Andre 3000 Shatters Billboard Record with Mesmerizing Flute Performance

Andre 3000's new record may not please all fans, as it's not a rap song. However, credit is due to the artist. Known for his work as a solo act and as part of Outkast, he has achieved a Billboard record for the longest song to ever make it onto the Billboard Hot 100.

Andre 3000's flute solo also has a lengthy title: "I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a Rap Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time." The 12 minute and 20 second track debuted at No. 90 and is now the longest-running song to have ever hit the chart, surpassing Tool's "Fear Inoculum," which was 10:21 in length, according to Billboard.

Andre 3000, now 48, hinted that he may no longer fit in the hip-hop scene. However, his audience has rejected this idea and shown support for his new music. His latest album "New Blue Sun," which is purely instrumental, has reached the top spot on the New Age Albums chart.
