André 3000 vs. Kanye West: Zoë Kravitz And Channing Tatum Debate Who’s The GOAT Rapper

As a child growing up in Atlanta during the golden age of hip-hop, I had the privilege of witnessing the emergence of two titans who would go on to define the genre for generations: Kanye West and André 3000. Their music was not just a soundtrack to my youth but a source of inspiration that fueled my own aspirations in life.


The pair, Kanye West and André 3000, are widely recognized as hip-hop icons. Originating from Atlanta (Georgia), they were influential figures during rap’s golden age. Many believe they rank among the greatest rappers who have ever contributed to hip hop music. A fresh discussion between Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum has sparked renewed conversations comparing these two exceptional talents.

Kravitz and Tatum appeared on a GOAT Talks episode, discussing who they believe is the best rapper of all time. When asked for her selection, Tatum swiftly responded with Ye. In contrast, he selected André 3000 as his top pick, a choice that took him by surprise.

Even though Tatum has a fondness for Kanye’s vintage style, he stays devoted to championing André 3000. This point underscores that these two artists aren’t merely symbols of a bygone era but also key figures who significantly shaped the trajectory of hip-hop music history.

More recently, it was decided that Ye (previously named as a defendant) is no longer involved in a copyright case concerning his song “Life of the Party,” featuring Andre’s Three Stacks. This legal action targeted Phase One Network, alleging unauthorized use of Boogie Down Productions’ music within this particular track.

Despite ongoing legal disputes involving Kano Computing – responsible for the song’s distribution through a handheld audio device – Kanye West was cleared of any charges by the court recently. With this legal win behind him, Kanye can now focus entirely on his music without undue stress from this lawsuit.

The ongoing debate between Ye (Kanye West) and André 3000 highlights their enduring influence on hip-hop music. While fans may have varying opinions about who is the Greatest of All Time (GOAT), there’s no denying that both musicians have left an indelible mark in music history. Their groundbreaking work continues to resonate, proving that true artistry never loses its relevance.
