King Savage Lay down your "edgelord" sword, no need for that. Next time, instead of saying someone is trash, try to come up with a reason to justify your statement, if you want to be taken seriously AND if you know how to do that. Otherwise you're just trolling, not stating an opinion. Since i already saw you commenting the same thing in other topics here on this video, it's clear you're here to talk trash.
I would love to see them do a breakdown on Big Boi. Esp since this year he is planned to release his 3rd studio album as well as the Big Boi and Killer Mike album is supposed to come out as well.
Honestly his album is importantly needed right now to make these kids and the powers that control the rap industry realize how much the true art form has gone off track.Rappers now ah days are true to the hunger of chasing the universal image being pushed as the new industry “ I’m the shit right now” look, you can have all the baller cars,clothes and jewelry but if Andre3000 let one loose...everyone sleeping will be awoken an motherfuckas will have to go back to the drawing board to reassemulate point blank!...Andre3000 is hip hops lock nest monster...you know of him you have heard of him but I promise you can’t fuck wit him.
Big Boi also deserves some major recognition, his rhymes and flows were one of the most versatile all time. After all, it took the two of them to make Outkast!
My mind warps and bends Floats the wind Count to 10 Meet the Twin, Andre Ben Welcome to the lions den Original skin Many men comprehend I extend myself so you go out and tell a friend Sin all depends On what you believing in Faith is what you make it That’s the hardest shit since M.C. Ren Alien can blend Right on in with your kin Look again Cause I swear I spot one every now and then It’s happening again Wish I could tell you when Andre this is Andre Y’all are just gone have to make amends
Even the sun goes down Heroes eventually die, Horoscopes, often lie, And sometimes why? Nothing is for sure, Nothing is for certain, Nothing lasts forever But until they close the curtains, It’s him and I, Aquemini
levi buijnsters Nas is a GOAT too...its hard to pick one over the other especially because Nas has a larger body of work. But my thing is that Andre has Nas beat hard in terms of flows and cadences ... 3K can go otherworldly in those categories
TriLLBeatz 334 yep. He broke the mainstream twice. N.W.A brought rap to the frontline of music, and The Chronic took a lot of the fear away from it. Not only this, but he has brought us Eazy-E, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, and Kendrick Lamar. I mean... woah lol
If 3k was from NY or California he would’ve easily been considered the GOAT but since he’s from Atlanta, GA won’t get that credit. It’s a Atlanta curse but hell, we embrace it and drive on. ATL HO, YEEN KNO.
I’m late as hell but the south in general hasn’t gotten it’s credit until recently with the explosion of Travis Scott and trap music but groups like three 6 mafia, UGK, and goodie mob will never get the credit they Deserve
Been in GA My whole life, come squat with me so you can get your lessons. My mom used to date Andre 3000 before they were famous and he was just doing shows at little lounges.
I think Kweli said it best "Andre 3k is so good that people dont mention him in G.O.A.T. arguements cause its understood. Like what about 3 Stacks? Oh yea of course."
Justin its good to see that you've finally come to you senses. Welcome to the world of reality my friend. Its good to have you. 3k has been the GOAT for a while now.
Alex V corvettes and Lamborghinis are not comparable, you’re literally comparing and American sports car to an Italian car company that’s made, trucks, SUV’s, super cars and HyperCars. Oh yea and one is roughly 30-100 grand and the other is roughly 70 grand-4m 🤣
i was so suprised when K.dot didnt have Dre 3k on his top 5 list. He sounds like he took so much from andre in his music. man like i was convinced he was directly influenced by him. weird
I think for him to have achieved what he has, and have the reputation he has without releasing a solo album just strengthens the argument for him as the GOAT
As far as the quality and profoundness of the message that the rapper is giving us, Andre is without question the greatest to ever do it. Every time I listen to him Im stuck there thinking "How in the world did he write this"... His consciousness is just on another level and his rapping sounds like music. Most rapping just sounds like aggressive poetry, Andre always sounds like a damn piano mixed with a harp mixed with a saxophone mixed with about 100 other things. Hes a genius whos rapping was always about being better than your circumstance, finding whats beautiful in life, doing whats right and not making excuses for yourself. His rap is philosophy and love. He is the GOAT.
Benjamin Schwartz nobody is the greatest somebody can make a video about Jay z being the greatest and you will have tons of comments saying Jay is the goat the king the God SMH. you have your opinion and I have mine nobody is rite or wrong only God knows.
He is the best instrumentalist and best actor ever too. And this dude who made this video is the best youtuber ever. And sh*t bro, let's be honest here... you are the best youtube commenter ever. Don't skimp on the whole wheat dawg.
To me, Andre 3000's best lyrical flow was on "Bombs Over Baghdad" and as a guest lyricist on Cool Breeze's "Watch The Hook." Andre 3000 is at his best while rapping "uptempo style" over fast tracks, similar to Treach, Big Daddy Kane and M.C. Ren.
Gab BRUUUHHH. The whole time I've been listening to damn, I was like, WHERE IS ANDRE? theres a lot of places in damn that I can hear Andre rapping over.
Rootman Junior I've been saying this for the longest 😑 it's so disappointing cause I fucks with them both and they just do Big Boi in time and time again.
He's really good IMO, but i mean, over all of the other attributes he had, which were all a1, his message always kind of lacked, and that is what gave tupac his goat pass despite his lack of lyrical technicality or real variety of flows, he aimed for the heart, just like andré, big boy, well, he's awesome, total badass, but i never felt his shit, I fuck with it, cause you can0t fuck with him, but you can't feel him either
Outkast is finally getting their due as the greatest rap group of all time, and Andre is not only one of the best rappers, but best musicians ever. But it seems no one ever mentions Big Boi in the GOAT conversation. What's up with that? Please break it down!
Big boi even said it himself if him and andre battled he wouldnt stand a chance he said that his boy but andre always out shined him lyrically and he was ok with that. Because it was about the music not who was better then who
I think 3 stacks is amazing but as you said at the end of the video Big Boi is no slouch. just as much credit as 3k is given for those 5 albums he didn't do it alone. some songs in the early years and especially when Dre started to expand his sound I felt like big boi flow really kept them going Dre said it himself the only match is big boi. Point being you can't talk 3k without big boi if Dre the G.O.A.T. then big boi gotta be T.B.E. they can't be separated they must share the crown. Thats the reason people bring up solo albums because otherwise you have to crown the group Outkast is the Goat
On the subject of Andre snatching records. Y'all can't tell me after you would hear Andre's verse you wouldn't start the song over or stop the song all together. 😂
Hands down my favorite. no one could middle syllable rhyme or smooth story flow like him.. years from now he may finally actually be appreciated fully. dude is stay home from school type sick!!
First off the argument is if A3k is the greatest rapper not the greatest solo artist...so he qualifies for the discussion. Next how do you define greatest. To me the greatest would be defined by high quality bars, high variation in style/cadence and style of beat, impact on the game, sales, longevity of legacy, and respect among peers. I honestly don't see who tops 3000. The guy put the South on his back for lyricism, then put the entire Rap game on his back and literally destroyed the boundaries of what a rapper could say, sing, how he could dress, how they produced, etc. Andre 3000 IS the GOAT. No other rapper has ever successfully reconstructed and redifined the boundaries of hip hop like Andre 3000, I challenge anyone to say that any other rapper has done what he has done. His legacy lived on through Lil' Wayne and Young Thug, Kendrick, Kid Cudi, Kanye, Lady Gaga...etc.
spainman2020 Most rappers that have been mentioned in the category of GOAT are legitimately great! Biggie, Pac, Jay, Em, A3k, Nas, Pun, G Rap, Rakim, KRS One, I even throw Lupe Fiasco in the bunch, him and others get left out but it goes to show you that there are so many elite level stratospheric level MC's or lyricists, but this attribute among all of the other attributes that we use for greatness is actually much more attainable than the other measurements mentioned in my previous post. 99% of the elite level rappers are lyrically phenomenal no question and could probably tie for first on lyricism. But take the other elements and compare them to Andre 3000 and they come up short without much of an argument.
bigdap100 True. It sort of also shows the down south biases that people have, if Outkast were NY rappers I dare to say they'd be in more discussions, and thats coming from a NY rap loving dude. Its easy to say hes one of the best in the south, but put him in a Nas/Em/Pac/Jay conversation and many would be like woah hold on... but the truth is u got a point,and we could easily put together a quick 100 list of elite emcees... Black Thought, both De La emcees, Most Def... even Luda. Whats tripping me out is reading through comments of people saying he aint top 5 or hell to one person... top 30. Im like these folks are either crazy or really dont have an ear for who is truly gifted in the craft of putting words to together to communicate a thought thats worth digesting.
it's not that I completely disagree with this comment, but I honestly think this is a slap in the face to Big Boi. Andre is great, but Big Boi has also made major contributions to those albums. Not only did he add a harder edge, he was the one coming up with song concepts and writing a lot of the hooks. I'll even go as far as to say a lot of his verses were on par with Andre's and sometimes even better.
@@dillon6320 yeah i listen to mumble rap. madvillany is not my favourite album, 3 stacks is not my favourite artist, earl sweatshirt, danny brown and freddie gibbs arent my favourite rappers. im dumb cause i listen to mumble rap, i 100% agree i cant have an opinion on the fucking internet
I've always said there is no single GOAT. There are several GOATS but they're all so different and amazing at what they do. Trying to compare Ice Cube to Andre seems unfair

"I can't wait" - Andre 3000 AKA Chamelio Salamander This verse is one of the most memorable from 3000 in my opinion.
As far as vocals, it's Pastor Troy who I'd call the prince of southern Hip Hop. Drew Down was Bootsy Collins, Mystikal was James Brown, and Pastor Troy was Prince.
I'm mad I'm so late to this video but I've always said André was the GOAT his level of artistry is over worldly his pen, vocals, musical talent with other instruments like the overall craft he possesses is untouched and it's always bothered me that he is consistently being written off top tier lists because he doesn't have a solo album if someone on the level of MF Doom has given him his props why is the "not having a solo album" such a big deal every time we hear André he never disappoints (besides like 3 verses i can think of) on top of the fact who else can we say has truly stood the test of time but is considered a great Big and Pac haven't(music wise) Nas hasn't Pun hasn't Mos Def hasn't Dre hasn't (even tho he's made great investments and is beyond rich) Like all the list goes on and on of these remarkable talents that just get forgotten about in the newer generations but André is still here collaborating with some of the biggest names in the industry growing up I've always considered biggie was the GOAT(I'm from NY so i'm biased, but biggies flow is untouchable to me) but André reached a level so many others haven't even tho there's no telling where Big or Pac would've gone if they were still here, but this is getting long to sum everything up Three Stacks is that nigga lol
Josh Orr-Fahey shut up about Eminem 🙄 He only raps MORE... not better. Especially not better than Mos Def. Mr Nigga and Mathematics alone is light years ahead of everything he ever wrote. I swear ya'll Stans bring him up in every conversation... we ain't forget about him but he hasn't had a fully listenable album since The Eminem Show... Recovery was OK but damn ya'll have overrated him since then. Anything he does gets overhyped and anything Andre 3000 does gets underrated. Facts We know enough about hip hop to decide for ourselves who is the greatest
Source awards back in 95. Since y’all were beefing east and west. But the south! Triple 6 mafia, project pat, keke, Zro, big hawk master P, UGK! I’m not even done! Ha “if the south gots something to say then that’s all I gotta say” -Andre 3000
HipHopDX nice also you should talk bout their beef. that beef was one of the longs beef of all time and had a lot diss track towards each other. you should also talk about ruthless version deathrow. i like ruthless more just to let everyone know
Andre is a creative genius, not just a great rapper. It is very artistic and reminds me of Prince in his ability to express himself in multiple medias. Given the opportunity to conquer various artistic outlets, we have yet to see the heights he will rise to.
Alternative Facts. There's an entire portion at the end where I talk about how Big Boi may have a better argument for being the GOAT considering he has solo albums.
Big Boi is the Phife Dog of Outkast....great lyricist, but gets less shine because his counterpart has 1% better lyrics, a more distinct voice, a wider vision which stretches even into production, and more mainstream appeal. Bottom line, they both kill it, but Dre wins by one vote.
I seriously used 2 deny that Andre was the Goat, but this video may have swayed my perspective. You know you're one of the best MC's of all time if not one person has even attempted to diss you. Andre is an amazing writer and musical genius but sadly he still ain't the Goat 2 me personally, but if someone else thought he was, at least I could understand why. Great video as always
My thing is ppl have to stop saying "oh these niggas are old." That shit is wack. Ppl grow up! Redman new cd is banging! But you dont hear about cause he's in his 40's..
Danilo Escobar People have considered all of Outkasts albums to be Goats. Sadly ATCQ doesn't come into consideration as much. MF Doom has a higher shot than them.
Well it's the M-I-crooked letter, ain't no one better · And when I'm on the microphone you best to wear your sweater. Cause I'm cooler than a polar bear's toenails... Big Boi has one of the best verses of all time... They would have never been had they not had each other.
As great as Andre 3000 is and his lyrical talents unparalleled, everything he achieved he did it with Big Boi so you can't just isolate the successes of Outkast as Andre's success.
Sebastien Benjamin Wu-Tang is a group... and one person has been on here. Redman had a video, however personally I think Method Man is the best of Wu-Tang.
Andre 3k never had a weak verse
Dread Chapo NEVER
HipHopDX keep making these videos! I hope my music is featured one day
The Ole Playa Kendrick verse on BITTSM kinda wack bro lmao
Dread Chapo neeeeeva
The Ole Playa Kendrick only got one wack verse ive heard ever
anytime i hear andre in a feature, he's always the best part of the track.
dreaminginnoother 3 stacks steals the whole track.
Wish they could do a 16 aint enough remix feat Andre, Blackthought, Nas, and King los and each one of them get 3 verses with that beat just on loop.
He stole DoYaThing for 13 minutes 😂

Surely I'm not the only who thinks Big Boi is underrated.....
I would love to see them do a breakdown on Big Boi. Esp since this year he is planned to release his 3rd studio album as well as the Big Boi and Killer Mike album is supposed to come out as well.
kooleyBear me too....It's just hard me clearly say 3stacks is the GOAT when Big Boi is spitting (IMO) just as great as he is....
big boi, killa mike, rass kass, busta rhymes red man, the doc and sick jacken among many are very underrated
yes Big Boi is so slept on cause of Dre.. but his verses are cold AF too
ScoobyBlu Brew big boi's flows are ridiculously good! The first verse on da art of storytellin is ILL

No it wouldn't. Unless by destroy rap you mean that it would be a pop music album.

Outkast is finally getting their due as the greatest rap group of all time, and Andre is not only one of the best rappers, but best musicians ever. But it seems no one ever mentions Big Boi in the GOAT conversation. What's up with that? Please break it down!
Big boi even said it himself if him and andre battled he wouldnt stand a chance he said that his boy but andre always out shined him lyrically and he was ok with that. Because it was about the music not who was better then who
I consider Big Boi Scottie Pippin, and Andre 3000 is MJ
Did someone say Wu Tang
I think 3 stacks is amazing but as you said at the end of the video Big Boi is no slouch. just as much credit as 3k is given for those 5 albums he didn't do it alone. some songs in the early years and especially when Dre started to expand his sound I felt like big boi flow really kept them going Dre said it himself the only match is big boi. Point being you can't talk 3k without big boi if Dre the G.O.A.T. then big boi gotta be T.B.E. they can't be separated they must share the crown. Thats the reason people bring up solo albums because otherwise you have to crown the group Outkast is the Goat
izzysllim I still listen to Outkast for Andre's parts
andre 3000 will make a better album if he was doing it byhimself but who do you thnk is the goat
Andre 3k last verse on Elevators was one of the best I have ever heard..
Agreed
Lmao so, Andre 3000 can be the Goat with no solo albums yet for some reason its hard for people to give eminem that title as well?
- TheBeastFrenchie - lmao you must be new here, go on their "eminem=the greatest rapper of all time" video and look at the comments
thedondon911911 Eminem is garbage
- TheBeastFrenchie - Em definitely ain't in my top 5.

On the subject of Andre snatching records. Y'all can't tell me after you would hear Andre's verse you wouldn't start the song over or stop the song all together. 😂
Hammermill619 and study that shit. Till this day he's the only rapper I can't follow or write a verse like. He's too damn unpredictable
Outkast is one of my favorite groups of any genre of all time.
I wish he had more music.. im praying he releases all his music
100% FACTS
He’s just an overall good artist, with tracks like roses and prototype he transcends being a rapper
Hands down my favorite. no one could middle syllable rhyme or smooth story flow like him.. years from now he may finally actually be appreciated fully. dude is stay home from school type sick!!
Bruh your shirt game is incredible where can I get that 3stacks shirt you got on

Hands down, he’s untouchable
First off the argument is if A3k is the greatest rapper not the greatest solo artist...so he qualifies for the discussion. Next how do you define greatest. To me the greatest would be defined by high quality bars, high variation in style/cadence and style of beat, impact on the game, sales, longevity of legacy, and respect among peers. I honestly don't see who tops 3000. The guy put the South on his back for lyricism, then put the entire Rap game on his back and literally destroyed the boundaries of what a rapper could say, sing, how he could dress, how they produced, etc. Andre 3000 IS the GOAT. No other rapper has ever successfully reconstructed and redifined the boundaries of hip hop like Andre 3000, I challenge anyone to say that any other rapper has done what he has done. His legacy lived on through Lil' Wayne and Young Thug, Kendrick, Kid Cudi, Kanye, Lady Gaga...etc.
That's a strong argument you laid out here. Damn near worth copy/pasting into my replies to the detractors in this comment section lol.
spainman2020 Most rappers that have been mentioned in the category of GOAT are legitimately great! Biggie, Pac, Jay, Em, A3k, Nas, Pun, G Rap, Rakim, KRS One, I even throw Lupe Fiasco in the bunch, him and others get left out but it goes to show you that there are so many elite level stratospheric level MC's or lyricists, but this attribute among all of the other attributes that we use for greatness is actually much more attainable than the other measurements mentioned in my previous post. 99% of the elite level rappers are lyrically phenomenal no question and could probably tie for first on lyricism. But take the other elements and compare them to Andre 3000 and they come up short without much of an argument.
bigdap100 True. It sort of also shows the down south biases that people have, if Outkast were NY rappers I dare to say they'd be in more discussions, and thats coming from a NY rap loving dude. Its easy to say hes one of the best in the south, but put him in a Nas/Em/Pac/Jay
conversation and many would be like woah hold on... but the truth is u got a point,and we could easily put together a quick 100 list of elite emcees... Black Thought, both De La emcees, Most Def... even Luda.
Whats tripping me out is reading through comments of people saying he aint top 5 or hell to one person... top 30. Im like these folks are either crazy or really dont have an ear for who is truly gifted in the craft of putting words to together to communicate a thought thats worth digesting.
it's not that I completely disagree with this comment, but I honestly think this is a slap in the face to Big Boi. Andre is great, but Big Boi has also made major contributions to those albums. Not only did he add a harder edge, he was the one coming up with song concepts and writing a lot of the hooks. I'll even go as far as to say a lot of his verses were on par with Andre's and sometimes even better.
bigdap100 u forgot originality, no one is like outkast
Andre 3000 and Killer Mike are southern rap gods.
Placcid Ninja it was on "Hood politics " from TPAB
Dungeon family baby
Add Scareface & Bun B. to that list.
Andre yes but killer Mike no
Lil Wayne has to be included
Andre is the G.O,A.T.... He stretches his art where most rappers stay within a box.
so, what this dude kept saying... "but he still doesnt have a solo album" .... he doesnt even need one. if anything that reinforces why hes the best.
You should do a GOAT on MF DOOM
Zohfar_ No where near being the GOAT.
Zohfar_ agreed
Serial Ape-ist shut up
TYRONE NASTY Nah
he is above and beyond being the GOAT. Most creative witty and intelligent rapper of all time imo.
I'm not the biggest 3000 fan but the fact that he doesn't have a solo rap album and people still consider him the goat says something
Only rapper that never flopped on a album. And bar for bar can be compared to anybody verse for verse.
Andre 3k is in your Top 5s Top 5
Best guest features G.O.A.T.s Andre 3000 and Busta Rhymes

He gets a mention from Eminem being one of his favs also. I didnt hear you mention it.

The Love Below is a solo album in my book
Andre is DEFINITIVELY AND UNDISPUTED the GOAT MC that doesn't have a solo album. And maybe that's better than disputed as being the GOAT in general.
I think that Andre 3000 is the best rapper of all time
King Savage why you here then?? Gtfo
JIGOKU KIRA He never once mentioned Tupac
Oscar Solis who asked for your opinion? No one
JIGOKU KIRA It isn’t an opinion. It’s a cold hard fact. The man never mentioned Tupac.
Oscar Solis why the fuck are you still talking to me?
Andre was one of the first rappers to incorporate non hiphop elements into his music
MrKing8050 ever hear of sampling
shady hodge 😂😂😂
MrKing8050 lmfao 3000 my personal favorite of all time but you buggin hard G
Definitely not. Q-Tip, Pete Rock, Premier all used non rap elements in their music. Even Run DMC.
HolyRollerTV Good mentions! How could I forget Jazzmatazz?
He Killed T.I Album "SORRY"🤷🏾♂️
And T.I acknowledged it publically.😃
I've always said there is no single GOAT. There are several GOATS but they're all so different and amazing at what they do. Trying to compare Ice Cube to Andre seems unfair
Andre is defiantly one of the GOATS

"I can't wait" - Andre 3000 AKA Chamelio Salamander
This verse is one of the most memorable from 3000 in my opinion.
facts
One of my all time favorite verses
Easily one of the best verses of all time and personally my fav.
Xion I YEZZIR
Xion I what song was this one I can't remember right now
Andre 3000 is like the Prince (the singer) of hip hop!
U dont understand what princes contribution to music. He came out of the closet and wore prince costumes. That doesnt make him the prince of hiphop
As far as vocals, it's Pastor Troy who I'd call the prince of southern Hip Hop. Drew Down was Bootsy Collins, Mystikal was James Brown, and Pastor Troy was Prince.
Andre rapped alongside Big Boi, certified top 50 MCs of all time and yet monopilizes the conversation. That's a testament to his greatness.
I'm mad I'm so late to this video but I've always said André was the GOAT his level of artistry is over worldly his pen, vocals, musical talent with other instruments like the overall craft he possesses is untouched and it's always bothered me that he is consistently being written off top tier lists because he doesn't have a solo album if someone on the level of MF Doom has given him his props why is the "not having a solo album" such a big deal every time we hear André he never disappoints (besides like 3 verses i can think of) on top of the fact who else can we say has truly stood the test of time but is considered a great Big and Pac haven't(music wise) Nas hasn't Pun hasn't Mos Def hasn't Dre hasn't (even tho he's made great investments and is beyond rich) Like all the list goes on and on of these remarkable talents that just get forgotten about in the newer generations but André is still here collaborating with some of the biggest names in the industry growing up I've always considered biggie was the GOAT(I'm from NY so i'm biased, but biggies flow is untouchable to me) but André reached a level so many others haven't even tho there's no telling where Big or Pac would've gone if they were still here, but this is getting long to sum everything up Three Stacks is that nigga lol
And what would those 3 verse be?
Uzi better than that nigga tho
Josh Orr-Fahey shut up about Eminem 🙄
He only raps MORE... not better. Especially not better than Mos Def. Mr Nigga and Mathematics alone is light years ahead of everything he ever wrote.
I swear ya'll Stans bring him up in every conversation... we ain't forget about him but he hasn't had a fully listenable album since The Eminem Show... Recovery was OK but damn ya'll have overrated him since then. Anything he does gets overhyped and anything Andre 3000 does gets underrated.
Facts
We know enough about hip hop to decide for ourselves who is the greatest
All the other GOATs (Jay, Nas, Em etc) all state he's the best lyricist. Its an industry known fun fact. Most fans don't know however
3 stacks brings balance to the hip hop game.
Source awards back in 95. Since y’all were beefing east and west. But the south! Triple 6 mafia, project pat, keke, Zro, big hawk master P, UGK! I’m not even done! Ha “if the south gots something to say then that’s all I gotta say”

Eli covarrubias just quick
HipHopDX nice also you should talk bout their beef. that beef was one of the longs beef of all time and had a lot diss track towards each other. you should also talk about ruthless version deathrow. i like ruthless more just to let everyone know
Andre is a creative genius, not just a great rapper. It is very artistic and reminds me of Prince in his ability to express himself in multiple medias. Given the opportunity to conquer various artistic outlets, we have yet to see the heights he will rise to.
how did you not bring up sorry -T.i. ft Andre 3000 the murdered T.I imo
I don't know if Andre 3000 is the goat, but he's definitely one of the most fun to listen to.
Not THE goat
But definitely one of them
Could definitely be included in top 20 to 10 of all time
Top 5 man... who has better delivery+lyrics+content+creativity+albums+riding music+singles+culture+stories+beats????
Mars Fox where is Kendrick?
Mars Fox no
He's the GOAT and probably the only artist that never been diss fawwkumean
i swear, big boi super underated. not one mention of him on this video.
Alternative Facts. There's an entire portion at the end where I talk about how Big Boi may have a better argument for being the GOAT considering he has solo albums.
Big Boi is the Phife Dog of Outkast....great lyricist, but gets less shine because his counterpart has 1% better lyrics, a more distinct voice, a wider vision which stretches even into production, and more mainstream appeal. Bottom line, they both kill it, but Dre wins by one vote.
big boi is a better rapper but Andre's sound and flow is better most of the time
thats just a contradiction. Isn't sound and flow what makes a good rapper?
He is a grown man pretending to be a pimp.
3 Stacks is the 🐐. Facts.
I seriously used 2 deny that Andre was the Goat, but this video may have swayed my perspective. You know you're one of the best MC's of all time if not one person has even attempted to diss you. Andre is an amazing writer and musical genius but sadly he still ain't the Goat 2 me personally, but if someone else thought he was, at least I could understand why. Great video as always
Respect 💯
Why is rap the only genre that has an age limit?
Kinghercules It's because it was started by young adults and frequently changed to keep adults out of it.
My thing is ppl have to stop saying "oh these niggas are old." That shit is wack. Ppl grow up! Redman new cd is banging! But you dont hear about cause he's in his 40's..
Kinghercules Good question? I've asking that question for years.
Eminem is 44 but if he dropped an album everyone would still listen to it
Kinghercules IKR lol
Damn Brotha! You spat facts like a Three Stacks track! This is me subscribing.
tony b salute!!
Rapper, singer, producer, he did it all. The fact that he was so unafraid of pushing the limits. 3 stacks is by far my favorite artist.

Outkast has the best discography in hip hop. That's a fact.
TooMuchEdge ATCQ has a better and more influential catalogue. Easily.
Danilo Escobar
Not at all. They aren't nearly as good lyrically and Outkast has sooo many classics.
TooMuchEdge I agree. Outkast, in particular Andre, is a special emcee. But there catalogue doesn't stack up to Tribe bro. Respectfully.
Danilo Escobar
People have considered all of Outkasts albums to be Goats. Sadly ATCQ doesn't come into consideration as much. MF Doom has a higher shot than them.
TooMuchEdge Kanye?
Well it's the M-I-crooked letter, ain't no one better · And when I'm on the microphone you best to wear your sweater. Cause I'm cooler than a polar bear's toenails... Big Boi has one of the best verses of all time... They would have never been had they not had each other.
"no one's ever dissed him"
uh oh
Young Thug?
😂
Thugger 😭
As great as Andre 3000 is and his lyrical talents unparalleled, everything he achieved he did it with Big Boi so you can't just isolate the successes of Outkast as Andre's success.
success of outkast is def 50/50 , but we may never get a rapper like 3k ever with that creativity bag
Andre 3,000 is the greatest rapper of all time. Probably one of the greatest musical artists of all time.
@Selah7 hahaha man, so smart from you part to say "you're a millennial". Well, tell us other great musical acts to compare them.
Andre 3000 been the best since southernplayalistic...
The speakerboxx/lovebelow is a two solo albums package as one so yes he does have a solo album.
3 years later and this video is still super relevant

Wu Tang Clan should be on the next G.O.A.T
Sebastien Benjamin Wu-Tang is a group... and one person has been on here. Redman had a video, however personally I think Method Man is the best of Wu-Tang.
ODB and Method Man
Sebastien Benjamin Method, Deck, Rae, Ghost, and GZA. The rest were GARBAGE!
Blake Wittenberg Redman aint actually a legit Wu Tang member tho. He's just associated thru his work with Meth
theres like 12 people in wu
Have thought this for a long time. Thank you for this video.
