Andre 3000 - The Art Of Story Telling Part 4

[JwilliamsII21]

@BeelanB Eminem listed 3000 as one of the top 5 in a song of his

[jacoblevi99]

check my shit out no joke hunter hadley g shock shits raw no beat us me goin n if u dont like it tell me why n leava comment if ur feeln it let it b known share it

[twoassholewannabes]

Everyone arguing about "best rapper", "greatest of all time", etc are fools. Subjective opinions mean nothing. If you want to measure 'Cultural impact', "Technical Proficiency", feel free. However, again, how you rate individual pieces that fall under those categories is subjective. Feel free to list your favorite rappers, and make compelling arguments for "why?", but don't come in here getting pissed because people don't share your view. It's ignorant, embarassing, and all around stupid.

[Aplustradomus]

This is sick..gooood lawdt

[almaerSA]

PEOPLE SHOULDNT BE COMPARING GREAT RAPPERS TO OTHER GREAT RAPPERS

[currycurrypatriots]

andre 300 is wayyyy underrated but kanye was still better in his prime(b4 illuminati)

[sexysilva69ify]

<3 andre

[yungmigo49]

Andre would destroy Eminem

[twoassholewannabes]

@yungmigo49

Andre is a fantastic rapper, and a compelling argument could be made that he is 'technically' more skilled than Eminem. However, when it comes to battling, i would never bet against Eminem, the dude is fucking ruthless. That said, I love both these artists.

[superugly75]

3 stacks is stupid nice teachn.......

[Ozgood23]

eminem says 3000 is the best ever

[bralla18]

 YO WHERE DA ALBUM AT?

[ohnodope]

no one noticed his raps were interupted?

read the book before you talk about it, idiots..

[johnwagu]

Andre 3 stacks is raw.

Best Rappers alive (no order)

Mos Def, Andre 3000, Nas, Eminem, Rza

honorable mentions: Immortal Technique, entire wu-tang clan, DMX, Lupe Fiasco, J. Cole

[giro862]

@johnwagu

Lupe..really? I don't rate DMX or 2/3 of Wu either though tbh though. Too early to be 'honourably mentioning' J.Cole as well.

[volunteernation16]

why are people even mentioning wayne? he isn't worthy to be in the same sentence as Andre 3000

[Frohman128]

top 5 mc's

1. Andre 3000

2. 3 stacks

3. icecold

4. dre

5. Andre again

[jacoblevi99]

@Frohman128 no its wayne drake kanye nas wale

[mkextra05]

why the fuck is wayne mentioned everywhere? *insert obvious ill rapper here* murders wayne...ya'll make him sound so important. smh.. i agree andre 3000 is one of the best to ever do it and @CantWorkDeezGadgets knows wasup

[manywomen]

from time u ppl write 2 pac as the best u dont nw flow, no one got the swagger like biggie wen it comes 2 hip hop, 2 pac if he was still a life would be some average guy, he just shouts on the mic, biggie is just on another level

[kingjam3s68]

how does everyone have a list an not include llcoolj..that may sound corny..but if you listen to his disses you will think different

[liljay0014]

1. 2 PAC

2. Immortal Technique

3. Andre 3000

4. Nas

5. J. Cole

[CantWorkDeezGadgets]

@liljay0014 As the greatest of all time........? That's quite a funny list you have there son.

[PotencyRaps]

@CantWorkDeezGadgets not all time but besides 2pac the best of right now

[CantWorkDeezGadgets]

@PotencyRaps I get it, but the fact is that you J Cole on there when Black Though, Mos Def, Canibus, Eminem, Chino XL, Lupe, and a bunch of other guys are better than him. Common, Rakim.........I could go on.

[TheJiggiesmalls]

1.2Pac

2.Eminem

3.The Notorious B.I.G

4.Lupe Fiasco

5.Andre 3000

=D

[NotoriousJacE]

@TheJiggiesmalls Forgot the guy better than 2Pac....Hov'.

[CantWorkDeezGadgets]

@NotoriousJacE Seriously, how is Lupe on there when he isn't even better than Back Thought, Mos Def, Common, Andre, Talib Kweli, Meth, or Canibus.........the lost goe son on and on of people better than Lupe......but hey, these kind of things can only be subjective anyway I suppose.

[zs12235]

teenieboppers love the mainstream...people know who the real illest is

[kdesco]

dre was definitely doing the lords work on this track!!

[furious4fury]

yall tripin if u think 3000 iz bitein stop hatin

[MacTown2121]

Who is he bitin son ??

[arozer]

Who??

[rINGbOOSIE]

is it not obvious

?

[ricci615]

this is my favorite song  love it

[denton20201]

This is one chone of a song

[sonsofwalsh]

My top 10 (a whole lot of honorable mentions). Lyrical skills, versatility, relevance. Turn of the beats and spit it (makes you rewind to catch the lyrics!)...that's how I judge (Pac was a poet, but didn't possess true lyrical pedigree...in my opinion). Opinions appreciated. 1. KRS 2. Biggie 3. Eminem 4. Andre 3000 5. Big Daddy 6. Rakim 7. Redman 8. NAS 9. Big Pun 10. Black Thought/Talib/Common There's a ton of others, but I have to pick 10.

[sonsofwalsh]

Forgot about MOS DEF (in 10 spot).  This is tough!

[jay4457]

thats a good list...i dont agree with em...unless its the old eminem...nevertheless good list....go listen to ransom....he can make that list

[sonsofwalsh]

I actually think EM has gotten better as he's gotten older. He lost a little fire (more producing-which he isn't bad at, than rapping) and his last album (Encore)was average at best, but if you pay attention to even that one (if you can sit through the sillyness) his flow can be ridiculous. Ransom is tight, but limited. Throw Canibus in there as well.

Eminem needs someone to call him out (battle rapper at heart)-but no one is stupid enough to try him. Underrated and taken for granted.

[jay4457]

hey..the beauty of hip hop is "opinion"...i might not be the biggest em fan...but i agree, no rapper is truely ready to test em on that battle shit...lol..if they dare try, they better know what they're doing

[sonsofwalsh]

I agree...opinions definitley make hip hop/music interesting (so long as the opposing side doesn't say anyone silly -like Soulja Boy!). Thanks for your input jay4457.

[mdsklz]

son of walsh i think your delusional to bar tupac from your honourable list, not only is this clearly dispicable behaviour, you have to consider the impact and influence an artist of 2pacs calibre had on the hip hop industry.. your list is there for circle logic and should be rendered as trash

[sonsofwalsh]

Took a lot of heat on Pac....a fan of his and I do not take away his impact...but Pac never made me sit back and say Whoa! with his lyrics. If I made a list on impact on the game, then he's definitley top 10. Thanks for the opinion, but trash...I don't think so.

[redsoxfan591]

Take biggie of that list, add GZA... Others, Lupe Fiasco (only based on your requirements), Q-Tip, AZ, or Big L. Still a solid list though.

[sonsofwalsh]

I like all that you put on there (Big L a bit over-rated, AZ was good, just not lights out). Biggie off the list? You've got to be kidding me.

[redsoxfan591]

Big L is def not overrated... He barely gets brought up at all. He had an extremely complex style of rhyming. the metaphors and lyrical devices he used were on another level than most other rappers of his day or even today. And yes, Biggie IS overrated... People hold his dick because he is from New York, has an amazing flow, and principally because he beefed with TuPac. Still top 10 all time though, just not top 5 especially based on your requirements.

[sonsofwalsh]

We will just have to agree to disagree. Biggie vs. Tupac to me was a joke, and shouldn't be the platform to either elevate or denigrate either rapper. Biggie lyrically/metaphorically is just flat out better than Tupac (Pac was deeper..but so what?). Big L would be in my top 25, AND he is brought up by those that appreciate the total package...those are the only people that I even care to debate with on this subject. Thanks...keep it coming.

[cbaby805]

He murders everything he touches

he easliest the number 1 on everyone list

wayne playyed out

[almightyrida]

wat the hell is easliest? andre 3k suck

[xV1Cx]

[spidurmano]

which Cd is this off of? or is this just a track he released?

[sideeffect4]

dj drama album

Gangsta Grillz: The Album

[Ifonlyuwazreal]

One of the best lyricists out right now, if not the best.

[krustykrabs69]

one of the illest? are you retarded? andre is #1 he is the illest realist rapper

[redsoxfan591]

Best verse of 07 hands down.

[WillMillion15]

its a great verse, but check RA the Rugged Man's verses on the Uncommon Valor and on Renaissance. Both are the best verses of 07.

[indomitableRNR]

What's with the annoying bitch advertising some shit I can't even understand?

[imdamwright]

wayne sukks 3000

[Sabin4445]

Yep andre would murder wayne in the booth with intelligence and mad lyrics.(Its a clue joke)

[BlazNnVA]

i miss the old outkast back when ATLiens dropped

[lalalisi]

the only 1s dat in andres level eminem jayz rakim and biggie som times lil wayne can b ill 2

[indomitableRNR]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[KendraC]

Andre can't be touched!!!

[severe8403]

If you dont think that Andre is in the top 10 of all time best, then you either hate rap or know nothing about it.

[FranchiseLove]

I started off starvin'

Now they got me out here Brett Farve'n

Trynna see if I still got it...

[sakunjawindninja]

people forget about him

[enugbv]

I never forgot about him

[sakunjawindninja]

never said you did

[enugbv]

when you said 'people' I thought you meant 'people'...of which I am one of. However, it was a passing comment, not designed to offend anyone. Perhaps you should chill out.

[sakunjawindninja]

what are you talking about i have to chill out whatever. why do you feel it necessary to tell me you did not forget about. him if u didnt u didnt if u did u did i really dont care either way

[alonguemtv07]

I love this song! This is tooo hot!!

[dominic333]

[oyioyioi]

I'm glad someone ....FINALLY I see someone has some brains in this country THANK YOU for that they be all in little wayne because the real mc's are chillin andre needs to come out with another outkast album wit big boi, common needs to be more mainstream and lupe well...eeryone knows lupue's nice...wow they need to put those bubble gum rappers like wayne to sleep

[deltuh]

Listen to drought 3 and tell me he's a bubble gum rapper . If you dont feel that shyt then you juz a square .

[Shavennnn]

Sometimes he have his moments to where he be putting together retared combinations. But his old shit not his new shit was on point. I feel ya tho he over saturated and it's probably hard for people to respect the mc he was. He need to take a break and give it a rest.

[Hueyriley11]

[Brost31]

Everybody talkin' about Andre's verse, but Big Boi did good too.

"Drop down and get your eagle on freak"

"I got mean ass backhand and a cannon that don't miss"

[06walkerj]

andre's the truth but no one gives Big Boi the respect he deserves. He might not be as good as 3000 but he's right up there wit em

[RealHipHop85]

lmao

[Itachiwoods25]

andre 3k da best my nigga

[patg074]

wow!

[MakenZero]

girl in the back ground talking about where to get this really ruined it should only be at the beginning or the very end

[taj7575]

"i started out starving, now i'm out here Brett favreing"

[kingzcounty22]

[OTKP]

DAMN! Dre goes hard everytime but shout out to Big Boi, I think he Top 10 all times also, everybody talk about Dre but Big Boi is a monster himself

[ItOffishul]

lil wayne sucks balls compared to outkast

[kingzcounty22]

ty man

[tuoskcoreittam]

3000 keep everone brett favren

[REEFA863]

this is one of my favourite songs of the year so far, it has a nice feel to it,its a good song to cruise around to

[Dr3Productionz]

Percipitate = Make it rain

Best anology in a while

Almost as gud as Jay's 'I take off like a been strippin all my life'. These 2 need to do proper song 2gether the 30 smething remix was not enuff.

[lilddcddiv]

beasted it

[dbizzle31]

he killed this..hands down. killed it. 3000

[Phunxion]

Andre 3000 is nasty.. nuff said but nah lemme say this.. Music is coming back around.. fuck it I say it all the time but its fucking true.. BOOM BANG CONNECT!!!! for all you reggae heads out there

[derrick1981]

andre murder it for the people that hip hop. this is bumping and it doesn't require me to do stupid ass dance moves. this is genious

[Play215]

This Verse got me with my poms poms yelling go 3000 lol Cause I don't fuck nobody bitch and I never owned a Jacob know what time it is lol.... 3000 The best in the last 2 years without a solo album Damn how he do that??

[carolcityown]

Rhyme of the Year hands down. Rappers just better be glad, he doesnt do an album where he only rhymeS. TROUBLE FOR OTHER RAPPERS

[shogunofyellow]

Weezy isn't even up there lyrically, especially since he's always out of his mind off cups and cups of drank. He does have swagger and presence though. Just check his Gossip performance at BET.

As for 3k, this is some strong social commentary. Definitely better than Players Anthem.

[BodyBaggers]

Wayne has no swagger at all. If you have swagger that means you have to be original. He aint original. Who does Lil Wayne dress like? Jim Jones and Juelz Santana. Who does Andre dress like? No one in the world and im sure of that so that gives him 5 stars in swagger. He's certified nigga. Peace up A Town down

[adrury42]

this song is waaay too legit

[AurousX]

"The heart beat for Rap, keeps us alive" Lil wayne has some nice songs to listen to, most of them: any lyrical value?... nope.

[jcreepg]

Are you crazy Andre step his rap game up crucial he was already at a all time high now he is beyond great I know this is irrelevant but I'm tired of hearing this shit about lil wayne being the best rapper right now when you got people like Lupe Fiasco, Andre 3000 Black Thought, Pharoahe Monch etc

[skyler2dope]

dope song

[atownrepin]

3000 is too fye dat nigga so deep

[YungBluffGuh07]

3 stax is so underratted u never hear his name up ther with wayne when it def needs to be all this souljah boy shit AINT shit

[taj7575]

thats cuz weezy mainstream shit. 3000 is so much better

[lionheartrep]

absolute fire...if anyone disagrees...they should not be allowed to listen to rap music anymore...that is all

[Mallin00]

wow, outkast still doing it, still got it. and honestly, i didnt expect any less. these niggas is artists.

[2smoov2]

Where's part 3? I heard Da Art of Storytelling 1, 2, and 4.

[toxiqprada]

[splifted23]

Started of starvin now they got me out here Brett Farvin thats hard-body son...

[yadadasayintho]

A true mc

[ffxloverffd]

Dre 3k is just a bit too good for most "hip hop fans" to get their minds around. They just want to dance in the club and you can't appreciate Dre if you aint really listening. Oh well, real fans will recognize this man's status as the greatest alive.

[DaGreat2011]

3 stacks killed it!!!!!

[Cristiano2008]

how dare i throw it on the floor when people are poor....

[wkrpnatl]

[noname6317]

Listen to Capital Punishment then tell me different.

[cs98152]
