Big Boi and JID Meet For Rolling Stone's Musicians on Musicians

- Atlanta's storied Stankonia Studios feel like the site of a family reunion as J.I.D walks in with a grin and daps up Big Boi with Stevie Wonder’s “As” spilling from the speakers. Both are soft-spoken, and you can barely hear what they say to each other as they exchange greetings. But it’s a safe guess that they’re taking a moment to show respect for each other’s approach to life and their shared craft.
Fifty years after hip-hop began in the Bronx, both of these Atlanta rappers have done their part to expand the definition of the genre. Start in 1994, when Big Boi and André 3000 created a bible for Southern hip-hop with Outkast’s Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, written in the basement studio they called the Dungeon and recorded right here. Or flash forward to last year, when J.I.D recorded parts of his most recent, and most personal, offering, The Forever Story, in these same studios. Big Boi helped establish that Atlanta can never be left out of the conversation, and J.I.D has helped maintain the standard he set.
With the cameras on and lights up, they settle into a languid Southern rhythm. Much like their rhymes, their conversation feels like a late-summer evening full of lightning - bright flashes that illuminate everything in sight, unpredictable yet direct. Big Boi, 48, cracks a joke that sends J.I.D, 33, into a fit of laughter. J.I.D fires something back that brings a large smile to Big Boi’s face.
Big Boi reminds us that this isn’t the first time Rolling Stone has asked him to take part in Musicians on Musicians - it’s just the first time he had someone in mind who he wanted to sit down with. This time, when the ask came in, he knew. He snaps his fingers as he recalls how he replied: “I told them, ‘Get me my dawg, man.’”

It’s a shame that the masses don’t know how big of a moment this is. This is top tier lyricism in this room. Two guys who really care about the art form.
mos def legendary moment
Ppl only wanna vibe not think I love both of these guys
ohhh i kno
It's really crazy. The generations of ATL excellence.
mos def pun. nice.@@suthurnfaze1
This felt super natural and organic. I know JID geeked out for this opportunity
Big Boi giving flowers to JID is something that needs to go viral for the culture. More Legends should be chopping it up with the new school they mess with. 10/10
Awe yah…but let’s be honest there needs to be more new school giving flowers to the OG’s other wise they don’t have a platform
@@lokeyyankSome of the OGs own the goddamn platforms. Diddy (😬), Jay, Dre.
WOW I don't think people understand how legendary this is for Hip-Hop! Salute 💐
How so?
@@eyevan7398this is basically a full circle moment. The fact that JID was 2 when Outkast dropped their debut now JID is dropping his own classic and now they’re getting together to discuss Hip-Hop history yeah this is history.
@@eyevan7398 how so?
You must be on the wrong channel
Tf you mean how so
@@jittredd2934Lol
@@jittredd2934 he ain't sending hate, he just trying to understand. no issues in that
JID GETTIN HIS FLOWERS
and from an ATL legend too, proud of him
I need J.I.D to start reading audio books, his voice is too smooth
He has his Venus very close to Mercury in Scorpio. It is known that that creates the best speaking,singing and rapping voices. Snoop Dogg has that too. Michael Jackson, Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke too as some examples
Cap
So beautiful to see JID get his flowers from a LEGEND. This was great.
Went to high school with JID brothers and sisters. So always root for him. And Big Boi is a beast on the mic. Two GA legends.
Always Route for him lol
@@Boogalyhu right lol
I love how JID is allowing himself to fan out. He should! Big Boi is hip hop royalty. It’s nice to see someone love OutKast as much as I do, and show respect where it’s due
Outkast best duo to ever do it. Period
Two generations of Atlanta greats!
I feel the same way big boi feel. I definitely don’t listen to like 95% of these rappers today. But, J.I.D is one of the special ones that I actually like.
JID took a different route unlike 95% newschool rapper today.Rolling Stone need to keep this going this what Hip Hop 50 looks like.
What a dope moment and interaction. OutKast reunion for DREAMVILLE Festival 2024!!
This makes my heart sing. This is essentially what J. Cole was attempting to do with Lil Pump years ago, but Pump was standoffish.
We DESPERATELY need the different eras of Hip Hop to come together. It's all Hip Hop at the end of the day.
The problem with the J Cole-Lil Pump meet up is that Pump was intimidated. Usually when someone knows that they are not on the other person’s level lyrically, they will try to fall back on “I got more money”. He couldn’t say that either. In the rap game, if you have enough of a gimmick, you can make a bunch of money off of kids at first but when the kids move on, you’re suck with being a broke rapper who doesn’t have skills to fall back on. Everyone in the industry has chewed you up and moved on and no one respects you. I can’t say that lol pump is broke right now because I don’t know where he is but his career seems to be over and it only lasted less than 2 years.
Big Boi is the diverse ATL legendary unc, love him.
JID is great, his flow is appreciated.
Every time I watch these the biggest thing I notice is, the work ethic is so different now to get to the top, compared to how it used to be.
HIV
Big Boi, a legend, giving JID who is a legend in the making his flowers is the ultimate praise.
Big Boi .. one of my favorite artist and like he said this young brother JID is a good new young artist!
jid - stars ft. yasiin bey
One of my favorites so far..
Interesting fact...if JID was about 4 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier, he would've been a first round draft pick at cornerback! Young fella played on a team that was stacked w talent that had players to win multiple national championships at UF and LSU and a Superbowl winner that never played a down in high school...the original stick up kid that turned his life around, Bruce Irvin. School was stacked w talent. Shout out Destin Route, aka JID
Stevenson was stacked back then!
Oh wow. Had no clue about his football background
Oh man i miss the Friday night lights at Stephenson
Who cares
this feels like uncle and nephew talk..
Bruh this dope as hell. Two of the best from the A. Dungeon Family ilumni Legendary Daddy Fat Sax and Dreamville's Golden Child JID. 💪
Dope af seeing JID with Saxxx 👑🙏🏿
We really happy for bro over here 🤙🏾
Facts, dope shit👑
New atl and old atl. Hometeam
It's dope hearing these Outkast Tales and seeing how it impacted younger talent. BEST ADVICE - Take your lane and run with it.
Good looks to Jid for some fire questions 💯
Rolling Stone! This is such a refreshing series and we (the culture) appreciate this type of segment to shine light the way it needs to in a world filled with darkness.
Two great lyricist giving each other their flowers. Dope to see.
Great interview!!
ATL legends!!!
Always have love for the Atl musical family!
Can I request a part 2...and 3? (seriously). This was too real, too comfortable, too genuine, a great conversation about originality
This is fucking amazing. I’d love to hear Big tell these stories, more.
Crazy Dopeness in one space & conversation!!! Legendary shizzz
This is one of them ones, this how 50 years of hip hop should look like
So happy to JID getting some love! He's so talented. This was epic!
Stellar

I knew Down Bad and Synthesizer but couldn’t get the the other two
The respect and admiration between these 2 is everything 🙏🏾 ✊🏾
DiCaprio 2 dropped on my birthday. Special day, snow storm made my school cancel so I had the entire day to just listen to the album
Special moment in history
I’m so happy for JID!
TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING!!!! Facts!! niggas dont talk about shit today smh. Great interview yall
I remember getting the Outkast Stankonia in 2000 & loving it thru an award, then going up north in 2003 and seeing people wearing Outkast clothes to school you guys rule
Living legend 💯💯💯💯
Glad they talked about Little Dragon but kinda wish JID asked him to go in detail about how Jai Paul got on “Higher Res” as well
The Dungeon Family is the greatest hands down,and you do know that he'll you talking bout💯
Full circle, legendary moment for real. Salute 🫡
You can tell JID comfortable as hell cause he’s talkin to a hometown legend. He get to be as southern as he wanna be cause big ain’t gone say “say that again?” Or “what did you say?”. It’s like movin to another state and gettin a job somewhere and somebody there is from where you’re from.
Next step, these two need to make some fire music together!
this is amazing
This was necessary!! Love this conversation.
I didn’t know I needed this. So 🔥
What a feeling this had to be for JID. Just choppin it up with a livin legend 🤯🤯
Little Dragon the truth 💯
Legend choppin it up with a future legend. Amazing hip hop moment!
I love Big Boi. I've been listening to Bombs Over Baghdad a lot the few weeks for some reason. It was clear Outkast was a genius collaboration as soon as they broke.
I also looove Little Dragon, so that's a great revelation that these guys have been working with them. Yukimi is one of the coolest vocalists out there.
this beautiful to watch mane 🌟🦋🖤
Legendary meetup ❤ thank you for this conversation.
JID and Big Boi!?!? Never in a million years 🤔🔥
2 legends
Two of my favorite artists!!!!
Both legends
Like Big Boi said…he loves MC’s that say something…JID does it…
I couldn't have been happier to see this one
Two of my fave rhyme spitters! Big Boi in my top 5 all time✌🏾💜
Very dope informative interview! 💪🏿💪🏿👊🏿
Great interview
This is super Dope to See, a Legendary Vet and an ascending Sargeant chopping it up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is monumental!!!
Thank you!
this is so fire
This is a dope series
I love this right here
OutKast getting turned down twice by LaFace is crazy, considering the artist that are getting signed today based off of their social media presence and what not
Well we're talking about a label that was strictly R&B plus rap was nowhere near as popular as it is now. But they came to their senses lol
I'm glad they did. Born and raised in NYC, when I 1st heard Outkast sonics and lyrics, it blew my mind. I've never heard anything like them, love them from 1st listen.
Fire conversation 😊
"..one of the best things i couldve ever expected because i didnt expect it"
This is actually insane to me, my favourite artist JID getting to meet one of the hardest atlantan spitters ever
JID is one of the few artists in music that excites me. To describe him I would quote Lil Wayne “Only down south nigga coulda been in the firm” Dough is What I got freestyle.
I couldn’t watch this on my phone. Flat screen time. This is almost like when Kendrick interviewed NWA.
i like this combination!!
sharing wisdom, thanks.
i love how you can really see how geeked JID is in this video, near uncontrollable excitement lol. so wholesome, such a great moment here
This is just cool to see
I love this. 🙌🏽🔥 And I really like that they both shouted out Little Dragon, they don't make bad music. All Love!! 💚🎉
7:03 - R.I.P To the Legend Rico Wade 🕊🕊
We need a song with these two!!!
This shit right here is so dope…OG and Youngsta…much love!
I can’t like this more than once is the only imperfection
Oh this is dope AF!!!🔥👌👌
2 of the best ever
This is my type of content!
My favourite song is in due time ❤
Love to see it
Perfect
This was a great interview. I throughly enjoyed it. Kudos to DELISA SHANNON for the article. #Outkast #BigBoi #JID #RollingStone #Stankonia
Getting props on Dance Now from Big Boi, fuck what a moment
I’m mad I’m just seeing this. This some dope shit
RESPECT🎉
Wow this is historic right here
Artistic Geniuses
Legend, Icon
🦂♏️
✨✨👑👑🖤🖤🌊🌊
ATL's finest! 🔥
legend meets future legend
Just imagine if Jid's sports career had worked out😩 Bruh we wouldn't have had this music
He underrated. He already did the Wayne collab, now he that Kendrick collab
HARD!!!
