Andre 3000 Lands Number 9 On MTV Top 10 MCs List

andre

Why He’s Hot
No album, no single, only two guest appearances - Andre did even less this year than he did in 2007. There’s not even a handful of verses to judge him on. Should the Hip-Hop Brain Trust members be found guilty of treason for giving Andre a slot in the top 10 despite minimum output?

Absolutely not.

Tres Stacks has illustrated natural bravura over brainless bravado, dropping judiciously dope couplets laced with gentlemanly swagger that brew to a crescendo and shed every note in their way.

Full Story

How Andre 3000 higher than T.I. without even dropping a single?

No disrespect to 3 stacks but he living off his name and reputation. MTV panel tryna sound legitimate with this.

Its like when a nigga been injured all season and leading in the pro bowl or allstar vote.

They know whos nice but havent been watching the games.

Damn. Ya’ll are really out of ya’lls minds. How could you second guess Andre for a minute??? SO what he has no material out???

The few verses he has done are more clever, have more insight, and more swag than any other of the “hot mc’s” on the list.

As far as singles.. FUCK THAT!! You judge how hot someone is from a single??? You must have had MIMS as your # 1 when he came out!!

REAL TALK I’m dissapointed.

Cauze he’s hotter ! Period.
Andre is all time top 10! Whats confusing is wether this top 10 thing is about whose Buzz is the bigger or who’s the nicest.

All I know is that I’ll always be more excited about new material coming out from Andre 3 Stack than T.I. even though he’s ok.

-

That’s why this list is confusing because a lot rappers have “more insight” than most of the rappers that will be listed in the top 10 and where are they? I always thought this list was about presence and mainstream appeal. I wonder if MTV realise that the “brainless bravado” that they’re talking about is spewed by a lot of the rappers that they’ll put in the top 10. SMH.

ignorant statement by real talk ny about how can Andre be higher than T.I. with no music out… So i’m thinking this list is in regards to popluarity instead of talent.. Andre runs laps around T.I. like it or not and he doesn’t even have to put out a solo album period… Andre 3000 along with Phonte = best lyricist from the South and don’t front either.

Im ok with him at 9. I mean they saying its 8 other niggas hotter than him right now. Top 5 is when it gets interesting enough to argue.

i’m with Realtalk..T.i. is much hotter than Andre 3000..Im not saying that T.I. is better or that I even like T.i. better cus Andre 3000 is one of my favorite rappers..but Andre’s hot year was last year when he hopped on all of those remixes…this year..not so much

Royal Flush and Art of Storytelling part 4… in top 5 songs of the year, and his verses in that song were the best, but Big boi should have been there with him 2.

luv dre and outkast,but damn. you mean to tell me he been moreenvolved and has had more buzz then T.I. please. when the first list came out their were some disagreements in the hip hop community, but if the rest of the list is as outta whack as the first two, they gone lose all credibility

cosign micah
royal flush and art of story telling, alone put him on the list. my list. t.i. should be higher cuz he actually had an album and had a couple of joints on it.

but that goes to show that hiphop might not be dead after all. someone is still listening. i wonder if 50 makes the list?

this mtv top 10 mcs list is just showing a lot of favortism towards appealing artist

nik wrote on May 15th, 2008 at 5:57 pm

T.I. at the bottom of the list at #10 and Andre next to the bottom at #9 (and he does deserve to be higher than T.I. and MOST other rappers at that with the material he has put out)

::sees MTV list losing ALL credibility at this point and stops paying attention::

1st why even give MTV credibillity by debating this sh!t? If they don’t know bout it why respect their opinion enough to respond let alone debate?

SKEME wrote on May 16th, 2008 at 12:03 am

@2cents.. My dude cause SOMEBODY got ta keep the white folk (uninformed) in line with this culture. Shiii.. They already runnin’ rampant with the black exploitation!! Now you want to let them control what should sell by saying what is hot??

F* THAT!! You gonna just let someone call you a nigger from across the street and say.. “oh why even respect that enough to go confront him?” HMM?

jaloni wrote on May 16th, 2008 at 12:14 am

real talk, stop your bitching
im starting to get the idea
that your favorite artist is t.i.
so far you bitched about t.i. being number ten
now you bitchin about andre being higher than t.i.
im assuming tomorrow you are gonna bitch about
the next mc to be number eight beating t.i.

2cents wrote on May 18th, 2008 at 12:33 am

You give control by careing what they think… f white people in general!

once someone of color comes along and entertains their stupid ideas thats when we find ourselves in trouble!

I mean if we had our own we wouldn’t be worried bout them… it’s b.s.

and actually skeme I would I feel you if you’re in the 18-24 range but someof us figure sh!t out (somewhat) and if i beat up the person who called me nigger from across the street I bet you i’d do more time and be villified worse than sean bell was, and I would be the one lookin at time!

There’s more than one way to skin a cat, especially when they ultimately jus wanna excert some sorta control over you!
