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

[ShencotheMC]

aye skipper quit living through these IC post's and get that career off the stoop ....

smh at this nigga calling his stoop the "throne" .... nigga is awkward and delusional ....

Ayo, but on the real though I'm about to fuck this chick but I ain't got no lube on me. Can you tell me which brand of peanut oil would be the best for maximum slickness? You know ya boy be trynna hit the dougie in that pussy.

LOLOL aint nothing wrong with having him in your top 5 but i cant stand wen niggas come into the barbershop & start talkin that mess of how 3k is the Greatest of All Time n shit SMH.... like the other day when that Beyonce party record came on these 2 fools were praying to God that Andre was GOAT material. i felt disgusted LOLOL almost fucked had my barber fuck up my hairline being pissed off LOL.

That nigga got no album, never dominated an era, aint revolutionize nuffin but he's close to being great ? iunooooo faaaaaaam..... he need to do more in order to get that title.

Man saying 3000 is GOAT is not popular. This thread belongs to Lil Wayne

 

[Rey Negro]

nigga I dont give a damn if I cited mixtape verses it is what it is .... toe to toe the nigga is a animal on the mic and there is no denying that ..

u think because them niggas put their blood sweat and years into solo efforts that it makes them nicer ? LoL .

so is Joe Budden. so is Royce. so is AZ.

you think that means i should go around saying AZ is as great as 2pac.

Hip Hop ain't just about hot verses. It's about the ability to craft a song. a record. Any hot song you post from Andre 3000, I can obliterate it with something from Pac or Cube. I understand everyone has their right of opinion but, that authoritative tone is premature for a rapper like 3000.

 

[Gooner]

look bro you asked now you know....3000 is a hip-hop great aint no way around it......he got better skills than some cats with "classics"

these niggas are trolling...how u need convincing that 3 stacks is great? foh

 

[boss jay]

if you didn't say that, then disregard it.

point is...Dre never showed he could stand alone and do this rap shit album after album. hit after hit.

so how could you fix your mouth to compare him to niggas who did?

So if thats the case Hip Hop is all about I right...UGK, 8 Ball and MJG, Daz and Kurupt, NWA (before solos), Dayton Family, Goodie Mob, Geto Boys, Public Enemy members dont deserve to be listed with greats b/c they were groups? The duckness of your posts homie is on 150 right now...just click the links people posted in this thread dawg.

"Throw up your Daisy Dukes I'm Hazzard-ous to all you Boss Hoggs"

"Flows that ain't hip-hop, you find that shit in the gift shop"

"Holding on to memories like roller coaster handle bars"

"record companies act like pimps

Gettin paid off what we made when we the ones that's fly like blimps

But ain't no Goodyear, I tell it like it is so I'm like look here"

"I bet you never heard of a playa with no game

Told the truth to get what I want but shot it with no shame

Take this music dead serious while others entertain

I see they makin they paper so I guess I can't complain...

or can I? I feel they disrespectin the whole thang

Them hooks like sellin dope to black folks

And I choke when the food they serve ain't tastin right

My stomach can't digest it even when I bless it"

"I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game

To stimulate then activate the left and right brain

Said baby boy you only funky as your last cut

You focus on the past your ass'll be a has what

Thats one to live by or either that one to die to

I try to just throw it at you determine your own adventure"

"Synthesizer, microwave me

Give me a drug so I can make seven babies

Pump my breasts up, can you suck the fat up

Please make my life appear

like ain't no such thing as bad luck

My, nose ain't right

Like I need a new one

Just take your pick, a yellow red

A black or a blue one

Virtual reality, virtual, BULLSHIT

Synthesizer preachers can reach you

up in the pulpit

Who a bitch?

Give me my gat so I can smoke this nigga

Tell his mamma not to cry

because they can clone him quicker

than it took his daddy to make him

Niggaz bitin verbatim

Thought provokin records radio never played dem

Instant, quick grits, new, improved

Hurry hurry, rush rush, world on the move

Marijuana illegal but cigarettes cool

I might LOOK kinda funny but I ain't no fool"

"Bill Gates don't dangle diamonds in the face

of peasants when he Microsoft'n in the place"

Every verse on this song.....

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

so 3000 dont count cuz he was in a group?

even tho he still managed to write standout verses, and have a part in classic songs/albums..

ok i got u...

 

[will grimey]

shenco sounding weak screaming big boi was nicer when big boi admitted to 3k writing his shit ....

link??????

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

people in the reason have no concept of precedents. we make up hip hop legality as we go.

So putting out multiple multi plat group albums is = to a mixtape rapper now??
So putting out multiple critically acclaimed group albums is = to a mixtape rapper now??
So categorically dominating verse after verse after verse for nearly 20 years is = to a mixtape rapper now??

........ This is why I love the IC tho .... Great source of illogical comedic genius

 

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

whether in a group or not strictly as a lyricist ill take 3000 or big boi over cube or dmx anyday..

 

[The 3mcee]

3 stacks is in my top 15 all time and I can't believe some of the folks on here who want to diss this guy

for one....Chuck D was the only rapper in Public Enemy lol

for two....Scarface has dropped multiple records after Geto Boys and he wrote for the Bushwick Bill & Willy D.

for three....stop making addition and subtraction into integral calculus. no one cares if you were in a group. but to get respect like the other stars get respect, you got to stand on your own at least once. why you think out of every group, across every genre of music, each musician has did exactly what i typed eventually.........because sharing the mic aint the same as holding it yourself.

I agree that shit makes no damn sense. If anything he gets more points because he stood out in the group and always came correct on features. Like many have stated the guy was good at making rhymes about anything and didn't box himself into one specific subject matter.

Outkast is one of hip hop's greatest groups. and Andre 3000 was a part of that.

 

[idoitforhiphop10]

i don't agree wit this thread at all, but let me ask ya a question, why is it all rite to say that wu tang clan and mobb deep is overrated, but wen somebody says outkast is overrated, there's an uproar?

Okay I feel where you are coming from. So what do you think about a lot of these emcees or rappers today that has like features on damn near every song? Does that diminish how good they are in your eyes? It should going by what you have stated.

SMH you completely dismissing the initial question over and over...So you think those groups dont deserve to be up there with the greats...its crazy that these "greats" been on record and interviews calling 3000 one of the dopest to do it...I quit dawg you can have it homie lol...Next thread...I thought you were joking at first,but the more I see you reply, I notice that you are really serious...lo

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

He's top 20, maybe 15.
