Around 2006-2007 IMO. I like him though, always did. Both him & Big Boi.

if the only name you throw out there for lyricism is q tip it tells me that we are operating with two very different definitions of who and what lyrical rapper are. andre wasnt anywhere near to dropping jewels like nas or wordplay like pun. nor was scarface.

You view lyricism very simplistically if you consider Pun a better lyricist than 3000.

Pun is a great lyricist though

When Pharrell & Kanye shifted the culture & made the 'other' negroe popular his status was elevated and history was re-written.

+ the industry was always pushing kast, the things that are common now, the disconnected between critics & fans, they were the prototype of that. we just rejected them, yall follow what they say, kendrick is a goat, yeezus was a goat album, odd future the new wu tang etc

best post in this thread. let these dweebs know.

the media always pushed them hard and didnt get far with it. kinda like what theyre doing with kendrick now, but not as blatant. then in the early '00s, they started pushing for them as some sort of goat group.

After that walk it out verse

lol, This shyt is madd funny because it's very true for most.







but for some people it goes way backk to the beginning... that nikka used to lay verses out when we were lil kids that have you imagining everything. only slightly better than bigb. Plus he described how a person ended up fukked up - and u saw shyt like that in the hood - in those exact details right in front of ur eyes.




me n my brother and cousins - Always assumed that Andre was the lead singer in the group.... Like Prodigy.

Alongtime ago, after Outkast put out classics.

It kind of started with the Source nominating him for lyricist of the year at the 1999 Source Awards. So you could say, it started with Aquemini, which was their biggest album at the time. Then it ballooned once he changed his name from Dre to Andre 3000. From there it slowly escalated to him being considered a GOAT contender with:

- Stankonia launching OutKast into super-stardom

- Eminem listing him as one of the best

-Andre withdrawing from rap in favor of singing to express himself. This made a lot of people appreciate the rapping more

- "Mighty O" coming out of nowhere and Andre pretty much saying he was "king"

- The plethora of features that followed "Mighty O"

Kast fans already appreciated the work. He was already some people's favorite, but it was more so understated then. Personally, Kast's song "Everlasting" did it for me. I don't know why, but his verse just stood out There was also "In Due Time". So when Andre started getting hailed as one of the best, it wasn't surprising. The only thing surprising is that Big Boi isn't held in high regard being he was the more popular member.
