The problem with not holding down a solo album is dude only has to drop one verse a song..he literally is doing HALF the work someone like Nas has to...shyt..I would even understand if he had a list of solo hip hop SONGS..he dont even got those...even Big Boi has solo material..its not fair..Nas has done far more with rap than Andre has..its just the truth..u can say u like Andre better..but when comparing him to greats like Nas..Jay..Pac..etc..etc..he doesnt belong...most he can make is personal top lists...nikka need Big Boi just as much as Big Boi needed him...if not MORE..cause Big Boi can hold his own by himself...Andre hasnt proven that he can...even if he atleast had ONE hip hop album..dude doesnt have one hip hop SONG fam...in 20 fukkin years..thats crazy..

Dre raps, dre sings, dre plays instruments, dre produces, etc. Musically nas ain't fukking with him, when dre name is brought up in music nas shouldn't be mentioned anywhere near him, it's fukking disrespectful. That's bascially what yaw doing to me right now.

And another thing..to say the solo album shyt is a cop out is ridiculous...imagine if Jadakiss never dropped a solo album...nikkas would think he was one of the greatest cause every verse he spit melted the fukkin mic...nikkas didnt know he was an underachiever and didnt have that vision and wasnt on that level until he ventured out and dropped those solo joints and nikkas saw what he was made of...Styles would still be looked at on the backburner if he never dropped all them classic mixtapes and showed he was actually the best overall artist in The Lox..that solo work is a big fukking deal when factoring in artistry...a fool would say otherwise..
really? we gonna compare the lox to fukking outkast? that's the best you could do. i ain't even gonna repsond no more. yaw nikkas reaching.

Definitely Dre. I don't know what it is with hip-hop fans but most of you guys are so stupid and repeat nonsensical garbage like a parrot. So because Andre doesn't have a "solo album" that invalidates all the classic verses he's spit on OutKast's classic albums? Despite the fact that most people outside Nas' over zealous fan-base will confirm that Nas' career outside of Illmatic has been lackluster?

Just because Nas uses big words that he has no grasp or understanding of does not make him a better emcee than Dre. Dude is the biggest dumbass ever--just listen to one of the dumbfukks interview. I've even heard the pseudo-intellectual create entirely new words just to try and sound smart.

Nas is not seeing Andre at all. Dre's metaphors and double entendres alone are better than anything Nas has to offer. I'd even argue that Dre is a better storyteller than Nas which is probably Nas' best attribute.

And it's funny how Nas stand argue "Big Boi > Dre", but if someone was to argue "Hov > Nas" these fukks would be the same people claiming that Jay isn't better than Nas because he lacks "substance", despite being better than Nas at everything else. Not only is Big Boi too one-dimensional, but he also lacks the natural talent that Dre possesses.

you compared dre right now to jada going solo in 01, but im reaching? jada who had two albums before going solo to andre. who has 7 albums and decades worth of features. for me personally that is more than enough material to tell if somebody can rap or not, i think you'd have to be a fool if that ain't enough for you, i can do that off one album. you're reaching. you brought up biggie, he has 2 albums. Dre has way more material wtf? shyt is making no sense. big boi & cee-lo > nas too though, df all day.

Liking andre 16v16 more than NaS is :yeshrug: but you can't say that Andre is better, because theres literally no material to back you up. Nas and his insane amount of classic songs/verses blows Dre out the park. If you take the 40 best NaS verses, 3 stacks doesn't come close.

Andre at his peak is a great lyricist and is talented but Nas to me is the better artist with the better discography. I respect both though, but to me personally it's Nas significantly.

Wow you couldn't be more wrong..especially with the bolded. Nas a straight spitter with no depth? :mjlol:

Nas drops creative concepts, storytelling, dope content, has done concept albums, I don't know why people say shyt like that, they can not like it but he clearly has a lot of depth to his work. He's 1 of the most substantive artists.

metacritic?...man get this corny shyt outta here...

Exactly, how letting Metacritic or any of that bullsht determine what people feel or what the streets feel, Stillmatic was a BIG album on the streets, nearly everyone I know had that that was a Hip Hop head.

Nas, and the gap is widening between the two.

The funny thing is, the criticism that Nas sometimes receives can often be lobbied at Andre all the same. He hasn't realeased anything of significance in a decade, he takes way too long a break, an artist introvert who does questionable crossover things (See the Hendrix clone attempts, Idlewild), is wildly overrated by this regional writers (did he really deserve to be in the Hottest Mcs list in 2007 and 2008 for a total of 6 guest verses?)

Nas at least has been putting out material and as stuff like Life is Good, Untitlted has shown there's still a lot of people who feel he's aging gracefully as an artists and consistent as a lyrcist
