I'm talkin solo wise. I been bigged up Dre this whole thread, I know what he did. But he's simply not qualified to be a GOAT contender cuz he hasn't held down an album on his own. If that's the case, is Papoose (all corny punchlines aside), Joe Budden (who put out only 1 major album), Joell Ortiz and any other mixtape rapper GOAT contenders? They can definitely spit with the best of them, but they haven't done what GOATs do, and that's put out classic SOLO albums.

Dude...that was just horrible...lol none of them have classic albums period..whether it be alone or with anyone else.. horrible comparisons

never said that. all you lil niggas.....stop hopping in the conversation if you not gonna read the thread.

niggas said Dre was top 5. that he was better than niggas like Rakim, DMX, Ice Cube. how you better than them and you never had a solo career?

Bruh I read this entire thread and your posts and logic are rediculous. You argue 3 Stacks cant be one of the greats because he's part of a duo.

I got a solution for you. Next time you listen to a Kast record, envision the tracks as Andre featuring Big Boi or vice versa.

All the greats that have been mentioned put out widely successful albums though. So naming Ortiz, Budden or any other mixtape rapper doesn't hold water. Andre's got a very solid body of work in the form of OutKast

There aren't 10 MC's to ever touch a mic that are nicer than Dre. That prolly had something to do with it.

Jay

Big

Nas

Common

Talib

Kool G Rap

Ice Cube

Rakim

Big Daddy Kane

Chuck D

I always thought that Big Boi was better than Dre.Dre just appeal more to the masses.

Dre is not qualified to be in the same conversation with these guys?

What did he do that put him in the same conversation? Maybe with Talib or Common,but he had no where near the impact of the others.He damn sure can not spit like Kane and G Rap.He does not have a classic like Big (I got Outkast first 2 albums but they are not classic), He did not have a message like Cube and Chuck and Nas and Jay I should not even have to explain.as for Rakim,well Ra influenced a whole generation of rappers.

He has more material than Biggie. Lyrically better than Biggie. Musically better than Biggie

You have to be kidding me...

Do you even know who all of those rappers are that I named? Outside of Common and Talib which is debatable Dre is not touching those artist.

This shit is all so wrong ....

He didnt have a message??

The First THREE Kast Albums arnt classic?? especially ATLiens & Aquemini

He cant flow with the best of em??

i mean ....by all means bruh you are entitled to your opinion ...but when i see those arguements it leads me to believe that either you have infact not listened to a single outkast album ...or you simply are in denial ....

Not Touching Biggie??
Not Touching Chuck D??
Not Touching Big Daddy Kane??

He's musically better than all those u listed sir... musically better than Jay too while ur at it.. The only ones I'd say u could go either way is Nas, Rakim, and Superheads baby father..
