Other than the first Outkast album, there is not one Andre verse that I don’t know and have cocked and ready to spit.
HE’S ALSO A SMART MOFO FOR IMPREGNATING ERYKAH BADU.
yea, dudes been a beast
Question: Was Big Boi ever better than Dre?
Im ready to be the man who does that cover for 3k, waiting for the COMMAND!
One of tha greats.
Twan & Dre are in diff categories to me
Whoever did the cover deserves and award. Shit is so dope!
when he was at his best, before the singing, i don’t think anybody could touch him…and i mean nobody…
Anyone else having trouble downloading this?
big boi did say andre was in the studio working on his album on saturday so we can only hope
i was hoping under the picture it would say “…back!”
:(
Hopefully there is a few unreleased stuff. And no Entourage today?
andre is weak. his flow is horrible. he looks gay. he dress metrosexual. not for us real-real hood gangsta niggaz
Answer: why is hip hop still packed with lyrics, substance topped off with complete relevance. Question: Who is Andre 3 Stacks……….
@ dragonballs
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game
To stimulate then activate the left and right brain
Said baby boy you only funky as your last cut
You focus on the past your ass’ll be a has what
Thats one to live by or either that one to die to
I try to just throw it at you determine your own adventure
Andre, got to her station here’s my destination
She got off the bus, the conversation lingered in my head for hours
Took a shower kinda sour cause my favorite group ain’t comin with it
But I’m witcha you cause you probably goin through it anyway
But anyhow when in doubt went on out and bought it
Cause I thought it would be jammin but examine all the flawsky-wawsky
Awfully, it’s sad and it’s costly, but that’s all she wrote
And I hope I never have to float in that boat
Up shit creek it’s weak is the last quote
That I want to hear when I’m goin down when all’s said and done
And we got a new joe in town
When the record player get to skippin and slowin down
All yawl can say is them niggas earned that crown but until then till’ then
I would love to your top 5 create a better verse than this.
^^ I think you’re on the wrong site bro
My comment was @ Dragonballs
3 stacks go hard em better tho so is lupe
^^that shit didnt even rhyme half way through out. I dare you to find anything from andre that tops Look Like Jesus
Man this is fuckin ill!
Dre 3 stacks is the best rapper alive by far. Shit they released in 94 is still killin shit these lames droppin today
this kind of material is the best! its like “THE BEST OF”. basically all you were ever looking for in one place. shake you are the dopest as always for providing this. and to the other dj’s amen to yall, good lookin out!
@DragonBalls download this shit listen to each song twice (cuz you seem slow) and if you still dont think hes 1 of the best go eat a dick and then kill yourself
My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to ten
meet the twin Andre Ben. welcome to the lion’s den
original skin many men comprehend
I extend myself so you go out & tell a friend
Sin all depends on what you believing in
Faith is what you make it that’s the hardest shit since MC Ren
Alien can blend right on in wit’ yo’ kin
look again ’cause I swear I spot one every now & then
It’s happenin’ again wish I could tell you when
Andre this is Andre y’all just gon’ have to make amends
his verse from international player’s anthem not on this bitch?…shit still dope though
I get more head than a shampoo
Nicki Minaj
get it? sham, poo?…
@DragonBalls I really want you to go kill yourself. Seriously. I’m gonna pray about it. I just hope you don’t produce any children before you jump in front of a car.
No Throw Some D’s? And his verse on Walk It Out is bananas as well…
But his best verse is on Art of Storytellin’ part 1. One of my all-time favorite verses.
His verse on players ball is legit easily one of my favorites also “Life in the day of Benjamin Andre” is dope as hell i remember me and my homies listening to that track on repeat all the time and we were only in fifth grade when “Speakerboxx/The Love Below” came out.
^^ can cosign with that. That “Life in the day of B.A” was pure crack. 3k is ahead of all these pop rappers ie. (Radio rappers)
Andre is the best rapper period!!!! Big Boi was always dope also,the only song he sound better then dre was Wheelz of steel,and they was spittn back to back. But Dre is a beast!! Lupe is kinda weird…that last album he dropped only made sense to him.
@dragonballs did you just say f’uck hip-hop did you just disrespect the death of 2pac thats what it sound like saying Andre 3000 is wack dude you need a gun down your throat and think about what you just said shfh @dragonballs
I’m trying to decide if I want to download this. I approve this, because this is from one fan to another. My favorite quote: I meet Muslims, Gangstas, Bitches, Rastas, and Macaroni niggas………Impastas.
@DragonBalls your mother didnt raise you right you need to go to church and ask the lord to forgive you
best rapper alive!!!! Andre 3000 im buying like 5 copys if he drops a solo album
My personal GOAT. Cannot wait for a solo from him.
DOPE! 3STAKS IS ONE OF THE GODS OF HIP HOP!
great post if u aint on 3K plz download
hes got too many great songs to mention , yea id have to say hes my favourite rapper , number 1 imo
You guys replying to DragonBalls are stupid. Stop wasting your time, he’s only fuckin’ with yall.
Andre saved my life.
thanks again 4 the post listenin to it..
man this brings back memories..they are soooo awsome outkast..and andre is just the best rapper ever in my opinion. and yes i love and respect the rappers older that paved the way. but hes my personal fave..they opened sooo many doors..fathered so many styles and fathered so much originality they are a group that truly define “being ahead of your time” and “originality”. let the funk live on. thanks big boi and dre.
Mr. Andre< hey cool site by the way. looks very…intricate? hmm checkin it out.
I want more collabs with andre a Cee-LO!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
damn we even have 3k haters? whats this world coming to
damn…yall got me excited w/ this one. i thought 3k came out w/ a new mixtape today!
and in my opinion, big boi does not get the credit he deserves…at all. they were almost equal, lyrically, but, people make andre seem like he’s god compared to big boi…
Dope!!!!! And I haven’t even listened to it yet.
My favorite of all time. Bought all the albums and he is the best alive.
Mobb Deep > OutKast (IMO)
I always thought it was the “cool” thing to say when dudes say Andre is the best rapper alive smh. C’mon mann, he’s absolutely great, even top 15 all time, but not the best. But again this is my opinion, so keep it moving.
^^ really ive never really heard ppl say andre was the best..or viewed outkast as even cool..but maby thats where im from..where im from most ppl see them as a wacky kinda gay hiphop group who just love them for so fresh so clean lol
i still tihnk kast r the best of all time *kanye voice*
Since music is subjective all of you should just stop bitching.
^^u too
my favorite verse is him in GANGSTA SHIT!
to all the people who downloaded the mix…is it me or is I DO missing from the mix?
^It IS missing! I didn’t even notice.
Easily one of the best to ever do it!
Southernplayalistic was they best album. Every album had bangers & hits but that was they best whole album. Dre is very very overrated. He’s nice but not as nice as every1 makes him out to b. But he would seem great compared to the other bullshit that comes out da south. Props to Dre 4 not fuckin wit drake tho.
I heard ever track on here way back when and still have them…eh…no rare or unreleased tracks…u got my hopes up.
Am I the only person who realizes this has been out for well over a year. I copped this shit last spring, late again shake.
Answer to the early-ass question: I think Big Boi personifies Southern Hip Hop music to its fullest. He has that southern flow and so much lyricism. He probably wouldn’t make my top 10, but he is so, so, SO dope.
Andre3k is everything Hip Hop can be lyrically. He has that great flow, and has always been so ahead of his time lyrically. The two of them together are perfect…I wish they would get back together already!
my wiener is like eating a free pizza that you did not pay for on a plate so lets date
Ayo Shake May we have a Usershare or Mediafire link please b/c the OG link isn’t working…Thanks for the (2)Dope Music
Thats the wrong DJ ideal …thats linked
and a 2nd Alt. Link just in case b/c this mix is (2)Dope…http://usershare.net/getrightmusic/2wsezxfywpz5…Sorry for the competition’s links Shake but I’m just trying to help the masses.
The great one and my namesake…im dl’ing this asap
my number 1 mc!!!!
what song is that Felicia Fur Freestyle from? please help if anynone knows
Dre is dope but folks sleep on Big Boi. Listen to any of Outkast’s classic albums and both dre and big boi were spittin heavy. Dre just is so left field its easy to appreciate him. 7/10 songs big boi is neck to neck with dre. Dont forget his nimble flow either.
theone< very true big boi a heavy spitta too.
andre is SUCH a neutral artist. just, bland. eh. w/e #OkBye
andre’s best verse is on the song ATLiens by the way.
aquemini is the best verse by andre,
FUCKING DOPE. you know an artist is amazing when people on a website start debating over his best verse. to me, they’re all great. i just can’t get over how good Life in the Day of Benjamin Andre is.
Need a new link!!!
The common denominator, the nigga numerator
Never know who the hater, niggaz cater to your ego
I’m sorry like Atari whose the cousin to Coleco.. Vision
caught a Rico, back on the street like Chico.. DeBarge
he large and got a ‘Llac in the garage
Few parts here and there, I declare hard, my lawd
One at Clark, one at Spelman
Both know each other and it’s cool, you can tell when
he step off in the party women jump for joy
But all the wild niggaz scheamin they gon’ jump the boy
for spittin all that bourgeoise, my watch, my car
I’m a star — I’d rather be a comet by far — rrrahhh!
my lawd is right
Outkast is the best group ever.
pause to tha first statement..
Fat tities turn to teardrops as fat ass turns to flab
scars that was open, wounds eventually turns to scabs
Trees bright and green turn yellow brown
autumn caught em, see all the leaves must fall down
growing old
HOW DO THEY NOT HAVE GANGSTA SHIT ON HERE!?!?!
the song was commercially sucessfull but andre verse on elevators is the standard to which all rap should be held . !!! Sings..”got stopped at the mall the other day , heard a call from the other way, which i just came from some n**** say something, hey man remember me from school….Naw not really!!! …” damn this verse is so clean
..Are you a young woman who prefers dating older men or are you that young bachelor who prefers to go out with older women?go to the place as my usename says…where older women seeking younger men, or older men seeking younger women.No age g’a'p is too wide in front of true love.
Ignore Dragonballs. He doesn’t know hip hop.
That being said, Andre is in my top 20, all time.
ATLiens is by far beyond anything that has come out in the last 14 years, of almost any music genre. A level to never be achieved again. The last of the last of great hip hop albums. Something to be passed down to generations.
Question:
Is every nigga with dreads for the cause?
is every nigga with gold for the fall?
No, so don’t get caught up in appearence,
It’s Outkast, Aquemini, another black experience…
definately the most creative, top five… ask eminem, lil’ wayne, crooked i… ask your favorite rapper.
@Dragonball, Hey yall this ni*ga Dragball just told me the strongest character in DBZ was Krillin
hahahaha, young thundercat ass cat n the hat ass rapper lolol
anybody not holding 3K in their top 5 should stop advancing the poisoning of the young minds of the hip hop culture. Big Boi is dope….but NOBODY is on 3K’s level. Flow, delivery, and most of all SUBJECT MATTER. 3k is and has always been in another solar system than the rest of these rappers. 3k is the epitome of an MC (there is a HUGE difference between just being a RAPPER and being a MC).
as for the dragonballz…..no need to go in on his fuckery; its a waste of time.
andre is top 3 imo
put him on a track with any1 and he will more than hold his own. that every1 can agree on.
@Dragonballs
Not for us real hiphop gangsta niggaz?????????? You would say something like that and have the name DRAGONBALLS. When are you dumbass ppl gonna realize that truely being “gangsta” is to just be yourself. No matter who “you” are. Being “REAL” is being YOU. Big up to 3 Stacks. Peace
