The full album is streaming on MySpace now and we can all listen guilt-free because Big’s apparently down with it. But make sure to purchase on July 6th, okay? That’s what friends and supporters do, especially when it comes to good music. Read the rest of this entry »

We’re going back to Frazier Homes, only this time Big Boi isn’t our tour guide. It is, instead, his Uncle Darnell. Perhaps you’ll remember him from the title track “ATLiens.”

“And I try, to warn you not to test but you don’t listen/Givin’ the shout out to my Uncle Darnell locked up in prison…” Read the rest of this entry »

As any mother can testify, having a father or father figure around is irreplaceable. Certain life lessons can only be taught by a man, which is why Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty is so unique. Used as a form of therapy, Big began recording the album shortly after his father’s passing. Read the rest of this entry »

According to Hot Tub’s tweet yesterday, this will be the actual artwork for the Sir Lucious and it’s sexy sexy. Illustrations by Rob The Barber, not Dre this time around. At this point, the July 6 release date cannot come soon enough.

The world keeps turning and ‘Twan’s date with destiny marches closer and closer – even if Jive isn’t trying to play fair. The next clip in Big Boi’s mini series finds us at Savannah High School. On what they originally thought to be pep rally, the students were pleasantly surprised to see one of their most famous alumni come chop it up. Read the rest of this entry »

Jive Records can eat a bag of baby dongs.

We’ve waited damn near a decade for new Outkast (no, Idlewild doesn’t count) and Jive records has pretty much guaranteed that the reunion won’t be taking place on Big Boi’s forthcoming album. Big explained the whole scenario to the good folks at the Gentleman’s Quarterly. Read the rest of this entry »

Sir Lucious continues to drop heat rocks, here’s “General Patton” fresh from the man via his Twitter. There’s even a Big Rube appearance to cap things off. At this point, I think it’s safe to say this album deserves a pre-order. Read the rest of this entry »

One thing I’ve always respected about Big Boi was his patience. These past few years it seems as if everyone has had the same four questions.

1. Where’s Andre?

2. Are you two still cool?

3. What’s taking so long for your solo album?

4. Will there ever be another OutKast album? Read the rest of this entry »

I’m super-jealous that this twerp (I don’t personally know this guy, so I think I’m officially doing what the kids call “hating” because I’m envious) got to hang out with Big Boi. Not only did they have a discussion about Sir Lucious Left Foot…, but Big spits a few bars. Not from the album. Not from a mixtape. But off the top of the noggin. It’s everything you love about him: real Hip-Hop, down-to-earth and a dash of pimp sh*t.

The album drops July 6th. For real this time. Read the rest of this entry »

From the moment “Shutterbugg” made its rounds on the ‘net, the anticipation for the visuals were already at code red levels. It just feels like one of those records that will only get better once a video is added to the mix. With the accompanying footage, we find ourselves one step closer. Read the rest of this entry »

Going home always provides a sense of perspective. It allows a person to see how far they have come in their life while providing more motivation for the future. With a little more than two months until the release of Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty, Big Boi recently kicked his mini-series which will ultimately provide an insight and inspiration behind the project.

Uugggghhhhh… I hate you for this, Big Boi. Read the rest of this entry »

Nuff said.

Truthfully, I don’t think even Big Boi has a concrete reason why this project has the molasses effect simmering from its innards. But at the end of the day, when the music is timeless, all that matters is that it eventually reaches the surface and into the people’s awareness. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear ‘Kast,

We here at TSS are huge fans of your work. The old stuff, the new stuff and everything in between. We’ve covered all the bases round these parts. We even had a sit down some time ago. Hell, my first post was related to you all. That being said, it’s a new year and I, personally, have new-found hope of walking into a Best Buy on some random Tuesday of this year and spending my money (yes, I still purchase CD’s) on a project cultivated by you two.

Words By Landon A.

Whether you know him as Daddy Fat Sacks, Billy Ocean, Francis the Savannah Chittlin Pimp or simply Big Boi, the ‘Lac pushing, herb crumblin’ half of Outkast throws yet another table scrap to those drooling in anticipation for his first solo release. This morsel comes in the form of an apparently impromptu music video for “Shine Blockas,” which as you’ll see began in an Atlanta Wal-Mart shopping for footies and video games. However, one thing you will not see in this video is the “Burr”mane himself, Gucci Mane, but brother Big does his just duty and shouts out the incarcerated trapper, even lip-syncing a few of his bars along the way. Watch and enjoy. Read the rest of this entry »
