You've probably got a point with AZ.
Disagree with Andre 3K. Everyone gives Outkast plenty props and many, myself included consider Andre one of the best that there ever has been.
He's had plenty of commercial success utilizing guest spots on pop tracks and is noted for his incredibly unique style.
He'd be even more rated by the masses if he finally released a solo album.
Big Boi did it, and is doing it again next month. Andre needs to follow suit.

What I mean with Andre, is that he's had great success in Hip-Hop and in the mainstream, yet he's only considered great in Hip-Hop circles. Three of his albums have been massively successful, reaching number 2, number 1 and number 1 again in America, I just find it odd that taking that into account, it's only really Hip-Hop fans who rate him so highly. Like you say though it is probably his fault.
Although if he dropped a solo album, I'm not convinced it would be him rapping, most of his recent material (Idlewild, TLB) has been him singing and I'm expecting more of the same with the solo album if it comes out.
