[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

tough one but ill say this

hell on earth p
aquemini 3k
rd hov
life after big

dogg food kurupt

those the peaks that you can put up in the air randomly and say rapping wise was the best and you wouldnt be wrong

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

and that shyt he said about kast being regarded highly because they was the first ones from the south was wakk

that belong to scarface… face is highkey mid

 

[head shots101]

Yes

 

[Allen Poe]

fukk no, not even close. There is a very small handful of emcees who you could even consider as being better lyricists than Andre, and P is not one of them

 

[u mad son?]

Hell yeah, he says the most without rambling and going overboard.

 

[NYC Rebel]

P after Murder music borderline wack and it pains me to say that.

He revived himself on HNIC.....but the fall off cannot be denied.

Prodigy was my favorite 90s MC, over BIG and everyone when he was in his prime.

 

[KingTxo]

Should add a poll OP.

I put infamous and Hell on earth era prodigy as a top 5 rapper of all time.

 

[Amo Husserl]

Andre 3K had a run from the dungeon to outer space and back...
Iono if Prodigy touchin' that. 3K had Space is the Place bars.
3K probably the first hip-hop astronaut. Prodigy is solid, 3K is a different animal.

 

[Groundworks]

Prodigy is the greatest lyricist of all time. No-one is getting close to him in my opinion

 

[Damnshow]

Prodigy. This forum loves to overrate Andre the Squidward lol

Prodigy at least had some solo run outside of Mobb Deep unlike Andre who never did shyt as a solo artist.

In his prime Prodigy was also a better lyricist. Dressing funny and cosplaying artists from the past did not make Andre a better lyricist.

 

[H. Selassie]

nah and i love Prodigy

P after Murder music borderline wack and it pains me to say that.

 

[Braman]

Nah this is a valid question.

You can even argue it should be the other way around. ‘Could Andre 300k be better than Prodigy’ Bc who says Andre is the ‘A’ side

 

[bzb]

gonna b difficult to get a unbiased opinion. ny brehs never really respected southern rappers. southern brehs felt like they were never heard or respected.

that said, this ain't an easy one. hard to compare because their styles and music are so different. both greats. almost comes down to which music you're in the mood for.

If you gotta say “In his prime”

You ain’t gotta say that about 3K cause he never fell off.

Aside from HNIC, Prodigy is unlistenable as a solo artist. It’s like he forgot to rap and flow. His songs sounded like he was talking.

 

[Patrick Kane]

P by far lol not really close either

He just has more records where he goes absolutely crazy rapping his ass off. Like jaw dropping shyt. 3 Stacks never gave me that feeling
