Free Tickets To Heineken Inspire Featuring Big Boi (ATL)

If you missed out on the amazing Microsoft Kin/Big Boi show that was held here in Atlanta a few months ago it's now time to redeem yourself. On Saturday, September 4 Heineken Inspire will be holding a free show featuring Big Boi, Jermaine Dupri, and more at Opera in Atlanta. I'm sure this show is going to be just as crazy as the Kin show so if you're in Atlanta it's definitely wise to be there.

On top of the concert there will also be food, drinks, games, and other entertainment.

To RSVP to the show sign up for a pair of tickets on ShowClix.com. Use the code INSPIREATL. Be sure to print out your ticket and bring it with you the day of the event. Oh, and you have to be 21 and up. Sorry kiddies.

Shout out to @Likeshawndavid for the heads up on this one!

Big Boi ft. Vonnegutt - "Follow Us" (Video)

Rapper Big Boi has just released the 28th video off of his upcoming album Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son Of Chico Dusty. I'm joking...he definitely hasn't released that many videos although it damn sure feels like it lol. Big Boi's latest video is for his track with Vonnegutt entitled "Follow Us." Another amazing song from the album.

I'm sure we all know by now, but in case you happen to live under a rock Big Boi's album is dropping on July 6. You can actually stream the full album now on MySpace, but do make sure to buy the album when it's released!

Stream Big Boi's New Album Before Its Release

If you want to get a sneak peek at what is sure to be one of the hottest albums this year then you're in luck, MySpace is letting fans listen to Big Boi's new album in its entirety. I've yet to hear the full album, but as soon as this janky ass internet connection gets it together I'm on it! I've posted several songs/videos from the album in the past month because I'm feeling all of it. Be extra sure to cop the album when it's released on Tuesday, July 6.

Big Boi - "General Patton" (Video)

Atlanta rapper Big Boi has been on a roll this month. It seems like every week there's either a new video, new track, or both! Most recently, Big Boi released the video for the cracktastical (meaning REALLY good) track "General Patton." Personally, I'm diggin' the video. I'm all for music videos that show people having a good time because that's what music is supposed to do.

Shortly after the "General Patton" video debuted I was on RapRadar watching the vid and someone in the comments section was upset because they thought it was just another mediocre, low budget video from Big Boi. I thought that was kinda bogus because the budget doesn't make the video, the music does. As far as the music video is concerned I would much rather see Big Boi chillin' at the bowling alley with his homies as opposed to Big Boi on a yacht in South Beach drinking absurd amounts of Hennessy with some video chics.

Big Boi - "General Patton"

This week, "General Patton," yet another song from Big Boi's upcoming album entitled Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son Of Chico Dusty was released. And let me tell you, this song is on fiyaaaaaah! Big Boi's album is definitely one I'm really looking forward to. Mr. Patton might even be Top 5 for me (hater's go 'head and hate).

Cool Video Recap Of Kin Concert Featuring Big Boi

The folks over at Microsoft Kin put together this short, but sweet video recap of last weeks free concert in Atlanta featuring Big Boi, YelaWolf, and Jay Electronica. Also, check out my brief recap of the event here.

Microsoft Kin/Big Boi Show Recap

Last night in Atlanta I had one of the best times yet! And I pray to the Gods that this is a sampling of what this summer will be like in the A.

So the good folks over at Microsoft Kin held a secret show in Atlanta yesterday (May 27) that consisted of performances from Big Boi, YelaWolf, and Jay Electronica. Oh, and for all you lushes out there there was an open bar at the event also. Each person was allowed four drinks. Big shout out to all the double fisters who were at the show last night. You alcoholics crack me up every time!

Any who, Jay Electronica kicked off the show and killed it of course. He even went into some hilarious rant about women who like being choked during sex. Random, I know. The crowd loved it though. Next up was Alabama's own YelaWolf. Catfish Billy hit the audience with "Pop The Trunk" and even brought out Atlanta rapper Pill for "I Wish."

Last but not least was Big Boi and when I tell you his performance was insane...it was INSANE. He hit us with a few classic Outkast tracks like "Rosa Parks," "B.o.B," and "ATLiens." He performed "Shutterbugg" from his upcoming album Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son Of Chico Dusty. And he absolutely murderrred it with "Kryptonite!" The entire crowd went wild. The floor in the venue was literally bouncing. I stepped on like three different peoples feet and what did they do? One guy hugged me and the other two smiled. It was that type of atmosphere. Everyone was just worried about having a good time.

Soooo if Microsoft Kin can throw a free concert featuring Big Boi I'm thinking Blackberry or iPhone can sponsor a free Outkast reunion concert? What do ya'll think? Am I pushing it?

Picture Diaries: Big Boi Listening Session (Atlanta)

On Saturday, May 8 Amoura from The Girls I Love and I had the opportunity to check out the Atlanta album listening session for Big Boi's upcoming project Sir Luscious Leftfoot: The Son Of Chico Dusty. It was definitely off the chain. Good music, drinks, and food...what more can you ask for? I got a couple of pics in while I was there. They aren't the greatest, but I figured I'd post them on here.

Be sure to check out my recap of the event over at RefinedHype.com. And look out for Big Boi's album when it drops on July 6.

Big Boi's son. His wife, mother, and other relatives also came out to the listening session.

His son pretty much "cut a rug" all night!

And when he was done cutting a rug...

Cheeeeesin'

Big Boi ft. Gucci Mane - "Shine Blockas" (Video)

Last night at the strike of midnight (hello Cinderella!) the music video for Big Boi and Gucci Mane's "Shine Blockas" premiered on the internet. I was pretty amped to see the video, in fact, by 12:01 a.m. I'm pretty sure I was already glued to my laptop. The song is hot, but I'm gonna go ahead and say the video left a little something to be desired.

Obviously, Gucci Mane wasn't able to appear in the video but I think they could have done without the random pictures of him. It kinda made it seem like a memorial which was kinda weird. I love how the video started off in Walmart. That was kinda random and funny, but aside from that eh it was aight. I still can't wait for the Big Boi album though!

Sneaker Pimps NYC!

Now this is one of those events that is REALLY gonna make me regret not being in NYC. Sneaker Pimps are hitting the rotten apple and they're bringing Big Boi, Wale, The Clipse, and more with them. Aside from the crazy performances there will also be live artist installations, an XBOX Battle, and more.

Tickets for the event are $25 in advance and can be purchased at Ticketmaster. Check out the flyer below for more info.
