André 3000 is one of the most beloved rappers in the music game. Despite never releasing a solo project, the Atlanta native is often mention in people’s Top five “best rapper’s alive” lists.
As OutKast, Andre 3000 and his partner-in-rhyme Big Boi developed their gifts through practice. That kind of verbal dexterity is the stuff of hard work. There's been stories of them jogging around their neighborhood while practicing their lines to build breath control and endlessly walking around Big Boi's aunt's table as they rehearsed their lines. They would emerge in 1994 as two gifted teenage rhymers from Atlanta, who put their city--and the South as a whole--on the national hip-hop map.

Even if he never puts out another album, Andre 3000 has two decades of excellence behind him. He's done enough.
