New Video: Big Boi and Gucci Mane, "Shine Blockas"


What do you do if you record a great duet with a big rising star in your field, but he has to go to jail before filming a video for it? Well, if you're cooler than a penguin's toenails, like Outkast's Big Boi, you head to Walmart to pick up some new socks, set the cameras rolling, and lip-synch your partner's parts for him. And give a little "Free Gucci" shout-out at the end.

God. Along with earlier advance tracks "Royal Flush" and "Something's Gotta Give," "Shine Blockas" has me downright giddy about the prospects for Big Boi's long-delayed but soon-upcoming solo album, Sir Luscious Leftfoot. He's the best. Wait. Do penguins even have toenails? Oh. Sure they do. Talons, I guess you'd call them, but still.

    1. Yes, yes, billion times yes. Can't wait for the album.

    2. This video made me homesick! Somehow.
