Matthew Shipp says Andre 3000's 7 Piano Sketches is “complete and utter crap

[Robbie3000]

Dude is right. 3000 could have kept that shyt to himself. It’s bad. Like really bad.

3000 keeps trying to do things that he is at best mediocre (acting, flute, piano etc) while refusing to do what he really excels at.

 

[King Poetic]

3 Stacks is a legend when it comes to OutKast

But the music media gassed this nikka up so much like he was above other solo artists without any solo projects of his own

Playing the flute and piano is something cool for him to do, but that doesn’t translate into u deciding to make projects with it

 

[Carl Tethers]

Jazz is serious shyt. Not surprised at this response

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I haven't seen this degree of written hatred in the jazz world since I stumbled across a few essays written by the late jazz critic Stanley Crouch who was infamous for shytting on people relentlessly

Stanley had other issues

Who expects a piano album from a guy who doesn't play piano to be good in the first place???

 

[Phantom Dreamer]

now this is hilarious. B High is probably the most chill radio/podcast nikka ever, never says a bad word about anyone, and is a confirmed 3K stan.

 

[YoungSimpson]

Mfs are mad and jealous. Dre literally comes out and says hey im playing the piano and the flute just hitting keys and blowing in this mf randomly not trying to hit actual notes to make a conventional song or melody. People are like cool we want to hear it. Mfs mad people would rather hear Dre fart on a mic than their classically trained bullshyt. Dre has a following and people will come check him out whatever he chooses to do. Instead of complaining that people fukk with him build your brand/following.

It’s disrespectful to actual musicians that highly respect their craft. The same way 3000 would hate for someone to disrespect their craft of MC.

I wish people cared more about this but they really don’t. You get called all kinds of haters and old heads for calling out wack rap. Thats why it’s hilarious that people even care about this shyt.

 

[T-K-G]

It is arrogance and i can see why hes mad

Andre is a look at me motherfukker if i ever saw one

Guy says he wants to get away from spotlight

Yet playing flute in street like a homeless vagrant.

Releases an album of sketches he made on his iphone… but wont rap cause “hes too old”. When his style was never in style, got on for being mature. Now would be the time. But no. Because he knows if its wack his aura will suffer. Yet does this shyt because he knows its a safe bet to look artsy.

Hes too old to not know he looks ridicukous. Everytbing with him is a show. Makes an album of pianos and goes to met gala with piano on his back and releases it same day. Literally demo one offs he made in 20 min. Its a slap in the face to people who work everyday at skills to be whi they are rhat he gets to just walk into that world and be a star.

Hes cosplaying as a “artist”

It’s disrespectful to actual musicians that highly respect their craft. The same way 3000 would hate for someone to disrespect their craft of MC.

Saying it's bad is fine but acting like he's being an a$$hole or disrespecting other people is the most obnoxious shyt I've read in a while from him and yall



So you're not allowed to make anything unless you in the top 5% otherwise you're disrespecting people? He didn't force ANYONE to listen to it.

So outkast should've never made demos when they were still learning how to rap because it was disrespectful to rappers who were already better than them? This logic makes no damn sense


Ain't no way you nikkas who feel like this ever made a damn thing in your lives, if you did you'd know NOBODY starts off immediately amazing at something and telling someone they can't put their stuff out because they aren't complete masters at it yet is nonsense and art was NEVER like that, y'all tryna carry his rap expectations over to him playing instruments and it doesn't make any sense, y'all should've never held this projects even remotely to the same standards you would a rap project from him.

By that logic if any of y'all do make art you wouldn't be allowed to put it out because y'all ain't masters and have no accolades to back up your prowess at that level. Nonsense.

Y'all just hate that he's doing what he wants and gets more attention from it, but he's not the one causing that, y'all are, just ignore his instrumental stuff the same way Kanye is being ignored right now, it's that simple dude is learning how to play instruments and already told y'all this is what he wants to do, how can y'all be so bitter

 

[Doobie Doo]

Were those Outkast demos publicly released as is to the general public for profit? Was he walking around ATL riding the MARTA with his nikkas in the hood promoting his Outkast demos?

Dude has been having concerts with this flute album and probably will do the same with this piano one. This is just bad artistry on display. Either he is a true artist or just an entertainer. He has always positioned himself as an artist, so yes he is held to them standard and should respect the musicians craft.

B High is one of the better hip hop radio/podcasters out here

 

[Miggs]

So he plays the piano like my 2 yr old and packaged it as "my emotions when touching things"

An artist has to create. I don't much care about the outside criticism. You like it, you don-t like it.

An artist has to create. I'm glad he has the freedom to do so in the way he desires.

Create and be free

Nah we have call trash TRASH tho,not everything can be deemed art and deserve artistic merit and freedom.

You can take a shyt after messican food that dont make you an artiste being creative and free....
