Once again, I know *DICK* about Hip Hop (although seem to be warming back up to it these days), but I think Andre 3000's style and delivery is refreshingly different from anyone else's. Not to knock the estimable Big Boi, but Andre's just more of a character....in a genre polluted by clones.

Unless Andre breaks out some koala shit, Big Boi is gonna win:

lots of ppl now say big boi just cos they know most people will say dre3000. but dre3000 *is* better as a solo artist. obv tho, theyre both better together.

didn't Big Boi write Morris Brown? if so, then him.

The thing is, Andre was so crazy with his fashion choices that it kind of overshadows the fact that Big Boi is also crazy; he's also the one who takes more risks with his rapping (all of Andre's "experiments" have been rooted in singing; he's actually a pretty conventional rapper in terms of flow).

bbs risks are often gimmicky and unnecessary though - that choppiness in his flow is just jerky and serves no real purpose.

dres flow might be 'conventional' (tho you must be forgetting that ? song on stankonia and dozens others) but his language makes up for it.
Oh yeah, Andre's genius absolutely lies in the words he chooses; that's pretty much a given.
I disagree that the choppiness in BB's flow serves no real purpose.

Doubtless b-boi. I never know with Dre if he'll blow me out of the water or come of as just plain weird, but b-boi's flow is so self-assured, so full of rubato and rhythmic trickery, and his rhymes are so consistantly poetic that he's pretty unbeatable.
