Jesse Boykins III | Prototype 3010 [Andre 3000 Cover], a short film

[@nickgreen7646]

He did Andre 3000 justice on this

[@kjwdeuce88]

Yes, I think he would be proud if he heard it! I love it when people don't butcher a song but really make it their own while still respecting the original!

[@ShonTolliverMusic]

Once you hear this version, you can never unhear it. Been rocking this since 2010 after downloading it from SoulBounce.

[@kikis9294]

I'm so late....this version is amazing.

[@blessingscomewithpatience]

@@kikis9294 check out Raheem Devaughn’s version too, it is 🔥

[@allanya74]

[@centaurix88]

Why? Do you Know the reason?

[@83ttaylor]

‼️

[@TheRobertBeal]

When I first heard Andre 300 do this joint, I experienced a euphoria that defied description . I was high off of the rhythm, and listening to this brother's interpretation , I'm falling in love with the rhythm all over again.

[@Strawberryjam_good]

Such a beautiful cover, and the part where Summer Breeze comes in... Melting in the middle of winter

[@imadome87]

Prototype is my All-Time favorite song ever since the first time I heard it years ago... and I must say I approve of this cover. Love It!

[@duanegarrett4900]

[@_mariacarolina]

I'm in love with this guy........ This version is simply amazing

[@RHYCrusaderZ]

Jesse boykins is what love sounds like

[@tarekaellis438]

the ending of this song almost had me in tears...I think I'm in love with this song...I have always been in love with the prototype of what love could be...

[@andreastokes1521]

I hear a little Summer Breeze in this thang👆👆👆

[@tarekaellis438]

Andrea Stokes ....das right...

[@creatednice09]

first off this short film touched me a little deeper than i expected..because the poem said at the end really spoke to me..

[@mwanamkeambayeanampendaYesu]

I am hypnotized...mesmerized...SMITTEN!

[@aminahroberts6807]

Me too🤩🥰🤩

[@Learn2LoveMe4Kids]

Me three!!!!!!! OMG!!!!

[@devinwilliams5334]

No diss to Andre, but I think this is my favorite version! 💚

[@profrayfitzgerald969]

You're one of the most underrated artists over the past two decades or so. We need more of your work, more of your talent, bruh. Keep us updated.

[@anaismommy]

Coming from Andre 3000 biggest fan, I absolutely love this!!! Best cover I've heard!!

[@Wassupdun]

2020 and this still bumps!

[@laurjefferson]

I can’t believe it’s been 10 yrs since this song has been out. I had the amazing opportunity to not only see him perform live but meet him as well. Very humble and gentle man I will forever be a JB3 fan. Love you Jesse and many prayers to you and your family. 💕✨

[@sacreddragon69]

You have to take care of the African Queen… regardless. And she needs to feel appreciated to do the same for you African King from the start. The rest is easy…

[@aminahroberts6807]

🤩🥰

[@NajSinghs...CreativeRecipes]

Been on repeat for a straight week. I think at LEAST 1k views came from my hips bc the track & spoken word are SMOOTH!

[@16thokozani5]

that 1:47 back up vocal is 🔥

[@micahmcclain4675]

Support true talent and real music. Turn off your radios

[@speakeasy7192]

With every life comes the rise and fall. But in between is a beautiful green mile

[@paperstack39]

DAMN!! He just killed it!!! Once again JB3 knocks it out of the park. Son you doin it!!

[@jessicaraichelle6381]

His voice though.. 😍😍

[@carlkindred3995]

This brother is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@wdhubb]

I just discovered this version of Andre 3000's song today and I have to say you SMASHED it !

[@kikis9294]

#1 of 2 of my top covers of prototype.

[@the_beader_chic1395]

Love love love this… I think I’m in love again 🎶🎶🎶🎶❣️

[@Fabian_White]

Still in love with this. The melodies, the production, the slight gust of summer breeze throughout... Everything :)

[@NaturalDivineGoddess]

I hope that You are The One if not then we are done Cause me Being with any other Would not be as fun we are walking on the Sun Look at what We have become carbon copies should run cause you are Numero Uno No need for Second Place Our third time is a charm Four Play is Great High Fivin When we are done..

[@mijad]

This entire project is golden.

[@TheKima20032]

The very first lyrics explain the whole video. Jesse was the one, the other dude was the prototype, she wanted him to be what what Jesse was

[@rbk2k]

I remember the first time I seen this video, and I was low-key type confused,but that makes so much since ,an it's been 7,8 years

[@altaariq]

@@rbk2k Me too

[@ronniepreer9596]

just getting into JB3 music and this dude is nice 👂🎶🎷🎤

[@itsjaclyn]

this made me just cryy. Touching! I wish I could see him live man!

[@aprildavis5368]

Favorite part 1:36-1:59 Vocals are so raw and sultry !!!

[@toni2combs278]

Yaaassss

[@13Dippr]

Beyond Deep! Truly Amazing.

[@Johnson44.]

When I heard this version it just let me know how music, and poetry could never be tainted. A master piece

[@awatson8683]

absolutely.

[@Johnson44.]

Yes I appreciate the art

[@Mzshey2006]

His voice👏🏽👍 I loved his version of prototype and to have poetry in there too was icing on the cake 🙏🏽👍

[@libbygurl1]

It is an exquisite, tantalizing journey. I find this rendition brings me to euphoric highs as it crashes into my auditory senses and mind. This expounds utter and complete immersion to the waves of my being as the sparks of life burn bright. I think I'm in love.

[@heavenmjnd]

God bless you and your voice

[@ClaudioGilberto]

Real Beauty isn't outside of us but is inside of us.... Don't take life for granted cause there's no point of return.

[@Mzshey2006]

When he take his hair down he bout to get his zone 🙌🥵🔥🔥 and those vocals on yeah ooh wee got me 😌👏

[@DSmallMusicisMe]

Can't wait to work with this Guy. He's The Truth.

[@soulwiredcafe]

I just love your music... Vibrates higher. I can feel it in out.

[@Reebk87]

I'm a HUGE Andre 3000 fan in fact he's my role model and at first i wanted to rip this video apart but after i seen it i love it's great keep up the good work

[@Ad_Fitzgerald_]

I love your rendition of this song. Neo-soul always makes things better!

[@mustbeMajour]

one of my favs...period..killed it

[@1Shanajones]

Nicccceeeeee!!!! I agree, it is better than Andre 3000 version! I still love his music too, but damn this was cold! Smooth like butta as always Jesse!

[@darrenanderson5591]

1Shanajones nah fam you got it twisted. You can like it better than the original, but it is not better than the original. Some things are just made perfect and nothing is better than perfect.

[@morpheusxnyc]

Nah, fam. An original can be perfect and still a remakes comes out that is ALSO perfect and even better in all the ways that made the original was great. For example, the original Prototype had Andre 3000's off key, pitchy and comically bad vocals, which are, to say the least, NOWHERE NEAR as good any any one else that's ever remade this song (Jesse Boykins III, Raheem Devaughn, Jasmine Sullivan, etc.). And then musically, the remakes have the benefit of all the richer, fuller complexity of musical instrumentation and technology that have come about in the intervening years since the original. Add to that Andre's immature and ruinous ad libs that break the mood like "Stank you, smelly much", etc. and yeah, there's definitely room for improvement. The original was far form perfect. You're just hearing it through nostalgic ears.

[@82lsin]

I agree bro. Both are unique and perfect in their own way

[@traceyjessie5658]

The original is perfect because that's the way Andre intended to be he wrote and produced it he has every right to piece it together to way he deems fit stop trying to discredit that man cause YOU don't like his edition it's still the best version outta all the covers you just named bar none has nothing to do with nostalgia

[@emmittwilsoniv]

When the original came out I was in my late 20's and it's still in my playlist. That says how I feel about the song. Justice was done to it. I like this a lot. Respect

[@jagemini89]

omg i fell in love with this song the 1st time i heard and and when you sung it live in london i fell in love with it more lol totally love the vid with the dancers but i dont understand why she had the knife?

[@dozenroses4859]

So so” Dope” & I approve this dopeness👍🏾

[@jabariwilliams4068]

Jesse you did a phenomenal job

[@vainsmith]

this will always be my favorite song by andre3000. i like what jesse did to it as well & the video is nice too.

[@R0xiiee1]

that poem at the end...everytime...I listen the whole way through just for the poem, slick lol

[@1kiakia11]

I just can't get enough of his version....lawd!!!!!

[@NaturalDivineGoddess]

*Eros: I Think I AM in love with MYSELF. Philia: You must LOVE YOURSELF before you can TRULY LOVE others.*

[@gloandgrow55]

[@derrellbrooks8250]

Allanya74 I absolutely Agree with you on that one!!!

[@allanya74]

Still better than the original song...sorry Outkast. Jesse killed it!

[@mindfulone26]

i love love love love this so much! i could put this on repeat all day. JB ur a beautiful soul and i am so glad that you are sharing your gift of music and song with the world.

[@TMBuxton]

This was profound. I didn't really know what to expect, but now I'm wishing every artist I like that sings soul music would cover this. Would love to hear Raheem DeVaughn take a go at this.

[@Lady_Curry]

Raheem DeVaughn’s version is nice.

[@cliffordmckinney7324]

I really like this cover. You added some additional elements that I also like. Great job.

[@lamarlogan8731]
