Matter of preference. I say Dre because his style is so diverse and subject matter and everything. If they was battling or some shyt, it would be Prodigy. But that doesn’t determine the better lyricist in regards to the actual music. Prodigy was incredible tho

That was a great album. Very cohesive and thematic

But he wasn't "spazzing" on any of the tracks. Flow content and presentation was basic. It worked and worked well. But he wasnt talkin bout shyt or styling on thst album.

And i loved that album








These are 3 great songs of that return of the mac where he was supposedly "spazzing"

And i love this album. Im not dissing him. Even at Prodigy's best , hes limited (not saying this album is his best, to be clear)

i got three stacks by a country mile


How and prodigy did three times the work.
every song as a three time classic solo artist.
beyond two solo classics and two group classics.
that include the goat double album as well.


I am waiting on you motherfukkers to qualify. Dre as this solo artist.

You'd get laughed out the room for even making this comparison in the 90s

P was the best emcee on the planet at one point

If Andre was from the east he'd be seen like Inspectah Deck


inspectah deck is better than andre 3k easy.
andre 3k is nowhere near deck at all.


where is this solo work that deck did.
as a matter of fact.
on just posse debut features.

where is andre's perfect debut verse like deck.
just as a group emcee.
let alone a solo.
where once again.
deck has done three times the work minus a collective as a solo artist.


y'all be talking about crowning nikkaz who never emcee'd for real too.

not one motherfukk'n moment off the head or as an emcee past gangsta rap pimp verses mixed with the cliche derivative ice cube sorrow filled where my homies remorse record. just with soft shoe la reid style rnb and offbrand funk.

no emcee shyt besides southern mulligan scoring and graded on a curve rap bullshyt semantics.

prodidy was never a culture based emcee in the styles war era.
prodigy ramped during the post technical renaissance ushered in by nas.
from previously being a culturally wack commercial booty song luke record for kids group.
yet prodigy ramped to best in the game as an adult emcee.
devoid of pimp biter commercialism, and rnb rap and bullshyt hooks.
that were culturally given passes because of region.
plus were souls of mischief biters that were far from up to snuff.

mind you....on no day nowhere.
has andre dropped a phesto level verse as a souls of mischief biter.
when andre dropped in the tail end of the style war era.
yet was nowhere near a standout at all.
before being given sway for switching from a dab pimp hat.
to a hadji style wrap, that was more arab slave master than actual cultural expression as well.

which leads to offbrand emasculating culturally divisive appearances and wardrobe as well.
that are completely taboo in hiphop at the core mores and norms of the new school way of thought too tho.
