The duo, then Kanye West and André 3000 have long been hip-hop legends. They both hail from Atlanta (Georgia) and are key figures during rap’s golden era. Many consider them as two of the best rappers ever to have graced hip hop music. A recent debate between Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum has rekindled a comparison between these two greats.

Kravitz and Tatum were on an episode of GOAT Talks where they talked about who the greatest rapper of all time is in their own opinion. When asked for her pick, she immediately said Ye by Tatum. However, he chose André 3000 as his GOAT, although surprised by that choice.
