DX: On the topic of the younger generation, I know Future has a common connection with you guys in Rico Wade. What was it like to see him and chop it up with him before he became the juggernaut that he is today?

Big Boi: He was in a group in the generation that came in the Dungeon after us and me and Dre were heavy on the road so I just remember seeing him at the Dungeon and they was recording. They had a group called Da Connect, like a whole bunch of them in there, the whole Dungeon Family second generation squad with Slimm Calhoun and Lil Will, so they were in there working on music while we were on the road so we would see each other periodically in the Dungeon and then he went off and went out of town and he found his sound and he started cracking. That had to be like ’99.

DX: You have a contribution from Pimp C on Boomiverse. Pimp was known as a legendary partier. Do you have a favorite memory of hanging out with the late legend?

Big Boi: Oh absolutely. Back when we did either Aquemini or Stankonia, we were at the gentlemen’s club in Atlanta and after that — I had put a stripper pole in my house — and everybody came back to my house. It was Pimp C, Sleepy Brown, some members of Goodie Mob. We were deep man, and we all partied until the next afternoon. And we woke up to like girls cooking breakfast. It was amazing. Truly amazing. He spent the night at my house that night. In the “Boom Boom Room.” That shit was like Boogie Nights. After the club closed we would take at least 30 girls back to my house and if you don’t know about the ‘Boom Boom Room’ Google it. I got the pole in there, smoke machine, laser lights, high powered stereo, aquarium, very plush leather seats. It was just the place to be you know what I’m saying so that’s my favorite memory, me, him and Sleepy Brown partied all night long.

DX: With the success of Straight Outta Compton and the buzz behind All Eyez On Me, has there been any talk among you guys of an Outkast biopic?

Big Boi: Me and [Andre 3000] just spoke about it last week when I was in New York. I think he might have been taking a couple meetings talking to people and then I got a couple of people in mind that I’ma talk to, one of them being Lee Daniels who I just did the TV show Star with so yeah all that’s coming and we just know it’s time to do it. It’s coming!

DX: If you have a choice of anyone who would you want to play you?

Big Boi: Shit, I don’t know, maybe one of my sons could do it cause they look exactly like me and they know all the words to all the raps so they probably could pull it off, and they know me so I may have to do the Cube move and pick one of my sons to play me.

I really appreciate what Big Boi had to say about switching up soundscapes (production) and rhyme patterns within an album. Being aware of those types of variation can keep your listener intrigued.

I can definitely say that's​ why a lot of us herald Dre and Big Boi as two of the best to ever do it.

Ps, @Stew, Future is 2nd gen :joy:
 
D2mn.....the only thing this interview was missing is Big Boi saying the mandatory quote:

"After this album drops......we gonna hit y'all with that Outkast album"
