    When we 1st
    put it out (January 14th 2009) some people thought that we were crazy for even putting
    Stanza's name in the same sentence of Andre 3000. Please don't get
    our intentions misconstrued, we have the utmost respect for the work
    and legacy that Andre 3000 has set forth in his career. However we
    feel that Hip Hop is a competitive art form and competition makes or
    breaks greats. Was Allen Iverson being disrespectful to Michael
    Jordan when he broke his ankles when he came into the league? No they we competing to
    be winners. Plus we want to challenge more emcees to strive for
    artistic greatness and not just a hit record.

about

Dre's 1st verse in "Elevators" focused more on the story his was telling
instead of any, lyrics or Punch Lines. So Dre would win as far a Topic. As
far as flow Dre road the complex drum pattern on this record and I almost
missed it. I so he gets points for that.

Stanza's verse in "Hey Stranger" stands ups to Andre's in most of the
categories. Stanza's flow locked into the track and he became another
instrument. As far as lyrics he had several quotables line with my
favorite being "Late as a pregnancy, cool as a breeze, walking in
rollin' up my sleeve no crease in my jeans, dustin' off like I been
rastlin' all night, it seem that ya boy keep ya polo clean."

Summary
Flows - Tie, Lyrics - Stanza, Topic - Andrea 3000, Punchlines - Stanza
= Winner - Stanza
