Was this album supposed to be some kind of joke?I'm trying to come up with conspiracy theories to explain how wack this album is. I think that Andre3000 retired. Then L.A. Ried told him, "Just throw together 19 songs of ANYTHING, trust me, I can make it a hit."There isn't one tight song on the whole Andre disc.There is only one banger. That's the joint with Jay-Z on it. I don't like Jay-Z, but that track is bangin. Other than the one Jay-Z cut, it's all garbage.Was this supposed to be some kind of joke?
holy shit you guys are on some kinda drugs or something cuz this shit is FUCKING dope

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.
And Rod, I don't appreciate your comments linking me to Trauma. 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.
