Did Big Boi have the most Atlanta week ever?
Big Boi started off this week by releasing two tracks that had only ATL artists featured, and being a rap game vet was a requirement. He paired up with current hype-man and Organized Noize alum Sleepy Brown on “Doin’ It”. Then he decided to slather more Atlanta flavor on his B-side by enlisting Killer Mike and Dungeon Family’s Backbone. The tracks pair up in true Big Boi style. His two most popular tracks of his last album were the uber-catchy “All Night” and the hard-hitting “Kill Jill”. The essence of those two are summed up in his new pair of tracks.
Now let’s talk about it: The Super Bowl halftime show. Nevermind, let’s just talk about Big Boi’s 2 minutes. To start, he rolled up in a Cadillac to a painfully short, not even ringtone length snippet of “Kryptonite”. Though it seems it only took about 15 seconds of being chauffeured to get him a new ride:

Next up, time for Sleepy Brown to get paid. I’m sure Adam Levine wanted to be the only one to sing the chorus, but Antoine had to look out for his day one, Sleepy. SO MANY SONGS TO CHOOSE FROM, but we can’t be mad at him picking an Outkast track, though it was essentially his solo breakout.
(You’ll have to watch the video below on YouTube’s site/app, because there’s no way I’m going to link to the entire halftime show)
To follow everything up, Big Boi made the ATL hats and ATLiens jackets available for purchase before the game was even over. His site was flooded with orders, and they couldn’t even keep up with all the expedited shipping. That’s right, just like in the 90s, you’ll see people all over the country repping Outkast clothing.
To cap it off, he left the stage with an “ATL HO” chant that would have made a non-corporate crowd erupt. Truly, he was the only entertaining part of a boring Super Bowl.

And to keep bringing Atlanta glory to the rest of the country, Big Boi announced the upcoming Dungeon Family reunion tour.
They’ve sure come a long way from recording in an crawlspace under a house. Here’s hoping the handful of cities will show up to appreciate the greatness that was, and is Atlanta music.
Now go on and marinate on that for a minute.
