André 3000 Calls Himself The Lil B Of Jazz: 'It's Pure Feeling'

In a recent interview, André 3000 compared himself to rapper Lil B, saying that his approach to jazz is similar to Lil B's "based rap."

He explained that Lil B's music is often improvised and reactionary, which resonates with his own "punk spiritual jazz" style. André 3000 emphasized that his jazz is driven by pure feeling, not rigid structure, much like Lil B’s unstudied approach to hip-hop.
