeps telling yall to put someone in that seat and folks don’t want to accept it
3k fell out of love with rap a long time ago
Everyone's is different so if the man doesn't want to rap he doesn't have to the man has given us his Outkast albums and guest verses so yeah I think it's fine to play flute I also like how he's giving us producers a lot of sample material :)
Wayne got props from me when he said he hired a vocal coach to adapt to the audience of the next generation
Why is it sad that he doesn't wanna rap anymore...some people grow and mature. I love that he has.
Respect where Andre is.
I'm so glad nas never had the same thought process as andre 3000
Tunchi has been signed to cashmoney since he was 11 years old. making that 30 years in the game. Goated
lil Wayne doesn't only make rap music tho, he made a whole rock album
0:48 Sad only for fans who can't keep up with an artists path of inspiration. A lot of people are very happy to see an Artist continue to grow instead of staying the same and eventually becoming a caricature of yourself.
If he lived here next Manhattan,he be scetzo!
andre "now that im 40 i noticed I dont like tomatoes"
wayne "how can you hate tomatoes. im 40 and i still love tomatoes"
I'm 34 and i still want super new stuff lol
6:31 this is where I realize the whole crux of this video is essentially indirectly saying “if I were André 3000- there’s plenty of things I would have done and been tapped into” essentially the whole “no excuses” bs argument
I cannot understand the mentality that if someone does something really well they are expected to do that for the rest of their life.
We all mature in different ways. Let Andrew Benjamin be himself and stop worrying about what he is doing
Yeah, Wayne looks super happy. 😂
I wholehaertly agree with this take
Wayne sounds like a bullfrog
Wayne and 3 stacks is two different people. Just because you have everything to talk about doesnt mean everyone else does. We all have different lives. Lil wayne should know this.
Andre isn't on another level than these cats; he's in a different atmosphere.
Lil Wayne is not in debt drake is friend lil Wayne chilling
Andres right, look at wayne hes literally falling apart still living like a college drop out, you need to be getting ready to take care of your grand kids, when em who is dam near 50 came out at 50 cents concert doing hand signs its just looked bad, even 50 sounded awful, he was weazing on the mic, you guys are middle aged men stop trying to be relevant, its not healthy
That’s the problem with hip-hop we don’t respect our legends when they drop new music. Why do you think these new rappers ain’t selling that well right now like there’s no substance there’s no lyricism and there ain’t no deep record no more. all these new rappers care about is TikTok hits. Most of these new rappers don’t even perform their songs just look the crowd does it for them and that’s not good for me so for you to say that Andre is right don’t give me wrong Andre 3000 is one of the greatest lyricist of all time but I feel like he’s wrong in the regard of saying that he’s not “hip” no more, I guarantee you if Andre drops a album With nothing but him rapping on it a lot of his hard-core fans would listen to it in a heartbeat and I guarantee you he will sell way more than these new rappers are right now, so Wayne is right in that regard when it comes to that because if you think about it, look at all of the other genres like country, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll Soon as they drop new albums, their legends still sell out they still doing stadium tours and all that but somehow hip-hop legends can’t, nah I don’t like that 🤷🏾♂️💯
You can't tell a guy who just sold out a huge world tour to stop trying to be relevant though lol. I think that makes it quite clear he is relevant
@ladalethompson8930 these dudes aren't legends, they corrupted the minds of young men, including themselves, which is why main stream won't give them deals anymore, grow up
@ladalethompson8930 if anything i feel sorry for them, and hope they get out of this game
@JS310 i can when he's dying do you see his appearance and sound of voice, it's not about money,
that i dont like hiphop vibe from people like Andre always pisses me off. Hip Hop can be anything you want it to be
It's the mindset of Andre. he's on a deeper more "enlightened" path of maturity. A particular artist he is... He wants to evolve as a human being and as black man in america. That will reflect only in his approach to the creative arts.
Also how can he makes his rhyming elevation RELATABLE AND MARKETABLE...TO THE YOUTH!!! in order the change or shift the consciousness in america...particularly black america. YOUNG BLACK AMERICA?!?!? Because look at todays rap music.
The only hope we have now from young people in Hip Hop Culture and Rap Music as the byproduct of the culture... Our hope lives on with Coast Contra.
So... 3K decided to bow out gracefully... And do his own thing.
Besides.... the world is left with a body of work from 1993 as an artist to teach the youth every morning while dropping the kids off at school.
But kids want Trap and Drill music. The only value that bring is the rising costs in daycare and funeral expenses.
8:05 not saying yeats listeners on average listen to older music but yeat himself said he listens to old music (1800-1900's century) in his latest interview
WEEZY THE 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 been listening to him since I was 12 I'm 27
