3000’s
last
album,
New
Blue
Sun,
wasn’t
exactly
filled
with
rhymes
and
bars
as
it
was
with
notes
and
sounds.
While
his
day-ones
were
disappointed
in
his
new
choice
of
artistry,
the
man
himself
is
more
than
happy
with
the
new
road
he’s
chosen
to
follow.
In
a
recent
appearance
on
The
Late
Show
with
Stephen
Colbert,
the
OG
ATLien
explained
to
the
late
night
host
how
his
love
of
the
flute
came
about
and
why
he
decided
to
take
his
newfound
hobby
to
the
next
level
and
make
an
entire
album
with
it.
“I
discovered
the
flute
and
I
started
playing
it
over
and
over
again
for
years,”
André
3000
told
Colbert.
“And
I
felt
like
it
would
be
great
to
share
it
so
it
kinda
came
in
a
natural
way.”
After
Colbert
interjected
that
he
loved
the
flute
because
he
felt
like
it
sounded
like
a
human
voice
to
him,
André
agreed
saying,
“Yes!
That’s
why
I
love
it.
It’s
the
closest
thing
to
singing…
Like,
vibrato
is
basically
a
human
kinda
thing…
And
you’re
actually
hearing
a
human’s
wind.
So
on
other
instruments
you
don’t
hear
it.”
Well,
if
Kenny
G
can
make
a
living
off
of
flute
albums,
why
can’t
André
3000?
The
man
said
he
has
a
pretty
steep
flute
collection
so
y’all
can
expect
a
lot
more
flute
songs
coming
in
the
future
regardless
of
how
y’all
feel.
After
the
interview
3
Stacks
took
to
the
stage
to
perform
“That
Night
in
Hawaii
When
I
Turned
into
a
Panther…”
and
showed
everyone
he’s
just
as
talented
with
a
flute
in
his
hand
as
he
is
with
the
mic.
And
we
ain’t
mad
at
the
homie
one
bit.
Check
out
the
interview
and
performance

Let
us
know
if
you’re
rocking
with
this
side
of
André
3000
or
if
he
should
go
back
to
rapping
in
