Eh I thought his last album was good. Not really like his older stuff but still good. Still though this song right here makes me hopeful that he his back to his old self.
reDublo: good call, man. my favorite song on it is probably cops keep firing if only because of the sick Jigga sample
Just FYI, I saw Wu-Tang clan when they came through Chicago to kick off their latest album tour (coincidentally, no GZA, apparently there's some beef going down)... I'm about as white as they come, and I did not feel out of place in any way shape or form.
Andre 3000 definitely has some awesome delivery. Dude is cool.
Content trumps delivery, IMO
Look at Talib Kweli, for example. Yeah, his shit isn't nearly as smooth, but at least motherfucker has something to say.
i would rather be cornholed with a pneumatic drill then listen to Talib Kweli
i don't excuse idiotic bullshit like This is Why I'm Hot but not all rap needs to be some moody indie cred bullshit, not everybody needs to be Mos Def
To be fair, I was thinking early Talib
motherfucker has gotten way too militant with his last few albums
i haven't heard them, i mainly just don't like his voice at all basically
i was exaggerating a bit in that post though, i don't hate socially conscious rap, i just have a few friends who won't shut the hell up about Mos Def and i'm sick of him.

Every time I watch a Mos Def interview, I can't help but think he's a complete fucking idiot.

call him and there's a chance he'll get it juicy for you
definitely one of their lesser CDs but it's still got some incredible stuff on it
i'm still amazed to this day that Speakerboxxx/Love Below went diamond
it went diamond because "Spread" is the best thing andre 3000 ever put on a record

This is a pretty classy diss.
i could listen to that disc for the rest of my life
where are my panties is basically the best skit ever made
Dr. Carter
Mr. Carter
Let The Beat Build
Some of his best on that album
Tha Carter 3 also has the best album cover ever
It's like a goddamn minute-and-thirty before the hip-hop starts, but these guys know how to work a crowd
Note the that lack of response is a fucking Seattle thing, as we don't dance for shit for some reason
i still enjoy lollipop though if only because of how cheesy it is
and he knows it
be cool
*ICE COOOLD*
andre 3000 is basically the fucking batshit successor to prince with a fierce lyrical prowess and endless sex appeal
motherfucker has his own goddamn cartoon

This is pretty good but I think Busta Rhymes has the best verse on this song.
which brings me to
NEW BUSTA FUCK YEAH
as long as it's better then his last album i'm stoked

Also, speaking of rapper covers, I thought this was a pretty funny collaboration.

Actually, can't speak to their entire albums, but these are some tight songs:
