    I love 3 stacks, Outkast is a GOAT group. I understand totally why cats say he's the GOAT, I don't agree but I'd be lying if i said that he wasn't in my top 10. That man has spit some of the dopest verses that I've ever heard, and along with his content and the way he flips words and phrases he gets nothing but respect from me. But I can't front, him not having a "true" solo album does keep me from putting him higher on my list. His quirkiness and mercurial nature hurt him to me in that regard. I've given up on ever getting a solo album from that dude, but his work on those Outkast albums can't be ignored. Just makes it all the more upsetting as a hip hop fan that he never dropped a proper solo.

    Oh yeah Big boi is definitely one of the most underrated emcees ever. He most definitely would get more props if he was in a group with anyone else. He's in that overshadowed by a more charismatic group member list along with Willie D of the Geto boys, Phife from Tribe, Mc Ren, Inspectah deck, and MJG. ? that's dope as ? , but folks overlook em cause of the more popular, talented and or charismatic cat or cats they're in the group with.

    I don't understand what a solo album from 3K will do for ? knowing damn well 9 times out of 10 it won't be a "rap" album.

    I dont understand why ? say he a top 5 or GOAT rapper if he dont drop "rap" albums.

    Standing a ? who has never had a solo album next to a ? who has multiple classics is disrespectful. It's like saying a ? with world championship talent but no rings is as good as a ? who has climbed to the mountain top time and time again. We'll never know what would have happened with grant hill because he never got a chance to make it shake in his prime. Dre had chances and just didn't.

    Just because you have the tools don't mean you know how to use em, or use them effectively as you would have if certain conditions weren't met. He's never had a classic without big boi's input. Scarface has made multiple group and solo classics, and has never had a wack official Scarface album in almost 30 years of recording.

    Ya'll ? outta pocket. Dre dumb nice, but talent don't = substance. Every other rapper that's mentioned in the top 5 has at least one classic album.

    Even Jeezy got a classic. The fact that this ? think he too good to rap for us, like he get a kick outta tellin us a solo or a reunion is comin just to see everybody get excited then disappear and hop on a remix to keep his name turnin.

    ? this dude.

    Top 5 talent though.

    Dre hasn't not put out a solo because he thinks he's too good for it. Multiple people, even Big Boi have said he hasn't put one out because he doesn't think it'd ever meet people's expectations of him. He don't think he's too good he actually doesn't think he'ss good enough

    LOL so ? scared of critics for his art?
