Here are the highlights from Big Boi's outstanding Reddit AMA

by Tyler Munro

“What’s pimpin’ redditors? dis Big Boi AKA Daddy Fat Sax AKA Sir Lucious L Leftfoot the L DOES stand for Lavender cause the ladies love to put lip-gloss on my lapel…As One Half of The Mighty Outkast, and 1 Whole of Me…” and with that, one of Reddit’s best Ask Me Anythings in a long time was underway. The real reason Outkast’s better half jumped on the popular website was to premiere the video for “Tom Pettie” but what followed was a flurry of revelations fitting to the tongue-twisting MCs long standing legend. Here are the highlights:

What would be your last meal?

 

How did Outkast get George Clinton for “Synthesizer”? Was “Fo Yo Sorrows” sampled? Why go with live instruments over samples and did the decision happen organically?

 

What does SpottieOttieDopaliscious mean?

 

What’s your creative process?

 

Big Boi is really good at Word With Friends and Candy Crush Saga.

 

The verse Big Boi had or has the hardest time with? It’s on the Tomb Raider soundtrack. Wait for it (3:38 if you’re lazy)

 

And so on and so forth. If you’re wondering, Big Boi doesn’t know if Ms. Jackson ever forgave Andre 3000, he eats at Waffle House a lot and he didn’t comment on a possible reunion with Dre. Check the whole thread here.
