    Andre 3000. Kanye, if you consider him a legit rapper.

    Kanye is pushed as the personification of Tracey Jordan.

    Fair enough.

    Still, Andre 3000 is much more than a rapper. He's a real musician, an artist. I elevate him and guys like Cee-Lo that step outside of the rap/hip-hop box to transcend different musical genres and art forms.

    I think it's his personality that's tough. Not quite the same thing as being a tough guy, like a gangster or something...If you're just looking at pictures, then you may not be able to tell the difference.

    Why is this the same case among so many people, "I don't like rap, except for eminem" :confused:

    Is it because he doesn't smile and the way he dresses in those pics?

    Well he was constantly bullied when he was young, He once got his shet kicked outta him so hard that he was hospitalized.

    Don't know if that makes him a tough guy tho.

    And I don't think anyone saw him as a tough guy, more like a crazy white boy that makes good music..

    he didn't act tough in 8 mile, personally my level of respect grew for him tremendously after 8 mile. that soundtrack took me back to college, damn near every song was a favorite for me. really changed my opinion of him

    Just listen to Marshal Mathers LP. That should answer most of your questions.
