André 3000's surprise album '7 Piano Sketches' received harsh criticism from avant-jazz composer Matthew Shipp, who labeled it "complete and utter crap" on social media. Shipp condemned the project for lacking respect for musical discipline, arguing that its release is undeserved given 3000's fame. In response, André 3000 revealed that he never intended to publish the sketches, highlighting his casual relationship with music as he isn't formally trained and simply enjoys the sound of playing. The tracks were made over a decade ago and reflect a personal rather than a commercial intention.
"I think it is complete and utter crap -horrific-god awful insipidly wretched nothing. ... I could go into detail about why each cut is stillborn -but why bother..."
"it is depressing that this garbage will get any attention because he has a name and fame."
