Big Boi Reveals Which Outkast Song He Thinks Is the Greatest
He also shared which verses he considers the greatest from both himself and fellow Outkast member Andre 3000.
If you’ve ever wondered what Outkast song Big Boi considers the Grammy-winning duo’s greatest, well now you know.
During an appearance on Complex’s GOAT Talk series, where he was paired up with Olympic snowboarder Shaun White, Big Boi tackled the question of what he considers the “GOAT Outkast song.”“I think mine is going to be ‘SpottieOttieDopaliscious,’” the rapper said. “Because of the horns. It’s so enchanting. So when you get in the Cadillac, you turn that on and you ride around.”
Big Boi discussed the song’s creation in a 2022 interview with Rolling Stone.
“I just remember being camped out for a long time with Dre, and him saying, ‘No, run that back, no do it like this.’ He was very meticulous with it too. But it turned out perfect,” he said, adding, “Everything is organic as can be in that song, from scratch. No drum programming. Nothing hitting on the same one. It’s something different every couple of bars, it changes up.”
During the GOAT Talk chat, he also spoke on what he thinks is his greatest verse, saying, “One of them gotta be ‘ATLiens’ — ‘Cooler than a polar bear’s toenails,’ you know what I mean?”
And he also shared what he believes is Andre 3000’s greatest verse.
“I’mma go with ‘B.O.B.,’” Big Boi said. “The way he opened the song up was crazy, you know what I mean? And when he did it, it was just, like, I had to push the envelope and follow suit.”
And of course, it was only right that the GOAT Talk episode ended with Big Boi being asked who the “GOAT rap duo” is, to which he simply responded, “What’re we talking about?”- Big Boi Shares a Psychedelic Boom Boom Room Story ›
