Personally I think Big Boi and Andre 3000 are both stars. They both bring different things to the table that make them the biggest rap group of all time. I also believe that people could put a little bit more respect on Big's name for the bars that he brought. That's how I feel.
💯! There aint but ONE Big Boi and ONE Andre 3000! They bring different things to the table. There was as bright a light on them, as a GROUP, as there has ever been on any group. There aint nothing wrong with a light shining in different ways. They great separate, but IMMORTAL together!
And what Dre is worried about is what if you don't like it like you think you will. If you think about it 3k can spit deep bars but he can't rap on some fly shit like Big Boi. Can you really imagine 3k battle rapping or inna Cypher like big Boi or Killer Mike or Goodie Mob could
@@djb9229 uhhhh fuck yeah. Organized Noise talked bout him and Big boi going off for half and hour straight, so yeah cypher and alt that definitley wouldn’t be no Big thing for him. And southernplayalisticadillacmuzik has him doing both his natural thought provoking wise bars, and straight fly “playalistic” style.
Nah he Right Dre was that guy Group Wise....But Big's solo albums were CRAZY CRAZYYY!!! Then I realized Big was carrying 3000 as a good teammate! But Big is THAT N* ya heard me...Truly overlooked his bars are outta this universe!!
Miyagi FatGhost I understand where you coming from but you can’t necessarily say Big carried Dre when Dre never had a TRUE solo album to prove otherwise. Dre woulda done just as good if not better as a solo artist imo. I respect your POV tho
@@Hunter2847 It makes perfect sense. At this point Andre doesn't need the limelight it comes to him by default & that's what makes him feel pressure to live up to certain standard that fans put on him.
Pats Good well I disagree I guess, is Fetty Wap a star? No I wouldn’t say but he was at one point. Idk 3k’s situation b I’m waaaay outside of the OutKast community but from my point of view there’s silence when it comes to 3k bc I’ve heard no mention of him In a long time so I wouldn’t consider him to be a big star at the moment. That’s just me, maybe he’s got a bunch of stuff going on idk about. That Ellie girl is a star at the moment...Adele is not so much. That’s how I see it. I guess here all star by default but I mean they have their time when they shine the brightest and some shine brighter than others
@@Hunter2847 😂😂 idk why Fetty came up. You proving my point tho. He's not mention because he doesn't care for the limelight but he's definitely a Mega Star just last year random ppl were seeing Andre in general population in NY walking around more than often & every time someone post it on social media & it easily became a trending topic every time. Another example DRAKE(arguably the biggest Artist in the world) & Lil Baby drop a record last year & it got over shattered by Andre 3000 who drop a song of him singing & mostly playing a flute it sent social media into frenzy. Every time he drops a guest verse it sends Hip Hop Culture into a frenzy. That's Mega Star status.
First off Dre doesn't rap because he doesn't like having to do interviews and be a public figure. That's a big reason why Hollywood didn't work for him like it could have. He isn't the "star" he just has exceptional talent. For all intents and purposes Dre is basically a male rap version of Summer Walker who can perform concerts.
What he’s really describing is Idlewild and if you’re really an OutKast fan you’d know that Dre would actually agree with him. He’s said it in damn near every interview
Real talk bro. I could tell it was gon be some bs when he went to this where atl gon be against me and all that. Big boi is fye! No doubt.. 3000 stacks is just in another stratosphere. Personally I dont have anyone fukkin wit him.
Andre is so unique, that sometimes he doesn't fit in, but it doesn't stop him from being himself and that's a star that keeps shinning. He's not my favorite, but he's still in the conversation.
"It's him and I Aquemini"!!! That's why it's Big and Dre, not one or the other. Yes Stacks is amazing, but so is Big, folks ain't listening. Music is subjective yes, but once you break down the lyrics you will see that they are both in fact lyrical geniuses and demand the same EXACT respect. #ATLIENS
@@mrscooteranderson935 and I think that's where you get into the fact of music is subjective because if you're singing both of their praises, then the only thing that separates the bars is what feels better to you musically

Dre opened the floodgates when he said “The south got something to say” at the source awards. So when you speak of Dre, put some RESPECT on it....PERIOD!
They needed each other no one man outshined the other that outta this world eccentricity 3stacks had was leveled out by the down to earth hood stories of big boi ying/yang 💯💯
@@jenoWC funny u named the other 2 for me. Ball & G plus UGK. Not knocking who else u named bc I fuxs with RunDmc and Murda Muzik is one of my favorite albums so it's hard choice but......
I totally agree with you. They were very well put together as a group. They both are great. I am a very big fan of 'Kast and love em both equally together as well as solo. Ide just rather have them as a group.
I totally agree with the brother but one thing to note is why 3 stacks is such an exceptional and rare talent: because he chose NOT to conform to the industry standard & maintain his purity. The same argument can be made about Lupe and Jay Elec.
3000 like Lauryn Hill.....they never bought into the stardom.......but dude is absolutely selling 3000 short, Hes one of the most intelligent cats you'll ever have a conversation with.....Real conversation that is!!
I respect this brothers opinion I agree with some of what he said but not all. Andre is Great. Big Boi is Great. I don’t think he was putting down Dre at all. He said it right what one didn’t have the other had. That Gemini and Aquarius connection. That’s why the name Outkast fit. They were two sides of the same coin. Big Boi doesn’t get enough props. Andre even admitted Big is a better MC. That can be debatable. It depends on who you gravitate more towards. Personally I don’t separate the two. Yes Big Boi has solo albums. But when those two link together it’s magical. Aquemini is my favorite Kast album. That was the perfect complement to their greatness.
Diwani Spark sleeeep don’t care what no one says everybody entitled to their own opinion but Andre 3000 was better then big boi Andre my 2nd favorite of all time behind pac
Josh Taylor indeed fam. They simply work magic together. Aquemini was the only album I bought off the strength of the source 5 mic album ranking. The song that did it for me was Da Art of Story Tellin’. I’m from Philly they played it on a format called make it or break it. If callers vote to break it they wouldn’t play it on the show. It kept winning every night. Their first 3 albums classics and Stakonia possible 4
keemkeeley trust me Andre is up there for me too. He’s a fellow Gemini like me. But I think Big Boi doesn’t get his props. It’s like dude was saying people felt Andre more shoot I feel Andre more. But those two together is legendary.
I just want another Outkast Album. Andre and Big is both legendary artists. Andre is so different you not going to understand it unless you think outside the box.
Outkast is the perfect definition of "Ying and Yang"! Where one lacks, the other picks up and interpret it different. Doesn't mean one is weaker, thats the complimented between the 2. Like Pimp C and Bun!!! Cmon yall!!!! Why do we always have to "compare" OUR own greatness?
I’m a huge OutKast fan. Always have been but, he actually has a point. I get it. He’s basically saying that Big Boi is a more well rounded artist. He’s also lyrical but, he has the personality to do more and be recognized for more than his rapping ability. Just cool for no reason.
How is Big Boi a more well rounded artist when Andre 3000 is better lyrically, sings, and can play the guitar and other instruments?...Big Boi couldn't make a Prototype, Andre could make a I Like The Way You Move though
@@rondavis19 So what you’re saying is Big Boi sucks just like everybody else be saying? Cmon man. Big Boi can rap his ass off but he also did a little more than Andre as far as films also. Big Boi also does producing also.
@@SoulOfTheSouth I never said Big Boi sucked....not even once. Yes he can rap his ass off and yes he is lyrical, but he is not more lyrical than Andre 3000, period. You said he's a more well rounded artist and he's not. Andre raps and sings. And why you bringing up films bro? lol
Dangerous Lies and Vicious rumors, and Boomiverse are classic Big Boi albums. I personally think the machine didn't get behind Big Boi like OutKast as a group. Dre is a creative genius! The Love below was classic if you want to accept that as a solo album. Dre's wordplay is simple, common, and clever to listeners which is relatable; while Big's wordplay is more complex and whimsical ( two midgets in the back seat wrestling). They are both Stars in my book!! We all love OutKast.
This katt a HATER from his birth of his mama. You gotta give another brother credit when you know damm well he deserves it "Andre 3000". From the clothing, cartoons, and rap what more does he need to be star in a hater 👀 smh
You're trying too hard to prove something that is really just your opinion my guy... The TRUTH is that we don't value people for their "Star" quality we value their positive, conscious, and enlightened contributions to Hip Hop Culture and our lives as a whole... period.
He never said he didn't like 3000. Gave him all the credit for being a great rapper. I get what he trying to say tho. Big Boi was the personality of Outlast. Dre more reserved and chill.
“Nas doesn’t move me” Then you ain’t listenin boy People fear what they don’t understand, hate what they can’t conquer, guess it’s just the theory of man
I think there's a little shade, because he's close friends with Cee-lo. And in the Cee-lo, 3000 debate/rivalry... he sides with Cee-lo. PK been very close with the Dungeon since the beginning, so there is some personal feelings in there.
Its krazy, i find alot of the older Atlanta street cats feel this way. Whereas people nationwide and internationally feel Dre is the more complete artsist and definitely a Star!... interesting.
gmail user it still don’t make sense ....he’s a major artist “marketing” is to sell...so if he’s already successful..then he’s marketing just fine ....we always get “marketing” confused with pushy sales people and overly talkative sellers....if your product is legit then your marketing is educating on the product and allowing it to be displayed.....if he’s talking love and hip hop type stuff ...that’s not for everybody
“Big is great....Dre is great....OutKast is Tha Sh!t”. That’s all he had to say. Period, But I can see where he coming from. Much luv to Big Boi and 3000👑👑💯
Ken,I have to disagree with you on this one. As a 40 year old who discovered Outkast in 1993 in the 8th grade, I do believe that Dre is a star whose exceptionally talented or vice versa. The thing that you may not account for is Dre is an introvert so what you were saying about the light is true. Dre does not seek attention Big Boy became the personality yes, but after the ATLiens album people were tuned in to hear the music and to see what Andre was going to wear. Dre wrapped circles around most artists for about 10 years. The love below was unquestionably the best album of the year, it was Dre's solo performance and he changed the shade of the light, so there was no exposing any flaws
Dre is an artist. Big is a rapper. Dre does more than just music. Stars in their own right. Men in their own standing. Stop comparing the two and do what they did. Come together.
DEEP: I love how this brother broke that down. Makes me think of myself. I like being low key bekuz everything will be seen and known, if I had all the attention.
Okay, here's the simple fact.. Outkast is one of the greatest Rap Groups EVER and we just need to leave it at that. Big Boi is not a better member of Outkast than Dre and neither is Dre a better member than Big.. Any of this type of discussion is just a catalyst to division, confusion and unnecessary conflict which happens all the time and causes breakups in groups, we need to stop this kind of stuff because it is not productive.
Nah he really not. Think bout it. When have you seen a Andre 3000 interview that you can sit thru? Now when have you seen a Big Boi interview that you can? Big boi holds the star power dynamic not Andre 3000. You can prefer 3 stacks as the rapper, but he not a star media personality type person. He is the hermit. Star power is not only your talent but also personality, being able to sell anyyhing they do, and so on. Star power is embodied by Big Boi not Andre 3000. That's where exceptional talent differs from a star... big boi just has the true star power on top of exceptional music ability
@@LowercaseKev while I respect your view, I see it slightly different. I'm going to use Mike Jackson and Prince as references both were amazing as well as introverts so their personalities wasn't inviting. Exceptional talent is what makes you reach stardom. Big Boi is nice with his however he's more relatable then a lyricist. Stacks is on the plateau where not many have reached however his talent exceed the norm. Without exceptional talent your personality alone cannot get you to stardom
EXACTLY!!! This is the type of guy Big Boi looked up to and rapped about in the beginning! I’m sure he feels he’s getting praised for his background when he hears Big Boi... “they taught me how to smoke herb/I followed them when they ran numbers”
Andre the heart and soul of outkast the love below showed that when it carried speakboxxx to the grammys and won them album of the year the love below was the appeal not speakboxxx
I think I get what he's saying, 3000 is a "star" becuz he is indeed great at what he does, but he's not a star personality...so it's all about his talent🤔...
Outcast Icons! One Lemon,One Lime. Rock them both at the same time. Their shine is truly one of a kind. Combination blinding light so bright cause one's a comet and one's a star Just two dope boys in a Cadillac car!
The cd that matters ...the love below......big boy had 1 track ....3000 had the a cd ..u could play from start to finish....stop playing with ice cold! !
I agree but his point is without Big Boi he would probably just be Kid Kudi or Lupe Fiasco because he lacks personality (in Pretty Ken's opinion) that does not make him a star....
Bruh every ONE of these interviews slap! B High, I’m tuned in and I’m LOCKED in! You ask the informative questions we really want answers to and you know how to let the person SPEAK! THANK YOU for not talkin over your guests all the time like most people do. Thank you for letting them tell and FINISH stories! You’re dope af and I hate that I’m so late to the party. Everyone you interview is either someone I listened to growing up, still listen to or somehow connected to one of those! And they not up there bullshittin on some Hollywood shit, either. AND I’ve never seen you post a clickbait title! You 💯 in my book B High.
They were parts of the same star. Each contributing self to impact hip hop as a single entity, OutKast. Legendary group and lasting influence. One n the same.
$avannah, Ga... We been putting it on tha Map. Thank you for giving us our just due. Much love B High-P.K. too. Thug in peace Camaflauge... What up Big-Frazior homes
I am 40 yrs old, originally from Little Rock. My Triple OG (he 50plus), from Texas, can't stand Nas, but I bump Nas religiously. I moved to Indianapolis in 01. I was bumping DJ Screw out there and people were trippin the fuck out. The youngsters NEVER HEARD of it.
This guy is speaking pure facts. Exactly why 3000 cannot be in top 10 conversations. No solo albums. And cannot produce work independently without Big Boi.
I've always said if Dre is on any list you gotta put Big Boi on the list too, not as a duo but individually cause he is the only dude that can ever keep up with Dre on every track
Andre 3000 also had that instantly recognisable baisal twang vocal pitch and he had beyond the music had the larger than life personality/ fashion / crazy in him. When an Andre3000 driven or heavy Outkast single or non single vatchier track dropped then it was auto gold. When I first gosy into Outkast w/ B.O.B. I used to focus on Andre. As years, albums and life went on I started to gravitate heavier towards Big Boi. Sure he can reach the same heights thkough slightly less .... Big Boi is way more consistent.
This made me emotional. This dude has relevant points about the difference between an artist and an entertainer but his verbiage is wrong and he is clearly skewed toward entertainers rather than thought leaders. He’s a feeling dude. But for those of us who think first, “Naw bruh, Andre is a conduit of higher ideas, then pleasure.”
I get what he's trying to say But he didn't Word it Correctly. Love Outkast. Favorite Group Ever, But 1 thing I always said about Dre: If he can be in the Music Industry and Rap and have nobody know who he is, He would do it in a heartbeat. Somewhat Ironic a Guy like 3 Stacks who is known for Standing out with his Dress Attire and Not Conforming to Southern Trends During the Group's Heyday not liking the Spotlight. Big Boi is the other Side of the Coin. He loves the Spotlight. He has always been the most personable of the 2 and the Most talkative publicly. Andre dosent even have Social Media. Their Contrasts, Both Musically and personally is what made them special as a Group, But I don't think they reach the popularity that they did if Dre was the pure Focus of the group
@@mrscooteranderson935 but Andre is only comfortable when he can rely on bigboi . Andre needed bigboi to do the movies they did together. When andre had to do a movie on his own (jimi Hendrix) he did not have the dedication. And when de la soul wanted to do an album with outkast , it was dre that didn't want to do the project. Now he lives in New York, searching for himself. I understand why he's searching for himself
Lmao at andre needs to rely in big boi when the love below carried the double album disc, and is the reason they won album of the year at the Grammys big boi don't hold a candle to 3stacks musical genius and that album showed who's REALLY needs who
Nefer khnumu Builders Society Have you ever heard 3000 on ANY remixes where he's featured? People only listen to hear him kill whoever he's on the track with. Come on folks.. You gotta be joking. They both are stars, but they can carry their own weight
When I saw the title I was like hold up, but when he explained it in his views.... I understand where he was coming from. Hell even though I think both are stars to me. Outkast are a stars anyway
This is outright tomfoolery and false. Dre's look post-Southernplayalisticcadillacmuzik is why people really paid attention to Outkast. That's why he's the most known of the group by far. Big Boi is dope but he's just more active...and still most people can't name a solo song by him. Yet we're still waiting for a Andre solo or just to see what he's doing/wearing.
You actually just proved his point. After that album the “light” got brighter on the group. 3k adjusted to it by finding himself through other expressions of art. Big Boi reacted to the “light” by becoming more of who and what he already had.
@@actornmn Being a star is about the "it" factor and not necessarily talent at all. If they show up separately at an awards show, which is gonna get the most attention by far?
I get what he's saying. Big Boi is flashy..loves the spotlight..Dre just wants behind the scenes. He just wants to rap..he's a bonafide artist. Artist do what they want..stars do what they're told. #team3000
Personally I think Big Boi and Andre 3000 are both stars. They both bring different things to the table that make them the biggest rap group of all time. I also believe that people could put a little bit more respect on Big's name for the bars that he brought. That's how I feel.
B HIGH! I'M WIT YA ON ALL THAT! MUCH LOVE BRO. RADIOOOO SHAWTY!!! YOU'RE A STAPLE IN THE CITY! NO CAP!
Thank you bro! ELI WOODS

That dude is crazy, Dre don't wanna rap anymore because he's not feeling the industry
He don't feel comfortable and he can't find inspiration. There is a good podcast episode with him and Rick Rubin.
Mean Andre 3000
Isnt he like a VP or something at Def Jam?
Dre msy have made a deal with the devil and now he running from the aftermath of that deal!
First off Dre doesn't rap because he doesn't like having to do interviews and be a public figure. That's a big reason why Hollywood didn't work for him like it could have. He isn't the "star" he just has exceptional talent. For all intents and purposes Dre is basically a male rap version of Summer Walker who can perform concerts.
Both Big Boi and Andre 3000 are both Mega Stars , very lyrical , poetic , metaphorical ,they had great bars and verses.
3000 don’t want that stardom. He’s artist he just wants to do art.
Exactamundo
Very true
Then why hasn’t he dropped any albums! Big Boi is still dropping music Dre hasn’t one solo project
Andre says he doesn’t wanna mess up his legacy
Concure.
What he’s really describing is Idlewild and if you’re really an OutKast fan you’d know that Dre would actually agree with him. He’s said it in damn near every interview
Andre has become a mythical figure at this point. He’s the epitome of a superstar.
Absolutely
Well said.
Ichigo Uzumaki word 💯
You’re misunderstanding this guys entire point.
Facts....
"I'd rather be a comet by far..." - 3K
Dre can rap, sing, and act. How is he not a star? When he raps the world stops because of who he is. He doesn’t want the spotlight.
Dre acts a little too feminine for black Atlantans taste
@The 5-Star Review 2020 Erykah Put that thang on him...or did she put tht thang “in” him? Lol
As he said, there’s a difference between being talented and a star. Will Smith is a Star. 3k is an exceptional talent.
Sing?? Naw that nigga CAN NOT SING 🤣
I rock with PK on this one and I'm a huge 3000 fan. Yes, he can act... but seriously, how many classic movies has he done in the past 10 years??

Chaz Talley Fuckin Right! by his own definition of what a STAR is qualifies 3000 immediately.
Real talk bro. I could tell it was gon be some bs when he went to this where atl gon be against me and all that. Big boi is fye! No doubt.. 3000 stacks is just in another stratosphere. Personally I dont have anyone fukkin wit him.
Lol. Sooooooooo true!!
WillieGreen he’s not talking about music, he’s talking about stardom
In my younger days I thought Big was the guy. As I got older I realized the depth of 3000 lyrically. Both are nice and legends in hip hop...
He wrong about andre3000
He beyond a star. Iconic rap legend.
That's talent that doesn't make you a star
You just proved his point..lol
@@daboneyard313 lol ....
What he is saying without rap is 3 stacks still a star because a star will shine no matter what he or she is doing..

Andre is so unique, that sometimes he doesn't fit in, but it doesn't stop him from being himself and that's a star that keeps shinning. He's not my favorite, but he's still in the conversation.

Kevin Kobain I agree 💯💯Facts that’s exactly how to put it yin/yang
best comment by far. They truly complemented each other. Top 3 duo rap all time.
@@pdot8115 Who else you got? Eightball & MJG, UGK, Mobb Deep, EPMD, Dead Prez, Run DMC?
@@jenoWC funny u named the other 2 for me. Ball & G plus UGK. Not knocking who else u named bc I fuxs with RunDmc and Murda Muzik is one of my favorite albums so it's hard choice but......
I totally agree with you. They were very well put together as a group. They both are great. I am a very big fan of 'Kast and love em both equally together as well as solo. Ide just rather have them as a group.
Almost 2 decades since their last album and we are still having these conversations. Goes to show you that both these men are a hip hop treasure
I totally agree with the brother but one thing to note is why 3 stacks is such an exceptional and rare talent: because he chose NOT to conform to the industry standard & maintain his purity. The same argument can be made about Lupe and Jay Elec.
Blakkk Fero right you easy can see him out and about. He’s not full of himself. Just a different type of guy. #Gemini
Thank u sir
eggzackly...ehbady ain' jus wit that "star"/"in tha spotlight" bullsh!t...
Fuck Jay he's trash
You said he did not CONFORM LOL Dre wears dresses...Now please respond to that
3000 like Lauryn Hill.....they never bought into the stardom.......but dude is absolutely selling 3000 short, Hes one of the most intelligent cats you'll ever have a conversation with.....Real conversation that is!!
I respect this brothers opinion I agree with some of what he said but not all. Andre is Great. Big Boi is Great. I don’t think he was putting down Dre at all. He said it right what one didn’t have the other had. That Gemini and Aquarius connection. That’s why the name Outkast fit. They were two sides of the same coin. Big Boi doesn’t get enough props. Andre even admitted Big is a better MC. That can be debatable. It depends on who you gravitate more towards. Personally I don’t separate the two. Yes Big Boi has solo albums. But when those two link together it’s magical. Aquemini is my favorite Kast album. That was the perfect complement to their greatness.
Diwani Spark you nailed it bro nd Aquemini is easily they best work together nd both provide styles for different folk to relate to
Diwani Spark sleeeep don’t care what no one says everybody entitled to their own opinion but Andre 3000 was better then big boi Andre my 2nd favorite of all time behind pac
#BIGFACTS
Josh Taylor indeed fam. They simply work magic together. Aquemini was the only album I bought off the strength of the source 5 mic album ranking. The song that did it for me was Da Art of Story Tellin’. I’m from Philly they played it on a format called make it or break it. If callers vote to break it they wouldn’t play it on the show. It kept winning every night. Their first 3 albums classics and Stakonia possible 4
keemkeeley trust me Andre is up there for me too. He’s a fellow Gemini like me. But I think Big Boi doesn’t get his props. It’s like dude was saying people felt Andre more shoot I feel Andre more. But those two together is legendary.
I just want another Outkast Album. Andre and Big is both legendary artists. Andre is so different you not going to understand it unless you think outside the box.
Outkast is the perfect definition of "Ying and Yang"! Where one lacks, the other picks up and interpret it different. Doesn't mean one is weaker, thats the complimented between the 2. Like Pimp C and Bun!!! Cmon yall!!!! Why do we always have to "compare" OUR own greatness?
Nothing wrong with comparison it's interesting to see what others think, you can learn something from the simplest conversations
Ya got a great point bruh. We just gravitate to who we relate to da most. In most cases. And Bog Boi is relatable to me. But they both cold
They both dope. I dislike comparing them also lol but I do feel Big Boi bars are underrated
dav1ll3 speak on it!!!! Nobody EVER give him his props. Never
Nah pimp and bun whr more similar
Andre is too deep.
"They'll learn why, mere privacy is so essential..."
Both of Them Are Cold On The Mic ! But We Know Andre Is Super Cold !!!
ICE COLD 👌✌

-Andre Benjamin ("Skew It On The Bar-B")
I’m a huge OutKast fan. Always have been but, he actually has a point. I get it. He’s basically saying that Big Boi is a more well rounded artist. He’s also lyrical but, he has the personality to do more and be recognized for more than his rapping ability. Just cool for no reason.
How is Big Boi a more well rounded artist when Andre 3000 is better lyrically, sings, and can play the guitar and other instruments?...Big Boi couldn't make a Prototype, Andre could make a I Like The Way You Move though
@@rondavis19 So what you’re saying is Big Boi sucks just like everybody else be saying? Cmon man. Big Boi can rap his ass off but he also did a little more than Andre as far as films also. Big Boi also does producing also.
@@SoulOfTheSouth I never said Big Boi sucked....not even once. Yes he can rap his ass off and yes he is lyrical, but he is not more lyrical than Andre 3000, period. You said he's a more well rounded artist and he's not. Andre raps and sings. And why you bringing up films bro? lol
Dangerous Lies and Vicious rumors, and Boomiverse are classic Big Boi albums. I personally think the machine didn't get behind Big Boi like OutKast as a group. Dre is a creative genius! The Love below was classic if you want to accept that as a solo album. Dre's wordplay is simple, common, and clever to listeners which is relatable; while Big's wordplay is more complex and whimsical ( two midgets in the back seat wrestling). They are both Stars in my book!! We all love OutKast.
This katt a HATER from his birth of his mama. You gotta give another brother credit when you know damm well he deserves it "Andre 3000". From the clothing, cartoons, and rap what more does he need to be star in a hater 👀 smh
Marcus Hunter str8 hating clown
You bitches can think outside of y’all emotional pussies. You can agree to disagree but damn listen to him first.
I believe that he saying as a star is a star no matter what they do
Forgot about the cartoon...damn. Is 3000 underrated when you look at the entire body of work.
You're trying too hard to prove something that is really just your opinion my guy...
The TRUTH is that we don't value people for their "Star" quality we value their positive, conscious, and enlightened contributions to Hip Hop Culture and our lives as a whole... period.
I've always looked at both of them as stars collectively and as individuals. Both are great musically and on screen acting both can hold their own.
Fans determine who the star is; You either have it or you don't and Andre 3000 just has it.
Let Sleeping Dawgs Sleep......That Man ain’t bothering nobody he just living life
💯
I could see how a person who was early on OutKast would say this.
He’s wrong but I get it🤣
He done fell and bumped his head. He just don’t like 3000
But people never bring up Big Boi in rap conversations. People treat Big like he’s just there as a crutch.
He never said he didn't like 3000. Gave him all the credit for being a great rapper. I get what he trying to say tho. Big Boi was the personality of Outlast. Dre more reserved and chill.
They’re homies he cool with Dre. He’s not saying dre ain’t a hard rapper. He’s saying dre never held his own as a solo artist.
@@Moetownlee that's not what he's saying either lol...he's simply saying Dre is a rapper point blank period Big Boi is a little more

He's obviously not from this planet. Nas the greatest rapper since he appeared on the scene.
Big Boi was always overlooked..but he made Outkast also
Andre 3000 said Big Boi was way more talented and lyrical than he was. He said it!! I'm from the A! So....they're both Stars to me.
Genesis A. D the GREATS never say their better then the next.
@@6foot8aquarius Lies!! He did say it!! Bc he's a humble man. It takes nothing away from him being great!!
This dude sound like he hating on 3 stacks.
He even got the mannerisms of a hater.
I think there's a little shade, because he's close friends with Cee-lo. And in the Cee-lo, 3000 debate/rivalry... he sides with Cee-lo. PK been very close with the Dungeon since the beginning, so there is some personal feelings in there.
Mr Md5 that’s some pretty tough talk you got there mane.
The Black Narrative come on dawg.
Mr Md5# lmao
Its krazy, i find alot of the older Atlanta street cats feel this way. Whereas people nationwide and internationally feel Dre is the more complete artsist and definitely a Star!... interesting.
This dude dont know what the hell he talking about
SITTING ON CLOUDS at all
Right!
Facts, he dead ass wrong about 3 Stacks.
He knows Outkast personally. He’s one of the pioneers of Atlanta rap scene.
So nobody I mean nobody heard the man say from a “marketing” standpoint??? Some people choose not to listen.
Everyone is waiting on Dre to return to OutKast and rap... Big Boi been makin albums but ppl still want OUTKAST. Aka: we waitin on 3stacks
gmail user it still don’t make sense ....he’s a major artist “marketing” is to sell...so if he’s already successful..then he’s marketing just fine ....we always get “marketing” confused with pushy sales people and overly talkative sellers....if your product is legit then your marketing is educating on the product and allowing it to be displayed.....if he’s talking love and hip hop type stuff ...that’s not for everybody
So we just gonna pretend “Hey Ya” didn’t sell about three bazillion copies? Just cuz he said it don’t mean it makes a lick of sense.
Marketing???? 😂😂😂😂😂
Eric Parker exactly...isn’t that the point of marketing ....to sell
He doesn't even believe himself!

Why would a old head need Cloud if he's already been in the game so long
Dre doesnt want to be a star.. why are yall missin the point
“Big is great....Dre is great....OutKast is Tha Sh!t”.
That’s all he had to say. Period,
But I can see where he coming from. Much luv to Big Boi and 3000👑👑💯
Ken,I have to disagree with you on this one. As a 40 year old who discovered Outkast in 1993 in the 8th grade, I do believe that Dre is a star whose exceptionally talented or vice versa. The thing that you may not account for is Dre is an introvert so what you were saying about the light is true. Dre does not seek attention Big Boy became the personality yes, but after the ATLiens album people were tuned in to hear the music and to see what Andre was going to wear. Dre wrapped circles around most artists for about 10 years. The love below was unquestionably the best album of the year, it was Dre's solo performance and he changed the shade of the light, so there was no exposing any flaws
I dont think u get what he was explaining. Listen again.
Beautifully written
Stop it. Andre has always acted too feminine and eccentric. Big Boi represented what we wanted the world to see from Outkast
One has no ambition outside of rap. The other has ambition on an international level.
@@the5-starreview871 feminine? Dead wrong stop it
Big Boi has ALWAYS been my favorite out the duo.
Me too
Who cares??
Basically they both stars in their own right
Dre is an artist. Big is a rapper. Dre does more than just music. Stars in their own right. Men in their own standing. Stop comparing the two and do what they did. Come together.
Nah Dre is "The Love Below" (Dre's portion of the album) proved that
DEEP: I love how this brother broke that down. Makes me think of myself. I like being low key bekuz everything will be seen and known, if I had all the attention.
Okay, here's the simple fact.. Outkast is one of the greatest Rap Groups EVER and we just need to leave it at that. Big Boi is not a better member of Outkast than Dre and neither is Dre a better member than Big.. Any of this type of discussion is just a catalyst to division, confusion and unnecessary conflict which happens all the time and causes breakups in groups, we need to stop this kind of stuff because it is not productive.
Well that’s a lie cause dre is definitely bigger
I certainly agree
“Spitting all dat bourgeois my watch, my car, I’mma star...I’d rather be a comet by far” -Andre 3000
I get where he tryna go with it so it's not TOOOO crazy but yes he is wrong lol. 🤦🏿♂️😂😭
Well said brother 💪🏿
Nah he really not. Think bout it. When have you seen a Andre 3000 interview that you can sit thru? Now when have you seen a Big Boi interview that you can? Big boi holds the star power dynamic not Andre 3000. You can prefer 3 stacks as the rapper, but he not a star media personality type person. He is the hermit. Star power is not only your talent but also personality, being able to sell anyyhing they do, and so on. Star power is embodied by Big Boi not Andre 3000. That's where exceptional talent differs from a star... big boi just has the true star power on top of exceptional music ability
@@LowercaseKev while I respect your view, I see it slightly different. I'm going to use Mike Jackson and Prince as references both were amazing as well as introverts so their personalities wasn't inviting. Exceptional talent is what makes you reach stardom. Big Boi is nice with his however he's more relatable then a lyricist. Stacks is on the plateau where not many have reached however his talent exceed the norm. Without exceptional talent your personality alone cannot get you to stardom
@@jamaal9911 in this day and age you definitely can be famous with no talent. But I get what you saying...
@@lenekraturner87 facts, it's plenty that wasn't talented back then as well maybe they just knew that right person or was in the right place.
He's saying Stack Is a great rapper but he doesn't have a star personality
And hes wrong
This night out his got damn mind
Basically he hoping Dre listening so he'll come back and make more OutKast albums.
This dude is an ATL old South street guy so I understand why he says what he saying
@kidphresh2000 It gives his opinion more value being hes from The old Atlanta and is still a major presence in the New Atlanta.
Unfortunately his views is not the worlds
@@milestone8585 notice I said "i" understand why he sees it that way.
EXACTLY!!! This is the type of guy Big Boi looked up to and rapped about in the beginning! I’m sure he feels he’s getting praised for his background when he hears Big Boi... “they taught me how to smoke herb/I followed them when they ran numbers”
CNote825 But he’s not his daddy’s brothers thou... Big was talking about Uncle Trick and them..
Andre 3000 just won Grammy with Anderson Paak for come home. He still a superstar
Finally, someone else said it. Big Boi is the energy and muscle behind Outkast 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lol trippin
Andre the heart and soul of outkast the love below showed that when it carried speakboxxx to the grammys and won them album of the year the love below was the appeal not speakboxxx
I think I get what he's saying, 3000 is a "star" becuz he is indeed great at what he does, but he's not a star personality...so it's all about his talent🤔...
Thank u that make perfect sense because I was lost
Theres alot of big boi in every city and every town but theres alot of pretend 3 stacks that still can't pull it off "Til This Day!"
I don't think anyone can rap like Big Boi
Andre 3000 on his own words... I'm not a star I'm a comet by far.
Big boi is a rap star...Dre beyond that.
Outcast Icons! One Lemon,One Lime. Rock them both at the same time. Their shine is truly one of a kind. Combination blinding light so bright cause one's a comet and one's a star Just two dope boys in a Cadillac car!
The cd that matters ...the love below......big boy had 1 track ....3000 had the a cd ..u could play from start to finish....stop playing with ice cold! !
💯💯
💯💯💯
Cats in the game itching for a 3000 feature love below carried that double cd
I agree but his point is without Big Boi he would probably just be Kid Kudi or Lupe Fiasco because he lacks personality (in Pretty Ken's opinion) that does not make him a star....
ICECOLD
Bruh every ONE of these interviews slap! B High, I’m tuned in and I’m LOCKED in! You ask the informative questions we really want answers to and you know how to let the person SPEAK! THANK YOU for not talkin over your guests all the time like most people do. Thank you for letting them tell and FINISH stories! You’re dope af and I hate that I’m so late to the party. Everyone you interview is either someone I listened to growing up, still listen to or somehow connected to one of those! And they not up there bullshittin on some Hollywood shit, either. AND I’ve never seen you post a clickbait title! You 💯 in my book B High.
He sounds and look like Steve Harvey! He has that Steve Harvey Energy! Figure it out for yourself.
That fuck boy energy
Retro-Dade those are some pretty tough words playa.
They were parts of the same star. Each contributing self to impact hip hop as a single entity, OutKast. Legendary group and lasting influence. One n the same.
$avannah, Ga... We been putting it on tha Map. Thank you for giving us our just due. Much love B High-P.K. too. Thug in peace Camaflauge... What up Big-Frazior homes
I have to respectfully disagree, 3 racks is beyond the star of Outkast ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Andre3k lives in NYC in a hipster neighborhood where his dressing fits. He doesn’t want to be bothered unless it’s by women. He’s chillin.
I respect his logic.. especially coming from some one that knows the group and the industry. Respect.
I could tell he never heard a Nas album definitely not God’s Son but I respect it
It was written a classic
I am 40 yrs old, originally from Little Rock. My Triple OG (he 50plus), from Texas, can't stand Nas, but I bump Nas religiously. I moved to Indianapolis in 01. I was bumping DJ Screw out there and people were trippin the fuck out. The youngsters NEVER HEARD of it.
@@OLDSPICE3001 What the fuck u tryna say
Dre seems like a real one. He just doesn't thirst for fame which makes him even more solid imo.
"Talking all that bougeoir
my watch, my car...
I'm a star, I'd rather be a COMET by far RAHH!"
-Andre3K
From "Skew it on the Bar B"
This guy is speaking pure facts. Exactly why 3000 cannot be in top 10 conversations. No solo albums. And cannot produce work independently without Big Boi.
THIS MUST BE CLICKBAIT STOP IT!!
I've always said if Dre is on any list you gotta put Big Boi on the list too, not as a duo but individually cause he is the only dude that can ever keep up with Dre on every track
Andre 3000 also had that instantly recognisable baisal twang vocal pitch and he had beyond the music had the larger than life personality/ fashion / crazy in him.
When an Andre3000 driven or heavy Outkast single or non single vatchier track dropped then it was auto gold.
When I first gosy into Outkast w/ B.O.B. I used to focus on Andre.
As years, albums and life went on I started to gravitate heavier towards Big Boi.
Sure he can reach the same heights thkough slightly less .... Big Boi is way more consistent.
This made me emotional. This dude has relevant points about the difference between an artist and an entertainer but his verbiage is wrong and he is clearly skewed toward entertainers rather than thought leaders. He’s a feeling dude. But for those of us who think first, “Naw bruh, Andre is a conduit of higher ideas, then pleasure.”
He right dre even talks how he struggles to find himself in music
I get what he's trying to say But he didn't Word it Correctly. Love Outkast. Favorite Group Ever, But 1 thing I always said about Dre: If he can be in the Music Industry and Rap and have nobody know who he is, He would do it in a heartbeat. Somewhat Ironic a Guy like 3 Stacks who is known for Standing out with his Dress Attire and Not Conforming to Southern Trends During the Group's Heyday not liking the Spotlight. Big Boi is the other Side of the Coin. He loves the Spotlight. He has always been the most personable of the 2 and the Most talkative publicly. Andre dosent even have Social Media. Their Contrasts, Both Musically and personally is what made them special as a Group, But I don't think they reach the popularity that they did if Dre was the pure Focus of the group
Finally someone tells the truth. Big has the personality that gives access to outkast. Bigboi has always been more vocal publicly.
Might be true but it doesn't mean Dre is not the star and in this case, andre3000 is the star
@@mrscooteranderson935 but Andre is only comfortable when he can rely on bigboi . Andre needed bigboi to do the movies they did together. When andre had to do a movie on his own (jimi Hendrix) he did not have the dedication. And when de la soul wanted to do an album with outkast , it was dre that didn't want to do the project. Now he lives in New York, searching for himself. I understand why he's searching for himself
Only because 3000 doesn’t seek the attention or limelight.
Lmao at andre needs to rely in big boi when the love below carried the double album disc, and is the reason they won album of the year at the Grammys big boi don't hold a candle to 3stacks musical genius and that album showed who's REALLY needs who
Nefer khnumu Builders Society Have you ever heard 3000 on ANY remixes where he's featured? People only listen to hear him kill whoever he's on the track with. Come on folks.. You gotta be joking. They both are stars, but they can carry their own weight
We all are stars once everyone notice u u become superstar....PEACE GOD
When I saw the title I was like hold up, but when he explained it in his views.... I understand where he was coming from. Hell even though I think both are stars to me. Outkast are a stars anyway
3 Stacks has said this same thing on several different verses. He just used different words to describe this situation.
This is outright tomfoolery and false. Dre's look post-Southernplayalisticcadillacmuzik is why people really paid attention to Outkast. That's why he's the most known of the group by far.
Big Boi is dope but he's just more active...and still most people can't name a solo song by him. Yet we're still waiting for a Andre solo or just to see what he's doing/wearing.
You actually just proved his point. After that album the “light” got brighter on the group. 3k adjusted to it by finding himself through other expressions of art. Big Boi reacted to the “light” by becoming more of who and what he already had.
Fuck a "look." Dre had lyrics for your ass!!!!
@@actornmn Being a star is about the "it" factor and not necessarily talent at all. If they show up separately at an awards show, which is gonna get the most attention by far?
I get what he's saying. Big Boi is flashy..loves the spotlight..Dre just wants behind the scenes. He just wants to rap..he's a bonafide artist. Artist do what they want..stars do what they're told. #team3000
