When did the myth that andre 3000 is better than big boi start

[spliz]

Nah it’s real. I remember the article. But Big Boi shut that shyt down.

Andres voice is more animated. Big Boi has a laid back tone and doesn't move much from it.

So ppl misconstrue that for Andre automatically being better

People say it's an article but there's never been a quote or a cap posted anywhere online. It's been 30 years. Big was on his solos by the time he started shutting it down.

Yea but I actually read it myself. I remember being like Woow but not fully believing it and was reconfirmed when Big Boi shut that shyt down himself. I always wondered why Cee Lo lied like that. I figured cause he was salty he was originally in Outkast but got pushed to the side for Big Boi or something.

It was in a magazine back in the '00's. That or an Allhiphop.com article. I remember it because it was something that people started to run with. It got a lot of traction.

I like Andre but he hasn't done anything solo to prove he's better. Every big boi solo project has been amazing.

And again, I remember people doing the same with Eightball in the 90's. He was the favorite of Eightball & MJG. People swore he was the better of the two. There was even Eightball vs. Andre 3000 arguments back then. Even Eightball vs. Andre 3000 vs. Bun B arguments.

People did run with it but I never seen the article or anybody who could post it. This the first time in hearing it was in the 00s. Been hearing about it for years and was under the impression it was from the 90s.

I screenshotted this in 09. Some random broad said it on Twitter and he got at her.

The thing about that rumor, big's shyt was basic on the first album imo. That's the only album to me where you can say there was a gap. Dre has been consistently dope from the beginning, but big improved big time after that album.

Man, idk, in Atlanta when kast first dropped, nikkaz were saying Dre was dope as hell. They didn't talk about big boi as much. We on simpset (Simpson rd) and everyone was on Dre nuts as far as rapping was concerned.

Nah. I’m saying I actually read the Cee Lo quote fam. Lol. And then Big Boi addressed it in an interview. This was like 04-05. They asked Big Boi what was the most ridiculous thing he ever heard about himself. And Big Boi answered “that Andre 3K wrote any of my shyt”. He made sure to clear that shyt up without even being asked about it in the interview.

I just wanna see the quote.

I saw when big boi said that shyt, but he didn't mention Cee-lo. But Cee-lo does talk a lot. I notched in interviews he'll be like "maybe I shouldn't have said that". I think one time he said Dre got mad at him for saying something in sn interview, think it was the stage fright thing.

History is being kinder to dre, but if you were there you know

I hate how the only time big boi gets his props is when contrarians try to downplay andre

Cause aint none of yall dropping his name any other time we talk all time greats

And don't come at me cause I got him in my top five
