I think he's the best in this century
well damnBut his best work was in the 20th century![]()




Other than Stankonia and some random verses here and there all we got from him this century was The Love Below and IdlewildYou can't be the greatest rapper without a solo album and NO SPEAKERBOXX don't count

But his best work was in the 20th century![]()
How can you give someone credit this century for what they did last century?So what...what if Mayweathers best fights were in the late 90s, and he has it easy in this century, hypothetically speaking. What is your point?

That's like saying MJ was the goat NBA player of the 21st century becuz he was still playing good with the Wizards. He was good but in no way did it compare to his run in the 90s with the Bulls. And your Mayweather analogy is irrelevant becuz he didn't turn pro till after 96 and mst of his fights were this century
You DID NOT read comprehensively. When I mentioned Mayweather I mentioned HYPOTHETICALLY.because of course boxing skills are harder to keep at peak for 2 decades.
MJ was in decline and there were better performing athletes during his decline, so your analogy was not comparable to mine.
IF someones best work was 20 years ago, but NOBODY has challenged them in the last 5 years while they have been coasting through that does not take away from them being the best.
You can be the best while performing at your worst(or best), if nobody has knocked you off you are still the best even though your performance is still subpar by your standards, but better than everyone else.
btw I'm not saying 3000 has been subpar by his standards, just saying no matter what level he has been performing by those standards, if nobody has challenged him he still may hold this mythical title.


3stacks was in decline once the 2000s came. Its not fair to discredit rappers who put out much better music this century just becuz he was still around. Really this whole thread is disrespectful to Big Boi. We just gonna act like 3stacks was a solo artist?You DID NOT read comprehensively.
