:sadbron: bu, bu, but he doesn't have a solo album.


dre's mole has more lyrical talent than these :flabbynsick: ass rappers yaw be hyping like it's 95 and shyt. I'd rather dre not drop a solo album than drop some weak shyt like the so called goats been doing these past 15 years. he ranks in the upper echelon.


quality > quantity

nobody washed anybody wtf....

But where Big Boi was better? Jazzy Belle. Chonkyfire. Skew it on the Bar-B. ATLiens. I could go on.

Here's how I see their paths.

Coming into Southernplaya, Big Boi was more polished than Dre and in more of a comfort zone considering the heavy-southern pimping vibes of the first album. That was BB's forte.

As they went from album to album, Big Boi kinda remained on a steady line (but he did get better gradually) but Andre's rise was meteoric from album to album. On ATLiens, they were more or less equal though still maybe Big Boi was slightly better. But from Aquemini onwards, it's been all Andre, skill-wise at least.

Thing is, people say Andre has no solo so we'll never know. But we do have S/TLB, and Speakerboxxx was far superior. That's when I knew Big Boi was better. And one of the main reasons people are drawn to Andre is because he's so out of the box with his personality and his charisma, but when BB went solo, he showed he was just as eclectic and flavoursome.
again I hate to say it but even tho Andre had weird songs on love below he was spitting. Happy valentines day/Spread/she lives in my lap/ a day in the life of Andre Benjamin were vastly superior songs than anything on speakerboxx.

A Day in the Life is insanely good.

But once again, standout songs versus a consistent back to front playable album, and that really on a smaller scale embodies their careers on a larger scale. Big Boi more consistently dope material, not so much peaks and falls.

this line has always stuck with me and it comes back to me when I deal with relationships. I know he has better stuff but something about this one:wow:
