Add that to a track with a Big Boi feature to that and you get heads nodding with “Banana Clippers.” The single will be on the FREE album due out June 2013 entitled “Fool’s Gold.” May as well provide you guys with a FREE download of the single to hold you over, right?

Big Boi Talks About What He Might Have Been: Kid Shrink, Coke Kingpin, Comic Collector (Video)
In this Fuse TV ‘Intimate Interview,’ Big Boi talks about some revealing stuff… why he doesn’t have many scars today (too damn poor as a kid to even have a bike to fall off). And he touches on some sweet memories…. like dorky collections he had as a kid. But he manages to keep it ultra light; no sob stories. In fact, the reflective & at times ‘sad’ piano music used in this interview is hilarious in itself…Hahaaa!

Big Boi Politics: 1/2 Of Outkast Speaks On Why He Didn’t Vote For President Barack Obama (Video)
If you follow Big Boi on twitter like I do then you should already have an idea of his political views. Personally I find myself having more in common with Big Boi’s political views than most people which is one of the primary reasons I do follow him on twitter. I don’t follow many artists on twitter unless they do have something significant to say or if they are able to bring my attention to something important other than “entertainment”.  I’m an independent & I agree with many of the views of the Libertarian party although I don’t have any political affiliations with ANY political party. In the last presidential election my views fell in line more with candidates like Jill Stein or Gary Johnson more than President Barack Obama, but unfortunately the way the American political process works it was clear to me Jill Stein & Gary Johnson didn’t have a shot at actually winning. Although more independent voices are cropping up over the past decade the reality is until there are significant campaign reforms, independent candidates many never have a real shot. In an ideal world I would have voted for either of those two, but I feel wasting a vote on a candidate that is unable to actually win played a huge part in my personal decision & voting for Mitt Romney was entirely out of the question. In a recent interview on HuffPost Live, Big Boi sets the record straight for people who “assumed” he voted for President Barack Obama in addition to a few other hot button topics. Check out more of the interview in the videos below after the jump…..

Big Boi Puts Faith In The Atlanta Falcons On ESPN’s First Take (Video)
It’s a huge playoff game for the Atlanta Falcons this weekend as they take on the red hot Seattle Seahawks. As of right now the Atlanta Falcons are a 2-point favorite to beat the Seahawks, but in their last playoff game they only scored 2-points total versus the Green Bay Packers. No wonder people unwilling to give that vote of confidence in the Atlanta Falcons winning their first playoff game ever. Big Boi stopped by ESPN’s First Take & chopped it up with Stephen A. Smith & Skip Bayless about Atlanta’s chances & believes they will do well if they stay out of the strip clubs before the big game.

Big Boi – “In The A” feat. Ludacris x T.I. (Video)
“Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors” still going strong with stuff like this. Dope music video for Big Boi’s single “In the A” (featuring T.I. and Ludacris). A Happy Place production, directed by Alexi Papalexopoulos (trying saying that three times fast). Props to DP Mark Sandhoff and editor Andre Jones. Love how they take images of the ‘real’ ATL – no frills – and deliver it raw over this raw cut. Watch!

Big Boi x Little Dragon Perform ‘Mama Told Me’ On Jimmy Fallon (Video)
I remember a while back Big Boi tweeted that he was working with Little Dragon for a song on his new album ‘Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors’ that drops this Tuesday December 11th. Upon glancing over the tracklisting I’m surprised to see a few songs featuring Little Dragon will make the album. One of my favorites singles from the album “Mama Told Me” featuring Kelly Rowland was originally done with the Swedish band as well. Check out the video of Big Boi & Little Dragon performing “Mama Told Me” on Jimmy Fallon last night above then download the original version of the song below.
Big Boi – “In The A” feat. Ludacris x T.I.
When I first heard Big Boi’s new Atlanta anthem “In The A” featuring Ludacris & T.I. my first thought was they need to play this in Philips Arena during the Atlanta Hawks games. Seems like Big Boi’s plans for the record were even greater for that ‘stadium status’….

Big Boi is dropping “Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors” on December 11, 2012. The 14-track album will feature the likes of T.I., Ludacris, B.O.B., and Kelly Rowland. Should be pretty damned good. Until then, we have this leak – “Lines” – to enjoy. It features A$AP Rocky and Phantogram.

Big Boi – “The Crown Life: Europe” (Video)
“In celebration of Crown Royal Black’s partnership with Big Boi, cameras went behind the scenes to document Big Boi during his tour in Europe to capture moments of his life and career that showcase his definition of “The Crown Life.” The short film lets audiences into Big Boi’s life as he performed at Glastonbury in England and at Hove Festival in Norway, as well as a day off in Budapest, Hungary. The film is directed by Jacob Lincoln for Greenpoint Pictures.” – Crown Life
Throwback: Andre 3000 Freestyling in High School (Video)
Check out Andre 3000 kicking bars in South West Dekalb’s gym circa 1994. The video says this took place at SouthWest Dekalb High School, but if I remember correctly both Andre 3000 & Big Boi attended Tri-Cities High School. Guess it doesn’t really matter to most of you unless you live in Atlanta, but it’s still dope to check out this small piece of history. You can also see Big Boi in there chillin too. Dope Stuff!!
Big Boi Working with Little Dragon (Video)
I’m a fan of the Swedish band Little Dragon & it’s obvious I’m not the only one as Big Boi aka “Daddy Fat Saxxx” has begun work on his next album which will feature a track or two with Yukimi of Little Dragon. While taking a break following a 10 hour recording session at the world famous Stankonia studios here in Atlanta they talked a little bit about the project. What I really want to know is where did Big Boi get that hoodie he’s rocking because that joint is kinda dope.
