can we please talk about how fucking cool andré 3000 is. he is kind, openly and proudly weird, an absolute sweetheart and the most humble person you could find. he has been one of the most profitable and famous rappers of all time, both with outkast and as a feat artist, then realized being in front of people scared him and got diagnosed with social anxiety and hypersensitivity disorder. his solution? retire from the public for almost 20 years and not drop anything except some dope feats, only to come back in 2023, where he is now a grown man, taking the fact he looks less recognizeable to his advantage and starting to play the flute in the streets to entertain others and detox himself from the fame, and releases two albums, one, a 1h 27m long record of him playing various wind instruments, the others, a 16m long mixtape of some piano drabbles he recorded on his iphone. there is a lot more to say about this absolute unit but these were some of the things he did i liked the most. this man is my favorite person ever and i wish i can be as carefree as he is now when i will grow up.
