BIG BOI FEATURING T.I.-TANGERINE

Despite having label drama, Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot…The Son of Chico Dusty debut will be released next week. Tracks keep popping up and giving us a little prelude to the main event. In my opinion, The Love Below totally overpowered Speakerboxx, but now I look forward to getting a 100% Big Boi solo project. Here’s the latest, “Tangerine” featuring T.I. What do you think about it? Chime in!

THE MAKING OF OUTKAST’S AQUEMINI

Outkast’s Aquemini album was a true classic. You could put it on and let the entire thing play without a hitch. This CL Atlanta story has each participant in the project weigh in and reflect on the creative process. The behind-the-scenes perspective is ill. It’s like taking the liner notes and digging deeper. Enjoy the article–it’s a lengthy but great read:

Man, first they were some pimps. Then they were some aliens or some genies – some shit. Then they be talkin’ ’bout that black righteous space. Man, fuck them. I ain’t fuckin’ with them no mo’.
– – “Return of the G’ skit, Aquemini

By the time Aquemini was due to drop in the fall of 1998, no one knew what to expect from the-soon-to-be-iconic OutKast.

BIG BOI – LOOKIN’ FOR YA (F/ ANDRE 3000)

Slow down homie. It’s not an Outkast joint per say, but we all know any Big Boi x Dre 3K song is as good as gold. This track was SUPPOSED to be on Big Boi‘s new album ‘The Son Of Chico Dusty‘, but Jive was supposedly on the bullsh*t and wouldn’t let Andre 3000 on the album. Trés lame. God bless the internet however, and the good folks at Rap Radar for the leak. Great music! Indulge!

Here’s another new joint from Big Boi’s new project The Son Of Chico Dusty, featuring Gucci Mane. Man, I swear for all the elitist ass shit we put up here at Blind I, Gucci Mane finds a way to sneak in & get posted everywhere.
