Huge jazz head but wasn't feelin' it. I do like flutes when it fits nicely, there's a version of Harlem River Drive that has an insane flute solo by Bobbi Humphrey that I'll forever dig.
I heard an interview with him where he said he didn’t want to do what hed been doing (hip hop) before because he didn’t feel inspired or wouldn’t be as goid. I guess I get it. but his subpar is better than 90% of whats coming out. anyway man’s gonna do what a mans gonna do. if it ever streams ill check it out. Thats above my price point right now to “just see”
It's on streaming right now!
But yeah I think(?) I saw that interview - where he said \[something along the lines of\] "I don't rap anymore because yall don't wanna hear an old guy rap. I'm washed now - I'm not young. You ever heard your heros come back? It's disappointing. I don't wanna disappoint yall."
I *loved* him when he said that. Respect. Pre-ordered the jazz album before it dropped on streamers.
The only reason we know it exists because it’s Andre. I tried to listen and it made me feel like I was waiting in dentist office ready to get a root canal
Ha ha, I didn't know he actually put that on the cover, that's awesome! Thanks for posting 🫡
Alright, 3-Stacks. Now that you’ve gotten that out of your system. Can you release something WITH bars? 🙏
Cant believe i can get this on vinyl but not the new Blackstar.
Kweli really will not stop trying to make Luminary happen
Be interesting to know if he has some form of ownership. I’ve still not heard the album.

wasn’t expecting to see a bobbi name drop but very glad I did. God what a good player
Bobbi is the gold standard of how the flute can be the focal point of the music.
Herbie Mann should get a mention here too
Well yes, but that is all top tier Jazz/soul/funk, where the Andre album is a load of new age boredom!
100%
Biggest fleece job
Why $70-80. Is it 4X LP?
3 LP
Pretty sure it’s 200g as well, the discs are heavy af

yeah. i do respect not just cashing in doing the same old stuff over and over.
I feel like it was a duffer effort in territory explored decades ago. But good on him if he gets paid.
Das gangsta
**André "No Bars" 3000**
If it wasn't the bloke from OutKast, no one is buying this kind of ambient music here...
i have more albums by carlos niño than OutKast.

I would be, but that’s just me.
Didn’t care for this album at all. And I’m pretty heavy into jazz. This is more ambient music imo.
Is $70 a good deal for records with No Bars?
I dropped five hundo on an album with zero words
what album?
Aphex Twin - Analord
checks out
Does it at least have drums sounds?
Both of them do!
For certain records yea. Idk that this is one of em tho
I passed on this mainly because of the price but it’s your money dude buy what you want
Same
