    IMO, Big Boi was better on SouthernPlayaListic & ATLiens, and Dre Surpassed him on Aquemini, Stankonia and SB/TLB

    Yes
    When Speakekboxxx/Love Below came out I could see a strong argument in favor of 3 stacks. Now's it's Big Boi and unless Dre has a classic solo in the vaults, that's how it'll end.

    Yes
    I meant to say no. I didn't think this was debatable.

    It's not. I wouldve bet 1000 he would say this, that's his brother. People like rooting for the underdog so....

    Whole GQ interview was dope and should be posted. Also I saw 3 Stacks walking around the city by himself this summer and was tripping out.
    Didn’t know he moved to NY.

    THAT'S the album that tipped it for 3K? The one were he's singing for 98% of the record.

    Oddly enough as otherworldly Dre is they're pretty evenly matched at times. Sometimes more than often Big has the better verse. He mightve been the better rapper on the first album..
    (Big>>>Dre on this one. I heard they were kinda going at each other on this but could be mistaken)
    https://youtu.be/2IQGQN9RAas

    I'm far from being the person to tell ppl how to live their lives but Dre needs to put up or shut up when it comes to hip hop..

    Dre: My heart's just not in rapping anymore. Maybe I'll try acting..
    **proceeds to suck as an actor but drops the verse of the year at least twice**

    Btw Big>>>Dre as far as acting goes..

    He was just being nice

    This... context clues...

    "When you watch early Outkast videos, Big Boi’s the leader. He always had the confidence, where I was kind of like the shy one."

    That has nothing to do with skills... you have to have a certain amount of confidence to be a rapper and it's fair to say Dre admires Big's confidence...

    This is also hilarious coming from the ? who came out the house rockin turbans and football pads at different points in his career, but I think I remember him saying that he did all that to cover up his insecurities...

    And if you ever seen them live, Big Boi is naturally a better performer and more comfortable on stage than Dre...

    "Big Boi can rap better than me—I always said that."

    "Can" is the keyword here. He said Big can rap better than him, not that he raps better than him... I feel like Dre is sayin if anyone can rip him on a track, it's Big Boi. And Big has done it a few times... "Spaghetti Junction" being one of them...

    "If somebody said, "Pick who you want from Outkast to go to battle with you," it wouldn’t be me. ’Cause like, what I’ma do? Say some mind ? ? You can’t have thoughts in a battle—nobody gives a ? about that."

    This is true... you go into a battle, you wanna spit some braggodocious ? not some slice of life about an old lady you met at a thift store in Albuquerque...

    Big Boi is criminally underrated... there aren't a lot of rappers better than him, technically speaking... His flow has always been on point and no one spits that player ? ? quite like he does... But, Dre is better at the ? that matters to me personally: thought-provoking lyrics, epic storytelling, timeless wordplay, musicality... put them together and that's one hell of a duo...

    I will say 3k features are overhyped as hell on the IC

    It ain't just the IC at this point.

    These new age "#staywoke" folk under the age of 25 revere him like a ? because he's a great rapper that rarely records.

    It's no fronting on the man's pen game but I stopped getting hyped for new 3K verses in circa 2010 or whenever he did that "I Do" song with Jeezy and Jay.
