One of the more fun aspects of rap fandom is arguing about which rappers are “best” — even if the criteria vary from person to person (or maybe because they do). Recently, we got the first big debate of 2022 thanks to TDE rapper Reason, who appeared on Van Lathan’s Higher Learning podcast and made a declaration that baffled the host. Claiming that New York rapper Fabolous is a better rapper than fan-favorite Andre 3000, Reason’s, well, reasoning led to an outbreak of Twitter users sharing their thoughts.

“I feel like if you lined up Fabolous and Andre 3000, I got my money on Fab,” Reason asserted. “I’m not about to hate on Fab, but that boy from Atlanta is a monster,” Lathan replied. However, Reason argued that “[Fab] out-raps Wayne. If you can out-rap Wayne, you can out-rap Andre 3000. He’s out-rapped Wayne on records. … I’m not saying it’s easy for Fab, but I think if Fab came in with the mindset of ‘I want the best verse,’ I think Fab can out-rap Andre 3000.”

Reason posted a clip of the debate on his own Twitter, suggesting, “We need a Fab vs Andre Verzuz. Verses only! I got Fab! Somebody hand me the aux!” which naturally only prompted the debate to spread even further, with fans of all three rappers chiming in.

And while it seems as unlikely that Andre will ever agree to do a Verzuz as Jay-Z will, the debate made for some spicy banter on a relatively slow weekend. Check out the responses below.

Snoop Dogg Exhibits Artistic Flair In His ‘Make Some Money’ Video With Dave East

by

It’s Black Friday, which for many means shopping for deals at big-box retailers trying to clear the year’s stock ahead of the new year. However, for some, like Snoop Dogg, it’s an opportunity to support Black businesses — which is exactly what he does in his new video for “Make Some Money,” which is presented as a showcase of colorful art and fashion by Black painters and designers with all their names attached so viewers can spend some money to support artists who might have otherwise been overlooked.

The new single comes from Snoop’s recently released compilation album The Algorithm, which he released last Friday as part of his new role at Def Jam. As such, the song also features two Def Jam artists: Dave East, who signed to the label in 2016 as part of a joint venture with Nas’ Mass Appeal Records, and Fabolous, who signed to the label in 2007, releasing four albums under the imprint beginning with From Nothin’ To Somethin’ (five, including the joint project Friday On Elm Street with Jadakiss).

Other singles from The Algorithm include “Go To War” with Blxst, and “Murder Music” with Benny The Butcher, Busta Rhymes, and Jadakiss.
