I wonder how many people would be saying if Dre was on another level if he didn't look like he stole his wardrobe from Kool Keith, Parliament, and Jimi Hendrix's closet. To say that 3000 is one of the greatest without a solo career is disrespectful to everyone who had a successful solo career, as far as classics and content are concerned. Andre did only HALF the work while a soloist did 100% of the work. Considering Outkast as a duo in the greatest of all-time is fine. I actually do consider them to make a strong case as a duo. As solo acts, no. Andre 3000 needs a solo catalog to prove it. So what if he "stands out more" like some of you say? The point is, Big Boi was there too and it is disrespectful to consider Andre, even though Big Boi has gotten the best of Andre in some verses and lately and this was before Idlewild. Even more hilarious, I'd put Cee-Lo over Andre not only because he has the solo, but he executes what Andre tries to be better than Andre. With that said, Outkast top 10...yes. Andre 3000 top 10...hell no
