Big Boi Covers Time Out Chicago
Big Boi is interviewed by Time Out Chicago for his appearance at this weekend's Pitchfork Music Festival 2010.
In the Time Out Chicago interview he talks a bit of business about the delay of his album Sir Lucious Left Foot:
What was the holdup? You switched labels from Jive to Def Jam this year.
"Yeah, that's the holdup. Bullsh*t. Ask the bullsh*t-ass record label I was on….My situation is that Jive Records didn't believe in my music. [The single] "Shutterbug" has been done for almost three years now…it was like, 'I don't hear any singles.' These are the same guys who told me to go in and make my own version of Lil Wayne's "Lollipop," which, by the way, I love. But how can you tell me to go in and copy somebody else?"
For them to doubt you seems rather insane. You've sold millions and millions of albums.
"Right. Yeah, but I'm just glad to be on Def Jam with L.A. Reid. He knows what's going on."
So L.A. Reid knows his stuff and Jive is an incompetent, d*ck blocking, ahole organization who passed on a record that debuted this week at #3. Hearing you loud and clear Big Boi!
