Re: Big Boi
Goddamn amazing.
I’ve been a fan of the band for a minute… We’re all musicians and producers and artists, and it’s just like a big-ass brainstorm, a brain-stormin’, tsunami, typhoon, tectonic-plates-movin’ kind of thing. We do all types of music, so to get the chance to jam with a jammin’-ass band, I knew it was going to be cool. We had a vibe too. We made a couple of records that are just jamming. It’s a hodgepodge of funkiness…I’m not rapping on anything, as of yet… It’s their music. I’m also a producer, as well as an artist, but I’m not just going to jump on something just to jump on it, you know? The fans don’t have to worry. There’s nothing like, ‘Oh, Modest Mouse, there’s some rapping going on the album!’ If there needs to be some rapping on there, I will destroy it, but right now, we’re just really marinating with the music to see where everything’s going to go… Just know this motherfucker is jamming, man. Believe me.

Erin’s birthday is in February, and she let me know (in no uncertain terms) a while ago that what she really wanted was to get out of Ohio for the weekend.
So I just got us tickets to see The Black Keys in Vegas.
Big Boi (!) is opening.
I think I did good.
Big Boi feat. Andre 3000 | ”Lookin’ For Ya (Jedi Remix)”
P4k:
There were a ton of incredible tracks on Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, the recent solo album from Big Boi. But one song that didn’t make the final album was ”Lookin’ for Ya”, Big Boi’s collaboration with his OutKast partnerAndre 3000. (According to Big Boi, record label issues led to Andre’s absence from the album.)
Now, a remix of “Lookin’ for Ya” has surfaced that features virtuoso new verses from both Big Boi and Andre. The last Andre verse is a pretty great indication that this guy is still one of the greatest rappers in the world when he’s in the mood.
