Andre 3000 is frolicking through life and I Iove it and here for it!

[@Rizzlyricist]

I used to listen to Andre 3k when I was 63, I am now 17. This will forever be a classic.

I’m so glad Stevie Wonder “secret life of plants” was mentioned

[@rasungod7257]

That album is definitely in my album collection .

[@pervertedalchemist9944]

Being that Andre 3000 is on a press run with this album, it makes sense why this episode is short by Questlove Supreme standards. However, any interview with him is better than none.

I like this comment before I even listened to the interview.🤓

[@AI-Consultant]

how much can you talk about a woodwind- be real its boring

[@AI-Consultant]

Hey, I get where you're coming from, but let's be real - we're talking about flutes here, not quantum physics. An hour is plenty of time to cover the topic without getting too deep in the weeds. While I appreciate your desire for a more in-depth discussion, I think we covered all the major points in a concise and engaging manner. Sometimes, less is more - even when it comes to talking about flutes. While the flute is certainly an interesting and complex instrument, I think an hour was more than enough time to cover all the key points and insights. Any longer and we might have been flutin' around a bit too much. @@esseen100

When I first heard New Blue Sun, I immediately put it on my meditation playlist. I personally look at it as a work of ear art. The fact that it's 3000 makes it even more special!

THANK GOD!!! A NEW ANDRE 3000 INTERVIEW WHERE HE IS BEING INTERVIEWED BY A BROTHER AND NOT SOME MIDDLE AGED WHITE MAN!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

I'm a white man and I get what you saying lol

[@Easup1]

Andre, what you did by making this flute album was you gave ‘folk’ the confidence and energy to know they can experiment with something outside their norm. You possibly are helping move folk in a more peaceful direction. Powerful

[@lulkLogan]

well said

Amen

[@antoinettesingh9755]

I’ve always loved Andre3000, his vibe, and talent. Glad to see him sharing a new facet of his musical craft.🎶

[@Life101_mindset_makeover]

Artistically speaking his description on how he plays the flute is basically free form jazz imo. Allowing the music to find you…thru your curiosity and imagination. 💪🏾🔥

[@fsu4031]

I remember when OutKast played a small club in Huntington Wv back in the early 90s. Always been a fan!

[@kinshalove4217]

Thank You big brotha’s QuestLove, Andre 3000.🙏🏿

[@mrdavidashley6892]

When I realize 3000 wasn't getting interviewed by the whole crew I was angry,😂 but I think this is just the interview that we needed. Great interview!

[@commaJim]

Wish Phonte was in on this convo but I'm glad to have it

[@ted.25blu57]

Most def

[@diabloecsobar8796]

😂Maaaaaaaannnn… you ain’t never lied. He asks the questions questlove forgets to ask. So clutch

[@freeisalwaysme]

For real. Because Phonte is older, still putting out music. I would like to hear Phontes critique to Dre having nothing to rap about being older.

[@commaJim]

@@freeisalwaysme agreed!

[@edgar8316]

Phonte and 3k would have been the greatest crossover !

They are a complementary pair for hip hop heads. Glad to hear their discourse.

I can hear these Guys talk about music all day everyday

[@organicsoulchef]

Such a rich dialogue that can only happen between kinfolk. Thank you for this! Bravo Andre 3000 for staying on YOUR path. The Sound (and Light) will continue to wake us up and take us back home. ❤

[@ricodz6]

The day the album came out it was drizzling and overcast outside and I was walking to a Metro pcs store on memorial dr. that i didn't know was not there anymore and i was playing the album for the 1st time walking past a park and it made life feel like an adventure. Nature felt as if it was vibing with the music. It was like living in a Zelda game. ❤

This conversation is everything.

This conversation is such a gift to those of us who’ve loved Andre for decades. Especially those of us who are natives of SWATS… ATL… lovers of true music and art. God bless Dre and his flight through this life… blessing us with his brilliance and freedom to be. Whew. 🙌🏿✨❤️🙏🏿

By far, the most respectful, intelligent, personal, conscious interview I've heard from Andre about this new place in his art. Thank you for this gem!!!

[@mrmiracle9956]

Quest interviewing Andre .it just makes sense.🌞

[@wo3605]

I love that he mentioned Shabaka Hutchings! When I heard he was doing a flute album, that was the first person I thought of!

[@redrockballa]

3k knew what he was doing with this album this hits the soul

[@Ace_4k]

I'm a May Gemini... 3 Stacks was always a role model of mine. Love his humble, vulnerable energy! Blew my mind that he loves 'Fast Car' because I've been playing it on and off for the past 2 months. Happy to stumble onto this podcast, Roots were also heroes of my youth!

[@olumideakingbade982]

It's been ages since I experienced such a warm, intimate, and insightful interview ... and with such legends conversating ? Absolutely enthralling. 3000's simple yet sophisticated demeanour is ever endearing. And the Prince stories were at once moving and hilarious. Thanks so much for this !

[@bluu_jay]

I love his explanation of how he finds his note w out knowing the technicality of theory

[@palacecat]

You know, I'd just stopped listening to new interviews with Andre 3000 (for New Blue Sun) because they were all just boring, but this is an organic, interesting interview. So good!

[@KtotheG]

Questlove asked some great questions... and Andre was very forthcoming.

Wow.. Grateful to listen to a conversation between two absolute legends.

[@MR.FREEDMAN]

The man knows his flutes.

What a gift to find this. Im not even mad theres no video...im just listening closer. I think Prince would love New Blue Sun...very similar vibe to P's instrumental pieces. The world needs this musical medicine. Thank you 🫶

I swear Quest Love was in my head when he said 3 stacks is the nicest Gemini I know 😂, FACTS!!!!

This was great. I love new blue sun. Very calming to my nervous system. I love it so much I stood up in a church and told people to listen to it. They didn’t agree but I said what I said 😂
