When and why exactly did Andre 3000 end up anywhere close to the greats ?!?

[t_m_a_c_f_a_n73088]

ahh we get it "southern great" = mid tier nyc rapper.... the further south u go, the lower the iq and the higher the homo level

yea because NYC is spitting out so many hot rappers right now. Being that k.r.i.t, cole, kendrick, jay elec, etc. are all from NYC............

Dudes so so overrated, he bttr than,cube, scarface, rakim, kweli, meth,

nd maybe wayne, nd raekwon, but he def aint bttr than da rest of them dudes, wtf has he done?

[mryounggun]

ok, storytelling and punchlines. give me examples, especially for punchlines better than the ones of big l or jadakiss.

PUNCHLINES:

-They got me out here Brett Favre-ing/tryna see if I still go it

-My soliloquy may be hard for some to swallow/but so is cod liver oil/so you went behind my back like pluto when he cut up Olive Oil

-Outkast with a K yeah them niggas are hard/harder than a nigga tryin to impress God

-Me and everything around me is unstable like Chernobyl

STORYTELLING (You're kidding, right)

-Da Art Of Storytelling 1 (which is a top 5 story telling song)

-Da Art Of Storytelling 4

-You (Remix)

-Throw Some D's (remix)

Again, I could go on. But like my man said, I get the feeling you're trolling at this point. Lol. I could be wrong.

 

[hh1234]

honestly the only place i have ever heard of him being so great is online.not saying he aint nice or nothing but online is where i hear this at.

 

[mryounggun]

When niggas start with the rap regionalism I gracefully bow out. SMH.

 

[idoitforhiphop10]

don't entertain dude. i seen him post, he's a troll ya.

 

[ShencotheMC]

I think dude is overrated and that Big Boi is equal if not better than 3 stacks, but with that said dude is a great mc. He just became one of the greats when he decided to go on a feature tear that one year.

 

[mryounggun]

My man, u trying build a case for dis nigga bein nice, nd dis is da best u cud come wit? Lol, u shud do stand up my nigga , u a funny dude, but like u sed, i hope u forgot most a his shit cuz dem shits def wasn't it crackin..

Falsified !

 

[yroholla]

If you think of the top 5 most naturally gifted mcs ever hes up there...dude is an original...

smh

dudes a good rapper...but fuck outta here with that

 

[Rey Negro]

Name me 10 rappers better than andre. Dude is unique, theres no one like him. He has been a part of two undeniable classics and you can really argue a third. He's ALWAYS the best rapper on all his features, he can spit about hood shit, club shit, life shit, conscious shit, and anything else you can think of. My question to you is what CAN'T Andre do....

There aren't 10 MC's to ever touch a mic that are nicer than Dre. That prolly had something to do with it.

well....lets see

1. Sean Carter

2. Christopher Wallace

3. Marshall Mathers

4. Nasir Jones

5. William Michael Griffin

6. Nathaniel Wilson

7. Lesane Parish Crooks

8. Oshea Jackson

9. Brad Jordan

10. Earl Simmons

All are nicer to me. It's not close. Especially when comparing their primes.

 

[ShencotheMC]

Falsified !

So Big Boi ain't up to par with 3 stacks? lol ok

 

[hnic1978]

aiight for all u dudes that thinks he's overrated or hes not that good, show me some shit i came weak on??? the nigga kills EVERYTHING he steps on whether its his or somebody else's yes he's top 10 easy

Dont worry I'll wait.....If we talking music, hes undeniably Hall Of Fame...

He has nothing on his own that can compare to the heavyweights of hip hop...

Yall are taking a Paul Pierce-Ray Allen-Kevin Garnett ass nigga and trying to put him in the same ring as Kobe Bryant...

 

[mryounggun]

well....lets see

1. Sean Carter
2. Christopher Wallace
3. Marshall Mathers
4. Nasir Jones
5. William Michael Griffin

10. Earl Simmons

That's actually a pretty respectable list. I don't agree with half of it, obviously. But it's respectable. We can agree to disagree. Also, props for having G Rap on your shit. A lot of niggas forget about him.

 

[hnic1978]

well....lets see

1. Sean Carter Jay-Z
2. Christopher Wallace Biggie
3. Marshall Mathers Em
4. Nasir Jones Nas
5. William Michael Griffin Who??
6. Nathaniel Wilson Who again
7. Lesane Parish Crooks Who to the third power
8. Oshea Jackson Ice Cube
9. Brad Jordan Scarface
10. Earl Simmons DMX

All are nicer to me. It's not close. Especially when comparing their primes.

I don't think DMX is better than 3 stacks at all

 

[mryounggun]

I don't think DMX is better than 3 stacks at all

William Michael Griffin = Rakim
Nate Wilson = Kool G Rap
Lseane Parish Crooks = Pac

 

[Stew]

I think dude is overrated and that Big Boi is equal if not better than 3 stacks, but with that said dude is a great mc. He just became one of the greats when he decided to go on a feature tear that one year.

smmfh at some of the shit going on in this thread.

 

[Rey Negro]

I don't think DMX is better than 3 stacks at all

Dre's more wittier. a better lyricist than DMX. But so are a few niggas on the IC...so ehh..

DMX's catalogue >>>>>>>>>>>> Andre 3000's life.

Comparing 98-2001 DMX to 95-99 Andre 3000 is like comparing a rabid Wolf to a Golden Retriever...
