Mos def is the Andre of the north and Andre is the mos def of the south this isn’t debatable literally two of the artist I grew up on because of how they flowed effortlessly thru beats and the acting ability they had matched the music they created always a different role or character
It would have been dope to have 3000 and Mos spit verses over “30 hours”. That was one of the biggest teases ever. Damn a debate, I just want to hear those cats on a song or two together.
Underrated statement. Biggest tease ever. And one of the best beats on a Kanye album in years. This really would be incredible, even just a 3 stacks verse would’ve sufficed
Folks keep acting like 3k’s guest verses don’t count for anything. Dude has 30+ verses since 2007. At least a dozen of those verses are legendary. No two are the same. He was quoted back in an article saying he’ll spit a verse better than most rapper’s albums, and that quote rings true 20 years later. Some folks don’t need a damn album to recognize that dude is one of the greats. Not many can do what he does. Anyone with ears can hear it.
Plus people act like all those Outkast albums don't count for something. He's in a similar spot as Lauryn Hill and Black Thought yet you never hear the "they dont have enough solo material line" towards them
@@662chillin because when those albums were coming out, everyone touted Big Boi over 3k... Now, Big Boi doesn't get spoken of as much... It started with Hey Ya!... I wonder why 🤔 given where we are as a society
The Rawkus A&R was a guy named Ali. People gotta do their research on him but iykyk. Kanye took the entire play Ali mapped out for him and it worked. The previous artist Ali did the exact same thing with right before Kanye was Hitman who’s work essentially became The Chronic 2001. Small caveat as well but Ali is a Ralph Lauren historian and Ralph has had to rent vintage polo from Ali for numerous campaigns. Wouldn’t be a pink polo without Ali.
Mos Def blends his styles in and out during his verses, and switches flow differently. Almost like he has double perspectives and doesn't cross lines. He can tend to go on and on and when his audience goes wild he cho choo trains his rhymes and as the listener u have to be able to ride the wave with him leading it. Bc Mos Def aka Yasiin Bey is ahead of his time!
Beat sounded exactly the same. But why would u not wanna hear Blackstar over it? They can hang with the goats. Jayz will tell u himself. Mos def is insanely underrated
Lol it seems like Joe thought that Kanye made the original beat and he ended up selling it to Jay-Z for Brooklyn’s finest instead of selling it to MosDef and Kweli 😂 his timelines are messed up
@@nvm7191 yup. And I was confused too till I saw their outfits. Then on reply he said he was remaking it But they didn't play the remake no way lol I heard no change but black star was acting like it was a new beat
Mos Def aka Mos Talented. 3000 is a Legend. But, I can’t say he’s over Mos though because he opted out of the game. Mos been creating masterpieces in various forms.. -Mos really did an NFT style album you could only hear at a museum situation before NFTs existed lol. -Mos crashed an award show with his own stage on a truck and performed, “Katrina Clap” in protest. -Mos was on Chappelle Show, bruh. -Mos was bringing Afrobeat to HipHop before Afrobeats was popping - he got FELA on his first album Intro, bruh. 20 Years ahead of everybody lol. -Cadillac Records, Something the Lord Made.

Stop it ain’t hands down homie 3000 is a murder on MIC. Mos kills most rappers if not all these corns out now plus his under music buts him over dude easy
The reason why Mos Def doesn't get his due is because he disappeared when he was super hot and his projects after his return weren't that great. He started with Blackstar and Black on Both Sides which are undoubtedly classic projects. The stuff after he returned was no where near that level. It's not a talent issue, it has to do more with resume. Mos wanted to explore other things outside of Rap and his discography suffered because of it.
Not true at all, New Danger got a lot of accolades. I can't lie it took a minute for that album to grow on me but it did and it's one of my favorites. True Magic wasn't the greatest but he had 3 to 4 ill joints on that album. You definitely can't front on The Ecstatic, that whole album is fire and he didn't curse on that entire project. I didn't even know Dec. 99th existed until last year or so and that album was kinda ok. But the real reason he said fuck it is because he was tried of putting all this hard work. Into his art and given penny's for it.

Not even a worth a convo if you don't understand that!!
@@nerdbamarich2063 Naw. Black on Both Sides is in my top 10 best hip hop albums of all time but we can't pretend like those other joints don't exist. He stepped away when he was absolutely on fire and it wasn't the same after that. The reason why Mos Def's talent doesn't get the praise it deserves is because his resume is lacking.
Both are legends and Mos was one of my favourites but something off happened when he became Yasiin, in terms of his passion to rhyme, output. Andre is more consistent for me and arguably got better with time. Every Andre feature is a moment lol.

Mos Def and Rawkus records is the underground NYC that was super real and in effect. That was my high school days! Good music….they didn’t want to be known and mainstream. They wanted to rep the underdog, backpackers, the taggers and all alike…much love to that side of NYC….MY NYC!
Came from that whole era and they were boring. They probably stayed relevant off industry connections because nobody listened to them in NYC like that.
That’s very true. Talib took Kanye on his first tour, evidence helped produce on college dropout. Rawkus definitely had a hand in Kanye’s early success
Mos all day; duo classics and solo classics. Amazing rhyme schemes, flow, bangers and catchy songs, great voice, and plus he did amazing in freestyles. Name another rapper who could do that and also write deep subject shit.
@@enzocabrera4440 You don’t need to be that deep to be a great MC. Right time? What bullshit are you on, if he was in the 90’s/2000’s and dropped TPAB or GKMC niggas will be calling him ahead of his time. Get the fuck outta here
I have never heard on Mos in an top 10 conversation, but I consistently here 3 Stacks names mentioned. I gets down with Mos hard, but 3 Stacks all day.
Fam Mos is definitely one of the greats but that’s 3Stacks my g, people been waiting for a new Outkast or solo project from Andre for years so heavy that the shits become a meme, niggas ain’t talkin bout Mos Def and Black Star the same way they talk bout Andre 3000 and Outkast
That’s not even a question 3stacks is not afraid to be himself. Mos def just a conscious rapper But Andre can rap on anything and keep up with all genres in every era of rap
@@t-god2439 Aquemeni puts the debate to bed by itself. Then you add in Stankonia.... it's not even a fair fight. Every time Andre 3000 features on someone else's music he always outshines them. I like Mos Def, but not close.
@@Allison_Chaynes I think it’s closer than you think Mos first album is a classic he by himself has a classic album something andre has never done and black star is also a good album he also has some classic verses as well
I’m a young mexican that gets high asfc on my TH-cam channel as my job.. i hate that there isn’t any Mexicans at the top.. i love all races but it makes me sad no one like me is at top .
If I see and Andre verse I'm clicking that asap and it's gonna be legendary as fuck. With that being said I cant out him over mos def andi can't remember the last time I heard a song from dude. Can't choose, it seems wrong
Love the music Mos and Andre have dropped to this day. However on a head to head...I think Most def is the better Lyricist and that means alot to me when you're a MC
I think the only person that was missing from the Kanye documentary was producer Deric “D.Dot” Angelettie of Bad Boy, who put Kanye in the game in the late 90s by taking him under his wing for 3 years. That’s how Kanye ended up working with Mase, Jermaine Dupri, Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown, the Bad Boy camp and he also introduced Kanye to Roc-A-Fella. People never knew about this.
That's close.. but in terms of skill, innovation, originality and lasting influence, Andres 3000 takes this slightly. Love Mos a lot though and is one of my favorites but objectively speaking, 3K got this.
Think they slick trying to correct the title😂 anyways as much as I love Mos Def 3 Stacks as a rapper makes you feel out of this world its like listening to a Poet from another galaxy
@@TheNyion912 and who cares bro all the classic work in OutKast plus all them amazing features at this point I Don t need an album anymore because if he does give one people are probably gonna say it was mid or whatever cuz he waited too long like they do with so much albums these days
I still laughing at how Scarface walked out on Kanye trying to get him on Jesus walks. Guy got to hear family business and mocked it “all that glitters ain’t gold” 🤣
I like mos Def. At one point a lot. But there's nothing he does that pharaoh monch doesn't do better. And Andre 3k is better at those unique flow switching singing rapping styles than both of them.
Agreed, part 1 of the documentary I loved and enjoyed and is such an amazing examination of so many things; perseverance, self belief, the importance of community, music, culture, to name a few. But part 2 and 3 were very hard to watch. I will revisit part 1 often but will probably not watch part 2 and 3 again.
That's the thing; I've never separated 3 Stacks from Outkast, which is why he wouldn't be on my top five, even though The Kast as a group is. Good point.
When Andre 3000 love below drop it was a game charger in hip hop on what would be considered hip hop. Add Outkast as a group and his features he definitely over Mos Def. Truth be told NYC as a whole don't even listen to mos def or roots like that. They probably stayed relevant off industry connections because mos def ain't on anyone top 10. Nas, Big. Jay-z, Cam'ron, mase, The Lox, ghostface, raekwon. Redman, mobb deep etc many names came up in convo in the 90's nyc, but nobody was waiting for a mos def album.
Simple question when was the last time Mos Def did a verse that made you pause and reflect like 3K's on "life if the party"? Don't worry I'll wait...... (PS I'm a huge Mos Def fan)
Mos catalog speaks for it self. All his albums are solid including The Black Star classic album. Andre is great and up.there with the greatest lyrical MCs.
@@nerdbamarich2063 of course it's subjective. But if we're being honest in real life the reverence for Andre is way more than what Mos gets, because Andre is on a different level.
@@popetaytv agreed but that doesn't mean he's better. Those are still people's opinions and nothing more. I like them both equally and musically. People's opinions on music isn't supposed to sway you it's all within the ear of the beholder.
I'm just waiting on this veneer of Andre 3000 to disappear... Niggas really be saying he's the best ever and he can't even outright beat Mos Def... His eccentricity helped him excel in rap. I don't care I don't care, I don't care...
The Mighty Mos and 3000 are genuine talents....... Mos is definitely underrated!!
Black on Both Sides and Black Star have been among my favorite albums for the past 20 years or so. Mos Def is super dope

It’s not “by far”….😂 but he is though
Hellll nawl
Mos Def got mad conceps. I think you like 3 stacks voice n delivery. Pen game wise ma hwan
@@TshoCa I’d favor 3k lyrically but I agree with what your saying it’s not by far Mos Def is and elite Mc doesn’t get the credit he deserves
prove it! Mos Def made "Mr Nigga"; what 3K's ""song" rivals this song? in fact, what 3K song rivals "Ms Fat Booty"?
If I see and Andre verse I'm clicking that asap and it's gonna be legendary as fuck. With that being said I cant out him over mos def andi can't remember the last time I heard a song from dude. Can't choose, it seems wrong
That’s a tough one. Leaning towards Mos Def but Andre 3000 can be more explosive IMO
I would love to see a Joe Budden documentary. I hope one is in work!
Short story
Love the music Mos and Andre have dropped to this day. However on a head to head...I think Most def is the better Lyricist and that means alot to me when you're a MC
Facts!
I respectfully disagree my man. I don't think Mos or any other rapper can see 3 stacks on the mic and I love Mos.
I think the only person that was missing from the Kanye documentary was producer Deric “D.Dot” Angelettie of Bad Boy, who put Kanye in the game in the late 90s by taking him under his wing for 3 years. That’s how Kanye ended up working with Mase, Jermaine Dupri, Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown, the Bad Boy camp and he also introduced Kanye to Roc-A-Fella. People never knew about this.
Bro it’s been years I still don’t know how this nigga behind the camera look and I’m ok wit that lmao
Impact conference 2001 in Dallas was the highlight of my music career!!
Mos Def for me. He’s better lyrically and I’ll take Blackstar and BOBS over any OutKast albums.
Mos Def is a better lyricist to me. Black on Both Sides is one of the best rap albums in my opinion.
So is Aquemini... 😕
All is albums are good
Talking about solo albums
Only black on both sides gets played by me
@@dawb86 don’t like aquemini like that
Both Mos Def and Andre are too sweet to be on Joes bitter tounge.
Mos def far as rap ability but andree 3000 is more well rounded versatility
That's close.. but in terms of skill, innovation, originality and lasting influence, Andres 3000 takes this slightly. Love Mos a lot though and is one of my favorites but objectively speaking, 3K got this.
Mos def hands down
Would love to hear Mos Def n Kweli on Brooklyn's Finest.
NYC bias is funny as hell…..the truth is you love mos cause he fits your standard. Stacks is a better MC in every facet.
Only a country bumpkin would say so lol
Facts
3 Stax is better in every way possible!!!!
Mos def is prolly better cuz he has more solo shit to pull from but this is closer
I like them both and I can't pick. Respect to those brothers.
Think they slick trying to correct the title😂 anyways as much as I love Mos Def 3 Stacks as a rapper makes you feel out of this world its like listening to a Poet from another galaxy
Andre never dropped a solo album
@@TheNyion912 and who cares bro all the classic work in OutKast plus all them amazing features at this point I Don t need an album anymore because if he does give one people are probably gonna say it was mid or whatever cuz he waited too long like they do with so much albums these days
@@TheNyion912 mos ain't got 4 classic Lp's with blackstar
@@EazyRocko he’s not too 50 stop making excuses for him being lazy
@@TheNyion912Nigga how is he lazy because he said he was not inspired to make one so u just want him to half ass it
Ice: Yeah he lied..
🤣🤣🤣 WTF lol
I still laughing at how Scarface walked out on Kanye trying to get him on Jesus walks. Guy got to hear family business and mocked it “all that glitters ain’t gold” 🤣
Mos Def > Andre 3000 > Yaasin Bey
Please, my mom from NY , I’m from Florida, it’s always a bias when it comes to NY and the rest of the states
Andre 3000 is up there with Crooked I and Eminem. Most Definitely.
I like mos Def. At one point a lot. But there's nothing he does that pharaoh monch doesn't do better. And Andre 3k is better at those unique flow switching singing rapping styles than both of them.
Agreed, part 1 of the documentary I loved and enjoyed and is such an amazing examination of so many things; perseverance, self belief, the importance of community, music, culture, to name a few. But part 2 and 3 were very hard to watch. I will revisit part 1 often but will probably not watch part 2 and 3 again.
Mwhatvkarts of it make you cringe?
Twista, twista that....how quickly they/we forget Chip-Fu
Mos def, no 1 solo project from 3stacks
💎💎🫡🤝 respect and loyalty goes along Way salute brothers
Both Great Rappers but I think Andres Commercial Success put him on another level
It was a Eurostep back in Jordan days
One has a classic solo album, one does not. Mos
Fair point mos first album he was spitting hot fire daylan daylan daylan
That's the thing; I've never separated 3 Stacks from Outkast, which is why he wouldn't be on my top five, even though The Kast as a group is. Good point.
Mo's Def the best RAPPER from Brooklyn ✌🏾
Andre cause his drip is immaculate
Look at teen summit
One of those tie situations.
You hate it but, sometimes it must be. . .
When Andre 3000 love below drop it was a game charger in hip hop on what would be considered hip hop. Add Outkast as a group and his features he definitely over Mos Def. Truth be told NYC as a whole don't even listen to mos def or roots like that. They probably stayed relevant off industry connections because mos def ain't on anyone top 10. Nas, Big. Jay-z, Cam'ron, mase, The Lox, ghostface, raekwon. Redman, mobb deep etc many names came up in convo in the 90's nyc, but nobody was waiting for a mos def album.
R.I.P. Big L
Mos def for sure
I knew of mos as an actor/artist 1st yrs old
It was nice to see everyone Kanye admittedly “used” on his way up.
3000 more unique 🌊🌊🌊
The only thing people can use against 3 Stacks is that he doesn’t have a solo album.
Mos def got my vote enough said
“Most Def” in the title and the thumbnail? The young guys gonna get it bad
Weird, I was just thinking about this about a week ago while listening to Umi says. Idk, I just like his cadence. His staccato.
I smashed the like button when he said crucial conflict
Remind me. I was locked up but sure I brought a twelve by them when I got out
Andre is better than everybody. My mount Rushmore is DMX, Andre,Ye, Nasir Jones & Ms Lauryn Hill❤
Simple question when was the last time Mos Def did a verse that made you pause and reflect like 3K's on "life if the party"? Don't worry I'll wait......
(PS I'm a huge Mos Def fan)
not for a while but his verses on Education with Freddie Gibbs, the one with A$AP on long.last.A$AP and breathe with navy blue are all solid as hell
Mos catalog speaks for it self. All his albums are solid including The Black Star classic album. Andre is great and up.there with the greatest lyrical MCs.
Mos Def being on 3 Stacks level isn't a conversation in real life except for maybe the NYC area.
You can't be serious
@@nerdbamarich2063 he's not, doesn't mean he's not a legend still.
@@popetaytv they are definitely on the same level. Music is subjective and so are opinions.
@@nerdbamarich2063 of course it's subjective. But if we're being honest in real life the reverence for Andre is way more than what Mos gets, because Andre is on a different level.
@@popetaytv agreed but that doesn't mean he's better. Those are still people's opinions and nothing more. I like them both equally and musically. People's opinions on music isn't supposed to sway you it's all within the ear of the beholder.
I’m the biggest fan of both. It’s super hard to choose but I might lean slightly to 3 stacks
I'm just waiting on this veneer of Andre 3000 to disappear... Niggas really be saying he's the best ever and he can't even outright beat Mos Def... His eccentricity helped him excel in rap. I don't care I don't care, I don't care...
AND dude can act his ass off too, really both can act really well for MC's. MOS was in 6 straight DEXTER EPISODES and killed it
3k’s better but Mos Def is super dope though
That's a tough one, think i like Mos Def more as an all around MC.. they both from different planets though
