And Andre 3000 has no solo album, and no classic solo album, so it's 0 out of 0. But at least the others are in the conversation of solo legendary artists :yeshrug:. You shouldn't blame people criticizing Andre, blame Andre for not putting out a string of solo albums

- Andre 3000 does have a solo album, The Love Below...for some reason, it's not "solo" enough for you niccas. lol

- I've never had or overheard a "conversation of solo legendary artists" with anyone. That's dumb.
I have heard of Top 10/20 MC conversations, and never once has anyone brought up the solo/group issue.
Those conversations usually hinge on skill.

It was pre-packaged with his band mate, stop it breh :mjlol:. And even if it was a solo album, it is one album, ONE. So you'll put him in the same level real solo artists with 6+ solo albums under their belt? Stop it


You don't see Scarface fans getting all up in arms about this, even though Scarface was on the Getto Boys

You know why, Cause the nikka had a string of solo albums, half of which were classic. Just be happy Andre was in a Top 5 all time Hip Hop group. Jeez :russ:

It was sold singly as well...oh - and now you admit it was one.
A second ago, it wasn't. Okay.

I put him in the same level of "real solo artists with 6+ solo albums" if I think he's as good or better than them.

That's not why - people don't get "up in arms about this" because if you ask them about Scarface's best songs,
most of them will include his work with Geto Boys - so that shoots a hole in your theory.

Just like P with Mobb Deep, who some people say is Top 10.
Just like Kurupt with DPG, who some said was Top 10 before he put out his first solo - who is iller than Daz, but Daz has
more (and better) solos than him.
Just like Treach with Naughty, who I've heard people say is one of the greatest - yet has never dropped a solo album.

Is Outkast a Top 5 hip-hop group?

Ill say this...i definitely understand and agree with the OP...but I also understand some of the opposition for the OP's claim...but I ALSO see alot of people letting their emotions leak out in regards to Andre and posting stupid hyperbole about it. Either way I'm fukking with this thread/discussion cuz both sides presenting valid points

3 stacks was never a top 10 rapper at any point. Goofy nikkas and cacs just put him on a pedestal.

and before feelings get hurt, yes 3 stacks can rap and he's dope. He just aint top 10 material. That's all.


Thats honestly how i feel about the guy in your avi. I think he's nice but nothing about him says Top 10 of his era.

Posdnuos from De La Soul is in my top ten :manny:


:jbhmm:

I feel you because posdnous is up there for me too (atleast when he turned into the mad rapper on stakes is high)

Thing is though he made a career out of feeding off of trugoys energy just like andre did with big boi. Trugoy and big boi have an equal share in all of those classics.

:jbhmm:did big boi write Dre's rhymes? nope. the solo argument is stupid as fukk. i could see if dre only had like two albums, but the nikka has way more than enough material to determine what kind of rapper he is. if you still need a solo you stupid as fukk imo.:manny: quality >quantity.

nikkas calling people like biggie the goat and shyt and dre has wayyyy more material. shyt is a cop out argument.


This makes so much sense. I'll rep you if I could.

Summer '88... or was it '89?
Or was it wintertime? Ah, never mind..
I'm, in my room, boomin', drawin' LL Cool J album covers with crayolas on construction paper
I'm tryna fukk my neighbor, I'm tryna hook my waves up
I'm tryna pull my grades up, to get them saddle lace ups
Before lil' Marc was Jacob, before them girls wore makeup
Before my voice would break up, before we'd tour them shake clubs
Before my mama wake up, before my crumbs would cake up
Before they tell me they love me and we'll never break up
Before the time she makes love, to someone that I thought was, my homeboy
But boy was, I wrong now
I don't budge, don't want much, just a roof, and a porch
And a Porsche, and a horse, and unfor-tunately,
But of course, an assort-ment of tor-ches that scor-ches the skin, when they en-ter
Intru-ders, whose tu-tors did a lousy job
How's he God if he lets Lucifer let loose on us?
That noose on us won't loosen up but loose enough to juice us up
Make us think we do so much and do it big
Like they don't let us win, I can't pretend
But I do admit it, it feel good when the hood pseudo-celebrate
Hence why every time we dine we eat until our belly ache
Then go grab the finest wine and drink it like we know which grape and which region it came from as if we can name em, hint hint, it ain't um
Welch's, hell just fell three thousand more degrees cooler
Y'all can't measure my worth
But when you try, you'll need a ruler made by all the Greek gods
Be-cause the odds have always been stacked against me when back's against the wall
I feel right at home, y'all sitting right at home
All Kelly green with envy while I'm jelly beans descending
Into the palm of a child, looks up at mama and smile
With such a devilish grin, like "Where the hell have you been?"
She's yelling "Selling's a sin!", well so is telling young men
That selling is a sin, if you don't offer new ways to win
A dolphin gon' shake his fin, regardless if he gets in
Or out of water, most important thing for him is to swim
And Flipper didn't hold his nose, so why should I hold my tongue?
I miss the days of old, when one could hold his gal on his arm
And not set off these alarms, when cameras snap snap snap snap
Return fire, pa-pa-pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa
They'll learn why, near privacy, so essential
They won't make no laws, I break their laws till they see out our window
I take the fall to make them all treat human kind more gentle
Forsake them all, I hate them all, don't like em don't pretend to
Yea something tells me, we ain't in Kansas anymore
All that shyt that used to be cool ain't cool anymore
All the women you been pursuing, now they want more
And they deserve it all, don't settle for what ain't yours

Might legitimately be the greatest verse of all time.
