Rap music...
Discussing GOAT rapper not GOAT musician...
I liked that disc on that album tho...
I don't get what is the discussion here. The Love Below was never intended to be a rap album so why is it "bad because it's not a rap album" is the argument I don't understand
I'll explain it to you.
The premise of the thread is whether or not Andre 3K is the absolute greatest MC in the history of Hip Hop, going back to the days of when they used to rock in the parks in The Bronx. From Melle Mel,Grandmaster Caz and Kool Moe Dee to LL Cool J, Slick Rick, Rakim, KRS One, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Ice Cube, Treach, Redman, Snoop, Kurrupt ALL NINE MEMBERS OF WU TANG CLAN, Jay Z, Nas, Biggie, 2Pac, Eminem, Mos Def, Common, Talib Kweli, Black Thought, Pharaoh Monch, Kanye West, Lupe, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole and ? it, I'll even throw Drake in the convo.
Now the problem is that "technically" Andre 3K doesn't have a solo album. I say "technically" because the solo album that he does have, if you count it as a solo album, to quote you, "was never intended to be a rap album".
This is problematic because all of the MCs I named above have solo albums that you can compare and contrast each other's work.
Even Black Thought, who is a member of a group has dozens of albums where he holds down the majority of the vocals with a few features here and there.
Hopefully this clears things up. -

Naw, one clearly outshined the other in all respects on their tandem projects. -

It's only a negative in terms of fans wanting him to be the GOAT rapper without a solo rap album. I already said that I like the disc, probably said this numerous times on this board lol...
We agree that it's not a rap album and according to your post is was never intended to be one and I am fine with all that...
And Andre is one of the best emcees to do it but I cannot put him above others who do have those solo albums...
The discussion is pretty much can 3 Stacks be the GOAT without a solo rap album... -

The greatest of all time if Andre 3000 is in the conversation then why not her? -
10 seconds in
I'm going to finish the video but there's probably nothing he can say to sway my opinion with a naked face
The minute he started recording, his argument started against Stacks being the GOAT -
Andre is rapping on half the album of Love Below btw
? act like he just straight made a singing/pop album
He raps on damn near every track
And it's one of the greatest albums ever made. If I'm being a ? , I say you're not even a music fan if you don't hear the genius in that album -

No the ? he ain't.
Other than Hey Ya, the only songs I like is the ones w/ some rapping in it and that's Spread, Roses, and Happy Valentine's Day. -
I like the "Love Below" but rofl at not a fan of music if you don't like it...
Foh with the hyperbole... -

Lauryn Hill is the best female MC imo.
I can't say that Andre is the best male MC.
Outkast is good and they have songs I like, but neither Andre nor Big Boi is in my top 10.
No shade but it is what it is. -

Is he better than Big Boi, Scarface, T.I.,etc.?
-Scarface is better
-3000 is right behind Face
-Big Boi is a great MC but not a contender for GOAT southern MC
-TI dont even belong in this conversation
If a ? with no solo albums is in the convo.
FOH!
As a brooklyn ? I'm offended..T.I is dumb NICE with MULTIPLE classic albums,a original style,voice,good ear for beats,good singles etc...
Dre is nicer than tip in the lyrics department but he ain't got the overall complete package to be a absolute goat
