However, Big Boi set the pace for Atlanta, and by proxy, the culture at large. If the genre of hip-hop ever gets its own “Rap Mount Rushmore,” a legacy as the region’s foremost wordsmith, funkiest gentleman, and resident ATLien certainly guarantees a place for the diamond selling artist, rapper, songwriter, record producer, actor, philanthropist born Antwan André Patton. Big made history as the preeminent spitter of the Dungeon Family and one-half of OutKast. The legendary duo sold 25 million albums and garnered seven GRAMMY® Awards, becoming the first and only hip-hop artist in history to win the GRAMMY® for “Album of the Year” upon release of their 2003 RIAA Diamond-certified Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Big Boi made his proper introduction as a solo artist in 2010 with Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. A modern classic, it captured #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and landed on Pitchfork’s “100 Best Albums of the Decade ‘So Far’.” Following a succession of high-profile album releases, Big Boi released his latest album Boomiverse in 2017. The smash single “All Night” sound tracked a high-profile Apple Animoji commercial, blew up radio, and clocked 40 million streams within a year. The song also hit Top 30 on the pop chart and Top 10 at Rhythmic.

Source: Theo Wargo / Getty Kylie Jenner Teases Baby Number 2 With Travis Scott It’s clear just how much Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott love their adorable baby girl Stormi. The little one just celebrated her first birthday and both parents were absolutely gushing over just how obsessed they are with their bundle of joy via Instagram pictures and long caption tributes. With how much these two stars seem to love being parents, it’s really no surprise the couple might already be thinking about having another baby already. Kylie posted a picture with her baby daddy on Saturday night, only hours before his performance at the Super Bowl halftime show is set to go down. The two are cuddle up on a staircase looking happy as ever, and to make matters even more lovey-dovey, the makeup mogul captioned the photo, “baby #2?” Almost immediately after Kylie posted the photo along with the cheeky caption, she responded to a comment asking if she was pregnant clarifying, “no, lol”–but that doesn’t necessarily mean the couple isn’t trying. Beside the obvious explanation that the “baby #2” caption could mean Jenner and Scott are in the mood for another one, Ky could also just be poking fun at the constant questions she gets about having another baby after only a year since Stormi’s birth. Just a couple weeks ago when Kylie announced she had something exciting to share with the world on Twitter, she got a boatload of questions about whether or not she was referring to being pregnant again. Noooo lol https://t.co/4TzxrU6eUk — Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) January 21, 2019 With how much Travis and Kylie love being parents, it wouldn’t be surprising to see another little rager pop up from them sometime in the future–but it looks like the bun isn’t in the oven quite yet.
Source: Kevork Djansezian/AMA2018 / Getty Gladys Knight’s Fans Aren’t Happy That She’s Agreeing To Perform At The Super Bowl According to TMZ , Gladys Knight is hoping her performance at the Super Bowl can “unite the country” and her fans are NOT happy. The legendary singer signed on to sing the National Anthem before kickoff during a time when many artists are distancing themselves as a sign of solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. “I understand that Mr. Kaepernick is protesting two things and they are police violence and injustice,” she said in a statement. “It is unfortunate that our National Anthem has been dragged into this debate when the distinctive senses of the National Anthem and fighting for justice should each stand alone.” Kaep notorious cause a huge media-storm when he took part in the silent protest of taking a knee during the anthem to put a spotlight on police violence against minorities, but was later black-balled from the league. “I am here today and on Sunday, Feb. 3 to give the Anthem back its voice, to stand for that historic choice of words, the way it unites us when we hear it and to free it from the same prejudices and struggles I have fought long and hard for all my life, from walking back hallways, from marching with our social leaders, from using my voice for good…I have been in the forefront of this battle longer than most of those voicing their opinions to win the right to sing our country’s Anthem on a stage as large as the Super Bowl LIII…No matter who chooses to deflect with this narrative and continue to mix these two in the same message, it is not so and cannot be made so by anyone speaking it…I pray that this National Anthem will bring us all together in a way never before witnessed and we can move forward and untangle these truths which mean so much to all of us.” Accompanying Knight are Travis Scott & Outkast’s Big Boi , both have also received heat for standing with the NFL to perform during half-time.

Source: Bob Levey/Getty Images/Paul Marotta/Getty Images / Getty Travis Scott Called Colin Kaepernick Before Accepting Super Bowl Travis Scott made sure h is decision to rock the Super Bowl stage regardless of what the culture was begging him to do was clear with Colin Kaepernick, according to his camp. A source close to Travis claims to Variety that the Houston rapper hopped on the phone with Kap at least once before he decided to confirm his booking with the NFL. Apparently, the two didn’t end up exactly seeing eye to eye, but they did come out of their convo(s) with mutual respect and understanding of each other’s viewpoint on the best way to make a statement. Travis feels that everyone can find their own way to take a stand and believes he can do just as much good taking the opportunity as he could refusing it. He also refused to confirm that he would perform until he secured the $500,000 donation from the NFL for Dream Corps. Hmm…what do you think? Did Travis make the right decision getting the NFL to donate to a charitable organization in exchange for his performance rather than refusing his services until they do right by players like Kaepernick?
