I don't know how I feel about Andre 3000 being nominated by the Grammys for his flute album

[KingDanz]

I couldn't even hear the flute... Shyt was trash

 

[MushroomX]

I am just in it for the Chaos of 3K beating out Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Taylor Swift for the award.

 

[Goat poster]

He just had a show in my city that was packed

Much more older and artsy crowd though

He's performing in the same venues violinist/jazz bands/orchestras and shyt be performing at

 

[rabbid]

I mean looking at the full list though looks like they threw him on there to make sure it wasn't all pop music. could be an upset if the voters are older.

stacks has shown its more ways to skin a cat


rapped
sung
played the flute

and he won grammys

shyt if dj quik decided to do a jazz album he would win a grammy too

Okay.

More ways to skin a cat. That idiom means a variety of ways to complete one task.

Andre's metaphor is breeding dogs, breeding cats, horses, being an athlete and a chef.

It's all over the place.

And they rewarded it.

It's messy.

He brought out erykah when he was in Dallas.. well she suprised him

Im around some legitimate musicians who play multiple instruments and they said its not a genuinely great flute album, nothing about is unique or advanced whatsoever. Take that for what you will, they are pretty critical of a lot of things in general musically

Word! Thanks for that.

It's like he's just frolicking about and getting rewarded in a different field. Jazz musicians are Prolly freaking out.

 

[Crumple]

Usual pretentious cac bullshyt
fukk a Grammy

Okay.

I think it's pretentious of him to sell out jazz shows just off the name Andre 3000.

 

[Knucklehead]

Okay.

I think it's pretentious of him to sell out jazz shows just off the name Andre 3000.

Respectfully how is that pretentious?
He obviously believes in his music and wants people to hear it.
I know a bunch of people who’ve gone to his shows and especially the people who saw it in good venues acoustically thought it was great and well worth the money.

 

[reserved_one]

No lie, I’ve only listened to that album once and it wasn’t anything special to me. There were some interesting moments but nothing that had me like . With that said, to get a Grammy selection for album of the year for this shyt is more impressive than Andre’s flute performance on the album. I hope he wins just for shyts and laughs…fukk it

 

[Formerly known as...]

It's some bullshyt but Im ok with it. Macklemore won best rap album over Kendrick. This is just payback.

When you put it like that I'm ok with it actually but in reality it's a joke that he's nominated for album of the year. Nobody can name a single track off it and nobody is playing it.

 

[Illmagic]

I know how I feel. It’s stupid and should not be nominated unless there a path for another flute player to get an album of the year nod. They love rewarding Dre when he’s not doing hip hop

 

[NormanConnors]

It's a great album for the type of music it is, simple as that

 

[Higher Tech]

I agree. Its also telling that he wasn’t nominated for best album for any other genre.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

3 stacks is overrated there I said it

He was part of one of the GOAT hip hop duos in Atlanta and is part of the history but am tired of pretentious heads putting him above Nas Jay G Rap Rakim Redman etc when his output has been low and has not been able to produce real albums after the 2000s
