2610383, Andre's persona was easier to cross over than Big Boi's

Big Boi is a good emcee, I still say Speakerboxx is better than Love Below.

But 3000 had the quotables, fashion and songs (i.e., "Hey Ya") that marked him as more than your typical rapper.

It's sad that some think Andre carried/was Outkast all those years, but he had better marketing. I mean, how many other rappers can go 8 years without an album and still have a significant number of people checking for them?
