Top 10 Intellectual Rappers

Up early, cruising the net and I came across this article about the Top 10 Intellectual Rappers. And at #10 is Andre Benjamin AKA Andre 3000 / 3 Stacks. So now I'm curious as hell to find out who are the 9 rappers that are more intellectual than Andre. Chuck D better be on this list!!!!

#10

One of the few rappers on this list you should already probably be aware of on this list, Andre 3000, rapper from the critically acclaimed and incredibly popular Hip-Hop Duo, “OutKast,” is one of the most well liked and respected rappers in the industry from non-fans. And for good reason too; while his slang-heavy southern dialect may turn some listeners away, he has expressed untold ability to use language to paint beautiful pictures and make poignant statements, and he remains a wonderful story-teller. As his group progressed with its music, Andre 3000 became increasingly cerebral in his raps, often dipping into abstract lyricism and existentialism, and his unconventional use of language began to become more metaphorical than ever, making the average listener listen twice before continuing to groove out and have fun. Indeed, Andre’s penchant for funk and “prince-esque” musical production led many to know him for his catchy and funky, non-rap single, “Hey Ya!” however he will always be remembered by those original fans as a master emcee and powerful poet. Check him out on the first verse in this link.
