Do everybody here a favor and keep your warped ass political views outta this section of the forum.

This was posted on my forum and I thought It was a interesting look at Andre 3000's album
--- Quote ---It's a concept album about music and hiphop and his fear of even doing the album. The beginning is about his running from his love. Cupid Valentino understands though you see he used to be a bad boy...
Hell, Andre might've just sung on it just to make fun of the rap game's current state.
I really don't want to ruin it for you. But 3000 is a muthafuggin genius dog I swear.
The God interlude.
into happy valentine's day, the day when you share your gifts of love to those you love.
into Where are my panties, when his prayers are answered and he finds himself in bed with music, and starts denying his affinity towards expressing his love for music...Stay cool ice cold. At first you listen and you think that he's talking about a bad ass bitch who might be the one. But it's REALLY him discovering that being creative with music who might be the one.
Prototype, he discusses this further. he also talks about going to the movies with music, doing something he knows she'll like. (The upcoming MTV musical) AT 2:56 seconds into the track you hear, "and...ACTION!!" and then you hear a reel rolling. I first thought this was unintentional. But you realize he's making a movie with the music. Taking her to the matinee.
She Lives iN my Lap. So fuggin genius. I refuse to give away what this track is about. But you'll pickit up easily. A man and woman's creative juices lie within their pelvis. He revisits this idea at Vibrate.
"She and all her friends, go out dressed to win...
Make me want you
Make me miss you
Make me wonder where you are then forget you
girl remind me just who we are.
We're so close, but yet so far."
Peep game.
At the end the last thing he says on this song is "gave me courage one day."
Hey Ya! Parody. BRILLIANT!!!!!! Infectious!!! and when you stop singing the hook like the bafoon Andre is making a mockery of (mindless fans) you can listen to the song, and see it's about hiphop. Which is why I'm staying up hoping to catch the video, because if he's grinning in it like they say, man, I'ma fall out.
Roses see the original message.
Bentley Farnsworth. Parody on the modern materialistic emcee that doesn't even know how he's doing. But even HE knows what a lady like hiphop looks like.
Behold A Lady About Hiphop I think, 3:50- seconds into the song there's something that supports this. I'm sleepy but I forgot.
Pink & Blue a song about the older lady that 3000 wants to help get her groove back. FUNK. He even let's you know his inadequacies as a songwriter on this track. "Got me talking like a baby." Basically trying to figure out how to bring back funk & save it. I promise you'll have young fun.
Love In War. About hiphop and how music shouldn't be used to describe death and destruction. Very surface level a track.
She's Alive. I'll leave for you to decode, but the focus of this song isn't JUST about single moms. This is probably the only song that strays from the album's theme.
Dracula's Wedding. Dead vampire leeching offa music meets his match. The very thing he's scared shitless of. And she's trying to build his confidence in her. she won't kill him. In fact, she makes good peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She feeds him what he needs.
Take off your cool about 3000 letting go of his fears of becoming a musician and how it might ruin his career. Notice the difference in phrasing after Norah beckons him to expose himself....Everything just becomes lighter and airier. Then andre joins in the singing.
Vibrate. Listen hard. That's all I'ma say.
A Life in the Day of Benjamin Andre.
The woman is music. Nuff said. She is a life compared to his day. She'll live without him as she has before him. The baby that she had with that nigga who left her was Southern playalistic, and Andre was daddy...That rabbit analogy is still over my head though.
But don't believe me listen for yourself.

Your a Persian who doesn't know anything about yourself or your culture. American culture has superimposed itself onto you so much so, that taken on all the characteristics of your own oppressor.

How would you know what real Muslims think? First of all. Your a hypocrite. The Prophet (saws) is reported to have said that a hypocrite is one who consistently stays away from performing the fajr prayer. If I called the mosque in your area, would they have even seen you once for fajr prayer? Would they have even seen you at all? Have you ever even read the Qur'an? Not likely!
You already told me you don't participate in the Ramaddan. That's a primary, mandatory, pillar of Islam that you have consistently failed to perform!
And you say I don't know you? That's right. But if I don't know you, then how do you know me? Or how do you know Trauma? Or how do you know that we are exactly alike? Your a hypocrite. You started this. Your as far from real as they come.
My people are Muslims. My people aren't of any race. They are Muslims. Period.
ZILLA THA GOODFELLA:
OK...explain 2 me exactly why I'm not real??
Yes, I waz born into a Muslim family...but did U ever stop 2 think why I don't pray Islamic style 20 times a day? cuzz I don't believe I need 2 do that, I could care-less what a Prophit has written down in tha Quran...simple...me and U my friend are from EXACT opposite places...I don't need to go to Mosque 2 have a relationship with god...I don't need 2 pray in arabic...Ur just another fanatic book smart Muslim...I know yur kind, and I HATE yur kind...simple & plain...Ur worse than a racist...you've changed cuzz U been brain-washed in tha finest form...and U will never really enjoy life...Being a White Muslim is all coo, my boy is a White Muslim...he down as fuck...but being a Johnny Walker is another thing...
