Big Boi - What's in My Bag?

[@davidhammers9708]

love how Big Boi never lets an opportunity to talk up Kate Bush slip by

[@uiogu]

His analysis of Kate Bush here is by far the best I've ever heard, and I'm a big fan of hers.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I know right, she is amazing i have a couple of her CDs.

[@thewhoman3182]

Ikr it's great to know that one of my favourite rappers has respect for one of my favourite artists.

[@jay-el-bee]

Right?! Love it.

[@SE-ZESS]

Uncle Russell is getting quite a bit shine as well!

[@Harkinless]

I discover that one of the best things in the Earth is just listen to Big Boi talk about Kate Bush. Thanks, Amoeba.

[@nicholasvaughan1328]

"I went to the show in London, and it was one of the greatest concerts...it's not even a concert - I would say it was a presentation of excellence...it was a play." The man sincerely loves Kate Bush.

[@sebmania17]

I love how he loves Kate as much as I love her...

[@iamsheep]

I don't think I've ever heard an analysis of Kate Bush's music like that before. I love it! All good musicians have diverse tastes in music.

[@petitnicollas]

Big Boi is so eccletic, most people take him for granted because of Andre.

Andre 3000 is prince and Big Boi is michael jackson

[@birdy1numnum]

Big Boi goin' off here! I love that he loves Kate Bush...dude is straight cool. Rolling joints on MJ's album - Maggot Brain - c'mon, he is the coolest.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I agree

[@cbond1c113]

In my opinion, you've got to love anyone who loves KATE BUSH. That's just music appreciation 101. She's musical royalty.

[@victorio_retrogrado]

Not the biggest fan of hip hop, but Outkast always stroke a chord with me. Knowing Big Boi is a fan of Kate Bush brings in another level of appreciation. There's nothing quite like Kate!

[@bellafallaaa9524]

True !

[@kaylad4486]

Ok

[@HousePetMarla]

Even though Outkast is well known I still think Big Boi is one of the most underrated musicians of all time. Utter genius.

[@atree88]

'It was more like a pre-sen-tation of excellence' one of the best things i have ever heard on this show. Kate Bush

[@Hal9000ize]

I am surprised about Big Boi being into Kate Bush

[@David_T]

More surprised with being into MJ.

[@gregc7699]

David T why would you be surprised about that MJ is the greatest Bush is weird but MJ is amazing

[@LetThePoorStarve]

Me too! Bush has never been huge in the USA. She has never played a show in the US (and didn't tour much anywhere else). It seems only geeky new wave fans were into her in the US.

[@VinylandKicks86]

@Hal9000ize, i'm not she is highly respected/admired by artist of many genres 2Pac was also a Kate Bush Fanatic.

[@DoctorFurioso]

That's what's so great about What's In Your Bag, man: you get to find out what surprising taste all these cats have in music, and knowing Outkast has Metallica and Kate Bush influences.

[@paolo-n2000]

Best Amoeba "What's in my bag" episode! Big Boi brings to life the magic of buying vinyl at your record shop! The Kate Bush props were a surprise but, so worthy! Amazing! Nice work Big Boi!!!!

[@LaceAurum]

His exact explanation to hearing Maggot Brain was my first reaction to hearing that song 😪!! a real tear jerker!! that guitar!!

[@ninjawombatfilmco]

Big Boi talked about kate bush for like a minute and a half amazing

[@gabew5876]

Big Boi deserves more credit-- the spotlight's always on André.

[@soundofominous4646]

Big Boi > Dré

[@summon9fire]

They complementary.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

True

[@evole73]

Maggot brain is incredible, Eddie Hazel goes off on that shit. Good picks

[@XenojinX]

this is fucking awesome. big boi is fucking awesome. goddamn i wish there was a new outkast record coming out. outkast we miss you. rap needs you right now

[@brianmitchell3842]

Kate Bush! I'm so jealous about Big Boi seeing that show. Amazing choice.

[@emlawncare3613]

No song has brought tears to my eyes more than Magot Brain.

[@Diatonic5th]

Legend! I like the fact that he bought albums that he will actually listen to, instead of trying to impress people with obscure picks.

[@bellafallaaa9524]

tru!

[@lateshiachilds3640]

Exactly

[@collt091]

Facts

[@vernellthomas6644]

Big Boi is the dude! Those Parliament Funkadelic albums always intrigued me as a child. You can’t help but to remember those album covers...trippy shyt

[@brianeharmonjr]

Soooo dope that he's into Kate Bush and Funkadelic so much. Love it!

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I love his selection of music. It's cool knowing him and Raphael Saadiq love Kate Bush music. I finally went in Amoebas a couple of weekends ago Saturday and Sunday and I brought two Kate Bush CDs, Prince CD, and some other music.

[@kakabudi]

Damn Big Boi and Andre have so much creativity and inspiration to draw from. No wonder Outkast still bumps to this day!

[@Zelinc]

Also one of my favorite songs and records. Maggot Brain

[@snacpaczack8264]

Running up that hill is a classic big ups an mad respect big boi

[@Nantosuelta]

im not a rap fan and didnt know anything really about Big Boi, but after seeing this I have a lot of respect for him. Seems like a fun guy to sit around listening to tunes with

[@Unklechopchop]

Anything Big Boi /Outkast is genius!! There's no wonder his picks are top shelf 👌

[@thischarminglovehound2376]

Kate Bush is my favorite too. Big Boi has great taste. Kate is an amazing songwriter and producer. One of the first to incorporate sampling. Tupac loved her too. GENIUS.

[@thedreamsoldiers]

Listening to him is listening to an all time 🐐

[@marvingonzalez6891]

Kate Bush is Dope!! I got her whole catalog on vynil collected since the 90s

[@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458]

the edits in this series are getting more advanced and creative! cool!

[@amoeba]

Thanks!

[@bellafallaaa9524]

i love and respect him deeply for saying he loves kate bush and michael jackson whoah

[@tovmusic]

He's got great taste

[@363Magi]

Man I wish they showed all the other records he sacked there. I like Big Boi's taste in music with Funkadalic, Off The Wall and shit.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Much more respect for him after this, love the way he talks about music here.

[@JaneDoe-tm2ex]

His impression of Terrence Howard aka baby wipes is spot on.🤣 Absolutely love Big Boi, he’s an underrated legend!!

[@amphitheatre]

big boi talking about kate bush and pfunk? i could watch a whole series of just that.

[@David_T]

Gotta love anyone pulling out a copy of "Maggot Brain". What a classic Rock and Funk album.

[@timinno]

Love hearing him talk about Kate Bush!

[@anthonychilds8193]

I knew this was gonna be great. And my expectation didn't even do it justice. Thanks, BB/Amoeba.

[@HINRG14]

I thought he was gonna pickup some Bjork. Kate Bush is amazing however.

Two Failure fans? Nice

[@atree88]

Magnified was my life for a while. Bernie will be my fave 90's tune alongside Greenlander by Pavement.

[@TheZooropaBaby]

wow so many Failure fans into one place I'm so happy now

[@remaininginlight]

I love that Big Boi loves Kate Bush. I heard this a few years back so it's great to see him wax lyrical about Kate here

[@Ernesto87]

I used to have Dangerous on cd back in the '90s. My dad would put that album on when I was little.

[@livingabstraction2206]

Can't blame Big Boi for buying his own album Sir Luscious Leftfoot it definitely is a classic so pissed off that it kind of got written off back in 2010.

[@sperrotta91]

It was critically acclaimed damn near across the board... it's not some obscure underappreciated record my dude...

[@SleepFan771]

Dope picks! Big Boi is a legend. Boomiverse is yet another great album from him.

[@aarleahuftontangaroa9895]

mn you just feel like 1000% more connected with the artist when you share very similar music tastes

[@ibaldosid]

The boi who started it all May very well be the biggest boi

[@robertwilliams4887]

Know I know where Redman got his idea for his album cover for the album" Dare is a dark side" he got it from that album by Funkadelic and the song called Magget Brains it's makes sense since he was always dropping sick bars over Funkadelic beats.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

Wow, I consider myself to have an eclectic music taste, but I never got heavily into Kate Bush (I didn't hate her -- just liked certain specific songs of hers while indifferent about the rest); however, I loved seeing Big Boi wax eargasmic about why he loves her music and performance.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

I feel ya about Maggot Brain, Big Boi!

[@christopherwall444]

Have watched many What's in Your Bag...this one is tops..I was riveted

[@MrYodeezy]

Good lookin out fa being around Amoeba!

[@mvellis3863]

If he loves Kate Bush, he's alright with me

[@seven3962]

Legend! I always loved that artwork on dangerous then grew up and learned mark Ryden did it

[@joejunior1974]

I love his picks.

[@henrym6411]

Love Big Boi! If only Outkast were still around!

[@Stbuster31]

HDM Reviews they are playa

[@mrembe9]

What q cool guy with wide music taste. So open minded. Loved his story about seeing weed bits on the album...reminds me of things I had seen growing up after my parents had a party lol.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Big Boi being a massive Kate Bush fan is one of the loveliest things on the planet.

[@joshb8976]

Yeah Cosmic Slop is one of my favorite funkadelic albums. America Eats it’s Young is number one. And the satellite groups they had are obviously amazing too. My second favorite is All the Woo in the world. It’s so dope that he got 2 funkadelic records. OutKast definitely has some funky tracks.

[@thewhoman3182]

One thing I notice when watching interviews is how strangely similar our music tastes our. Michael Jackson was one of my favourite musicians growing up as a kid I know all the words to off the wall by heart and Kate Bush is also one of my favourite artists. Weird.

[@Warp75]

Proper legend

[@VeegovonDOOM]

Lol at his Terence Howard voice

[@Sab_MJsMama]

nope.

[@ricksaunders]

Cover artist for MJ's Dangerous was the great Mark Ryden.

[@gilespeterson6832]

That transition at 3:42 was amazing!

[@SteveAustin_6M]

Big fan of OutKast excellent pics 👍

[@JohnSpawn1]

Kate Bush, (P-)Funk, Mj and even his own record (lol) are all not surprising choices to me. Still, awesome to see this "what's in the bag" episode. Would love to see one with his former Outkast collaborator, but doubt that that will ever happen...

[@mazinomer4231]

lol my man bought his own album, but it is dope as hell too be fair shutterbugg gets me mad nostalgic

[@deltahomicide9300]

I knew his picks were going to be very eclectic. He showed his cd collection in mtv cribs

[@coryway6951]

I really appreciate when artists come in and talk about music that isn't obvious. Big Boi likes Kate Bush, interesting!

[@StAlfongzo1]

Big Boi+Kate Bush+Eddie Hazel = blowing out Chakras! Dig it!

[@unj]

"Do you buy vinyl?" *please don't film me doing this*

[@unj]

WHERE DID IT GO!?

[@phildeiner7757]

Hot take: Big Boi is the real heart and soul of Outkast

[@winds8467]

Legend

[@llKoopav2ll]

i dont know his music, but he seems like a really intelligent guy

[@thekeepers15]

"A presentation of excellence " I might re-name my band that haha, on another note this was a really really good episode

[@gregmuscovalley3791]

when I first heard Outkast I was excited because I could hear how they were influenced by early p funk fly on

[@Raeofsunshinenicole]

Me me *insert name of the guy *

Oh me me big boi

[@MicroChipMonk]

Professor Big Boi... I got knowledged.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Love this. Not sure who this guy is but...Funkadelic, Kate Bush, Off the wall, George Clinton. Stone cold classics.

[@sirlordford]

Big Boi show and prove with the Funkadelic.

[@dolphinbuc]

Met him at my job. Chill guy!

[@psychedelicmusicgeneral1617]

Aye man all that shit he talking about.. ALL THIS SHIT ON MY PAGE AND MORE.. tri city high school stand up

[@jennyhotep1983]

I was hoping he was going to mention Kate Bush...was not disapointed. And Funkadelic is one of the best bands of all time.

[@philwestberry6755]

People in the comments saying how they are surprised he listens to Kate Bush, just remember that variety is the spice of life.

[@tripwang3998]

Kate Bush and Bob Marley are also on my top 10 list!

[@NotorV23]

that terrance howard impression was nice

[@fredexley5531]

Eddie Hazel is the guitarist on Maggot Brain- badass

[@greenonreed]

that´s why he´s Big Boi

[@mrpelon1000]
