I listened to the first track today. It’s so different from what I expected even though I knew it was experimental and without lyrics. Its meditative, atmospheric ambient dreamscape.

Let's get real here. Come on now...this is fricking shite. As a person who has been proclaimed as a real MC such as this guy, we have to really question wtf is going on with this. Nothing wrong with experimenting and having 'personal growth' within music or anything. But damn, just fricking do what you do best.

Yeah, it's not even jazz. Speaking of jazz Borealis Dancing by Jamie Branch (RIP) that came it this year is fantastic.

He recorded it under the influence of mushrooms.

He's explained that at his age, he didn't feel like he had anything relevant to rap about. Talent without content is lame no matter the medium.

He's one of the best MC's of all time, that's not even debatable. This is no reflection of what he used to be as a rapper. He's just not a rapper anymore. There's nothing really to question if you did any research/know why this album is the way it is. He has explained numerous times over the years of why he isn't rapping. he's not trying to be an old rapper trying to stay relevant and look stupid because he has no idea what is cool with the young generation like so many rappers have in the past. He plays the flute now and that's what he likes to do. He's really good at playing the flute so he made an album, it's pretty simple.

Leslie Jones and Jordan Klepper discussing the album on The Daily Show:
The Wrap. I don't usually agree with Leslie Jones but she is almost 100% correct. White people didn't turn Andre into Jethro Tull, they turned him into Yanni. Jethro Tull is much cooler. I get Andre wants to move on and this is where his head is at but it still sucks. Big Boi released BOOMIVERSE in 2017 and it had this banger: All Night.

“Oh, you know what? This is a beautiful, fascinating experiment in — ” Jordan Klepper began, before Jones cut him off (the two tag-teamed the headlines segment of the show on Thursday).
“No!” Jones screamed. “No it is not! I gotta say something Jordan; this man is one of the greatest rappers of all time. We have been waiting 17 years for this motherf—er to release a new album. And it’s all flute?! I’m gon’ kill somebody!”
“This is how you know the white people are winning,” she added. “Y’all done turned Andre 3000 into Jethro Tull!”
Klepper disagreed though, arguing that this is a “brave” move by Andre 3000. And to that, Jones actually did agree.
“Yeah it’s brave. ‘Cause if you play that s— in the hood, you gon’ get your arse beat,” she fired back.

Big Boi's solo run has been great. Sir Lucious Left Foot is my personal fave, but he rarely misses.

I'm confused, how are white people to blame for this?

She obviously has not been that interested seeing as anybody who was truly interested in him making a new rap album has realized for years that he is not making another rap album.

Leslie Jones loud mouth wouldn't know wtf the hood would do if it hit her in the face. Nobody is beating anybody up for playing the flute. Get dogged? Sure. She sounds like a freaking idiot with that. He also isn't trying to play this in the hood.
He's moved on in his career, it's not that hard to understand. You want to be disappointed, that I get. I was too when I realized, a long time ago, that he wasn't going to be putting out another rap album. But to get mad at him for doing it and acting like Leslie Jones is just stupid. This is what makes him happy, good for him.
