Art that sounds good. Andree has better verses I would argue by far if we want to talk skills flows depth and all. P never spit a verse like Andre in aquemini or 13th floor or sixteen or tons of answers.


P is one of my fav all time too. He’s in my top 5 all time.
Dre never spit a verse like Shook Ones 2 or Hell On Earth or Give Up The Goods or Drop A Gem On 'Em or Keep It Thoro

You talking about style I’m talking bars flow rhymes. IWW Nas is the best ever peak


Nas has been offkey sir.
Plus struggled skth sonic landscape changes.
just like prodigy too.

Like i said make the fukkin thread.
As real talk nas bit kool g rap technical in iww. While never doing anything ground breaking on iww.

Even i ga⁷ve you power is a bite. That when confronted nas said he had no idea .
who organized.
or pharoah was. When paul c was instrumental in large pro. So cut the you just became a rap fan when nas souled't out cap sir.

Like i said. If you wanna make the thread be my guest.

Nas ushered in a technjcal revolution. Yet his technical rubrick and base js an outdated bite of silver fox. Who mentored g rap and ll cool j. Plus had moe dee shook.
So cut the cap.

Of which nas still can not make the girl record. That silver fox revolutionized before ll on the buck stops here.
The same litmus test to emcee'n. Nas fails.
when held to the fire versus rakim.
Rakim who is the fully technical savant of rap.
Not nas.

If so.

Where is nas's mahogany?
or know what's on ya mind for starters

I will wait.

While i am waiting tho.

Cut that nas stan cap bullshyt out.


That imaginary stan studio label plant rapper fascination shyt don't work on me.

I live in the real world.
where i was really rockin mics. freestyle off the head. Plus an advanced savant off the head in technical.
as we as via technical on writtens. I have a ddbut hiphop classic too sir.
Made from Not hide'n in The house. or Needing wet t shirt contest.
to cover up trash skills live on stage. Then dissing and biting the people that created cred for them. Then living off accolades and cyphas of others. Like ya boi.

So stop the cap.

I don't do thr imaginary stan skill assessment as a real grassroots hesdliner. Not a sheltered jiggy sellout label plant rapper doing things in reverse order.

You excuse flaug'n.

I DO NOT.

Prodigy music is the urban soundtrack.

While dre 3k is the soundtrack.

This just proves it's an apples and oranges discussion

Prodigy never spit a verse like Elevators, Rosa Parks, Int'l Players Anthem, The Art of Storytellin parts 1 and 2, Hollywood Divorce, Sixteen, Life of the Party, What a job, etc...

He didn’t. He didn’t really start lyrically exploring that side of living until he was closer to death. No one can put those kinds of feelings in words, for whole songs and verses, so elegantly, and relatably like Dre. P could come pretty close with violent imagery though. P one of my favorites ever.

1995/“Infamous” P combined with his later stage wisdom and lyrical patience would have been something to behold.

It sucks we weren’t able to see it happen.

Elevators is a dope song but Andre’s verses aren’t that special lyrically

Verse 1: André 3000]
One for the money, yes, sir, two for the show
A couple of years ago on Headland and Delowe
Was the start of something good
Where me and my nikka rode the MARTA through the hood
Just tryna find that hookup
Now, every day, we looked up at the ceiling (Yuh)
Watching ceiling fans go 'round, tryna catch that feeling off instrumentals
Had my pencil, and plus, my paper

We caught the 86 Lithonia, headed to Decatur
Writing rhymes, tryna find our spot off in that light
Light off in that spot, knowing that we could rock
Doing the hole-in-the-wall clubs, this shyt here must stop
Like, "Freeze!" We making the crowd move, but we not making no G's, and that's a no-no

Cmon this shyt doesn’t stack up against Prodigy’s epic verses
