André 3000 has explained why he has no plans to rap again in the future.It comes after LL COOL J expressed his disappointment at the OutKast man’s recent solo project ‘New Blue Sun’, which is dominated by an ambient flute.“Let’s not lie to ourselves: I don’t wanna hear him do the flute,” said COOL J. “You wanna hear me do a violin?

You might not wanna hear me do shit, but do you wanna hear me do a violin?”“I wanna hear him get with Big Boi, I want them to make an OutKast [album] or to do a solo album.

Every time he does a verse, it’s enough material for an album! He’s so gifted. So it’s like, ‘Come on, B. Not the flute.’ That man needs to know the truth.”André 3000 LL Cool J back-and-forth pic.twitter.com/fnFbiNU5bM— T.Vickz (@TVickz) July 15, 2024He also said he disagreed with the notion that older artists don’t have anything to rap about.COOL J added: “When you were 14, you weren’t rapping about pubescent growth spurts.

So, why you have to get older and talk about prostate? With all due respect, I disagree with that because he has it in him.”The OutKast rapper responded by reiterating why he is not confident at the moment when it comes to making a full-fledged rap album.“To me, I feel like if it’s in you – ’cause I got homies my age and older than me that still rap – so if it’s in you, you should rap until you die.
