Is Andre 3000 from 'ATLANTA' a better MC than Jay Z or Nas from New York ?

[1dopeboyinacadillac]

After hearing Andre's verse on 'Art of Story Telling 4'.. the verse from 'Everybody' with Fonsworth Bently - soaking in 'International Players Anthem' and then evaluating the whole OUTKAST catalogue... it has to be said that I dont think Jay and Nas have the brain power on a lyrical level to compete from a rhyme pattern perspective or have such a clever thought process.

I mean looking at the Art of Story Telling 4 verse...
Can you name a better effort combining flow, wit and substance from Jay or Esco recently ???

Who past or present is actually better than Andre Ben ?

[Monoblock]

I'm going to have to say yes. The man is on a whole nutha level at the moment.

[1991]

Why did you state their locations ?
And no, he will never see gnawsz and grey hova

[ptahblade07]

nope only people from the south try to claim that in the same way the ppl from the south tryin to pump lil wayne up as the best rapper alive but in real life nope

C/S he's good but come the **** on. hasnt rapped on a kast album(minus briefly on love below) in 7 years. how are you gonna compare a group ***** to dudes like nas and hov who have been holdin it down with solo albums for YEARS. plus he's monotone and sounds the same on every song. top 25 for sure though.

[atl legend]

3000 been spitting like a beast since Southernplayalistics. Its a shame 13yrs latter he just now getting recognized as a top artist

[Mr. Smoke Weed]

nas>andre
andre>hova
whyd you capitalize atlanta?

[W.I.Z.E.]

No...but Andre 3000 from 'New York' is a better MC than Jay Z and Nas from 'Atlanta'.

Let the hating begin- So now he is monotone and sounds the same on every song you mean like Nas

So now he hops on a few remixes with subpar rappers and is better than 2 inarguable top 10 rappers of all-time?(**** i say top 5), after years of singing nonetheless!

*****s gassin up everything he does now that he back to spittin.:dry:

[AZ I 'C' it]

what?

I swear...these dudes be talkin wreckelss. Dre' can be mentioned in any best rapper alive debate with anybody who's ever touched a mic. Regions have nothing to do with it.

Dre' is nasty. That Stroytellin Pt. 4 is off the hook.

[F 2 Tha L]

he's sick but ive never rated him that high.

no where near Jay and Nas IMO

Yal just now realizing what this man has been doing since he came in the game. I will give you this he doesnt have as much material as Jay Z and Nas because he is in a group and he did start that singing ****. But as far as just pure skills there aint nobody like Dre. Of course I am a little bais because I am from the A but at the same time I own every Nas cd and he is nice but if had a choice of the three I am going with 3000. 3000 has never spit a bad verse ever. He was in my top after Southernplayalistic

Its not about the few remixes..he's been doing it since 93, 94. Him taking the break, then coming back like he never missed a beat, is greatness. Listen to the music before you talk that nonsense.

In reality, It took Hov almost a year to give us the music we've expected from him. Now Im not saying Dre is better than Hov or Vice Versa..just stating facts.

[vodkai]

I didn't really like The Love Below either, but I can easily hear that he held that sh*t down! That's probably one of the best arguments to use in Dre's favor when you're talkin' about why he's the best. The fact that he's always experimenting, trying new styles and exploring other genres takes nothing away from Andre, it just adds extra points to his legacy.

...exactly. Most rappers are scared to step outside the little box they are pigeon-holed into....Dre definately takes chances and brings something different almost everytime. His diversity is something Nas and Jay can't match...they always have to play it safe. Same n!ggas that dogged out 50 Cent saying Curtis was nothing new are the same ones praising Jay-Z for going back to his same old hustler/drug rap shyt on AG.

3000 been that supreme being.

Face is arguable. Bun is great, but no. It's enough that you put 8ball over him, but you had the audacity to say lil cliff and Luda are better than Dre? You gotta be a little kid. Let me guess, you think Juelz Santana is a great rapper huh?

Your opinion is null and void. You have ZERO credibility making statements like this.

Prototype, she lives in my lap, spread and she's alive were all great songs. Nothing was wrong with Love Below.

[fundz]

How can he be better when he spends 90% of his time making love songs and picking out costumes for his latest outings?

[ValidPoint]

He's absolutely first-class indeed...
That verse is everything you called it.
But Nasir's catalog is out of this world...

[khrys_x]

I'm a huge Outkast fan...and I think Dre is the sh!t no doubt...but no, I can't put him above either Nas (the GOAT, IMO) or Jay...mainly because the depth of catalogs weigh heavily towards my decision, and Dre is automatically handicapped in that regard because he's part of a duo...Nas and Jay just flat out have more material over the course of their careers than Andre does...

[Mr.Sam]

Andre is barely better then Big Boi, and sometimes I wonder if he even is...

Cant argue with that fact that he doesnt have as much material.

i stand behind what i said lyrically t.i and luda are better than andre 3000 put up the lyricis ill prove my point

now andre is a better artists then them but you dont have to be a lil kid to give credit where credit is due. what you a old ass dude living in the past so anything that comes out now sucks and everything from 10 years ago is classic?

sorry i keep in touch with the times im not stuck in the 80's and 90's and if we just talking about straight lyrics there are other southern artists that trump dre and you insult the game even puttin him in a conversation next to jay and nas

[ptahblade07]

[Kingofkings]

late 2006 and 2007 all andres verses have been 5/5 so this short moment he has been better, but if we talking career jay-z is before him don't know about nas though both of them are in my top 5 spot #4 and #5..

[checkman]

so now andre doesn't have enough material and big boi is better than him?

Me and everything around me, is unstable like Chernobyl
Ready to go at any moment, jumpin like a pogo stick
Life never lived up to my expectations, so I accept the patience
Expect the worse but now I'm pacin, back and forth
Inside I'm melting like water on wicked witches
A monster truck done came and ran over my picket fences
I had the best of life in my clinches but monkey wrenches was thrown
Like chairs kings sit on, my prayers seem to long
I fall asleep before the endin, don't even get to say Amen
I hope He understand I be on bended knees
At times, I think I'm crazy, so I say forget it
Or maybe it's the devil infiltrating and like Riddick...Bowe

You living for the lotto never hit it, I met a critic
I made her **** her draws
She said she tought Hip Hop was only guns and alcohol
I said "Oh hell naw!" but yet it's that too
You can't discrimahate because you done read a book or 2
What if I looked at you in a microscope saw all the dirty organisms
Living in your closet would I stop and would I pause it "whoo"
To put that ***** in slower motion, got the potion and the antidote
And a quote for collision the decision
Is do you want to live or wanna exist
The game changes everyday so obsolete is the fist and marches
Speeches only reaches those who already know about it
This is how we go about it

Harder than a ***** trying to impress God

Any play the sweetest melody the street ever heard
Now *****es sucking on my nouns and I'm eating their verbs
Get full, and *****z, *****z,
pop, pop, lock, lock to the, to the beat, beat
As if pitbulls went out of style, made a vow to myself
If it's for the wealth i'll stop, well put i like this
It's like me selling some dope because my girlfriend wants to shop
Wrong reason, whatever the season, hey winter, spring, summer or fall
I dont stall, slow drag wit your brain against the wall
Yeah, ***** naw, we learn to the side don't fall
All y'all **** boys, tuck toys inside your pants
Just to pull it out, point it at the ground and make a ***** wanna dance
Now what that be for, you're on that reefer and on that Tupac
In front of them oooh wops, trying to show out, that's the hoe route
Talking loud talking bout that's gangsta ****


"I Can't Wait"

This is dedicated to the lover (to the lover)
In you... In you... In you
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no can't wait

[Verse 1: Andre 3000]
Leather in the summer, silk in the winter
This is such an art, where do I begin uh..
Used to sing tenor, in the church choir
Really I was flexin', but the girls they were fine
I'm the type of guy that notice subtle signs
When I cuddle mine, she ain't even tryin
To look sexy, but even if she was so what
Mother ****er grow up, don't mean to be so abrupt
But that lets me, know that she's a human being
And being human's hard, on the boulevard
Girl you got it bad, glad I'm not one
But yet you got it good, you are the hot one
But I'm Andre, Benjamin Andre to be exact
You hoped to meet a gentleman one day, well this is that
In fact, Dookie introduced at a show
About a year or so ago, I don't know, mind slips me
I'm in the southern states, you know where all the pimps be
Dressin all boogey and carryin' ugly cups
And yes you're getting booed if your **** does not get down
And yes you're getting sued by women who didn't get up
Out their seat on the bus, and feet shouldn't rust
And beat is a must, and we shouldn't lust
But we do, I'm laughin' at the calendars and clocks
Ascot to match the socks, what's in your +Speakerboxxx+
+Pink and Blue+, you're lolly gaggin, you're slow pokin
You got me open, you're playin wit me, darlin I'm not a toy
As if Anita Baker brings the joy, you're a kiner, the Tyner meanin the real McCoy
I can't wait..

Black Ice(Goodie Mob)
Still Standing

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ear drums, it was a beautiful day off in the neighborhood
Yellows and greens and blues and browns and greys, and hues, the ooze beneath dilapidated wood
Anything could explain but pertains to cocaine and sustain in rain
See summer rolls around *****s holla bout change
Then they steady move them keys like Bob James
Cause old man winter‘s arrived, the temperature dived, November just died, December’s alive
Thus it ain’t no typical rise, just individual’s way to bring home,
The bakin when bakin was all wrong, Makin it our own, takin me all wrong
We’ve all indulged in the bulge of those no no no’s, you ain’t solo
It’s even lower level you can go, take sun people put em in the land of snow


And to top it off...........

Thought Process(Goodie Mob)
Soul Food

The thought process...
Now as an Outkast I was born, wasn't warned of the harm
That would come to meet me like Met Life, but yet life
Done sent me through a lot of up's and down like it ain't nothing'
Like elevators but I ain't the one that's pushin' the buttons
I got off at the 13th floor, when they told me that it wasn't one
They said it skipped from 12 to 14
Still smoking, still drinking, no I'm sittin' on the Lincoln
4 A.M. thinkin' that in reality the world is like a ball full of playas
We trapped off in this maze with walls made of layers
And only prayers is the tightest game that you can have
The devil's takin' a swing that might explain the broken glass
But my crystal ball see the pistol fall to the wayside
Nobody would die in cops and robbers when we used to play right

Huh, the only thang we feared was Williams, Wayne
Never though about hittin' licks or slangin' caine
Didn't think I'd be the one to give in to abortion
Label me murder because my ass is scorchin'
Hot from the glock that sits under my seat
Yeah, it's real ****ed up that my floks come to get me
And it's like dat, yeah...and it's like dem!

I like Dre's _music_ better.

aren't yall tired of hearing talk about flippin crack? Or just wordplay for the sake of wordplay? Do jay and nas even surprise you anymore? same voice, flow, adlibs, story. with dre you're not really sure what to expect from the beat, sound, flow or lyrics other than what it wont be which is unoriginal. He's always reinvented himself or atleast attempted to. Doesn't latch onto a selling product and beat it to death like everyone else. he got the love for music over his love of success.

Just a grown mans opinion

We chicken nugget, we dip in the sauce like mop and bucket
Blue-collar scholars, who'll take your dollar and wipe my ass wit it
You living for the lotto never hit it, I met a critic
I made her **** her draws
She said she tought Hip Hop was only guns and alcohol
I said "Oh hell naw!" but yet it's that too
You can't discrimahate because you done read a book or 2
What if I looked at you in a microscope saw all the dirty organisms
Living in your closet would I stop and would I pause it "whoo"
To put that ***** in slower motion, got the potion and the antidote
And a quote for collision the decision
Is do you want to live or wanna exist
The game changes everyday so obsolete is the fist and marches
Speeches only reaches those who already know about it
This is how we go about it
Gangsta Sh!t

[Andre 3000]
Outkas wit a K, yeah them *****z are hard
Harder than a ***** trying to impress God
We'll pull your're whole deck, **** pulling your card
And still take my guitar and take a walk in the park
Any play the sweetest melody the street ever heard
Now *****es sucking on my nouns and I'm eating their verbs
Get full, and *****z, *****z,
pop, pop, lock, lock to the, to the beat, beat
As if pitbulls went out of style, made a vow to myself
If it's for the wealth i'll stop, well put i like this
It's like me selling some dope because my girlfriend wants to shop
Wrong reason, whatever the season, hey winter, spring, summer or fall
I dont stall, slow drag wit your brain against the wall
Yeah, ***** naw, we learn to the side don't fall
All y'all **** boys, tuck toys inside your pants
Just to pull it out, point it at the ground and make a ***** wanna dance
Now what that be for, you're on that reefer and on that Tupac
In front of them oooh wops, trying to show out, that's the hoe route
Talking loud talking bout that's gangsta ****
"I Can't Wait"
(feat. OutKast)
[Sleepy Brown]
This is dedicated to the lover (to the lover)
In you... In you... In you
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no can't wait
[Verse 1: Andre 3000]
Leather in the summer, silk in the winter
This is such an art, where do I begin uh..
Used to sing tenor, in the church choir
Really I was flexin', but the girls they were fine
I'm the type of guy that notice subtle signs
When I cuddle mine, she ain't even tryin
To look sexy, but even if she was so what
Mother ****er grow up, don't mean to be so abrupt
But that lets me, know that she's a human being
And being human's hard, on the boulevard
Girl you got it bad, glad I'm not one
But yet you got it good, you are the hot one
But I'm Andre, Benjamin Andre to be exact
You hoped to meet a gentleman one day, well this is that
In fact, Dookie introduced at a show
About a year or so ago, I don't know, mind slips me
I'm in the southern states, you know where all the pimps be
Dressin all boogey and carryin' ugly cups
And yes you're getting booed if your **** does not get down
And yes you're getting sued by women who didn't get up
Out their seat on the bus, and feet shouldn't rust
And beat is a must, and we shouldn't lust
But we do, I'm laughin' at the calendars and clocks
Ascot to match the socks, what's in your +Speakerboxxx+
+Pink and Blue+, you're lolly gaggin, you're slow pokin
You got me open, you're playin wit me, darlin I'm not a toy
As if Anita Baker brings the joy, you're a kiner, the Tyner meanin the real McCoy
I can't wait..
Black Ice(Goodie Mob)
Still Standing
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ear drums, it was a beautiful day off in the neighborhood
Yellows and greens and blues and browns and greys, and hues, the ooze beneath dilapidated wood
Anything could explain but pertains to cocaine and sustain in rain
See summer rolls around *****s holla bout change
Then they steady move them keys like Bob James
Cause old man winter‘s arrived, the temperature dived, November just died, December’s alive
Thus it ain’t no typical rise, just individual’s way to bring home,
The bakin when bakin was all wrong, Makin it our own, takin me all wrong
We’ve all indulged in the bulge of those no no no’s, you ain’t solo
It’s even lower level you can go, take sun people put em in the land of snow
And to top it off...........
Thought Process(Goodie Mob)
Soul Food
The thought process...
Now as an Outkast I was born, wasn't warned of the harm
That would come to meet me like Met Life, but yet life
Done sent me through a lot of up's and down like it ain't nothing'
Like elevators but I ain't the one that's pushin' the buttons
I got off at the 13th floor, when they told me that it wasn't one
They said it skipped from 12 to 14
Still smoking, still drinking, no I'm sittin' on the Lincoln
4 A.M. thinkin' that in reality the world is like a ball full of playas
We trapped off in this maze with walls made of layers
And only prayers is the tightest game that you can have
The devil's takin' a swing that might explain the broken glass
But my crystal ball see the pistol fall to the wayside
Nobody would die in cops and robbers when we used to play right
Huh, the only thang we feared was Williams, Wayne
Never though about hittin' licks or slangin' caine
Didn't think I'd be the one to give in to abortion
Label me murder because my ass is scorchin'
Hot from the glock that sits under my seat
Yeah, it's real ****ed up that my floks come to get me
And it's like dat, yeah...and it's like dem!
Nigg@ Puhleaze. T.I. ain't even in Big Boi's league. Luda skill wise could fukk with Big Boi, but not consistent quality material wise. 3 Stacks is just on a whole nother level.
