Andre 3000: ‘It Kills Me When People Try To Put Big Boi Down’

[shopthatwrecks]

son Big Boi had hits from that album too...Hey Ya was the biggest but nikkas was feelin Big Boi's songs too...they both still would've gotten love...Dre more but they still both would've gotten paid...u cant rationally tell me that making me lose out on millions of dollars is better than some imaginary "perception" that could have happened...and I mean MILLIONS fam...album sold like diamond....the perception happened anyway so it's not like him quitting actually helped Big Boi...he could've gave his boy that last tour...

breh we all know..when hey ya drop...they begin to get even more looks..

it was a reason at the grammys or billboard when dre made the comment that "our first album was not stankonia"

outkast never really had a all outkast or all dungeon family tour..it was all ways up in smoke type shyt..

big was not hurtin...nikka can stop rappin n eat off his pits...

II've always been a bigger fan of Big Boi than Andre 3000 just because I generally liked his verses more, and Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty got played on my iPod for about 2 years at least once a day.
The problem wasn't JUST Hey Ya!'s popularity, it was what the song crossed over to, it was popular DEEP in cac territory. When you're getting more play than an Eminem song at a suburban house party, you have made it all the way to the end, and that was what Andre 3000 did. Bowtie and The Way You Move were also very popular but nit at all to the extent of Hey Ya, and that made it incredibly difficult for Big Boi to be seen as an equal with Andre, even if his material is on the same level (and sometimes better). A lot of popular music magazines and the like have also pushed the "Andre 3000 is one of the top rappers of all time. With Rolling Stone influencing people, it was only a matter of time before some popular artist (like Eminem) would come out and cite Dre as an influence or a "favourite artist" even id 1/2 his artistry was due to OutKast being a duo.

Edit: Nevermind u posted in here lol

3k is my second favorite rapper ever, but if there was ever a doubt about Big Boi's individual greatness, Sir Luscious Left Foot destroyed that doubt

One of my favorite albums ever to be honest. It's basically perfect.

 

[BlackMajik]

glad I aint the only one noticed these dikkridin rap nikkas putting 3K in they tope 5's all of a sudden,dont remember if it was Em,Jay or Wayne who got nikkas on that shyt,and of course media and then the fans went right along with it....But props to Andre for saying this,its been disgusting how Big Boi is treated like he was what Daz was to Kurupt with the rhymes....Big Boi was never no damn ball and chain. Folks just rewriting history,and you know this becuz I don't remember nikkas fiendin for 3K to go solo....folks loved Outkast as Outkast....if 3K stood out as much as folks like to pretend now fans would've been beggin Andre to go solo and going hard on Big Boi for holding back Dre's greatness

The funny thing about this is Big Boi easily outraped Jay on Flip Flop Rock

 

[Youngblood Priest]

I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in
It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie
Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me - Eminem 2002

Group disbanded AFTER that.

Trust me there are a LOT of other examples. People were calling 3 Stacks a top rapper and most DEF better than Big Boi since the late 90's.

This is true. Westside Atl nikkaz liked the group, but we were like, dre killing this shyt. No revisions.

 

[Youngblood Priest]

People didn't start saying Dre was better to that love below shyt came out

outkast was always been alright to me, they got some classic songs, but I never fukked with any of their albums from beginning to end just wasn't feeling them like that

Dre's guest verses are hotter than anything i heard him spit on any outkast album, I think dre's the type that needs to feed off someone else to rise to greatness

you can't say you're one of the greatest rappers with no solo album to validate it

No

 

[Guvnor]

Big boi's flow is nasty and reminds me of cats like 8ball and MJG. Folks do sleep on him but it's cause Andre is so unique and creative as an artist that he stood out more.

 

[Maschine_Man]

I've always liked Big Boi a bit better ever since Southernplayalistik....

I will say this though...with 100% certainty....if Eminem never opened his mouth and said Andre, we wouldn't be having this conversation at all.

[Tribal Outkast]

I've said it b4 and I'll say it again Big Boi is one of if not the most under appreciated rapper of all time

Just listen to Big Boi spittin on Spaghetti Junction


Well we zippin around the corner in that golden stankin Lincoln
I got my heat up under my seat
Just in case these youngsters tryin to take it
Pullin the pistol on another black man was never the plot
But sometimes my brothers lose theyself and try to take my spot

His flow

His Stankonia flow is underrated
