    He's been saying it for 20 years: "Y'all don't really hear me, Y'all just wanna dance"

    I work in retail in NYC and I met him helping him in my store…. He was one of the nicest most humble customers Ive ever helped (famous or not) . Wish him all the best, forever.
  • @annemulvihill691
    In appearance and manner, these two men could not be more different: the energetic, buttoned-down talk show host and the laid-back artist who literally goes where the wind blows him. Yet they had a real conversation about his craft. I truly enjoyed it!
  • 6:40 "I have two holes, so it's like.......PAUSE."🤣Gotta love the impromptu handling of Andre 3000 along with expressing his art in music without Lyrics. I can listen to this man all da

    As someone who grew up with Outkast on the radio, and played flute in Junior High, this makes me so nostalgic and happy. I love that as time goes on, more and more artists are feeling comfortable putting out the music they want to, instead of always catering to the record companies demands. That's how the real art is made. I'm so excited to listen to this album now 💜
  • @Goatchild90
    0:23 That A Love Supreme/Acknowledgement intro for André 3000 was perfect
  • @emilyt9966
    I respect André’s statement about it sounds so great without words…our world is so word heavy these days so I’m happy to have a passionate instrumental album ❤
  • @RedGazelle1367
    I love that the band played Coltrane’s Love Supreme for Andre’s entrance. Wish they could have kept going!
  • @andrejohnson6731
    Andre is such an original. Walked up there, holding a flute, just being himself. Love him. Havent heard the album yet.
  • @gallardosbull
    Andre is a living legend. So laid back, so real and so creative.
  • @BigDros
    I have no problem with him not doing any bars on his album just instrumental music 🎶 that's cool with me every artist evolves with their music
  • 04:30 - 06:06 ... His explanation of "where the wind blew him" in his music... And, the nod to fellow musicians... Just beautiful... Go, Andre!
  • @isaacbates8620
    Love Andre 3000. He's the GOAT. Also have to show Colbert some love for giving Andre the chance to articulate his ideas despite some brief moments of thoughtful dead air. Great clip.
  • @NicoRaimont
    Stephen and his team ask wonderful questions in this interview. They really let Andre shine as a guest.
  • Mister Grammy Got Guts, It’s nice to see someone stick on their own Value
  • @mo3scbrown765
    When he said "More than that".. Just bring alot of RESPECT FOR HIS WORK! And BRINGS A WARM FEELING FOR OUTKAST 💯✨
  • @dejacreacts4964
    3000 has always been in his own lane. One of the most original artists ever. Gipp from the Goodie Mob said he gave you some bars if you read the song titles .
