The praise started when he started hopping on remixes in 06.
When did the myth that andre 3000 is better than big boi start

So what you're basically saying is the circles you were in [in a borough of NY] thought Big Boi was nicer? Yeah now it makes sense.
No that's not what I said at all. I said nobody was seen better as either one. They were looked at as equals. And I traveled all my life.

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
Growing up in Atlanta I never really felt compelled to compare them b/c I always saw them as one, but looking at it objectively 3000 was the better lyricist and a more complete and versatile artist. Big Boi is a great artist in his own right, but I always felt 3000 was deeper, story telling was more vivid & introspective. Big Boi was a beast but I'd take 3 Stacks

Every group has the dude who gets everyone's attention
Outkast - Andre 3000
A Tribe Called Quest - Q-Tip
Mobb Deep - Prodigy
IMO Big Boi is just as good as 3K or slightly worse
then only difference is "3000 was deeper, story telling was more vivid & introspective."
but Big Boi is great, can spit and has a crazy flow, plus his lyrics amuse me
it's like listening to Ice Cube or Mos Def
both great, 1 is just really deep and introspective

I'm waiting for the Juelz Santana > Cam thread.
That should be entertaining.
I also think 3000 makes Nas stans uncomfortable.

You probably never heard anybody say it because it didn't need to be said.

The fact that Em said it also means it was an opinion that had to have been floating around among hip hop heads. He had a pretty safe list.

Why do we have to do this shyt
I love Outkast as Dre + Big Boi. Their synergy was/is incredible. Like we said before they are Magic and Kareem not Jordan and Pippen

For me the question is when did dude even become an excellent rapper...Out of the blue dude was a staple in everybody's top 10...
People started putting 3000 in the upper echelon of emcees after Atliens, Aquemini solidified it.
Nah. I ran thru the first three albums one day specifically looking for when big boy washed 3k in a song. It only happened maybe 3 times. They're pretty even 60-70% of the time. And about 30-40% of the time Dre takes it decidedly.
Cause that's definitely not the case, big boi has a better verse lyrically than 3 stacks like on every damn song. Is it the delivery that confuses people?
Kast is the Goat hip hop Duo IMO, it pained me to even play their music looking for bias like that.
