Mos Def vs Andre 3000 who is a better rapper

[FreshAIG]

never, not one.

That doesn't make him better. Better to me, means if you compare their best verses who's better?

 

[Anti-Anime]

I'd toss his garbage ass catalog in the without a second thought in exchange for anyone of those first three Kast albums though

Yeah but keeping it solo for solo, you wouldn't take that ass the love below over black on both sides would u?

Mos.


I don't think andre could ever see the Mos that popped up on BoBs.

Actually the fact that Mos actually has a classic solo album should make this pick a lot easier

 

[Grizzly]

Mos

and it's really not that close to me either

 

[bigrodthe1]

Mos Def most definitely. Still early but I'm surprised at how close the poll is. Mind you though, I'm biased and Mos is a top 5 emcee to me. 3K is up there too though when he decides to do what he does.



I'd probably agree he came in 3rd... but he still killed it. But look at that line-up Coming home with the bronze is no loss at all.

EDIT: Those who say 3k never had a wack verse... well that could almost be true... but he never had a solo and only ever had to half a track of rap at most in terms of albums. So there's that.

The Love Below was basically a Solo

Andre 3000 for me. While I like Mos Def, he hasn't been great since Black On Both Sides and while that album is great, the best verses on it aren't better than Andre's best. Outside of lyrics, the only thing Mos has in his favor is delivery.

 

[Wacky D]

not talking catalog, strictly rhyming skills who's better to you

mos def.

cant really compare catalogs anyway since one is solo and the other isn't

if we had more blackstarr albums tho........

3000 and its not even a fair fight. You better off asking who better between mos and talib or qtip.

 

[Zero]

Mos
Pure rhyming monster.

I'd pick 3000 but I can't be mad at this at all

 

[H. Selassie]

Rep + Dap to the OP.
Maaaan...this a tough one.

I've stated before that 98-2000 Mos Def is as dope a emcee as ANYBODY in the history of Rap. That's where it stops though IMO. Andre has been flawlessly weaving super-dope rhymes from 1994 to now.

Vote goes to Andre

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

Prime for prime mos def and it's not even a debate.


Personally BOBS and blackstar>>>>any outkast album



Mos def's verse's on mathematics and theive's in the night>>>>>any Andre verse

 

[Knicksman20]

@spliz @Wild self @THE K-MAN

What do you guys think?

 

[Knicksman20]

3k is nice but like @FreshAIG said from a emcee standpoint he's not seeing Mos. I don't think he could rhyme over a beat like this & do it justice.




3k makes better music though

 

[THE K-MAN]

3 Stacks imo

 

[Nature's Fury]

Prime for prime mos def and it's not even a debate.
