I swear y’all annoying as hell with these threads it’s a shame to see

How many classic albums Jay got? None

How many classics Andre got? Like 4 or 5

he also produced a lot of his music.

idk what the f*** people in ktt been on, 3k definetly is a contender for top 10 of all time, top 5 would be much more arguable (even tho he is in mine).

he has some of the best verses, hooks and music in the history of the genre. his music reached beyond hip hop audiences, and Is one of the most influential rappers artistically of all time (specially in the 2010s). OP mentions Drake and Kendrick when GKMC, TPAB and TC wouldn't be the same without Andre's influence.

yeah have to give credit to Organised Noise, but some of the best production was done by Andre, Big Boi and Mr DJ and sometimes just Andre

Not just TPAB and TC, Andre is one of the first parts of the 808s shift in hip hop

Kanye, Cudi, Drake, Kendrick, Thug, Future and Frank all had massive Andre influence in their music and artistry in some way, and all these are Ktt goats. How is he not top 10 of all time?

There’s a new wave of rappers today influenced by Andre: Smino, Chance, Noname, Saba, Goldlink, Mac Miller, Raury, Isaiah Rashad

He is about as influential as Kanye or Wayne

most solo artists aren't one person anyway.

Andre made as much of Outkast's music as a lot of solo artists make of their own discography. just cos it only has their name on it, what difference does it make?

My 2 favorite rappers Kanye and Kid Cudi are clearly influenced by OutKast

Y’all really just be talking huh lmfao
Nigga said no one in real life hahahaha legit a whole city down south that would disagree

So OP just acting like OutKast doesn't exist???? Dre also produced most of atliens, aquemini, and stankonia by himself, but hey yeah lets run that aint have no solo album argument into the ground because we aint got nothing else.

Andre did more on those Outkast albums than most rappers do on their solo s*** lmfao

Two glorified sneaker salesman with ghostwriters

it's sad how we never got a 3k solo album. he definitely has a lot of s*** to talk about, it's been 14 years since Idlewild. If HOV could make 4:44 after a 4 year hiatus, 3k can definitely make a classic after 14 years. At least give us another Kast album

that jazz ep thing he released two years ago was dope af

sadly, dre just not into rapping no more

A better question is why is Big Boi sidelined so heavily 🤨

Because Dre is obviously better. I love big boi, but dre kills him on most tracks after southern

Boy what

3k was way more distinct and was rappin better on Southern than Big Boi, few times Big Boi kinda blended into the background.

Big Boi started rapping his ass off after that album tho, caught up wit dre and even out rapped him more than a few times

incorrect, they were about the same level on southern, but dre surpassed him when he expanded his subject matter on atliens and big boi just kept rapping about what hes always rapped about. Dre got more interesting as time went on and big boi stayed the same;

Imo he’s overrated
He don’t even have a solo
But I’m not gonna argue he’s not top 10 if someone has em in theirs

Outkast has many classic albums.
Big Boi has one classic album.
Andre 3000 has no classic albums.

Unless we're gonna count Speakerboxxx/The Love Below as individual solo albums then Big Boi has two classics and Andre has one.

And here's someone who has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
