Many in the world of hip-hop offered commentary on Andre 3000’s latest musical offering—‘New Blue Sun.’ The album was a sharp turn from the Outkast member’s previous stylings, which found delivering profound verses, instead opting to play the flute. Now, Andre has addressed the new path he’s on during a show in Los Angeles. 

While at the Luna Luna art exhibit for a performance, Andre said, “‘How you just gon’ be rapping and then just get on stage playing f***ing flutes? Like, I didn’t plan to be the flute n****.”

From there, the artist said, “I didn’t plan to be that. It just kinda, like, it happened. When I started rapping, I didn’t know what it would be. It was just me and Big Boi at the crib watching rap videos.”

The Outkast member concluded by saying, “Then we was like, ‘Let’s try it.’ I know we have plans. I know we go to school. We have intentions, we plan for things but we all freestyling. We all making this s*** up as we go along. We have intentions but we don’t really know.”
