André 3000 spent years dodging questions about a new OutKast album, then released this: eighty-eight minutes of flute and ambient improvisation with not a single rap verse. The opening track is titled I Swear, I Really Wanted To Make A Rap Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time, which is both a joke and an honest explanation. He had been carrying woodwinds around the world for years, playing in airports and on sidewalks. This is what came out when he finally recorded.
