There is literally no such thing as a certified classic.. That's just something someone made up..

But okay..


Too Short has more solo albums than Q-Tip... Does that make him a better emcee?


It's not about Too short having more
Both Q-Tip and Too Short made enough to be called a solo artist, so they are both in that discussion

Can't believe we're having a conversation with an artist like Andre who hasn't even made one proper solo album. Even further, how can he be Top 10 in front of all of those solo legends, when he hasn't even put out MULTIPLE solo albums? And not even one solo classic album

So you're willing to put Andre and leapfrog him into even the Top 20, ahead of the solo rappers who have had near classics with about 4 or 5 good albums they put out? Hilarous :dead:

Please. This is Hip Hop, my n!gga. THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A CERTIFIED CLASSIC. And Liquid Swords is one of them. And I believe Q-Tip is a better MC than Too Short but why bring them up? They both have solo albums and neither one of them are considered Top MCs of all time MCs.

Who hands out these certifications?

What's a "proper" solo album?

:dahell:

Yall say he never made a solo album... When he did..

Yall say he didn't rap enough when he has more actual rapping content than Biggie, Pun, Kane, Slick Rick and plenty of other greats..

I also think the fact that people are so angry about him not having enough solo material speaks to his greatness..People feel let down and disappointed that he hasn't released more music.. I get that... I feel the same way...You never hear Mobb Deep fans call Havoc a p*ssy for not releasing more solos...It's something that I guess they feel they can live without...

The shyt he sayin is dumb as fukk..everybody wanna be a critic..so u gotta respect it..

cee-lo said in the beginnin dre wrote all bigs verses on the 1st album..

solo album or group..

dont mean shyt..he showed up all of the kast albums, soundtracks..nikkas in his click albums..n when is called for a feat..he make sure he break them nikkas off

dre never gave a wack verse..in the group..soundtrack or fa featured on someone elses album

dre in a since got a excuse but nikkas wont accept it ...why he wont do a solo...jive tried to fukk the group up by puttin pressure on dre to do a solo..

n the solo they wanted from him..alot of his critics on here...would write him off..hey ya was known globally...jive wanted dre to put a solo album full of hey ya like songs...dre was already burnt out from performin it every 4mins..

whole time big boi got a whole album ready to drop... had a street single..with 3stacks n raekwon royal flush..n a radio single with mary j that was gettin spins..got a grammy nomination for royal flush...

jive shelved big ...kuz dre didnt wanna commit to a solo on their terms..

big got a solo deal..with grand hustle..was ready to release it..jive sent letters sayin anything with andre on it...need to be removed or lawsuits were comin..

pissed big off..went to def jam..red did the album..n finally got a release date...




dre the only mc that get flack from critics...but his peers..put em in their top 5 of all time dead or alive..nikkas like scarface rankin him as one his favorites of all time..

if a great is puttin that boy in a list..of top 5 dead or alive..and its 2900000000000 raooers that could be named...fukk a critic

Exactly...

Id take Andres discog (Outkast) over Jay and BIG for real.

Outkast first 3 albums are right there with Tribes first 3, PE too. People just talking ignorant and reckless about their work.

And let's not act like if Andre dropped a solo album with Organized Noize in 1996 that that shyt wouldn't have been absolutely bananas.

Andre had never dropped a weak 16 in his life and he's still doing it today.

People forget too that Andre was raw on the mic in his early days. Listen to a song like DEEP. His 2 verses were crazy, he really couldn't be fukked with at that time.

You're putting shoulda coulda wouldas in the Top 10 all time list, while there is 20 other solo legendary rappers who have put out 5 or more solo albums, which each having at least one classic album. Hilarious

GZA made a certified classic...A SOLO...has a string of really dope SOLO albums (doesn't have a bad solo in his discography) and he is another rapper that is mentioned often when talks of rappers who never dropped a wack verse come up. He definitely deserves to be mentioned over Andre.

GZA is dope as hell Liquid Swords and his work with DJ Muggs were real dope. He's not better than Andre though.

Please show me where I said he was top 10

You think Dre and Organized Noize would have dropped a weak album in 96? You're the hilarious one.
