July 18, 2010, Union Park, Chicago. The Pitchfork Music Festival. The sun had been beating down all day, and everything stunk. People were laid out in the grass, asleep next to piles of empty beer cups, wiped out after a whole weekend of beers, ironic eyewear, sun, and (mostly deserved) hype.
Across the park, Major Lazer paraded their (awesome) freak show all over the stage and all over each other in the blaring sun. Just as their hyperactive set closed, the sun dipped behind the trees, and instantly the vibe cooled down. Plumes of smoke popped into the air, beers were finished hastily, and as the sun went down, the hands went up, and Big Boi stormed the stage.
Backed by DJ Cutmaster Swiff, bass, guitar, and a horn section, Big ripped through an opening medley of all of his best Outkast verses. "ATLiens", "So Fresh So Clean", "B.O.B.", "Rosa Parks", "Ms. Jackson", "Skew it on The Bar-B" and more all blended into each other, making it clear the Big was not afraid to give the people what they wanted, clearing the way for his new stuff by blasting all of his greatest hits (and DAMN there were a lot of them) before breaking into all the best from Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.Read more
The first album...come on man.....! What! Get outta here. heard it the first time i was going to ATL at aged 15...my homie was listening to it, and he said in those immortal words that will ever ring true: "Listen to this." i was taken to the future and past all in one song. it was what meant "me". all that i knew lay i those beats and those rythms, and those lyrics..all that i was and am.

Big Boi smashed Leno's stage last night with a live version of "Shutterbugg" and it was ridiculous. You can tell by the performance and the musical arrangement that Big has had this in the works for a long time, and he was hungry to take the stage. Check out the performance below to get a good sense of what Big's upcoming shows (pitchfork anyone?) will look like.Read more
