Andre 3000.Now before you neon parachute pants net hipsters jump down my throat, here me out :whoa: Is 3K really in the same breath as Nas, Jay, and Em? Dude has been 20 years in and has not dropped a single album. Is that really fair? If we are going by strictly verses and not catalog, then fab and jada are legends also. Honestly I would rank dudes like Lupe, Common, Talib over 3000. Someone change my mind

I will forever respect Dre for his Outkast days...but post 06 and nikkas still mentioning duke as a current hot artist is weird. Its like he beating nikkas up for respect or something behind the scenes. I dont get it.

I feel you, how is it even possible for this guy to be the GOAT? Prodigy was fire from The Infamous to Murda Muzik, one of the best lyricists, and sampled rappers ever, classic verses (Shook Ones, Quiet Storm). He gets no talk as one of the GOATs.

Both guys came from GOAT level duos (Outkast and Mobb Deep), why is 3K put at such a high pedestal? Somebody put me on.

Because 3K never had a wack verse and together with OutKast, he put out 3 certified classics back to back. And two very solid albums.

Plus, he has the whole mystique thing working for him. I got him in my top 3 and that nikka's antics frustrate me to no end.

Personally, I've always seen it as something that people in hip-hop just kind of accepted (:ehh:) than something many people were clamoring to claim, you know?

It's just like...we can't disrespect the Southern legends. They've got lyricists too, so people either go Scarface or 3K. Not in MY top 10, but he fathered a few peoples' styles and had a lot of influence so I can't really blame people who do have him there..

kendrick verse was a play on EM's "till i collapse verse"

I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes, Red G, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy, so when I’m not put on this list the shyt does not offend me.
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fukking problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect you’ve got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me.

[Chorus - NateDogg]

[Verse #3:]
Soon as a verse starts I eat it at MC’s heart
What is he thinking? How not to go against me? Smart.
And it's absurd how people hang on every word.
I’ll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
But I’ll never be served my spot is forever reserved
If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first.
'Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse.
That’s why I’m clever when I put together every verse
My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I’m an addict
I rap like I’m addicted to smack like I’m Kim Mathers.
But I don’t want to go forth and back in constant battles
The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers.
So this is like a full blown attack I’m launching at them
The track is on some battling raps who want some static
'Cause I don’t really think that the fact that I’m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest

I hear u. But until he proves that he can carry an album(a real rap album, not 90% experimental bullshyt)mentioning him as top 5 should stop. What is the hold up with him?

3000's GOAT status is preserved by the fact he birdfeeds choice verses once or twice a year. It's a genius plan actually.
