	Big Boi - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		Big Boi (born Antwan André Patton on February 1, 1975 in Savannah, Georgia) is an African American hip hop artist and producer; one half of the successful and avant-garde hip-hop duo OutKast.
		Big Boi was born and spent the first half of his childhood in Savannah before moving to Georgia's capital of Atlanta.
		Big Boi is also the more direct member of the team, and has often used his lyrics to criticize the problems that plague both the African American community and the world.

	Big Boi raises bar for hip-hop shows
		With only a handful of shows behind him, Big Boi tore through an hourlong set of tracks from "Speakerboxxx" (including a frenetic "Ghettomusick" and bounding "The Rooster") and a menu of OutKast classics in a sweaty, briskly paced set whose bells and whistles coolly defied the expectations for the average hip-hop show.
		Big Boi packed the stage with OutKast's oft-employed four-piece Horns Unlimited, two backup singers, two additional MCs in Konkrete and Killer Mike, two guitarists and four dancers.
		In an efficient hour, Big Boi effectively married his past and present, and left fans with a promise of a still wide-open future.

	Weekend: Big Boi makes a splash
		Half of the critically praised hip-hop duo OutKast, Big Boi, with his partner Andre 3000, was responsible for the much-ballyhooed Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, Grammy winner for album of the year.
		Yet, Big Boi's style - both musically and personally - is less flashy and eccentric than that of his partner, who often sports platinum Elvis wigs, cowboy chaps and space-age costumes.
		Big Boi acts as the stable yin to Dre's crazy yang - or for those of you not up on your Eastern philosophy: The two complement each other like peanut butter and jelly.

	Big Boi: Advice given for magical performance \| AccessAtlanta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		BIG BOI HAS BEEN REHEARSING in Atlanta this week for his Music Midtown appearance Saturday night, his first trip to the festival since 1999, when he performed with his partner, Andre Benjamin, as OutKast.
		The duo — rapper Antwan Patton (Big Boi) and his flamboyant, fashionably fast-forward, sometime partner Dre, of "Hey Ya!" fame — is riding higher than ever.
		Big Boi is left to carry the musical torch as a solo act for now, as he balances a full life — business meetings, time with his kids, appointments galore — with the rehearsals, which were closed to the press.

	On new album, Andre 3000 and Big Boi get sexy and crunktastic, respectively (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Like any pair with divergent interests, Dre and Big Boi are not always on the same page, but that is what gives their music the layers of inventiveness and complexity that set it apart from the crowd.
		Big Boi’s Speakerboxxx is the disc that more closely resembles previous OutKast material and the one toward which longtime fans of the group might first gravitate.
		Whereas Big Boi has chosen to cultivate his gangsta with a heart of gold image on his disc, Andre 3000 fully indulges his bohemian style on his half of the album, hearkening back to Lovesexy-era Prince, and perhaps coitus-crazed Al Green.

		Big Boi’s performance was further proof of why Andre 3000 is the steam behind the Outkast engine.
		Big Boi totally ignored that as if he was the last act, and I can tell you as an artist that it is hard to be the last act and follow up garbage.
		Big Boi had 45 minutes allotted for his set which included performances from Killer Mike, Sleepy Brown, Koncrete, and Scar as most of his sets have.
