So they picked Andre from Outkast, who has no solo project and less than 10 solo features, and left off Big Boi who has had an incredibly successful career after Outkast. Idk if it's ignorance or disrespect but it's fasho goofy
I think its because. Andre as an artist is a fan favorite and a bit hire relatable with regard to his lyrical content. He frankly is more popular than Big Boi
this was really nice. I appreciate B.Dot he always seems so calm and respectful and Conway ofc he is in top 3 right now not even top 5. fire show and concept!
One of the greatest lyricists. But he wouldn’t have gone far in this based off the selection criteria. He’s only done 3 solo projects. And only one that would be considered a proper album. It’s mostly Roots or guest features.
This was the toughest and best in the series thus far. Love this kind of debate. Conway’s rationale was intelligible and compassionate, so it’s telling of how much of the culture he’s soaked in his membrane. Can’t wait for God Don’t Make Mistakes
Personally, I may have picked Kiss over Dre, just because of the number of true solo releases. Other than that, Conway's reasoning was pretty much flawless. Also, I think Bun B deserved Cordae's spot on this list, no disrespect to Cordae but time in the game matters.
Ice Cube is the most successful rapper to go solo after leaving a group..period! He left NWA when they were on top and dropped back-to-back-back classics. AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, Death Certificate, and Predator were classics. Some even think Lethal Injection is a classic/sleeper album. And we ain't gonna get into outside of music lol
Lil Wayne has had an amazing career. But I see the argument against Hot Boys. It was a super group, manufactured by putting solo artists together. They didn’t come into the game together like everyone else did.
Conway is very much a student of the game and i very much appreciate that but i could never pick Push (whom i love too) over P..I'm sorry..I'm just extremely biased and P means the world to me as a Hip Hop head..R.I.P King Vulture..This a great episode btw..Good work
And just for the record Lil Wayne had a better solo career than every other rapper on this list and he came from a group he was more impactful to the culture and he has been rapping for almost 30 years and still relevant
1. Raekwon from Wu-Tang 2. Ice Cube from NWA 3. Dr Dre from NWA 4. Ghostface Killah from Wu Tang 5. Pusha T from Clipse 6. Mos Def from Blackstar 7 .Noreaga from Capone-N-Noreaga 8. Big Daddy Kane from Juice Crew 9. Fat Joe from Terror Squad 10. Q-tip from ATCQ
True. He really was a bit player though. Only 2 songs, and only one of those on a DU album. He was more of a high profile crew affiliate, than a true group member.
I'd say Ghostface. *EASILY* Look at his catalogue lol it's ridiculous!!! And he's got a few albums that are dope af that imho don't get the credit they deserve. And while I'm here Conway one of the best rappers alive right now.
Some of the matchups don't really make sense. If they are kinda randomized then ok, but some artists shouldn't even be there. For example, you leave Big Boi or Bun B and so on in the honorable mentions but put in Cordae and then up against Dre? I mean, I definitely show love to Cordae, I liked his solo album and he is one of the newer rappers that I dig, but it's still kinda ridiculous to put him here. Or they wanna give a chance to younger rappers? Then don't put them in a group full of legends with way more albums. Also takes some of the fun out of the game. Sorry for the complaining, the show is still fun of course but I already wanted to say stuff like that for other episodes. Ps: also choosing Andre over Big Boi here is at least questionable. Again, it takes the fun out. I would say Andre doesn't even have a solo career. Sure, you could name the Love Below if you want, but that's about it. It was still kinda like an Outkast album for me only with everyone focusing more on their own style.
Which member of a rap group had the best solo career?
Krayzie bone
Jadakiss
Ice cube
Mos def
Talib
Lil kim
Dr. Dre
First come to mind
jim jones to me
Tyler
dr dre, RZA, Tyler, Wayne, Pusha
Ghost face killah
So they picked Andre from Outkast, who has no solo project and less than 10 solo features, and left off Big Boi who has had an incredibly successful career after Outkast. Idk if it's ignorance or disrespect but it's fasho goofy
A little louder for the dummies in the back please.
It's definitely a smack in the face to Big Boi. If Big Boi doesn't make the bracket, 3000 damn sure doesn't make it
The love below was considered a solo project to some
Yep
I think its because. Andre as an artist is a fan favorite and a bit hire relatable with regard to his lyrical content. He frankly is more popular than Big Boi
Lil Wayne from Hot boyz
great call.
Facts
🐐
The game too
faxxxx
Push from Clipse. Definitely. Then sealing his perfection 2018 when he did what he did.
Iykyk
Ice cube? ????
new album crazy this comment hit different
RIP Sean Price of Heltah Skeltah ❤️
Rip Sean P and shout out everyone at duckdown
@@driponyahoe word I just made this comment too
KAN I forget about RUCKUS R.I.P.
For real man was waiting for Sean P, one of the illest to do it
which is krazy cause Rock was always thought of as the "star" of Heltah Skeltah and both those niggas are nice af
I think y’all should’ve gone with Big Boi instead of Andre
Yea,they should have
that's what I am saying like who tf curated this bs lol Big Boi dropped more stuff afterwards. 3 stack said "AYO B I am going home"
shoulda put both, Andre has done a lotta features
Conway definitely got me be back on my hip hop student shit... diving into Busta as we speak
A MUST
Doing that as well ...anarchy sucks though
3 stacks never left kast or had a solo album.
One of my favorite Complex series fr
Conway knows his shit. Salute king🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this was really nice. I appreciate B.Dot he always seems so calm and respectful and Conway ofc he is in top 3 right now not even top 5. fire show and concept!
Ghost got 14 solo albums
And none of them are bad.
Ghost is in my top 5 easy so miss me with all the rest of them
Ice Cube is who I think of off top. Good question tjo
This was a dope experience thank you!
Final rd Ghostface vs Jadakiss. Now that's a tough decision to make both are in my top 5
Conway knows his hip hop history thats for surr
Y'all left out Black Thought from the Roots. Spits straight flames🔥
One of the greatest lyricists. But he wouldn’t have gone far in this based off the selection criteria. He’s only done 3 solo projects. And only one that would be considered a proper album. It’s mostly Roots or guest features.
@@jayhag5481 that's a good point
Love Griselda... the best for a 80s Baby hip Hop Head
This was the toughest and best in the series thus far. Love this kind of debate. Conway’s rationale was intelligible and compassionate, so it’s telling of how much of the culture he’s soaked in his membrane. Can’t wait for God Don’t Make Mistakes

Personally I would pick Styles over Kiss. He has a better album catalog than Kiss
Well the quality of those releases edges to Dre and plus everything else Dre has done factors into it besides Styles has better albums than Kiss!
g.o.a.t. is one of the best mixtapes oat

And you can't forget the war & peace 1& 2

@@johnwayne3566 hot boys was a group of solo artist to my understanding
I think Wayne should’ve been up there but Dre definitely the right choice.

@@jayhag5481 they did come up together though
This nigga conway answer these questions all the way on point
Few legends that been left out:
KRS One, from Boogie Down Productions
MF DOOM, from KMD
Tupac, from Digital underground
Lil Wayne, from Hot Boys
Mf doom didnt leave the group thou it disolved kinda
@@troyramos7246 It's not based on leaving a group because Kiss is still with the LOX

This really reminds me of a Remixed version of “Quick time with SLIME” 🤔 but hey this hiphop rt🤷🏾♂️👍🏾
I love Drink Champs gotta love it for the culture
ay respect to conway, man still doing his doing and is still influential and never stopped grinding even after getting shot
Tyler should’ve been in there.
Don't do him like that 🤦🏽♂️😂 Conway smart 0:51
Conway pronounce LA MA'QUINA so good . That he sounds like he's from Dominican Republic .
😄😄😄👍👍👍
Jadakiss all day!
Conway 💯💪🏾
Conway The Machine - GxFR the best out
Lil Wayne (Hot Boys)
Royce da 5'9" (Slaughterhouse)
Ransom (A Team)
Bun B (UGK)
Curren$y (Young Money)
Royce was solo before SH
Wayne started solo
Spitta was a 504 Boy before he was on YM
@@james352 where you get Wayne starting solo from???
Tupac - Digital Underground
Lil Wayne - Hot Boyz
Ice Cube - N.W.A
Jeezy - Boyz n da Hood
Method Man - Wu Tang
Kiss - The Lox
Bun B - Ugk
Juicy J - 3 6 Mafia
Prodigy H.N.I.C is a classic, he should have went to the championship rounds at least..
🔥🔥🔥 Conway The Machine!!! #buffalokids
I can’t give Dre that much credit outside of producing because he mostly didn’t write his own rhymes
Andre3000 didn't write his own raps????? Lol
@@newviews8611 Dr. Dre, not 3 stacks
Who cares? He still had a successful solo career after NWA
Conway my dog. Lyrical monster
Jadakiss 😎
Conway the goat fasho
This a good ass show! S/O La Maquina
Get the editing down...make it more natural. This should have more of a homie feel than a show feel. Slow it down.
And just for the record Lil Wayne had a better solo career than every other rapper on this list and he came from a group he was more impactful to the culture and he has been rapping for almost 30 years and still relevant
Better career than Ghost or Cube? Man you trippin
@@Mcbikey24 easily better
How they forgot Tyler the Creator from Odd Future or Wayne from the Hot boyz
Good video
Big boi is consistent
5:27 i know yall got a little curious when conway picked up that bottle to drink from it..
No lil wayne? Are you serious?
Right wtf
Yea he's serious. Dead ass
Bro its people relevant to him
Over Busta? Are you serious?
Joey Badass of Pro Era
Jadakiss is a beast
Conway a student of the game.
Without a doubt it's Ice Cube from NWA
Busta Rhymes from L.O.N.S

Complex finally have good show
Your tripp when did Andre 3000 do a solo album
this was a dope game show
Disappointed that he picked Busta over Ghostface but that’s his choice. La Maquina album of the year as of 5/01/21
Busta not nicer than ghost but he’s more successful
1. Raekwon from Wu-Tang
2. Ice Cube from NWA
3. Dr Dre from NWA
4. Ghostface Killah from Wu Tang
5. Pusha T from Clipse
6. Mos Def from Blackstar
7 .Noreaga from Capone-N-Noreaga
8. Big Daddy Kane from Juice Crew
9. Fat Joe from Terror Squad
10. Q-tip from ATCQ
The list was a lil shaky, too. Wu was ALWAYS solo, but I get it.
Wu Tang album came 1st tho.. Meth was the 1st solo to drop.
@@lasonjittle7498 I get it.
Lol you put Andre in the comp over big boi? He never had a solo career unlike big boi
I was definitely gonna say Lil Wayne should have not just been listed, but should have won.
Good choice
GREATEST ALIVE 🔥🤖🔥🤖🔥🤖
Lil Wayne
2 Chainz
Big Boi
Bun B
All yall are wrong!!! Lil Wayne and B.G. was a duo before the Hot Boys. The bgz album came out (1995) 2yrs before the Hot Boys(1997)Get it How U Live!
2Pac was a bit player with Digital Underground and had an unparalleled career after his departure from the group.
True. He really was a bit player though. Only 2 songs, and only one of those on a DU album. He was more of a high profile crew affiliate, than a true group member.
@@jayhag5481 Yeah, I can see why he wasn’t in the running. Would’ve felt cheap. Sean Price, on the other hand …
Mos & Kweli from blackstar
what kinda match ups were these? got people with one album going up against people with multiple classics. come on
I love the chronic series actually grew up on it but he didn’t write it at all
Y’all disrespectful af for leaving Wayne off this bracket.
Big Facts‼️
Amazingly disrespectful
Rakim after Eric B and Rakim.
1997/1999/2009..nah
Pac started out with Digital Underground
Raekwon should’ve been in there, I’d say his solo stuff probably better than meth
My boi said “😗”
Young Jeezy definitely should have been on the list
JimJones🏆💯🏆
I'd say Ghostface. *EASILY* Look at his catalogue lol it's ridiculous!!! And he's got a few albums that are dope af that imho don't get the credit they deserve. And while I'm here Conway one of the best rappers alive right now.
Ghost is my favorite rapper of all time cuz I think he has the best discography in hip hop.
I would love to be on this series
Id like to here the reverse. Solo artists who became groups.
How is it that Quavo and Cordae are worthy of being on the list over WuTang Members, Eazy-E, Big Boi, Lil Wayne, etc...????
Shoutout to soundest mpls

How could someone make this list without the the chef
why is mans mouth tryna run away from his face lmao
It’s criminal how they left of Wayne from Hot Boyz
NO LIL WAYNE IS CRAZY
Jadakiss
Where is eightball and Mjg?
No Wayne smh, no camron, no jim jones they left alot of ppl. off
They have Andre 3k...
Even tho he don't got a solo album 😂🥴
@@inmyownworldfr shoulda used big boi
@@inmyownworldfr People consider The Love Below his solo album even tho he barely rapped on it.

Plain and simple
