Big Boi is one half of the legendary rap group, Outkast. Apart from a couple of guest appearances here and there, Andre 3,000 (the other half) has been off the hip-hop scene for the last couple of years, doing his acting thing. So, it is only right Big Boi do his solo thing. This is actually his second solo album, and it's titled "Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumours". His first solo album was in 2010- Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty.
Below is what he had to say about the album-
"The overall theme [of Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors] is making the best tunes on the planet," he said. "I've always been dedicated to making this Jedi rap shit, we are Jedis, this is elite street Dungeon Family action, and we just take pride in what we do. We love our fans, we've been here for a minute, we gonna be here and we ain't going nowhere. You feel me? That's how we do it…I've [also] got a coffee table book around the time the album comes out."

I think Big Boi put lil too many features maybe prooving the fact that as a solo atrist Big Boi has nothing much to offer...i bet he misses Andre more than any of us
ReplyDeleteYea...i heard back in the day, Andre did most of the writing, and developing of most of their songs, so i'm sure he got used to that. But you have to give him props for at least trying the solo route.
