  • "She said, "Why you in the club, and you don't make it precipitate? You know, make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm" I'm like, "Why? " The world needs sun The hood needs funds There's a war going on and half the battle is guns How dare I throw it on the floor When people are poor So I write like Edgar Allen to restore, got a cord? [?] Umbilical attached to a place they can't afford " That kills like 99.9% of everything I hear out there man.
  • THIS MAN OFF DA CHAIN TMB CHUCKTOWN ALL DAY

  • so many hidden references in this song

  • Killed da beat

  • @moneyovaherre What does "Killed da beat" mean, specifically?

  • @barkape somethin good lol

  • It means he never has sex with someone's woman and he never has sex while on a time limit (Jacob is a brand of watches).

  • @skeetonbeezies

    You are right partially when he mention the Jacob watch reference he mean that he don't have sex with other men women and that he never owned a Jacob and still no what time it is.. It was a metaphor of saying that he know what time it is when he have sex with other men women.. Not the time literally but the time of the aftermath affect of having sex with other men girlfriends or wives..meaning drama, beef, etc..Thats why he know what time it is. I c that line went over your head

  • "i tell u like it is and tell u how it cud be". crazy

  • 'I swear it don't cost much to pay attention to me

    I tell it like it is

    or I tell it how it should be'

  • @rwnn...he said i never owned a Jacob. As in the watch brand, not the bible character.

  • Can somebody explain to me why he says "I don't f*ck nobody b! never on the Jacob". What's the story behind that line? Is it the whole backstabbing bible story? Or something else?

  • iLL.... who produced the beat?... that shit is bangin!!!

  • @guerrillabeast2010 dj drama

  • goOO 3000!!!!! lol, dude is soo fucking badass. I mean not one human on planet Earth can copy this pimp! everyone could bit on ppls style like any rapper in the game, but you just cant touch this nigga like him or not, you just cant even try to sound like him... for that he is ILL, and will be remembered 100's of years later in the game...

  • tru storytellin'!!

  • "now that got me out here brett faverin'.".... everyone know Andre still got it.

  • How dare I throw it on the floor when people are poor...

    Man if more people had this mindset. Andre is simply the truth. I usually would never call someone that, but this guy is always on point. Hes got it all, voice, flow, lyrics mixed with beats that always seem to be original/ahead of the game.

  • Kindly tell the DJs to shut the fuck up when a track is playing. Thanks a lot

    - me

  • @smokeyvv if the dj didnt say his name then he would not get the props he deservers for creating the music that YOU enjoy listening to, so how about you shut the fuck up and enjoy the music?

  • @DEDICATlON3 say his name? when the fuck is he saying his name. All i hear is a bunch of shit. Why dont you suck my dick bitch? Learn to think before you speak, faggot.

  • @smokeyvv you tell me to suck your dick, then call ME a faggot? maybe its you who should think before you speak..

  • thats one of the best lines i've ever heard...."I started out starvin now they got me out out here brett farvin tryin to see if I stil got it" but what more do expect from Dre but the best

  • @sauceandbuttah check out soopdood's version of this song on my pg!

    TaRodneyV

  • I love Andre 3000's verse, but Big Boi really done his thang on this track

  • this is garbage in the summertime

  • Best track I heard in years it's 2010, I am disappoint. and i am 15 yeasr old.

  • @TheDueI damn lil homie, but I feel ya!

  • im in my whatever bumpin nwa 100 miles and runnin runnin runnin runnin suppon, woman, come in, sit down heard you need some plumbin, done and im in, a swell mood, a rather SWOLE mood!! if that aint one of the greatest lines of all time...

  • soulja boy is better than andre 3 stacks

  • Lupe and Andre 3000 are both great rappers, and please leave the comparisons and who's better alone, please.....I do listen to 3000 more, but Lupe is dope, too. Arguably the best rapper of the 21st century. Dre's been out since the Early 90s when he did a track with TLC, and his progression to where he is now from how he started is better than any MC ever, imo. Dre's a poet, Lupe's one two. Just enjoy one of the all time greats, he shut this track down. Just wish I could find Big Boi's part too.

  • @01gtownhoyasDC yo Lupe and Andre 3000 r my favorite rappers. I like 3000's flow better but i like lupe's lyrics more

  • Maybe you should read the definition of cliche, and why would he mock people who rap about pimps and street shit when lots of people can relate, artists who have been there, done that and convey that through their music do so to connect with that audience. I listened again..... and still cringed. His label should have kept that song off the cd. And honestly I'm tired of this convo, I'm trying to hear 3k do his thing so lets agree to disagree and keep it at that.

  • i started out starving , now they got me out here brett farvein' ... priceless ... 3k is the greatest

  • anyone know where to find the full song with Big Boi's verse?

  • Who's the fucking douche bag talking over the fucking song? Why do people do that? Seriously? What a fucking faggot.

  • @therising1 you are.

  • @therising1 They have to do it to post most songs on youtube, and its marketing for the dj's so you know who to find if you like the mix.

  • Andres lyrical content is so deep; 5 different people could get 5 different meanings from the exact same bar, and he does it time and time again, that's not by accident homie.

  • was there ever a part 3?

  • @cjmagic900 nope lol just 1 2 and 4 lol unless they never released 3

  • HAHA damm 3 stacks kills everyting.

    3k= robocop+terminator. when the mission is killin songs.

  • youtube.com/watch?v=f6pOLX5gno­4 outkast - art of storytellin part 4

  • Why whenever there's a piece of good music on youtube someone always says some shit about Lil Wayne? just shut up about the guy and listen to the song.

  • anyone know where i could find this instrumental

  • @Coowey there are plenty of instrumentals of this song on youtube just look it up

  • @Coowey here u go homie

    watch?v=anq10tQ92Ak

  • The first verse is better than all of Lil' Wayne's albums put together and then some. It's cool, I don't need any thumbs up, its my opinion. The truth hurts so criticize as you wish.

  • @dochayes1

    Haa they gave you thumbs up anyway including me. That comment deserved it :)

  • This is WETARDED SICK....Heard you need some plumbing

    Done and I’m in a swell mood, a rather swole mood

    Until she told me that she told dude

  • Dats hiphop

  • For people that don't know the catalogue of verses where 3 Stacks is levels above every MC on the planet. I'll name a few to wet your appetite... I Can't Wait Gangsta Shit Synthesizer ATLiens Royal Flush 30 Something 13th Floor/Growing Old Mamacita Bombs Over Baghdad Return Of The G Theres many more but theres 10 verses that are thought provoking... hip hop heads take note.
  • @Aquemini3Stacks AAAAWWWWWRREEAADDDYYY!!!

  • @Aquemini3Stacks Well I can name a few songs of Lupe's that can compare. I can't decide on which one but they're both beasts regardless.

  • @cisseusa123 agreed

  • @cisseusa123 I'm a massive Lupe fan, he's an amazing lyricist. I have F&L and The Cool and i'm gonna be gettin Lasers the day it drops but he isn't on Andre 3000's level, and that is being honest. Andre's flow, style and wordplay puts him above every MC on the planet.

  • @TrifeLid88 Nooo way haha Lupe's ideas are far more creative than Andre 3000 (the Legend). Lupe describes himself as a an island, a pair of pants, FOOD, a robot, a bomb, etc... AND manages to stay relevant. There is simply no one on Lupe's level so far. I just haven't heard anyone with his kind of ideas, pop culture references, historical references,wordplay, double/triple/quadruple entendres,flow,multis, switch in tempo..remember the 3rd verse of "hurt me soul". I just cant agree with you man.

  • @cisseusa123 You cant seriously compare Lupe to Andre 3000. Lupe is an amazing lyricist like I said. But Andre 3000 is a serious contender for the greatest of all time. Look at what he was doing in 1994. His creativity is on a different level compared to any other MC. Listen to every bar he has laid down, for example... the tiempo and lyrics on his verse on Aquemini and then his verse on 30 Something... both different but both always on point, he's a genius.

  • @TrifeLid88 Once again read the last 4 lines of my last response. Andre is not fucking with Lupe on the creative level. Lupe is on a planet in a different dimension in a place we've never heard of. Listen to the first 4 bars in the song "Thank You freestyle" CLOSELY and you'll realize something you never did before :) If you don't then I'll tell you if you reply to this.

  • @cisseusa123 Lupe is a genius, hence the reason's I have his albums. But to say he's better than Andre 3000 creatively is silly. Have a listen to Southernplayalistik, ATLiens, Aquemini and Stankonia and you mite realise what i'm talking about. Andre 3000 was light years ahead of his time lyrically when he was 19. Go back and study or listen to what Talib Kweli, Jay-Z and Eminem say about 3 Stacks.

  • @TrifeLid88 I've have listened to those and the commentaries of Talib, Jay-Z, and Em. I know that he was very creative since he began rapping back in 94. Ex: "I got a lot of shit on my mind, I wipe the boo-boo from my brain etc..". So I really think it's ridiculous to put 3K on Lupe's CREATIVE level. Maybe 3K has mastered levels that Lupe hasn't simply because of longevity but no one is fucking with Lupe creatively. Come on dude, "Twilight Zone", "Failure". You gotta be kidding.

  • @cisseusa123  watch?v=hFYAVLN-utM

    This might give you a clue of what I mean by being way ahead of time lyrically whilst switching up so many different flows and using wordplay like no other, that is what I mean by creativity. Nobody can fuck with this. Every hardcore hip hop fan will have 3 Stacks in their top 5 ahead of Lupe, and this is coming from a Lupe fan.

  • @TrifeLid88 I'm talking creativity in terms of concepts and ideas. And people would only put 3K ahead of Lupe because Lupe's been in the game less time. I swear if Lupe came out before 3K people would say otherwise.But they're both great at what they do I just think Lupe is better lyrically and creative-wise, but it's all our opinions.

  • @TrifeLid88 Brah, Lupe fiasco is better creatively. When Andre drops metaphors like Lupe does especially on Lupe fiasco twilight zone then you can say different. People just put Andre above others because he is a legend and a pioneer. This is from respect but people should find a reverence from listening to lupe because he is lyrically on a different lever like cisseuse said. Also, his word play is just crazy and it all rhymes. I like Andre though. Its whatever

  • @RiftRaft123 Andre 3000 has the best wordplay in the game. People who fail to realise this are not listening properly, the way Andre uses words and rhyme patterns are on another level. Lupe is great lyrically, i'm a massive fan but he isn't better than Andre 3000 as an all round MC. Look at what 3 Stacks has achieved and listen to his most recent verses on the likes of Royal Flush, Ride Remix Lookin 4 Ya and Deuces. If Outkast wanted to come back and destroy anybody in the game they could.

  • @TrifeLid88 I just don't see how he's better all-around bro. Andre has Lupe beat when it comes to different flows but in everything else Lupe is better. I just don't see what you see dude. haha

  • @cisseusa123 He is better all round than anybody, he can master different flows, he uses unbelievable rhyme patterns is top 3 of all time. At 19 he was a lyrical genius. You need to listen to EVERY track 3 Stacks has been on. Nobody is touching him or Black Thought as an MC and that is a fact.

  • @TrifeLid88 He is the BEST when it comes to flows and beats Lupe in that category. No contest. BUT when it comes to the other qualities Lupe wins hands down. There is no one and I mean NO ONE on this planet with the creative mind/thoughts that Lupe has. I can't even imagine some of the stuff he writes. Andre beats Lupe in terms of versatile flows but Lupe wins in ALL other categories. No contest. and that's being real dude.

  • @cisseusa123 You can say what you want but ask real hip hop heads who's better. I know the answer, I'm a big Lupe fan but I think you're bit of a Stan. Lupe is different to 3 Stacks lyrically, at times you need a dictionary to listen to Lupe, and I like that but that doesn't mean he's better. 3 Stacks has mastered lyrics, different types of flow and he's even got an album where he sings, as an all round MC and artist, there is no one better. Come back when you have heard every Outkast album son.

  • @TrifeLid88 haha I feel ya but I'm saying lyrically Lupe is better.

  • @cisseusa123 No he isn't, Lupe is great lyrically yes but just because at times people need a dictionary to Lupe doesn't mean he's better. Black Thought and Nas are the closest to 3 Stacks lyrically.

  • @TrifeLid88 He is dude. Lupe makes references 3 Stacks couldn't even think of. Lupe isn't able to do this because he's better but because he's much more diverse and not your average guy. And like I said spitting multi-syllables all the time does NOT make you the best as a lyricist. It's just a plus. Ppl always assume that that makes you better. I respect your opinion but I personally believe Lupe is more talented. No one like him yet. Neither of us are gonna change our minds but I respect you.

  • @cisseusa123 just listened to "Thank You", yeah its definitely prop worthy, but he needs some different sounding beats and if he can make songs like that for at least 2 more decades I'll agree he's on Dre's level, but I've also heard some stuff from Lupe that takes away from your point. And you still don't quite get Lupe grew up with 3k and other sick ass lyrical genius masterminds as influences, while they had no such influences, way different playing field my man.

  • @lmnop123ish I guess I can almost agree with what you said. But speaking seriously his "Thank You" freestyle was probably a 2 or 3 compared to his other songs in terms of metaphors double entendres etc...If you REALLY wanna be convinced listen to "Twilight Zone". And I guess Lupe and Andre are equal now that I think about it. Andre is just more experienced.

  • @cisseusa123 I disagree. Lupe came in clearly making concept albums. If your main goal is to make a concept album, of course you're going to be deliberately (sometimes forcedly) creative. I have both of Lupe's albums and he is undoubtedly the best young rapper, but he built upon the work of Andre 3000/Outkast. 3 Stacks was a pioneer, lyrically and creatively and that's why he's better.

    When Lupe changes the game completely then can he compete. Besides, it's music, ART, and subjective

  • @chringbing Well actually he based it upon Nas and that's where he built his foundation. But I must say even though 3K is one of the pioneers I'd only go as far as creatively because there are MANY before him who changed the way we interpret lyrics today. And just because someone pioneered something doesn't mean they can't be surpassed. I mean if you take the time ( a lot) to decipher Lupe like I do you'll be amazed. No one is doing it like Lupe. He's too unique for his own good. But I feel you.

  • @cisseusa123 Personally, I just think Lupe tries a little harder and it feels slightly forced. And of course people can and are surpassed, but I think every generation likes to believe they are witnessing the best ever...when they aren't or when "The Best" is a subjective criterion.

    Sometimes we actually are seeing the best ever (Usain Bolt) and sometimes there are too many factors that go into 'the best' (Kobe/Lebron vs Jordan).

    But we can all agree they're great.

  • @chringbing I agree with EVERYTHING you said except one thing and it's ironic. haha When Lupe raps it's so effortless that it astonishes me. He doesn't force his lyrics or try to hard to make ppl understand his lyrics which is why it takes so damn long to decipher his music lol And as far as "subjective" there's someone in the world faster than Usain Bolt we just don't know them so it's never technically definitive. =)

  • @chringbing lupe is considred 1 of tha best rappers an andre is a pioneer but theres only 6 yrs diffrence betwen them

  • @RiftRaft123 People will say Andre is the best because of his longevity but Lupe is truthfully better.

  • @cisseusa123 First of all, have you listened to every song 3000 has been on? You've also gotta remember how he was already on that next level when Outkast 1st dropped, how many years ago? Lupes far more creative??? Dre went from underground, down south rap to the love below, and has done everything in between. Hard ass G's will give him props, pure hip hop fans will do the same, and do you know how many preppie white girls own at least the love below? Dre's touched em all, Lupe hasnt come close

  • @lmnop123ish Dude I understand Andre is great but I read one of your comments saying you can find 5 meanings in one bar? Seriously. -_-. Lupe has done underground, south, etc..You probably haven't heard it. Lupe has been on this level since he began bro. Go listen to his "Thank You" freestyle and listen to the first 4 lines then come back & tell me what you heard. If you don't I'll gladly explain it to you. (: Lupe is much more creative in terms of lyrics. Ex: Gotta eat, go to sleep, pressure

  • @cisseusa123 And Lupe has NEVER done anything resembling something from the south, not remotely close.

  • @lmnop123ish listen to "Switch" if you haven't heard his Southern style rap.

  • @cisseusa123 Just cause that beat was done by them TX boys dont make it "southern style"... vocab is way too cliche, he should stick with what he knows because he is a very talented lyricist- that song had me cringing a bit.

  • @lmnop123ish I couldnt\'t help but laugh at what you just said LOL "Cliche'"? How the hell is switching personas in random parts of a song cliche? No one else even does that shit dude. And that song had you cringing because you probably didn't really hear everything he was saying. It takes countless listens to understand fully. Not sayin that just cause. I realized something from his song "failure" after listening literally like 100 times.

  • @cisseusa123 No one else does it because you sound fake as hell trying to do certain styles that you know nothing about; Lupe talking about pimps and street shit? c'mon. "...as he spit and stumbled over cliches..." Andre 3000- 2 dope boys and a Cadillac. I was cringing because you could tell he was trying too hard and forcing something that just doesn't sound right coming out of his mouth.

  • @lmnop123ish Point Number One-Cliches' were not apart of this song. Point Number Two-i've proved you wrong LOL Did you realize what he was doing in that song? He was MOCKING people who try to rap about "pimps and street shit". Listen again until you understand. Hell read the comments and you'll see how ironic what you posted is. He is simply ridiculing other MC's and you didn't even realize it.And in no way shape or form did it seem "forced". Makes no sense.

  • Comment removed

  • @Aquemini3Stacks Don't forget Millenium. That verse just... my god. Shit fucks me up its so good

  • BTW, Where's the track with Big Boi on it to? Big Boi went in, too...

  • Ugh....I saw someone post that 3 Stacks isn't a genius with his rapping. C'mon now, the way he uses metaphors, his wordplay, and yet he STILL tells a story is genius. And someone suggesting ATLiens as 3 stacks best work told ya wrong. Aquemini, and Stankonia are probably his best stuff to look at for his rapping. And I like Immortal Technique, Del the Funkee Homeosapien, etc. But the majority of those rappers have the same styles, and aren't as versatile...Just sayin...

  • @EazyTarantino....no he didnt say mua...he said bumping nwaaaa...like he didnt say n.w.a..he said nwa he sound it out on ya ass...see u didnt even catch that...3 stacks flew over everybodys head wit that one!!

  • bumping nwaaa....N.W.A ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • @abtex325 nah he said mua or however u spell it meaning himself

  • i probably have 1000 of those views lol

  • this dude is way too beasty....lol...why do so many sleep on him?

  • FUCK DJs STOP RUINING SONGS LIKE THIS

  • This is rap music, 3 stacks is a pure lyricist, no disrespect to wayne, but smoking weed gettin money and hoes gets old, andre is a storyteller, shit is ill.

  • @awesomesg27 lil wayne sucks

  • So Im watching her fine ass walk to my bed room and thought to myself that the shape of things to "Cum".

  • I definitely be up in my tub...exfoliating...yellin' Go 3000!. All day...er'day...

  • 9 dislikes!!!...i am so confused what is not to like???...those 9 people must look in the mirror backwards cuzz they cant look at themselves anymore...LOL!!

  • WOw Andre' Benjamin is jus that best ever

    ~Da Sky Kidd~

  • Ah he definetly still got IT.

  • OutKast is one of my favorite "Old School" album collections. Dont hate on Eminem because hes white and can spit sik-as-fuk! Also , Lil Wayne & Andre have 2 totally different styles cant compare them or any at all every rapper has his own unique style. Some tend to suk more than others :)

  • @CapricornX3 Well wayne did pattern his style after Dre after they worked on hollywood Divorce. Listen to when he changed it up after duffle bag boy, when he was sounding like he was chewing.

  • So Im Watching Her Fine Ass Walk To My Bed Room And Thought To My Self Thats The Shape Of Things To Come

    She Said "Why U In The Club You'll Make It Percipitate?" U Kno Make It Rain Well U Make It Thunder Storm. Im Like Why The World Needs Sun, The Hood Needs Fun, So Theres A War Goin On And Half The Battle Is Guns.

    Why Does This Sond Have Only 217,000 Views While That Bitch Ass Biebers Pullin 300 Million Shyt Ppl These Days Have No Taste In Music

  • @denzelwayloncrow1 true thtt
