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


how!?!!!!!


you can't even compare a three time classic solo emcee to a group guy.
where said artist. ramped to a completely different sonic landscape.
after failing in the previous sonic landscape. to comeback with a run of argueably three classic SOLO lps.

versus,...a group dynamic rapper.
who refuses to even make solo material.

dre 3k does not even have the solo material to even qualify him as a solo artist incomparison to prodigy as an emcee.

prodigy by pre-req does three times the volume of material, incomparison for just starters logistically.

Yes, I think Prodigy is a better lyricist than Andre 3000.

Because Prodigy struggled with the pain of health and family issues.

And Andre 3000 serenades strangers in American airports with a strange looking flute and colored spectacles.

Ti did not pen that shyt.
you like from ti breh.

Members to this community wrote for ti. Plus others.



Now as far as the discussion.


prodigy Was better in timeline.

Prodigy also was an actual solo artist.
Who assailed from a group
as a critical acclaimed solo artist with three classic solo records.
Plus actual solo classic submissions as songs.
Plus ramped twice.
by being original and not biting.

Alternatively if souls of mischief never pops. There is no outkast original skill level. As their skill level was made.
from being inferior biters to souls of mischief.
Where are the emcee moments from dre as well.
plus how is anyone.
gonna prop a group rapper. Over a group rapper.
who became an actual legendary solo artist.

Dre has no solo record. Nor did he produce three verses a record.
as a pre-req as a solo artist. As well as dre always had a sound board and an entire collective. To crrate brain trust for their records. Where they operated as a group.
On no day. Is an unproven group rapper. On the same level as a several times over classic making SOLO EMCEE. Especually if said solo rapper was a group standout. Then migrated to making 48 bar written rhyne verses. Then make a solo debut classic showing and proving as an emcee. Not a fukkin rnb doo wop commercial sellout close to fukkin cross dressin.
You nikkaz need to address several elephants in rhe room in this.

One.
Dre is not a solo.
Never made records as a solo artist. without group input or concept.
never wrote 48 bar three verse solos.
Never made a solo rap hook record devoid of commercial sellout singing and shyt.
androgynous pagan imagery with no fukkin explanation.
that lends to lack of knowledge of self at all if ever. [Alternatively prodigy was more sound and had knowledgr of self. Dre just plays dress up because the region lacks urban intellectualism. As well as resistant to hiphop culture grassroots.
Plus violated hiphop history.
at the core mores and norms of the new school way of thought.

Alternatively.
as a solo artist.

Prodigy killed the mixtape scene with fat joe and nas stalking jayz.
Punishing jay for ducking. Where jay was split from multi attack. Plus by war of attrition. Lead to nas taking out jay.

Dre never did none of the Solo emcee shyt.
Prodigy did.
I struggle to crown him.
as anything devoid of a collective.
plus never developed nuffij devoid if ssid collective.
While prodigy was split from his collective. Even took disses on rge chin from said collective.
While alternativrly PR has always said dre and big boi lived at odds. Ever since the rap pages interview.
when elevators dropped
That clearly show the internal group juxtaposition between grouo members.

So how can i crown an emcee as better. When they never did nuffin profound as a solo emcee and technical marvel.
including Bit.
Plus i have never been impressed. To the fact.

that hypothetically.
If dre was white.

I doubt people would even give props. As dre is nuffin more.
than the same emo rappers. People diss anticon and atmosphere for as casuals.
While being culturally egregious on a level.
that even anticon slash atmosphere never has done.

Facts.

Andre is a weirdo. He's been chasing gimmicks his whole career, he's a cosplayer. There is nothing original behind that. I can go to one of those comic con events where people dress up as movie, anime, video game, comic book characters. And if I told those people that their costumes are some of the most creative shyt they have ever created they would think I am stupid for not knowing that they are pretending to be a character created by somebody else. Yet Outkast fans think that Andre is one the most creative musicians out there.....because he dressed up in bunch of outfits he copied from others and bit their music too.

Matter of fact he don't even like Hip Hop. Doing all that elitist BS and disrespecting his fans. Still no solo record yet and he thinks doing that lame ass flute shyt is him "evolving" as an artist. Weirdos have that narcissism.

P took his craft serious, did not need gimmicks to sell more records and he wrote some of the dopest lyrics. Fans from all over the world respect what Prodigy brought to the table....meanwhile Andre copies Shuggie Otis "Strawberry Letter 23" and thinks there is some musical genius behind it :mjlol:
