HipHopDX Breakdown - Andre 3000: The Greatest Rapper Of All Time

[JonnyRoccIT]

I HATE ALL YOU NIGGAS

 

[achewon87]

Black Thought doesn't have any solo albums, but I'd consider him better than Andre 3000.

Then again, I prefer The Roots to Outkast.

So my point is Andre 3K isn't The Goat because Black Thought is better imo.

Thats just my opinion.

Name Black Thoughts top 5 verses. I'll challenge u

1. last verse on Universe @ War

2. Web

3. 75 Bars

4. 2nd and 3rd Verse in Boom (not because of the lyrics but because he sounds just like Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap. When this song came out I thought it was really Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap!!!)

And here's the number 5 verse, I'm not sure if its an actual song;

Harvard Freestyle

That shit took u a min huh? Lol

Word. Now listen to these

Any verse on Southernplayalistic

Any verse on ATLiens

Any verse on Aquemini

Any verse on Stankonia

Any random verse on somebody else's project

Nobody ever remembers Black Thoughts rhymes....fact. That's no disrespect to Black Thought, homie is a GREAT top 20 rapper so don't get it twisted.

I could have done the same thing and said, "any verse on Illadelph Halflife"

Find me a Black Thought verse as cold and exquisite as this....

"My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to ten

Meet the twin Andre Ben. welcome to the lion's den

Original skin many men comprehend

I extend myself so you go out and tell a friend

Sin all depends on what you believing in

Faith is what you make it that's the hardest shit since MC Ren

Alien can blend right on in wit' yo' kin

Look again 'cause I swear I spot one every now and then

It's happenin' again wish I could tell you when

Andre this is Andre y'all just gon' have to make amends"

Spoiler

Take stock in the soul, spit properly

That extended clip on my hip sits awkwardly

I'm diabolical, follicle triggers that I cock and squeeze

Sending shots to ancient Greece to pop Socrates

I bear arms like button-downs without the sleeves

Manic depressive and possessive like apostrophes

My psychiatrist waive the doctor fees

When I wave the pistol and say listen, quit watchin' me so I can breathe

National Association for the Advancement

Of drugs for performance enhancement

And it's tough taking so many chances

But I've been a bad seed from the womb, they call me ovary cancer

And I got an ugly heart, although I'm totally handsome

And I take the love of your life and hold her for ransom

And my tactical cam that never stood for any national anthems

Whats hood, I am the actual answer

And I'll prove it

Black attire, rapid fire, rapid eye movement

I'm from a species that is higher, I am not human

Extraterrestrial alien, a monster killer of conscience chillin'

In a barrel of lobster

Ex-Slave, sadomasochist, that gave the massa my ass to kiss

A dyin' breed, I'm the last of this

Black is as miraculous as Jesus of Nazareth

When I vocalize the crowd rise like Lazarus

It's the Rhode Scholar, my coat collar piss off PETA

Your hoes holla, he's on top of the bars

Meet a Mr. Globe Trotter in my Adidas

Pure cheetah, hoppin' out of this exotic European 4 seater

Hollerin' cheeba cheeba like I'm Parkside

Killin' is the dark side

Villain, I'm God, I'm Godzilla

Sometimes I'm Bob Dylan put blood on these tracks, for real

So, God-willin' you'll feel what I'm spillin'

Yeah, I never quit, I'm still syndicatin' up

Me and Pharoahe Monch, did it for the benefit of us

This is straight razor behavior, I never get enough

Get the picture, my militia gettin' ignorant as fuck

[The Recipe]

Why niggas love giving 3000 all the credit for Outkast discography. Like Big Boi ideas had nothing to do with the greatness of the group.

Since he dresses weird he is the "creative" of the group. Lmfao.

Don't diss Black thought to make Andre 3000 seem better. Both are incredible Emcee's

Fixed...

 

[Mr.LV]

Nas is better than Andre 3000

 

[AZTG]

3k dope and if hes yall number one, thats cool.

But, on a objective level, dont put him above Nas. Rapping on an extremely high level for over 25 years has got to mean something.

Why andre 3k hasnt released a solo? News stay coming out about how insecure he is with his shit and how he dont got no passion for rap, and how he dont got shit to rap about right?

And its been like that for 10+ years. My dude 3k a legend, one of the most skilled rappers to ever rap. But he ran out of shit to rap about 10 years in. Nas been rapping for 25 years and he still got shit to rap about. Thats the craziest shit about Nas to me. Like bruh how you dont run out of bars?

 

[InverseCulture]

Black Thought is a stellar MC. So is 3Stacks.

The production... incredible on both ends. The Dungeon Family assisted with more experimental sounds, however a jazz-rap band is nothing to sneeze at. I call draw on this one.

Is Andre 3000 the Greatest RAPPER of All Time.?

Not "Is Andre 3000 the Greatest Solo Hip Hop artist of all Time.?"

Even disregarding whether he has a solo album out or not we can also argue someone like Jay Electronica is the greatest rapper of all time too, no? Cos I've hardly heard anyone say Jay Elect wack.

Even if we do disregard him having a solo album or not I personally feel there's rappers better than him.

3k needs a personal body of music to claim GOAT by his fans. He's lyrically excellent in every ramifications but to be the best he needs a solo and not just impressive guest features...

I think we should take his features for what it is and judge him on everything he puts out because Even if he did...it won't be a full Hip Hop album because we all know Dre is very multi dimensional and experimental. Even Outkast albums were always mixed with Singing and many other Non-hip hop elements.

Which is why i wanted to focus on his Raps and Skills because we know he's capable of being the best and that's why he throws them occasional verses out to show niggas he can shit on everybody, he's just not really interested in proving it.

He just wants to do his own thing and make his Weird jammin ass experimenal music

 

[texas409]

real question though....why doesnt he have a solo album? I never thought about it til now

Occasional verses dont mean you cant shit on everybody, classic bodies of work like Illmatic, Black Album, MATW, GKMC show that when you drop the album of the year thats how you shit on everybody thats irrefutable. If he is so experimental why are you argueing so hard for his GOAT status as a rapper if he aint rapping most of the time?

Dre already won a GRAMMY for Album of the Year for two Solo projects Coupled together as One.

And actually he does rap Most of the time...i said he incorporates a lot of singing and other non hip hop elements into his music alot...not MOST of the time because if we went through his catalog and compared all the songs he rapped vs sung...it would be mostly Rapped period brah

When it mattered most, he choose hit pop songs over hiphop respect, now y'all want to cry over it...

Even Outkast albums were always mixed with Singing and many other Non-hip hop elements.

Which is why i wanted to focus on his Raps and Skills because we know he's capable of being the best and that's why he throws them occasional verses out to show niggas he can shit on everybody, he's just not really interested in proving it.

He just wants to do his own thing and make his Weird jammin ass experimenal music

Occasional verses dont mean you cant shit on everybody, classic bodies of work like Illmatic, Black Album, MATW, GKMC show that when you drop the album of the year thats how you shit on everybody thats irrefutable. If he is so experimental why are you argueing so hard for his GOAT status as a rapper if he aint rapping most of the time?

And actually he does rap Most of the time...i said he incorporates a lot of singing and other non hip hop elements into his music alot...not MOST of the time because if we went through his catalog and compared all the songs he rapped vs sung...it would be mostly Rapped period brah

Execpt on his solo...

When it mattered most, he choose hit pop songs over hiphop respect, now y'all want to cry over it...

Lol or maybe he already PROVED he could rap and didn't have to consider another group member on what type of music to make...plz tell me you understand that concept
