Andre' 3000 Thinks Big Boi Is a Better Rapper Than Him. Do Y'all Agree?

YesI just don't see how y'all thought Dre was better on the first two albums. So after that it's Aquemini and Stankonia where they were on the same level and then Dre basically stopped rapping... meanwhile Big Boi came with Speakerboxx, 3 more solo albums, half of Idlewild where he's rapping, the project with Phantogram.. I understand Dre got a more abstract style but Dre's not just being nice when he says if he gonna put one of them in a battle it gotta be Twan.. You can have your preferences but objectively speaking Big Boi really can rap and has been doing so for almost 25 years straight. Both have unorthodox styles that can't be duplicated but I think Big's style might be even more difficult to copy.

Yes3k was better then big boi, but big boi surpassed him.
Hip hop is the only art form where you have to write 48 lines of poetry per song, and you cant let anyone else write your lines.
It becomes extremely difficult to keep writing verse after verse. People run of ? to talk about. Thats why even good rappers fizzle out lf 2-3 albums.
With that, I understand why 3k cant see himself rapping anymore.
But also, hio hop does not give nearly enough credit to consistency and longevity. Im talking rappers that after 10+ years still sound fresh and creative. That ? is rare as ? and deserves mad credit.
And just off that alone, big boi has surpassed 3k -

NoOutkast is my favorite rap group....slightly ahead of Wu. With that said....I never played an Outkast song in anticipation of Big Boi's verse. Not saying Big can't rap.....he's just not as dope as Dre is to me.

NoBig Boi is a better a rapper in that he fits more of what we have come to know rappers to be.
But just pure creativity and skill Dre is a Phd level and Big Boi is grade school. -

Oh don't get me wrong, I love TLB, but on a strictly hip hop level, Twan wins by default.
I still maintain that Dre >>>>>>> Big Boi. -

First off, im not gonna act like 3k isnt an elite emcee. He is in the top tier of rappers, his body of work and his greatness cannot be argued. Im also not saying he doesnt drop hot 16s.
But I meant he doesnt have what it takes to drop a rap album as he himself alluded too a bunch of times. You gonna argue with his own assesment of himself? -
Dre is Better than Big Boi, but Big Boi is not far behind at all.
They both excel at things the other don’t.
They are the Perfect match, yet so Different -
UndecidedBig Boi is a better a rapper in that he fits more of what we have come to know rappers to be.
But just pure creativity and skill Dre is a Phd level and Big Boi is grade school.
Lol Come on bruh. I agree with your sentiment, PhD vs grade school. If Dre is a PhD, you gotta give Big a Masters at least. -

I think Ms. Jackson is one of the clearest examples of the yin/yang relationship
They both are excellent MCs, Dre is just more creative -
