André 3000: I’ve Lived Long Enough To See My Work Influence Other Artists

[@dancoyle6911]

“I’m just fucking with you, Andre 3000” is the coolest thing Stephen has ever said on tv

[@sulgrave_]

"It's Mr. 3000, Stephen."

[@funkabaelic]

"Ice Cold" was a line too

[@banyarling]

So you haven't seen Colbert interview Nas

[@Loki_Yogi]

Andrè 3000 is such a likeable, humble, down-to-earth dude that seems 100% comfortable in his own skin. Such an inspiration on many levels. 🙏

[@Palidine4M0O]

Lovable, relatable, or biting, musical talents, and the same is true about his personality, jeez, man.

[@ASNALIE1]

Well,….down to mars

[@stevedoesnt]

He seems shy, even, which is difficult to imagine for me because his talent and unique artistic sensibilities are just larger than life.

[@williamhornabrook8081]

@@stevedoesnt He's said he deals with bad social anxiety. It's a lot to overcome for him to have had a big rap career and to do these appearances.

[@Ayplus]

He's a down to mars dude

[@tamikajohnson6910]

Andre has always had the most beautiful smile. Love me some 3000

[@rafiqali-bt1tc]

Facts! Dude almost made me cry.😂

[@angelinamclaughlin-heil]

Love that they gave him a gift of another flute. Musicians always have collections of instruments. ♥️

[@mr.joshua6818]

You can never have too many! No matter what my wife says lol

[@jeanneratterman4174]

Thank you, Stephen for keeping it respectful as audience laughed nervously. What a beautiful gift of the flute, too. ❤️❤️

[@chasemartin7713]

Right? Thanks for that comment, I had the same thought, it’s so amazing to see the wonders of the natural worlds ability to show us who we are, on full display, with respect, curiosity, love, and zero judgement! It’s so normal, but 20 years ago this woulda been scoffed at

[@Etatdesiege1979]

About the ayahuasca?

[@fatsuperfly]

He’s a good host and his interviews are awesome. He knows what Andre has done, and respects that he is doing something different. Some ppl will mock it, I also think it’s great. See another side, I thought Andre was completely done with music, glad he is going on. I play music, and sometimes for me, it’s sad to see ppl just not do anything, this was amazing.

[@sharontaylor4148]

For Stephen Colbert to gift you a unique flute AND ask for you to be his spirit guide... this is a Tolkien freak, man... History has just been made! Andre` is indeed, a special guy! Be still my heart!

[@THEDOPEGAME]

🎤 🎼 Andre3k has come FULL CIRCLE over the course of 30 years. A true ARTIST and VISIONARY 👨🏽‍🎨 🪈

[@swistedfilms]

Such a charismatic and yet grounded man! I love you 3000!

[@LR-mh8hs]

Stephen is a masterful interviewer as evidenced by this sample. Other than both being human, these two gentlemen couldn't be any more different. Yet, Stephen makes him feel like a treasured guest (gifts and all).

[@tripodthreefoot2268]

Yes

[@SMARTEARMIN]

i disagree, i think stephens silly questions make the interview awkward, superficial and unimportant.

[@covagotnext8337]

"Andre...Ice cold, 3000" 😂👏🥶🐐 that's what I wanted to hear! 😂

[@KYLETISZAI]

Love Stephen here .... Tho these talk hosts are all the same

[@minxiv7]

I give him credit for following his artistic vision, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping he was just punking us all. Those track names are 🔥🔥🔥

[@erlineandrews]

Made me smile the way he seemed to genuinely appreciate Stephen's gift.

[@quackman]

I like how André was purring during Colbert's reading too

[@LolaLaRue-sq6jm]

We should call him Andre PLUS because he's always so positive. Nothing but good vibes.

[@jaykay200809]

Man…. André 3000 seems like a humble down to earth human being. It’s hard to believe that he was spitting out hip hop lyrics with OutKast in the early 2000s.

[@mdaddy775]

He was doing iconic songs right out of the gate!

[@justinharris2320]

I still remember hearing "Player's Ball" at my cousin's house as a kid back in the early 90's

[@JigInsane]

​@@justinharris2320exactly, when Colbert said 15yrs. I was confused. Lol. But yeh, Player's Ball, Elevators, and numerous other tracks. 3 Stacks is transcendent.

[@theabyss86]

Early 2000s? Try early 90s

[@chasing8405]

@@JigInsane Think they were meaning "years active" so to speak. Albums from 92-07, then a tour in 14.

[@miguelmoreno3225]

Andre is really living in the moment. He is the definition of an artist.

[@Averagetim]

That almost handshake at the end had me on the edge of my seat

[@marquislove9661]

People like André make it easy to be human. They don't over complicate their existence.♥

[@Del-Lebo]

Happy tears!!! Love Andre for years...now, even more!!!!

[@soniafaye9919]

Listening to this album now -this is so soothing and beautiful. Andre 3000, be my spirit guide too please! I’ll meet you both in Hawaii for the next ceremony 😉

[@NancyPower33]

I picture Stephen asking Jon Batiste "Where should I get A3K a flute?" I love that they gifted him a flute. I gotta check out the album!

[@nannerz1994]

Unbelievabley talented guy.

[@dice5845]

I saw Andre perform his album live in Brooklyn tonight and it was one of the most euphoric experiences of my life. Thanks for a dope time, 3 Stacks!

[@shannonblanchard8195]

This music is intense ! I love it 🥰 Andre 3000 has the best speaking voice!

[@stobe187]

Three Stacks is a bona fide legend. I would be lying if I said that I don't yearn more verses from this man.. here's to hoping that we still get to hear some bars from this phenomenal writer and rapper.

[@macuff4149]

This guy is so cool and laid back and talented, I really like his music.

[@lmnopj415]

Grandiose Healing is all I see & feel & hear. Everyone deserves that kind of permission & honor.

[@stopdalies]

So glad I was around when he and Big Boi arrived.

[@Anni.things]

I just like his Jumpsuit and his jumper sweater. Also hope he samples the new flute 😎🖖

[@CalamityCannon]

The crush I had on this man when I was young was no joke. In the fevered but still kind of sweet way that an adolescent girl can be obsessed with a person she does not know. Boy bands? No thanks. Stankonia dropped when I was 12 and that album and album art? Sexy fractal ladies included? It was just game over for me. That hit in a way Aquemini and ATLiens couldn't yet in my tiny brain. I'm so glad he seems to be doing so well all these years later!

[@celestialnubian]

It's amazing how Colbert manages to have the highest "nutritional value" of any of the late night shows and still be #1.

[@dojo999]

Bro's just so chill. Maybe he's got it figured out. At least more than the rest of us.

[@djsico2000]

It’s refreshing to see an artist to be truly authentic. Everybody else is just people pleasing, playing a role, following the trends in order to be successful..

[@justinharris2320]

"True I got more fans, than the average man, But not enough loot to last me, To the end of week, I live by the beat, Like you live check to check, So if you don't move your feet, Then we don't eat, So we're like neck to neck

[@magroves]

Still one of the best lines i have ever heard

[@TheDylls]

Andre's acting in Dispatches From Elsewhere was amazing!

[@williamyoung617]

Man,,, Brother Andre'. We love your creative contributions. Keep on living, enjoying your Life I'm 60, I remember when Hip Hop was born. I remember when your first album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik came out. Automatically, my favorite track was Get up, get out, and get something . Don't stop creating bro°✨ Please.

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Got Guts, It’s nice to see someone stick on their own Value

[@rudyoliveira6532]

You can tell Stephen listened to OutKast back in the day.

[@germainmalacara8348]

That "ice-cold" name drop, Stephen Def has Speakerboxx on repeat.

[@ambientatomicorbitals7810]

His outfit is fire..

[@christopherfoerstel9116]

“Andre this is Andre y’all is just gon’ have to make Amends.” - he’s 100% himself, and I’m sure that shows on this album. Great interview :)

[@covagotnext8337]

Great guest selection, tonight! 👏

[@mrsrogers569]

I really love 3 stacks' spirit. He was genuinely appreciative of that gift.❤❤❤

Andre 3000 = "I turned into a panther" K&P skit = *becomes documentary*

Dope to see this, love the fact that he is able to go on these major mainstream platforms. Would also like to see him go to B High Radio, Breakfast Club, Drink Champs etc ... For the culture.

He is such a gem!

Yep a Gemini like me, I vibe

[@likehell5803]

Just barely got a ticket to this tour. This is such an exciting album/move for an artist at his level.

[@andrewmills2136]

It’s very refreshing to hear this. I will delve into his new album.

[@johnnygoodman2003]

If someone is going to play an instrument on an international talk show, it shouldn't be expected that they have some kind of competence or skill. Andre 3000s performance was pain sloppy and lazy. I cant stand to see artists who earn millions have the same capabilities as a grade schooler. Andre 3000 is a loser. A rich loser . And also the kind of garbage who fools his followers in thinking he has something worth listening to.

[@Mupshot]

wearing something akin to what I saw Buddy Guy wear last time I saw him live playing with Parliament. Andre now on my radar

Always interesting to find the artists who have pursued ayahuasca ceremony, and were affected by the experience. I encourage them all to talk about it more

Great gift to give to such an awesome person!

Stephen did a great interview. It was a hard interview to pull off. As Andre seemed nervous.

He's always like that

[@jimmydangelo9445]

Man watching his face when yall brought out the chinese flute is why i love artists

[@MrSugeWhite]

They say you should never meet your idols, 3 stacks is the complete opposite of that. Such a good caring dude. Extremely humble

cool interview, with two deep souls. btw, this Andre 3000 album is really really good!

Would love to read that headline. "Stephen Colbert, comedian, lost naked in Hawaiian jungle for three days after ayahuasca trip - says "I thought I could become a Keebler", more at 11."

[@patfrench8046]

Oh, that's funny. 😊

[@marchelfman3278]

It’s an easy error to make, but the flute is the only woodwind instrument that doesn’t use a reed to make a sound. The reed instruments are the oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone.

[@MissSarahe]

I will have a crush on him forever.

[@s-zo5641]

Not to sound like an old head but I wish rappers were like this nowadays. Andre is the goat.

[@thomasvieira5611]

Didnt know they took ayahuaska in Hawai, it's pretty common in Brazil

3 Stacks is one of the best rappers of all time!!! Aquemini is one of my favorite albums ever
