Yes, we heard about André 3000 secretly taking part in the enduring flute accompaniment current on Future and Metro Boomin’s hit single “Mask Off.”
Too unhealthy it’s all BS! Well, it’s extra of an ill-received joke somewhat than a bold-faced lie. Even although it got here straight from the horse’s mouth, Young Metro was actually playing around when he advised followers that Three Stacks is taking part in the flute on he and Future’s file. For these unfamiliar with the pattern that seems on “Mask Off” the file, it was launched in 1978 by a gentleman named Tommy Butler. It’s known as the “Prison Song” and it appeared in Butler’s musical Selma.

All jokes apart, despite the fact that Metro Boomin has but to recruit the flute stylings of the Outkast legend for one among his grandiose productions, he’s nonetheless the G.O.A.T. of this era. As if his discography wasn’t proof sufficient, his current stay efficiency with a 43-piece orchestra for Red Bull’s Symphonic collection ought to suffice as proof. And despite the fact that Three Stacks wasn’t part of Metro’s unique efficiency, he didn’t should be contemplating the warmth he introduced on his personal. Trust me, I used to be in attendance and blown away by his set, which was practically an hour-and-a-half lengthy in its entirety.
Armed with 30 songs, particularly composed to include the aforementioned orchestra, Metro confirmed out and reminded us why Future will shoot you if you happen to’re not trusted by the producer. In truth, since we simply talked about the Freeband Gang General, you’d assume that Metro Boomin’s crutch is Future the way in which the present, which happened on October 26, is structured from the entrance finish.
But then the way in which he pulls off this mythically loopy run by a number of initiatives resembling Travis Scott’s Days Before The Rodeo proves the precise reverse. Case and level, bro determined to drag the f###ing Spider-Man soundtrack out of his again pocket and convey Swae Lee and NAV onstage prefer it was nothing.
Then, he proceeded to remind us all that Offset must do one other album with Metro Boomin as a result of no matter he’s doing proper now ain’t hitting practically as laborious as “Ric Flair Drip” nonetheless is. And I about shed a tear as I stated RIP to Takeoff as a result of I swear to God I assumed the tough was gonna blow off the b#### when he did “Bad & Bougie.”
Not to say a few of the most turnt manufacturing this era has witness was offered to 21 Savage, courtesy of Metro. And it positively was evident as he ran by data resembling “No Heart” with a military of string devices buzzing to his each command. By like midway by the present, it’s like I noticed “WTF,” this man’s sound padded out all the ’10s period by the rise and fall of SoundCloud rap.
By the top of the present, you merely notice that rattling close to any artist paired up with Metro is a match made in heaven. Nah, for actual, as a result of the place the f### is Big Sean whenever you want him? The whole crowd LITERALLY sang “Bounce Back” phrase for phrase when Metro Boomin dropped it. Kanye West was even confirmed main love throughout a second of resurgence reassured with Metro Boomin’s co-sign of “Waves.” I walked out of Dolby Digital Theater with little doubt in my thoughts that Metro is THE high man and was by no means the 2 or the three.
But hey, don’t take my phrase for it. Check out the total efficiency under and I’ll be prepared to wager my pinky towards one million you possibly can’t make it by the total set with out catching a vibe in an actual approach.
