Andre 3000 not performing with Big Boi during their Hall of fame was disrespectful to HipHop, he secretly looks down on rap

It certainly does. Ice Cube got moved down on many list becauase he made "Are We There Yet":gucci:.


Other than that,no reason that 3 classics,1 near classic 20 years later. Plus 2 classic group albums and one near classic(Guerelilllas In the Mist) dont have you top 3 on every nikkas list over 40.


Not to mention people on here talking about his legacy simply for saying we dont need to be loyal to Democrats,and being willing to talk to republicans. If Cubes legacy can be questioned or reconsidered,who the hell is 3K:mjlol:?
Stop it brotha
Ice Cube got moved down because of the trash he put out when he bacame Don Mega/Pimp with that trash ass flow :russ:

Ice Cube should've pulled a Dre 3000 in the mid 90's, he would be top 5 no debate

This the dumbest shyt in this thread. It doesn’t matter how many solo albums you release. What matters is the quality of the music that you do release, no matter if it’s solo or group.

Big Boi can release 100 more albums, it has no bearing on the quality of music that Andre put on multiple albums with him.

Big Boi rapped better on that albums to me slightly

@spliz so you don’t think Melle Mel and Run belong on a best rapper list? Both dropped solo albums way in the 2000s that nobody listened to so I don’t see how they’re relevant to whether they belong on a list or not.

How many list do u find Run on as a solo artist that’s away from the group? I don’t think I’ve EVER seen that happen. lol. Melle Mel gets that love as a pioneer especially when it comes to reality rap. He basically started that shyt. Plus he was the main one rapping half the time. And he don’t get put over certain cats on most list either. But like I said he’s a pioneer so he gets measured from a different stick. A lot of artists from that time frame didn’t have fully fleshed out solo careers like that. One person I will give u is Chuck D. Still I rarely find him in objective top 5 all time list rather than personal lists. Still he was a pioneer. They get graded on a certain curve. They was the brick layers of this shyt. But in comparison to cats like Rakim, KRS and LL. They don’t be on lists higher than them. It’s the reason why Cube and even Dre get rated away from NWA. Why Scarface gets rated away from Geto Boys. The list goes on fam.

Andre don’t have NO solo albums nikka. String together 10 solo Andre hip hop SONGS fam. U can’t . That counts for something. shyt. I don’t see NONE of u nikkas rating Ceelo. Meanwhile Ceelo was right there with Dre lyrically AND he did the alternate shyt better than Dre. He could sing and play instruments better than Dre as well. And Big Boi dropped dope albums. It ADDS to his legacy with OutKast. Yet WEIRDOS that’s so thirsty for a South version of Jay and Nas keep disrespecting Big Boi for this lame nikka. Ain’t no logical reason for there to be a hip hop top 50 list. Have Andre sitting on the top 10 or top 5. And have Big Boi at number 25 or 30 or some shyt. That shyt is WILD flagrant I don’t care what nobody say. Nobody gonna convince me otherwise. Thats pretentious af. And what makes it WORSE. Is the fact that the nikka don’t even respect hip hop as a craft. So why force this nikka on these lists when he don’t even respect the shyt?

Cee Lo is easily a better singer than Andre 3000 and a better overall artist. Cee Lo isn't as skilled on other instruments as Andre 3000. 3000 played most of the instruments on Love Below. Andre is a better MC though Cee Lo's performance on Soul Food >>>> Andre up until ATLiens. Andre on "Thought Process" is why he's ranked.

There was a a list in the 90's where Andre 3000 and Cee Lo Green made the Top 50 greatest MC's. Big Boi wasn't ranked. The Source nominated Andre 3000 lyricist of the year. No Big Boi. Andre 3000 got quotables. No Big Boi. Cee Lo Green got the quotable for his verse for "Git Up, Git Out".

If the South wanted someone to push into the Jay and Nas convos, there was already Scarface. Wayne was pushed into those convos as well. To a lesser extent, so was T.I. Maybe just maybe, a lot of people were impacted by Andre 3000's lyrics and his lyrics impacted Hip Hop in such a way that the culture sees him as a GOAT even without a solo album.

Jadakiss is in these lists and we don't even see Styles mentioned even though his debut solo album is better than any Jada solo.

Artists produce.

CeeLo has been a more active artist than Andre 3000. His work with Goodie Mob, within the Dungeon Family, as a solo artist, with Danger Mouse...

The only way you can argue that Andre 3000 is a better artist is if you believe that 3k's OutKast output from 1994 to 2002 is significantly superior and diverse to anything CeeLo has ever put out. Superior... maybe. Diverse... No. The Love Below isn't enough here. Neither is that abortion of a flute album.

And this also applies to comparisons between BigBoi and Andre as well. Regardless of personal preference, the only way you have Andre in a top 5 with Big Boi nowhere closeby is if you believe Andre was so far ahead of his partner across the 4 albums that Big Boi could have been swapped out with Pras :mjlol:

Andre 3000 is 50 years old and has been rapping since he was in his teens. He’s obviously fell out of love with rapping and performing and isn’t inspired to do it anymore. Why can’t he honor that feeling? How many things did you do when you were 16-17 that you’re no longer interested in doing now???I understand the feeling because I was a Dj for 20 years & I’m never djing publicly again.

I honestly find Andre 3000 refreshing. Hip-Hop keeps a lot of people in suspended adolescence or arrested development and he's one of the few rappers who have grown old gracefully and said look, I'm over this shyt, the game has passed me by and I don't want to spend time trying to pretend I'm still young. Just let me play my flute, produce art on my own timing, enjoy my life and when the feeling hits me, I'll drop a verse for a young artist.

Yeah soon as he get on stage nuggas gonna rush to the Internet, make memes and talk shyt anyway. It's good he acknowledges that part of his life is over
it’s like ppl don’t remember how critical ppl was in real time when they performed at Coachella in 2014
