Better rapper Vol. 52: Big Boi or Ice Cube

[Idiopathic Joker]

The Predator>>>>>>>>> anything Outkast related

 

[Sour-Cream]

Ice Cube worst record >> Speakerboxxx,

Not saying Big Boi sucks but music wise, he doesn't make classics without Andre3000 realistically. Plus Cube on NWA was that nigga back in the day. Imo, I always thought Sean Paul from Youngbloodz was a better lyricist than Big Boi.

I dont see why this is such a bad comparison simply cause they are both GOAT rappers. Throw all albums out and put rapper against rapper in their primes and I bet It would be closer than you think. Hard to find flaws in either, its a matter of ones preference. Cube is the straight to the point in your face rapper, Big Boi is the witty, crazy flow rapper.

Its interesting that you said the bolded because It made me immediately think, If both were on stage or better yet if they had a wax battle goin on, Even tho Cube was smiling around in "Are we there yet" and Big boi has the more versatile flow(no dought about that, dont make him better but its the truth) can anybody in this thread who voted for Big Boi truely if they life was on the line predict with confidence that Big Boi would be able to get Cube in a battle?

Mind you

Now yeah Ice does some chuckin and jiving movie wise but this is still the same nigga that made "No Vasaline" and "King of the hill"

has Outkast ever sonned Anybody?

There can't be anyone over the age of 29 yearsold that could vote for Big Boi.

Being the better battle rapper doesn't mean you're the better rapper, you're just better in that particular category.

The only thing I gave Big Boi over Cube is flow versatility. It could be argued that Flow is only one category too. Its kinda weird that if they was goin at each other in battle the more proven battle guy of the two which is also the guy that can make the most classics AINT the better rapper to you guys

Have they ever needed to? No

My vote had nothing to do with Ice Cube starring in movies btw, I highly respect him for what he's done in the past. I simply like Big Boi's style as a rapper better than Cube's.

 

[MR Josh]

cant believe this disrespect to ice cube.any body with common sense or common rap sense wouldn't mention both in the same sentence for any reason

 

[lamontbdc]

Let me help u out there buddy. The rest of that shit has nothin to do with this thread.

 

[Kalecrunch]

Big Boi vs Method Man would've been a more appropriate thread.

 

[nineties]

this is one of the funniest comparisons. I haven't seen this before.

 

[DR. JEK]

Its really the strangest because im sure the TS expected Cube to get destroyed but all niggas that really knew better voted for cube and its to the point it looks like poor Big boi got set up for failure and shoulda got matched up wit somebody more his level like Havoc, Daz, Method man or anybody else that was part of a two man duo who got over shadowed by the real lyricist of the two man groups. To put him against somebody like an Ice Cube like cube is just some whatever ass rapper was totally disrespectful to Doe boy.

 

[T. Sanford]

Big Boi is a beast on the mic

"I make dough, but don't call me Dough Boy"

Ice Cube " Check Yo Self"

[ohhhla]

Big Boi is the better rapper while Cube is the better artist who has classic over Big Boi.

Big Boi will body Cube in any era.

Nostalgia goggles.
