André 3000 had fans excited for whatever music he planned to drop after announcing that he planned to release his debut solo album just a week before doing so.
According to Billboard, the OutKast artist’s song “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time” from his new LP New Blue Sun entered the Hot 100 at No. 90, becoming the longest-running song to have ever hit the chart.
The track, which has a run time of 12 minutes and 20 seconds, surpassed Tool’s “Fear Inoculum,” which was 10:21 in length and peaked at No. 93 in August 2019.
