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.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.

line for line, bar for bar, verse for verse he can hang with the best. so where he rank at for you?
