Why would I lie. During that era, Kast was getting features, but we mostly saw Big featured. For years I assumed, like most, that it was because he was indeed more popular, but in retrospect there's songs like "Street Talkin" that say featuring Outkast and only Big is featured. Nobody ever knew why Andre wasn't on the song. Same goes for "'85" where Big Boi is featured and no Andre and Andre and J-Bo are cousins. There's Missy's "All N My Grill" which features Big Boi, but she also professes to be a huge 3 Stacks fan.
Are you from atl or lived there during that era? You didn't answer.

Always thought it was weird how people would mention Andre in their songs and not Big Boi, like the level of talent was that wide between them. They would even say OutKast and then say Andre right after, like he was the leader of the group.

It reminds me of how some people disrespect Guru in an attempt to praise DJ Premier, as if Gang Starr was Premier doing all the work trying to carry an average-sounding bum.

I always thought Big Boi and Andre were on the same level, talent-wise. It all depends on your preference. They compliment each other well. I never listened to an OutKast track and thought either got murdered on the track by the other.
Exactly.
I think people started looking at it through a competitive lens after “Renegade” and due to message board chatter

Outkast fans love both. People will do this Big Boi is better stuff off and on acting like we don’t know he’s nice. Same people ain’t said nothing about his music post Outkast… Big just recently put a song out with Sleepy Brown. who’s really talking about it though? The tweet in the OP framed the tweet making it look like Big Boi posted that rap after Dre’s verse from Kanye’s song leaked and got all the praise. Big Boi posted that rap himself like a week ago abd Nobody was saying this stuff. They’re talking now because Dre is getting praise again. It’s sickening… it’s possible to love both Big and Dre at the same time.

Sir Luscious is an underrated album and he already put his time in OutKast. He has to be up there on the GOAT list. He goes neck to neck with Andre imho. I think folks just gravitate to Andre’s mystique, charisma and eccentricities more.




crazy that album was dope as fukk... then when he dropped these on twitter back in the day... n told us where to put them within the album since jive removed them...

made that album even doper
