Big Boi Breaks Down Entire Outkast Catalog
I
ts a challenging predicament that sooner or later all the greats must stare down. How do you live up to the grandiose, groundbreaking achievements of your past? If you’re Outkasts Big Boi, you stick to your guns through label battles, industry doubt and ever-evolving musical tastes and release one of 2010s most intriguing works. The fact that the sonically and lyrically rich Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty can be mentioned with the classic likes of Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, Aquemeni, Stankonia and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below without a hint of sarcasm is an achievement within itself. Big Boi proves that he can more than carry the artistic load without his universally lauded partner Andre 3000. But the long journey to his surprising coup still must be told. Big Boi takes you behind the Outkast curtain and beyond. Keith Murphy
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (1994)
“This was boot camp for myself and Dre. On our first record we were strictly MCs. All we wanted to do was rap [laughs]. Organized Noize was responsible for all our production, so our whole aim mainly was to let everyone know that we were about lyricism. We just wanted to annihilate every track; destroy every song that was put in front of us. I dont think we understood how good we were. We were so young. But we knew we had a raw camp and there were n##### who were dead serious about their art.”
ATLiens (1996)
“This is the album where Outkast started getting into the production side of things. There was a lot of experimenting with beats and of course we were still working with Organize Noize. We were on the road two years before ATLiens was released, so we didnt have a lot of studio time. After the tour, we camped out at a hotel and then jumped back into the Dungeon studio to start work on the album. You could hear the natural progression.
We were serious about our craft and n##### were getting better with expressing themselves. We started to get a little respect from the East and the West Coast. But there was still that little stigma of, Yeah, all those dudes from the south cant rap, except for Outkast [laughs]. ATLiens was a darker album. It was harder and represented more so myself and Dres style. I think the best moment on there is Mainstream. Khujo Goodie and T-Mo [from Goodie Mob] killed it. When I think about this album I always remember wintertime, which was our favorite season to record. We were in this little pod of a basement studio in Atlanta just being absorbed by the music.”
“Aquemini was the last album in which we were in the studio together, all the time. By then we had started mastering our own production. I would start doing things on my own and Dre would start doing things on his own, so we had more to bring to the table. That individuality became more [prominent] on the next album. But you know what was crazy? Shooting that Rosa Parks video. It was a family affair because we had everybody out there including Dres future father-in-law, pastor Hodo, who played the harmonica.
Then we had our dancers, The Crowd Pleasers, to come out and support. When you have high power music like that, it makes people want to move in different kinds of ways. Just to showcase different styles of Atlanta dancing, we were all about that. We used to do the talent shows at the high schools and dancing was a big part of the whole music culture in Atlanta from the Bankhead Bounce on out. That s### was crunk! To me thats what hip-hop is all about: dancing, graffiti art, DJing and rhyming. At the same time, we wanted to make sure that our image matched the energy of the music. This is when Dre started experimenting with his clothes. His thing was I want to look like the music. He was all about making his look more psychedelic and having fun with it. Style is all about personal preference. We didnt give a f### what people were saying about how we dressed.”
Stankonia (2000)“Stankonia represented a wild time for us. We were coming into 1999 and we thought the world was going to end, so we were like, F### it we are going all out! You can hear that on B.O.B. The first time I heard that track, it made me feel a certain way. Its unexplainable. The time changes in the song sent shivers through me; it made me feel invincible. “B.O.B. is that s### that just recharges you; shocks the s### out of your ass. When that song comes on its like, Clear!!!
By Stankonia we had defined our individual styles. You can hear more of a melodic aspect on the songs. Ive always been incorporating singing into my rhymes ever since Elevators. But Dre wanted to take it a step further. He wanted to experiment more with the melodies. It just added another element to the music to where people started saying Dre is singing more and Big is rhyming crazy. Verse wise, I just wanted to be devastating on the mic. When I picked up the microphone, I wanted n##### to know I was the boogeyman [laughs]. Im a true MC at heart. And Dre? You cant f### with him on the mic.
Still, it was important to get other talented [voices] involved. The guys I was bringing in were the people I was cool with. We couldnt listen to a whole album with just my voice and Dres voice. So, instead of going out and getting whoever was hot to jump on a song, we got some n##### who was right around the way that was busting. N##### around my way can rhyme. Thats where the Killer Mikes and Slim Calhouns come from. Outkast, Goodie Mob, Witchdoctor and Cool Breeze were not the only MCs that had talent. To me, we were all a part of the whole southern movement. Just letting other regions know, Okay, these boys lyrical ability is off the chart and they are serious about what they are rapping about.”

This cat Antoine Dodson unwittingly became a victim of the media that interviewed him several times when his sister almost got raped. Well, another company of people called Autotuned News has turned his rant into a song called “Run & Tell That.” LOL!
Here is the original story, if you forgot. There is so much wrong with this, but its also funny.
Should they have let dude bump his gums?
DID RICK ROSS HAVE SOME “ISSUES” OUT IN CALI?
Some people purporting to be members of the Crips hit me up and said that they gave Rick Ross a real hard time out in Cali. I’m really not sure of Ross’ wearabouts in recent days since his CD dropped. But, I have been informed that he was out in Cali and was relieved of some merchandise by the Crips. Now, at first I was told that Ross was robbed and kidnapped, but the kidnapped part was completely false. These Crips have apparently proclaimed that this is just the beginning of the mayhem they plan to impose on rappers that don’t….do…whatever they are supposed to do. Honestly,I don’t know what that is. Cats used to have to pay or something.
MASE IS COMING BACK AGAIN?
Here yee, here yee! I am getting word that Mase is about to try yet AGAIN for a comeback. The word on the street is that Mase hs wriggled out of the Bad Boy deal and has a situation with either EMI (Fat Joe, Raekwon) or Def Jam (Sheek Louch, Shyne). I wonder. And, I am being told the paperwork is almost done.
CONGRATS SWIZZY AND MRS. SWIZZY!
Some pics from the wedding.
THIS IS SAD…
I told you Maia Campbell was at it again. And here is the video.
She used to be one of the finest chicks ever.

T.I. AND TINY HAD ANOTHER WEDDING…AND ANOTHER WEDDING?
These two are in love like a m###. They had their honeymoon last month and had two weddings. Yesterday, they did something in Vegas.
Vegas:
Rumor has it, they had a total of three ceremonies.
EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY Montana Fishburne has given the reasons for her foray into p###.
“I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape by Vivid. I’m hoping the same magic will work for me. I’m impatient about getting well-known and having more opportunities and this seemed like a great way to get started on it.”
This girl is about to get the shock of her life.
Her daddy, Larry Fishburne, has got to be sick with it right now. But, something is clearly missing in the father/daughter/parent/child relationship.
ILLSEED’S QUICKIES
Rumor has it, Ludacris is cooking up a masterpiece of an album.
I know you know this, but I thought I would say it. The girl Caviar from Ray-J’s show is now doing p###. God bless her soul.
Foxy Brown says it is impossible for her to moon her neighbor…she wasn’t wearing panties to begin with! SMH.
I’m hearing the new Batman movie is coming and it will have both The Riddler and Catwoman.
JAY AND YE GET DINNERJay-z and Kanye West ate some dinner Friday night at

RICK ROSS ON DETOX!
Man, I know this is a rumor that every one will HATE, but I have to do what I have to do. This rumor is coming from one of my decent sources from Interscope. Its actually a reliable source, but this one is a bit hard to believe. I am hearing that there is the possibility that Rick Ross may be featured on Detox. Now, there could be a few reasons for this, in my theory. One, it could be another stab at 50 Cent. I still find it odd how Dre’s working with Ashanti, Lil Kim and The Game. All of them had beef with 50 at some point or another. The other is that it seems like Dre is putting together an album featuring all the hottest artists of the day. The first Chronic was Dre MAKING all the hottest artists of the day. So, take it how you want to take this one. I don’t even know.
DAMN RACISTS!!!!!!
I saw this on Twitter, but I left it alone, because I thought the news would pick it up. But, Slaughterhouse had an incident out at a Radison Hotel. Apparently, they have a NO RAPPER policy there and kicked the dudes out JUST for being rappers! What the hell!? Royce D 5 9 was P#####! Here is what he said on Twitter.
“I will NEVER stay at another Raddisson hotel again… EVER! .. Smh racist ass b###### about 22 hours ago via Echofon”
The Radison was not availible for comment against the allegations. LOL. Did I mention, I was at the Radison and was the one that got them kicked out? This is because I am a well-known racist. SMH. I’ll get off it soon, people. Pause.
DID SHADY RECORDS RIP OFF DETROIT DJ?
DJ Butter is a well known, legend from Detroit, but hes stepping up now about something that happened a long time ago. Here is the deal. He had a mixtape called Sh*t Happens and it dropped about 9 years ago. One of the songs on there was taken and turned into a joint on D12s first CD. Now, DJ Butter feels like he was ripped off. I wonder what the legalites are with jacking from a non-commercial product. I dont know if this was actually in stores hell, Im not a lawyer. Here is what D12 member Mr. Porter had to say:
We got the song and we redid the song and we end up using it for our album. We said “Yo! What is the song for Dog?”. We (D12) was going to use it for DJ Butter’s mixtape. Alright lets call Butter and let him know to not put the song out until atleast after the album (Devil’s Night album). And after ya’ll talked (Referring Eminem and Paul talking to DJ Butter), I Kind of understood that they were going to reimbursed you for that. Basically, They didn’t do none of that. None of that went down. Cause I know Eminem did a drop for you. I’m very busy, but when it come down to it. That don’t make sense!
Audio below:
DAMN!
I didnt realize this came out!
Did the Illuminati shut Juve down? Maybe Juvie thought he could trick people and they would think his CD was actually Drakes? I’m just playin…
LOL! REMEMBER THIS?
Remember Scarlet? LOL here is a parody of her backbreaking fall.
50 CENT!
50 Cent showed up at the Latin Film Festival and hes chilling. I wonder what hes there for.
I SEE
Snooki got arrested but I didnt know she looked this bad. She needs to get with Foxy Brown for some tips on how to look when you are getting knocked by the cops.
ATTENTION! HOUSTON! PEEP IT!
IM OUT AGAIN!!!!
It aint NEVER gonna stop!
