“If It Ain’t 808 In Da Trunk, It Ain’t Knock…”

I have no explanation why I woke up with this song in my head. The music junkie’s brain processes memories to the forefront rather strangely. Regardless, it got me charged; hearing the those thunderous 808s blare from whatever contraption Organized Noize developed them from. It’s also funny...

The iPod Shuffle - “Body Rock”

Yeah, it’s Gotty™ checking back in with shoddy footage but that’s alright. it’s clear enough for you to get the drift. Truth be told, I forgot this track til I saw Mike performing it in Atl. But once the double-time of the bass dropped, it was remembered in an instant.

Big Boi Feat. Gucci Mane - “Shine Blockas”

Woot woot! Your morning wake & bake with Antwan & Radric, presumably off the oft-delayed SLLF. Even though the wait has been long, Big is now two-for-two in recent weeks, after first releasing “For Your Sorrows” & now this Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes-based banger.

Big Boi - ”For Your Sorrows”

I don’t know if one song is powerful enough to change expectations for an entire album. But if there was ever a song that managed to make me swallow every questionable word I spoke about Big Boi’s Sir Luscious Left Foot long-player, “For Your Sorrows” might be it.

“Gangsta Sh#t…” - André 3000’s 5 Hardest Verses

I had the misfortune of catching Eminem’s best friend’s show, Wild N’ Out, a few days ago and Big Boi was a guest host. One of the comedians asked Big how it felt to share a stage with someone sporting a pointy bra. Yea, it was funny, but Big shot back a simple response about how Dré would probably...

Gucci Mane Feat. Big Boi & Juelz Santana - “She Got A Friend” Video

I guess that previous footage of brand new BRFF’s Gucci & Big Boi wasn’t a farce because Sir Leftfoot drops off his verse & even Juelz pops up for an appearance. After the break, the clip for “I Think I Love Her/Photo Shoot.”

Video: Big Boi Speaks On His Lucious Leftfoot

…well, referring to those now-infamous left and right shoes. Way to man up, Big. Take the L, keep strollin’. I meant to say this part the other day but didn’t feel like continuing on about the whole thing, plus I wanted to see what Big had to say. Clark Kent & the other cat...

F.I.L.A. But This Ain’t Right…

Yes, I love Atlanta but these two items featuring Atliens left me shaking my head. Point 1: Big Boi in CNN’s “Sneakerhead” article Platinum plaques, stacks on deck & more butts than ashtrays. Sure, all of that. But never, never ever ever ever

Video: Big Boi Live - Gucci Edition

Lafleur x Luscious Leftfoot on a track = Somebody get 3000’s ass into the booth stat! I’m cool with Gucci doing his thing in his lane, but I’m a little leery of him encroaching on other lanes, endangering the safety of all those middle-aged folks & college white chicks who thought...
