    No. I knew Andre was better than Big Boi back in 94 when I first heard the Player's Ball single, however Big Boi does have flows for days. He's no slouch, and there are tracks like "Sorry Ms. Jackson" and "The Art Of Storytelling" where he got the better of 3 Stacks. Respect due to Big Boi, but Andre is better.

    It's hard to say really. Andre's style is more memorable because not many do it as well as he does. Big Boi has more of that southern style that many rappers do even if it's not the same. Still I find myself liking Big Boi's verses over 3000 after multiple repeats of a song.

    I thought SpottieOttie was a push.

    BB was more about life overall and Dre's was more about the nightlife. Both were great and ended VERY memorably....

    "Hey, hey look baby, they playin' our song"
    And the crowd goes wild as if holyfield has just won the fight....
    But in actuality it's only about 3 am
    And three nikkas just done got hauled off in the ambulance (sliced up)/
    Two nikkas done start bustin' (wham, wham)/
    And one nikka done took his shirt off talkin' bout
    "Now who else wanna ? with HOLLYWOOD COURT!!"



    Can't gamble feeding baby on that dope money
    Might not always be sufficient/
    But the united parcel service and the people at the post office, didn't call you back because you got cloudy ? /
    So now you back in the trap, just that.... TRAPPED!!


    One didn't top the other IMO.

    I'll take 10 years of Andre over 20 years of Big Boi. I don't give a ? about the longevity argument, because hell, I'd like 2pac to be alive for more impactful songs that I relate to. Big Boi give you ? to vibe to, have fun and he'll sneak in with a deep ass joint or verse here or there but Andre, ? , I live through that ? 's verses from Thought Process all the way to the ? layup he put on a Lloyd song. He might have been sleep on Green Light. No diss to Big Boi, but gtfoh, Andre is a unicorn to rapping, Big Boi is just super dope and active. ? what Andre says about himself lol, he doesn't even care about his outfits let alone his status as a rapper.

    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.


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

    Misinterpreted like a mfer. I was saying that was the definitive moment Big Boi took the reigns.

    Because that would be a totally asinine statement to make. Big Boi is immensely dope. I can't say the same for Memph Bleek.

    lol I never understood what people mean about a flow is outdated. Are you saying that he sounded like he was back in the 90s because I'd say that's a good thing.
