    3k 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

    He cant though. He dont got it.

    Its like saying MJ should just put on a uniform and get the hornets a ring. But he cant. Dude dont got it no more.

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

    Outkast 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.

    Big 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.

    Make it. I might be inclined to agree just cuz Dre sang on the majority of TLB.

    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

    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
