Andre 3000’s new album is chill, peaceful, exactly what he wanted to do. No, he is not master musician, I was not expecting that, nor was I expecting him to rap, sing. How many people even have courage to be free, to be all of who we are, are not stuck in past, forever forever?

Going back to Janet Jackson, her roots, & authenticity - this is yet another example of her thanking her own culture & nodding to other ethnic cultures through dance & fashion. No other pop/r&b artist was doing it quite like this.
