Last year, soon after the rap veteran announced his instrumental LP, Questlove took to social media to offer his thoughts on the “next level” tracklist and stir up anticipation for it.
“I am no stranger to the ‘departure album’ […] albums the complete opposite of what the artist is known for,” he wrote on Instagram. “I knew this 3000 jawn was a left turn but I didn’t know it’s the RIGHT left turn.”
Referring to the new record as “good medicine,” he added: “I always said ‘one day imma make the ambient record I’d love to sleep and dream to’ (btw, watching violent shit/sleeping to news/sleeping in stressful environment takes years off your life — so this is why I invest heavy in stuff like this.)”
Pick up the pieces! The Return of HustleMan Nationwide Tour
Ain’t nobody going to watch man play a flute unless you’re a fucking fruit cake. Cut the fairy shit and get back to rap. Mans was a fucking icon and turned it all in to blow a wind pipe… The fuck.
the man been on tour ALL year. what you talking about?
This tour going to break records. I hope he plays ‘ Ants to You, Gods to Who?’ The jabs at the industry on it were savage when he went toot toot…toot toot
I’m glad Andre is in a good head space, but hard pass on this tour.
man playin opera houses selling em out. cant be mad at that its not 94 no mo thats fo sho
The funny thing about it is he’s not even a ‘good’ flute player. It sounds like the 8 year old kid next door practicing his school-issued recorder. Like, what is the crowd supposed to do? Sit there in awe? You can’t move to it. You can nod your head to it. You can recite lyrics to it. You’re supposed to just sit there in awe while this man plays a flute into a microphone? C’mon…
