Big Boi vs. T.I. - who is the better rapper?

[theremedy360]

TI is nice but not on Big Boi's level.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

T.i. Sounds forced but big sounds like he spits n his sleep

[J$crILLa]

Big Boi. by a trillion miles.

[Leggy Hendrix]

there is nothing impressive lyrically about TI

for once i agree with you, i have never seen what the big deal about T.I. is

I too would like to see some examples of his lyrical songs.

Big Boi. U live in a fantasy world fool. Thinkin' I'm all biased. I'm fair. T.I. is dope as fuck and snaps sometimes lyrically (especially era 2000-2005) and he still spittin' today. But Big Boi is on legendary status.

And can except that.

big boi


as a matter of fact imma really go against the grain and say hes a better more consistant rapper then andre three thousand too.

I'd agree with that second part also. Andre is more like the face of the group and Hey Ya especially took him to a different audience bigger than Big Boi ever got, but Big Boi's Speakerboxxx was ten times better than The Love Below, and since then Big Boi has been the better performer too, both on the Idlewild LP and on subsequent guest features and the new LP.

Way You Move was also a massive hit but Hey Ya was getting play on Disney radio

TI is almost as boring as snoop dogg, but they both make hits for the clubs and 15 year olds with catchy hooks and well produced beats.

Big Boi does all of the above, but with added creativity and story telling. This isn't a worthy question.

[Chamillitary Click]

Not in defense of T.I., but I can't think of "lyrically murdered" verses from Big Boi.

He's better than T.I., but Big Boi got a great flow, great mic presence, a good voice (no homo); but his lyrics aren't like...among the best.

come on now my equals,i love outkast as a team they better that way,but i understand equals "liking" big more,but better lyrically then 3 staccs? hahahahahaha, lets be honest,i don't give a fucc how that guy dress,that muthafucca is one of the best who ever did this shit, and the love below ain't a rap album but that muthafucca banged, i ain't even need to hear speakerboxx haha,3 staccs can drop 3 verses a year and that alone will make him one of the best rappers of the year, big beats t.i. but not no 3 staccs yell
