AYO Keep It Trill: Big Boi Been Better Than Andre 3k Since Stankonia

[nillerthekid]

The way I see it is this:

1) They both dropped their best verses on songs with each other. Only "Thought Process" featuring Andre 3000 is arguable since Big Boi isn't featured on that song and it's one of Andre's best verses.

2) The scale tips in Big Boi's favor because we know he's capable of delivering good to great Hip Hop albums as a solo artist. Speakerboxxx, Sir Lucious, and Vicious Lies are proof of that. Love Below proves Andre 3000 to be a great artist, but it doesn't showcase him as an MC even though he raps on some of the songs.

3) Up until Speakerboxxx/Love Below, it was Big Boi murdering features (Young Bloodz "85", Missy's "All N My Grill", Jay's "Poppin' Tags" to name a few, because there's more). From 2006 to present, it's been Andre killing the features.

4) Even though I feel Andre 3000 is the better MC, it says a lot of Big Boi, because it's like Big Boi pushed Andre to be better as an MC. It was like, "Oh so Big gon attack the track like that, let me see what I can come up with". When Andre hops on a track with someone else, it's dope, maybe even great, but when he's on a track with Big Boi it's incredible. Same goes for Big Boi.

3000 HAD VERSE OF THE YEAR WITH THAT "INTERNATIONAL PLAYAS ANTHEM"....

that verse just might be the most overrated verse of all time... it's not that it isn't good, but in no way did he outdo Big on that song

Oh come one

you consider it verse of the year material?

Until I hear an album... Andre is Jada, Meth, Cannibus, Fab and any other Top 5 with no album out rapper I've heard... Add Jay Electronica to that list also.

damn, it woulda been dope if UGK had outkast, three 6 mafia, and kept project pat all on that International Playaz Anthem

I swear this thread is the only place I have ever heard a nigguh say Big Boi >>> 3 stacks. I'm absolutely dumbfounded right now. This gotta be a troll thread. Many people place 3stacks in their top 10. I've never heard anybody mention Big Boi in the top 20. Well.....a nigguh did tell me once that Silkk The Shocker was top 3 MCs of all time, so I guess anything is possible w/ some of y'all nigguhs. smmfh.

Clearly u hvnt been paying much attention over the last few years. This topic is brought up frequently and there is always a handful of ppl who think Big is better than Dre especially after Sir Lucious came out.

 

[ocelot]

Sir Luscious basically confirmed it

imagine... 17.... no... 13 tracks of 3k straight spittin over organized production... I fucks wit that...

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Ehhh I like Dre, but I don't know if I'd want to hear a full album of just him by himself. It would either end up being preachy as hell or some quasi R&B bullshit. Big kept that dude grounded. When he's left to his own devices he goes overboard.

... with a couple features from big to reign him in... you didn't let me finish...

[blackgod813]

...the i beg to differ klik.

 

[blackgod813]

are yall even from the south with these absurd lists

 

[Candleguy]

Andre 3k has been for ladies since then - because they know no better, but dudes who claim to be hiphop heads just nod along and agree that 3k is better than Big Boi.

Big Boi been about this hip-hop thing and Andre 3k wanna be Jimi Hendrix with none of the talent (See: 16 Aint Enough Guitar Riff)

Frankly this 3K overrating makes me sick .

Ironically the content of this post clearly shows you yourself are not a hip-hop head

so a Outkast album?

you can call it whatever you want bruh...

Then that's not helping Dre for that top 5 discussion. Dre needs Big Boi more than Big Boi needs Dre musically.

if dre needs big boi more than big boi needs him then why did big boi make that unofficial remix to pink matter?

And I don't give a fuck about a top rappers... I just want a rap album from one of my favorite rappers...

They need each other equally.

It was natural for Big Boi to be the first to do a solo album because he was also the first on the Kast albums to have solo songs on their albums. He was also the first to be featured solo outside of their collaborations with Goodie Mob.

Big Boi was always the raw MC of the duo where Andre was more of the poet. That's not to say that Big couldn't get poetic when he wanted or that Andre wasn't a raw lyricist when he wanted to be. It's just that it's what they were respectively best at.

I guess I haven't, cause this the first time I've ever heard anybody say that shit. That Sir Lucious joint has been sitting on my entertainment center collecting dust since it's release date. #nolie

This isnt saying much since 3000 hasnt really put out much material since then.

lol

diddy been better than big since life after death

I already know what side of the argument based on your avatar.

You really think Andre doing justice to him? Rather have Lenny Kravitz play him...atleast he has some skill on the guitar.
