Big Boi - "Lines" feat. A$AP Rocky and Phantogram

I. Can't. Wait!

Everything that Big Boi has released from the 'Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors' album has been insane. He continues to push the envelope creatively and this new release, "Lines", is another tick mark in his incredibly long hit list.

You've got to love that he can bring in a young new artist like A$AP Rocky and obscure to the Hip-Hop scene Phantogram and marry it all into something we've never heard. Something epic!

I don't see how we can have any discussions about Hip-Hop legends, Top 5, 10, 20, whatever without giving Big Boi his propers as one of the best in the game. The man has been flawless on all of his solo projects. He continually cultivates his sound to grow bigger and bolder than what we've heard before from him and doesn't seem to falter in any way, shape or form. Absolutely amazing.

Anyway, check out the new track "Lines" and look for 'Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors' on December 11th. 

Big Boi - "Tangerine"

What's the game been missing?

SOUL

Rap these days has no history.  Abusing samples is not "history".  I'm talking about that feeling.  That funk.  Jammin' on the one.

Outkast has always filled that void for me.  Together or apart their sound is honest, authentic, soulful and distinct.  They are Parliament/Funkadelic for my generation.  Big Boi released this video today to satiate his fans' thirst for that DF official.  In Stankonia studio he plays "Tangerine" in its entirety and minus featured artist T.I.

Can you dig it?
