I understand the difference you talkin' about (damn, I done forgot how crazy Big Boi got down on 85), but Dre just play with them words better. I don't know if Dre necessarily has a better flow, but it's more mainstream accessible, I think, which is why the people collectively celebrate 3K.

Definitely wouldn't have worked if they started as solo artists, but you wouldn't call one perspective a bit more interesting than the other?

I'd probably say Dre is more interestin because he experiments more.

And when I look back on some of the earlier OutKast records, I seem to better relate to Dre and his subject matter.

Dre is usually the conscious philosopher and Big Boi is usually the gangsta pimp.

That type of formula is true for most duos.

Look at UGK, BlackStar, A Tribe Called Quest and 8Ball & MJG.

what's with all the "higher level" of thinking when talking about greatest ever? i thought it was as simple as putting out the best music. Run DMC did a lot(understated) for hip hop but that doesn't mean I should automatically say they're "greater" at making rap music than Outkast or several other duos for that matter.

do you think Pete Maravich could ball with Jordan? nope

You're late: read the thread title and the early post homie, this has been covered already

greatest duo ever does not = best music. Infact my last post said that OK would eat RD mic to mic...

forget it, go back and read the convo before jumping in, bruh.

You should've said the best rap duo to make good music. But when you say greatest ever there are other aspects that go with that.....

^^^ You sir, speak the truth dot com.

aint this all that matters...

best rap duo to make good music=best rap duo period...

how can the others possibly be the best if they cant make the best music..

does not compute...

completely agree.

that relatability gives Dre the edge though.

a lot of MCs have similar ability lyrically, but it's touching on topics that touch people that separate them after certain point.

Yeah. Outkast, greatest duo ever.

run dmc hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! without disrespecting any other duo. i wish some of you cats would stop comparing apples and oranges. most of the younger cats can't get with the old school music cuz they don't understand what impact actually means. in 84 if run dmc came on, everything stopped, then all they did was top it with the follow up, which changed hip hop from a fad into the force that it is today. STOP TRYING TO LISTEN TO 1984 MUSIC WITH A 2010 EAR IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!

Maybe, but the vast majority seems to think that OutKast is the best duo in the rap / hip hop genre.

i've never been one to follow the crowd.

Me neither, but I can't help it if millions agree with me.

Although it may be for various reasons, it is what it is.

It's like sayin most of these young folk favorite artists ain't Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne.

We both know that ain't the truth.
