Eh wouldn't surprise me, I think Big is highly overrated, especially with what he could write (flow/delivery was great though). He didn't really have many verses that made me say "damn that's great," although he could come up with good punchlines/metaphors/one liners. Andre has deeper subject matter imo and that makes for better verses from beginning to end, and he is probably more technically proficient tbh. Although at the same time, Big wasn't around for that long either and who knows how he would have developed.
