Big Boy was the rappers rapper. And no one gives he his credit. His raps can stand with anyone.

I met Andre 3000 one random afternoon walking on a sidewalk of Atlanta. I told him, “You put Atlanta on the map!” He replied “it wasn’t just me”. That’s when I notice how humble he truly is. I gave him his flowers by saying, “You and Kanye are the greatest artists of all time!” I will never forget that moment

Big boi slept on. One of the coldest flows everrrrr

Andre 3000 do spit vivid movies in every bar ..he doesn’t waste a word in his artistry 🔥

"I got more fans than the average man, But not enough loot to last me, To the end of the week, I live by the beat, Like you live check to check, So if you don't move your feet, Then we don't eat, So we're like neck to neck." - Some of the best lines I have ever heard

Bruh I can listen to Gipp talk about Southern Hip Hop History all day.💯

3000 bars are priceless and he could go bar for bar with anyone period

Interviewer: so tell us what you did as a child to pass the time. Gipp: I'll tell you what we wasn't doing. Listening to Jay-z. We never listened to Jay-z.

Andre 3000 is a real poet.. I'd bring a goodie bag full of Outkast, Mobb Deep and Goodie Mob to the island and that's it peace. Big love to each and everyone

They had no ghost writer's back then! That's cold bro.. haha 🤣 best line ever! P.s the verse and flow of Outkast in the song Black Ice sounds like it did influenced Kendic Lamar to rap the way he raps if you listen to it closely, it's crazy bro.. I'm also a big fan of Kendric and Outkast, they blow up here in Australia, real poets bro for real.. big respect to Big Gipp living legend..

He speaketh the truth. We never idolized JayZ down here in Houston. BIG and Nas got more praise.

I don't think Big Gipp likes Jay Z, just a hunch...

3000 ain't got to come back until 3000 music is timeless!!!!

the crazy part about Gipp argument is he keep saying "bias" but he the one being biased cuz he saying everybody from ATL is the best... he sitting there butchering Hov for rapping about street shit but then turn around and say Gucci in his top 5. did Guwop not rap about street shit..? its clear as day its something else going on Gippy jusy dont like Jay-Z. he hating on and tryna discredit everything that man done

3000 is one of the G.O.A.T 's. And......he could also act. Idewild is one of the most underrated movies in the world. Dre was amazing and the music that came from the sound track is brilliant!

There was a reason Andre had the last verse on most tracks

When he said Gucci top 5, I understood his disrespect for jay

First off, nobody really about the culture takes that list seriously. Second, this nga here obviously biased lol. And he just said Gucci Mane in his top ten 🤣

Andre 3000 is the sickest wordsmith ever without shooting or selling drugs in his raps, his wordplay is Genius.

Jay-Z just be chillin while everyone else talk down on him. He doesn’t even pay these dudes no mind.

Either die a hero or live long enough to watch yourself become the villain.

Not being in attendance at the roc nation brunch really be getting to people

Andre TRANSCENDED hip hop & rap and became something bigger.. the dude grew into a full fledged ARTIST… the world is missing out on him now. I wish he would come out and just be GROWN… SING SOUL & rock his OWN WAY. world needs him back

Andre 3000 so good, he don’t have to rap no more. But if he did rap again, everyone would be talking about it.

That Billboard list really chapped his ass🤦🏿‍♂️😭😭😭

And people say nyc mfs are bias with this dude with Gucci mane in his top 5 foh 😂😂😂😂

Honestly speaking, who in the world ever walked in the record store and said “y’all got that Big Gipp” FOH!

Why everybody always out the blue go at jayz?? Lmao that nigga real deal be minding his business!! But he must’ve did sum to gip

Jay got this dude deep in his feelings.

"What other crew from the 90's say they still sit in the studio they made their hits in and they OWN it?" - BIG FLEX AND NO LIES TOLD!! 💪

Everyone has their time. East , west , south, they all shined

He complained about east coast bias then goes on his own down south bias. If Gucci mane is in his top 5, anything he says should be discredited. OutKast came out talking about pimping and selling drugs. Wtf is Gibb talking about?

THIS HAS BEEN AVERAGE ASS ARTIST AIN'T NEVER HAD A SOLO HIT!!!!

That’s your opinion my man.....

If OutKast wasn’t apart of the dungeon family, they would be damn near unheard of outside of Atlanta. Don’t toot the horn too loud Gipp….

Pt 15 the milk man in my neighborhood better than Jay z -Gip

Hov had to play him back in the day

Can you ask him about his feelings about Jay Z? Very curious

Shout out to Bigg Gipp for saying what he felt. He stood 10 toes down on that. Pac is my GOAT, but i can’t get mad if somebody has Hov as theirs. 🤷🏽‍♂️ - Signed 02/19/2023

From listening to big gipp, it sounds like he got no love for new york... My man in his feelings...

Gipp coming off like a hater lol.

Me: Gipp what you eat today? Gipp: just some Cheerios dry just jayz rap songs 😆

And Kendrick def took alot of 3000 style. I heard it the first time I heard him.

Man these southern rappers still hurt...till this day 😂

Big Gipp and Big Gene need to start a podcast together and call it: "The Biggest Haters from North to South"

Andre 3000 is the greatest rapper of ALL TIME. Yes I said it. And I will stand by it.

Favorite Lyricist: Andre’ 3000 Favorite MC: Big Boi If you know hip hop, you know the difference. Every time I hear Gipp say “Let’s talk about it…”, Still Standing starts playing in my mind. My favorite Cee-Lo verse is from Still Standing. If you haven’t heard it, please…go listen to it.

Glad he mentioned Q-tip. Kanye always says Drake got his style from him but he never mentions he got his style from Q-tip. The guy even helped make classic albums for Nas and Mobb Deep.

He's just slandering hov at this point

Just Cause he didn't rap about drugs doesn't mean he rap better bruh ...that's some I'm From the south ATL shit ... jay is Def a poet

I’m from Brooklyn been in Atlanta for 14 years it’s a lot of animosity towards the north he represents the people I warn people about when they move They secretly don’t like us lol

At this rate, we should probably expect a subtle diss from Jay Z towards Big Gip . The next time he appears on a song.

Andre doesn’t have any solo albums. We know he’s great but all he had was the love below and that wasn’t really rapping.

i mean i felt a way about him being #1 (and really alot of the overall placements), but i do think people are overlooking the idea behind what a rapper is from an industry standard. they not just talking about more lyrical and what have u....its appeal, pop success, overall acclaim its a number of things....Andre couldnt be #1 because although lyrically hes ahead of his time he still never quite had independent success as a "rapper". if u think about it at his height of heights dre was primarily on other peoples records n remixes. technically he didnt even have a solo record n there was a reason for that too. what maeks Jay great is hes one of the greatest emulators of all time n hes strategic so he always makes the right move for him.

Gipp is the epitome of a person from the old Atlanta. We all think this way! #gradybaby #fromtechwoodtoforestpark

The reason Jay rapped about hustling is because that's his authentic story. The reason Andre did not is cause that's not hist story. He also never made any rap albums as a solo artist so tell Gipp to be quiet already.

How many crews can say they still sitting in the studio they made they hits in and they own it!

Why does gipp and the interviewer hate jay z and puffy so much

3:19 Facts. Those two are certified Geniuses.

Gipp has songs talking about wearing Gucci pants, Gipp talked about selling dope and how he stopped but if things fell off that he'd go back to doing it...

I’m not even from New York but some people hate them so bad its like the little brother being jealous of the older brothers success 😂

Everybody had a run, EASTCOAST70-80s : WESTCOAST Late 80s-early2000s, SOUTH 04-Now And I’m the midst of all this, ARTIST FROM EACH REGION HAS HAD SUCCESS .. why we always in competition with each other instead of those outside the culture !??

Jay-z gotta be the goat look how bad dudes go outta they way to talk down on him. And on another note this is why black culture isn’t where it should be too many of us salty and bitter about what the next has accomplished instead of jus embracing greatness regardless of one’s opinion. I can’t remember seein many vids of some fell off white artist, let alone successful talkin junk on frank sanatra or Elvis smh. Gipp is goofy

I agree with 95 percent of everything this man spoke.... #Salute to him !!!!

Jay and 3000 are both dope,you can't expect 2 different people who lived 2 different lives rap about the same shit,why would 3000 rap about selling dope if he never sold dope?Jay rapped about it cuz that's what HE went through!

Andre 3000 has the skills, but no large stack of solo albums. So we rooting for him, but what separates him is most of his resume/accolades is guest appearances and Outkast music. His work with Outkast cant be compared to solo rappers.

Wow I love Bigg Gipp. No wonder Tupac seeked his approval on a lot of his records. The guy's an O.G of the music industry! A lot of street n rap game knowledge right there. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Thank you!! No 1 was dropping until Outcast drop facts.. Everyone was afraid let's see what Andre doing. Wayne and Jay Z listen to Andre.

If Hov asked him for a feature tmrw he would do it.

it's safe to say Big Gipp don't like Jay-Z 🤣

The billboard top 100 is probably the worst way to "judge" music artists. It's art. There's different sub-genres. Some people's (specifically Outkast's) sound doesn't belong in a box.

Everybody that keep saying 3k didn’t have a solo album… yes he did The love Below👀👀👀👀

At first I was just taking him as his opinion, but I’m now starting to think this dude just has a hatred for Jay Z. He’s talking way too much about Jay. Smh

I love how he's saying that almost everybody is better than Jay-Z lol

They be sleeping on big boi

It's safe to say he'll put anybody above Jay-Z he don't like Jigga for personal reasons probably maybe Jigga turned him down when him or Goodie Mob wanted a verse or didn't speak to him backstage at a concert or something or he's just plain ol jealous of Jigga who knows but it's clear to see he don't care too much about Jigga

This dude definitely talks aloud in his house about Jay, by himself 😂

He and jay agree on one thing, the poets don’t get recognized. “ If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be Lyrically, Talib Kweli Truthfully, I wanna rhyme like Common Sense But I did 5 mill' - I ain't been rhyming like Common since.”

Bro Gipp said a lot of things that I did not think about and now after hearing what he said oh yeah he got a point I think he's right on this one

I would respect the list if it came from the source magazine or vibe magazine. But Billboard? Like Jay would say “c’mon mane “

I love Gip but this interview is starting to sound like a hate or discredit Jay Z campaign

Im from Atlanta, but it sounds like Gipp is hating. You can name your favorite rapper without trash talking another man. 3000k needs to drop a couple solo albums

If 3 Stacks had solo albums…they wouldn’t be Hip Hop albums. Rock or Pop is what I feel they’d be.

I was telling cats in Minnesota about Goodie Mob and Outkast back in 92'.... I didn't know nothing about them until I went to a family reunion in Atlanta any my cousin kept playing them over and over!! He went to high school with them at Ben Mays and Tri City... years later they were on top of the world.

That NY bias is real and so is Big Gipp's resentment of it.

Man this dude has a serious bias against the East coast and Jay especially. I agree with some shit he say but he has bias. Jay rap about the street because that's where he comes from.

Say that shit Gipp! South got something to say till this day. We ain’t going nowhere! This dude speaking facts!!

3K is dope but his catalog isn’t long enough! JZ>3K

3000 did not make enough content to compete. He owes the fans a rap solo album. An ACTUAL RAP album. SouthernPlayalistics Dre… ATLIENZ Comic Book Dre…Aquemini3… Not Hey 👋 Yall 3 wit da wig version sangin…But 3 still a 🐐 for what he left us with

Facts 🙏🏾💯

Id pay $50-100 for a Andre album right now

When 3000 make a full rap album then he can be compared to Hov or Nas or any of the other greats it’s easy to write 16 bars for a song or jump on a track but to create albums “ by yourself” the you can add him. Outkast collectively one of the greatest groups of all time. #myopinion

Gipp seems bitter. Maybe it’s because he never did anything successful outside of Goodie Mobb. And even they couldn’t sell records without Cee-lo. Gipp and Ali from the St Lunatics went double aluminum

Truth is what it is!!!! South got something to say!!!! 🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️📻

South is the best with any genre of music we started all music! Facts!!!

Smh .. Gipp hating … it don’t matter what J rapped about … street element is a part of hip hop

We need outcast and dungeon family album ASAP .someone talk to 3000 and get his ass motivated again hiphop needs this

I agree talent wise but I don't think Jay z rapping about drugs is nearly as soulless as 90% of rappers. He really spoke his own experiences. His music was well rounded and as he grew away from his past, his subject matter "matured" accordingly. Besides, ironically, there is no better jay z than reasonable doubt jay and that guy thought he was scarface. If he had 2 more albums of that quality in his catalog I'd give him the nod as better mc.

Mannnnnnn what Hov do to cuz 😂🤷🏽‍♂️‼️. “Hey Gipp who better Jay or Bubba Sparx?” Gip - “Oh for sure Bubba is, come on that’s easy shawty” 😭😭

Gip sounds bitter as hell ...he don't like J at all 😂 he big mad
