Big Boi
Outkast’s Big Boi and streetwear brand SSUR have cooked up a new capsule collection that releases today. Featuring three snapbacks, which comes in red, black, and a dark green camouflage, the release caters to the Atlanta legend’s longtime fans.
When word got out that Outkast were reuniting at Coachella 2014 and a host of other festivals, most rejoiced in jubilation, but there was still a certain pessimism in the air. All of those feelings were laid to rest last night, as the ATLiens took the at the California festival.
Big Boi draws inspiration from Paul McCartney in his latest mash-up “Mrs. Vandebilt,” featuring Wings, Kelly Rowland and Little Dragon.
Last night, Big Boi delivered the final song from his “Mash-Up Mondays” series, and if anything’s clear, it’s that the legend’s musical knowledge is vast and eclectic. The close-out track is titled “Part Time Hater,” featuring KiD CuDi and Stevie Wonder.
It wouldn’t have been shocking for HBO to recruit bands in the same vein of Godsmack or Avenged Sevenfold to represent their Game of Thrones inspired mixtape in the slightest.
There’s no telling how many remixes Big Boi has up his sleeve, but he delivers his latest today. Titled “Lanes,” the track features A$AP Rocky, Phantogram, and A-ha.
Popular book-turned-HBO series, Game of Thrones, is the topic of conversation at water coolers across the world each Monday after an episode airs. Some of your favorite rappers have taken those conversations to wax on the official forthcoming mixtape, Catch The Throne.
HBO’s Game Of Thrones has a seriously cult following amongst Hip-Hop heads, thanks to scenes of gratuitous violence, passionate sex and nudity and a never-ending fight for absolute power.
The struggle revolving around child support payments and Atlanta rappers has reached a zenith of epic proportions. Where as D-Roc of the Ying Yang Twins and most recently, Ludacris have claimed their pockets contain more lint than loot, Big Boi is flat-out refusing to be taken to the cleaners by his estranged wife Sherlita Patton.
Either Queen Latifah was trolling the world to vamp up ratings or the Aquemini twins didn’t want to burst our bubble too easy because Big Boi is now saying there is no new Outkast album on the way.
Just like that, the stone cold grooves are steadily rolling out courtesy of Big Boi, who delivered another ill mashup titled “Damaged World,” featuring Menahan Street Band.
Big Boi is back with another freebie track to bless your earholes following last week’s “CPU 2.0.” The track, titled “GossipZilla,” is a mash-up of epic proportions featuring Big K.R.I.T., UGK, and Blue Oyster Cult.
