I work in retail in NYC and I met him helping him in my store….
He was one of the nicest most humble customers Ive ever helped (famous or not) . Wish him all the best, forever.

In appearance and manner, these two men could not be more different: the energetic, buttoned-down talk show host and the laid-back artist who literally goes where the wind blows him. Yet they had a real conversation about his craft. I truly enjoyed it!

[waynemurray]

He's been saying it for 20 years: "Y'all don't really hear me, Y'all just wanna dance"

[elegantdisarray]

As someone who grew up with Outkast on the radio, and played flute in Junior High, this makes me so nostalgic and happy. I love that as time goes on, more and more artists are feeling comfortable putting out the music they want to, instead of always catering to the record companies demands. That's how the real art is made. I'm so excited to listen to this album now 💜

[NicoRaimont]

Stephen and his team ask wonderful questions in this interview. They really let Andre shine as a guest.

[Optimistichumanist]

Andre is a living legend. So laid back, so real and so creative.

[andrejohnson]

Andre is such an original. Walked up there, holding a flute, just being himself. Love him. Havent heard the album yet.

[RedGazelle]

I love that the band played Coltrane’s Love Supreme for Andre’s entrance. Wish they could have kept going!

6:40 "I have two holes, so it's love the impromptu handling of Andre 3000 along with expressing his art in music without Lyrics. I can listen to this man all day

[Goatchild]

0:23 That A Love Supreme/Acknowledgement intro for André 3000 was perfect

[emilyt]

I respect André’s statement about it sounds so great without words…our world is so word heavy these days so I’m happy to have a passionate instrumental album ❤

[JAYJR]

That that moment between him and the band @ 5:39 is the coolest ISH I've ever seen on late night TV .

[ericthompson]

I love hearing other artists describe their process. And this is a very thoughtful man.

[isaacbates]

Love Andre 3000. He's the GOAT. Also have to show Colbert some love for giving Andre the chance to articulate his ideas despite some brief moments of thoughtful dead air. Great clip.

[brianhlp]

They really knocked it out the park with this one. appreciate the rare look at Andre

[vanessawhitneypro]

04:30 - 06:06 ... His explanation of "where the wind blew him" in his music... And, the nod to fellow musicians... Just beautiful... Go, Andre!

[neok]

He is an amazing artist and I’m honoured to have lived in the same time to appreciate him raw

[awake]

I will always show up for both individuals of Outkast. It's so good to see André, seems like he is feeling the creative call again.

[ahmedsirour]

0:24 That was a great rendition of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" for walk-on music, and especially in New Orleans style...would love to hear a full version of that!

[qiyamahl]

I love and appreciate everything about this man
