B-Real Says He’d Take André 3000 Over Fabolous: “Both Dope But 3000 Is Ona Different Level”

Cypress Hill’s B-Real says he’d take Outkast legend André 3000 over Fabolous when asked who is the better MC. B-Real weighed into the debate in response to TDE rapper Reason’s opinion that Fabolous is the better rapper.

“Nah.. they both dope af but 3000 is ona different level in IMO,” he commented on a HipHopDX report.

Another commenter replied, pointing out that 3000 has released “zero solo albums.”

“Nah son. He got bars,” fired back B-Real. “And although he maybe ain’t feelin it any more you can’t take away what he’s put down to this point. You take all the football gear and loud shit out of the scenario it’s bar work. And what does it matter if he got solo albums out? Zero .. that’s my dollar fifty.”

He added: “They spit different type shit so the comparison is odd but it’s about preference. Depends what you like. I get down with both but to me Andre is slightly ahead.”

André 3000, who has taken a step back from his music career since Outkast’s final album in 2006, made a rare contribution this year by appearing on Kanye West’s Donda track, “Life Of The Party.” The song was named by Tyler, The Creator as one of his favorites of the year.

Andrew Garfield Says It Was “Very Fun” To Lie About “Spider-Man: No Way Home”

Andrew Garfield recently reflected on the build-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home and how he had to keep his appearance in the film a secret. Garfield, who starred in The Amazing Spider-Man, says that it was “very fun” to lie to the press.

”It was stressful, I’m not gonna lie,” Garfield told The Wrap when asked about how he handled rumors about his appearance. “It was rather stressful but also weirdly enjoyable.”

Garfield continued: “There were moments where I was like, ‘God, I hate lying.’ I don’t like to lie and I’m not a good liar, but I kept framing it as a game. And I kept imagining myself purely as a fan of that character, which is not hard to do. I placed myself in that position of, ‘Well, what would I want to know? Would I want to be toyed with? Would I want to be lied to? Would I want to be kept on my toes guessing? Would I want to discover it when I went to the theater? Would I want to be guessing, guessing, guessing.’”

No Way Home has dominated the box office since its release, remaining in the top spot of the earning charts for each of the last four weeks. It has become one of the ten highest grossing films of all-time having earned $1.53 billion worldwide so far.

The United States is currently experiencing a massive surge of COVID-19 cases linked to the Omicron variant.

While the Omicron variant does not initially seem as deadly as other variants of COVID-19, Rochelle Walensky, the director of the CDC, recently explained on Fox News why higher rates of transmission could result in rising death rates.

“We are starting to see data from other countries that indicate on a person-by-person basis it may not be,” Walensky explained. “However, given the volume of cases that we’re seeing with Omicron, we very well may see death rates rise dramatically.”

They added: “Right now, I think the most important thing to do is to protect Americans. We do that by getting them vaccinated and getting them boosted.”
