Does Pusha T have the best solo discography of any rapper that was in a duo?

i was trying to think of all the rappers in groups that dropped solo projects, I can't think of one that has a better solo discog than Pusha T.

Prodigy? No
Havoc? No
Andre? No material really
Big Boi? His is really good, but I lean towards no
Erick Sermon? Can be debated
PMD? No
Mos Def? Debatable
Talib? No
Kurupt? No
Daz? No
Noreaga? No
Capone? No
Pharoahe Monch? Gotta think about this one
Prince Poetry? No material really
Sean Price? Arguable
Rockness? No
QTip? No
Phife? No
Bun B? Not quite
Pimp C? No

Can someone think of someone I'm missing?

Edit: didn't think I'd have to qualify this, but rappers who dropped solo records prior to dropping duo projects do not count. Rappers who are in a larger group do not count. We're talking about rappers who first project(s) was in a duo and then became solo acts.

Big Boi

Very solid slept on and original catalogue. People claim to love this man but let him live in Andre shadow.
I would have never thought of Big Boi off the top of my head but now that you mention it...The Son Of Chico Dusty is better than any Push album. And if we include Speakerboxxx too that's even harder. I fukk with Pusha too obviously and he has some good to great albums, as well as one I wasn't that into.

I'd take Prodigy over Pusha too.

yeah I fukk with Push and his albums but Big solos were great top to bottom. I thought about Prodigy too but personally i don't like his non rhyming flow era which is basically everything from HNIC onward. more misses than hits for me.

If Bad Meets Evil is considered a duo circa '98 (per their EP release), then one could possibly toss Royce Da 5'9 into this discussion.
