Throwback Thursday is upon us again. After being made aware that the West and East Coast (respectfully) had made up the majority of these trips down memory lane, I decided to put the dirty south in the mix. Enter Andre 3000 & Big Boi, collectively known as Outkast. ...

If you haven't copped Big Boi's excellent 'Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors' album, then what are you waiting for? One of the LP's standout tracks is 'Lines,' which features A$AP Rocky and Phantogram. Big Boi released a live music video for the song, and it's awesome.

He might be an internationally known solo artist now, but OutKast's Big Boi is still an Atlanta native at heart -- and judging from his latest single, the hometown anthem 'In the A,' he still really likes big brass sections, too.
