Bar for Bar who's the better emcee? Jadakiss or Andre 3000

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

And no, Jada doesn't get credit for dropping solo albums when people are willingly admitting they are mediocre.

jada's solos were dope.
its just that some people, usually on the net, go overboard and call them mediocre because they didn't live up to expectations.

basically the bar was set high for jada, while the bar is set low as f*ck for andre 3000, who just drops random verses here n there. and half of them are wack, but his fans will automatically crown them as verse of the year before they even hear it.

3stacks literally breathes life on the mic..
He be talking about things men can relate to everyday, and the way he bends his flow ,syllables and words is so dope he can make a story about reading a story on the news interesting and make it relate to a scar he got when he was eight and fell off his rollerblades.

and jadakiss doesn't?​

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

3 stacks EASILY imo. not even close actually.

Jada is just punchlines....im not into that Smack DVD barz bruh type shyt....dude has a lot of skill but his style and delivery dry as fuc. Plain ass NY street bars...what u see is what u get

Andre is a bit overrated sure but his shyt way more 3 dimensional and layered. Im sorry but his best shyt is way more quotable than " i kiss u, u bytch ass nikka" or " i gotta weigh my coke with the shyt they weight the whales with"

Dre's shyt way more imaginative, nuanced...one of the top storytellers but could also some harder street shyt like "Gangsta shyt"....iono a lot of his just more relatable to me

Jada is mostly just tuff talk and drug

Kiss The Game Goodbye = medicore. Some standout songs with "We Gon Make It" being classic. Overall, a bloated album full of filler.

Kiss of Death- better effort, but still suffers from filler largely due to the formulaic club song, deep song, song for the ladies etc.

Last Kiss- suffers from more of the same. First 5 or so songs were flames, but it dwindles after that.

Top 5 DOA- Not much to really say about this one. I only remember "Rain" and a couple of others from this.

^^^ that's how I see his solo career

Jada claimed he was top 5 DOA and failed to deliver an album that lived up to that claim. He set the bar.

Andre 3000 wasn't out here campaigning to be some GOAT. He got put on that pedestal by peers and fans who felt he was THAT good. The flaw in that is he hasn't delivered an album that supports claim either. The difference is he never put himself in the hot seat, by daying he was Top anything on nearly everything he was featured on. The most Andre has said about being GOAT is his "Mighty O" verse.

Bar for bar, Andre 3000 >>>> Kiss by a pretty wide margin. He's a rapper that says more with less. And no half his features aren't wack.

Kiss became predictable. That era where he was on his "I'm i the hood like..." and "in a car the same color as..." . Kiss is somebody who has done songs with Biggie, Nas, and Jay, but has shown very little of the versatility in flow or even content that they did. He also lacks the creativity, execution, and the storytelling. I like Kiss, but he never graduated to that level. He stayed stuck in the class with the likes of Fab, who is also dope, but never leveled up to GOAT status talent wise.

Kiss got bars, but he don't make good music. Kiss is a 1-note, great niche rapper. If you need a hot 16 on a feature, call Kiss for sure.

Prime Andre is a great emcee & rap artist. He's a true generational talent. Wished we would've gotten a proper hip hop solo album from dude.

 

[Jesus Bhrist]

Andre 3000 is completely overrated where is these legendary verses at? Where he employs alliteration, double entendres, and these deep thought provoking metaphors at??? Andre 3000 is the better ARTIST as he’s apart of the legendary group outkast and has enjoyed more mainstream success but Jadakiss is absolutely the better RAPPER Andre 3000 is not a spitter so how is he better than Jadakiss bar 4 bar?


Jadakiss has never been outshined on a track and has proven himself numerous times as an EMCEE from songs with jay-Z, DMX, Nas, Raekwon, Biggie, Eminem, Big Pun, Scarface, Rick Ross, and he’s incredibly versatile and has legendary battles with Beans (another great rapper) & 50 respectively he’s definitely a better rapper than Andre 3000 it’s not even close lol

 

[Chris Cool]

The fact that Jada even has 20 votes.

What the fukk kinda verses you nikkas be quoting from 3000

This forum is hilarious

If ppl say jada is a top lyricist, and then you say the 2nd bolded part

His is 3k "a bit overrated" as far as lyrics go?

 

[Knicksman20]

If we’re going off just bars & that lyrical ability then my votes for Kiss. 3K is the better “artist” & he’s heavily benefited from being a part of Outkast. Kiss dropped one of favorite bars of the last 4 years with this:

“Word to Spanish, José, we was movin' the most yay
Had my boys runnin' and gunnin', sound like 'Coach K'
Listen, duke, you be shoot, but you know that it's both ways
My gun splash brothers, I call 'em Curry and Klay

This is basically a NYC vs everybody else type thread....so be it

Return of the G
Art of Storytelling
International Players Anthem
Thats just to start.

It comes down to whether you just like NY style punchlines or not. To some ppl, those type of bars are A1....to some that shyt is boring and unmemorable. Bars for bars sake.

Thats why i always fukkd with Southern shyt more than NY. Andre, pimp c, 8ball etc actually talked about more real life everyday shyt that everybody goes thru not just studio gangsta shyt or fame ass drug kingpin talltales.

This is the correct answer but the Timbs n Yankee fitted crew will continue to Juelz ...."bars b, quotables b"

Most of the Kast shyt is timeless while Jada's catalog is dusty n dated. Jada is great at his one thing but he's the equivalent of a shooting specialist who is greating at hitting 3s but average at everything else

Jada is a blac., less corny version of Eminem
