  • Big Boi Speaks on “Sir Lucious” Follow Up…

    Dec, 28 2010 | Written by ATLien

    My boo Antwan “Big Boi” Patton performed at the Tanqueray and BroBible sponsored Winter Elixir Concert in New York last week.

    The majority of the audience was said to be made up of geeky college students who looked like college freshmen back for Christmas break. That didn’t phase Sir Lucious one bit. Big hit the stage with some oldies, while enticing the crowd with a little harmless banter about getting f*cked up:

    ?If you got 21 grams on you, make some noise!.? Big Boi and the hypeman yelled at one point, to moderate cheers. They followed up with the same request, first with ?21 lines of cocaine? and then ?21 pills of ecstasy? swapped in ? and the crowd goes wild.

    ?I don’t condone drug use… but if you do get high, get high to this.? Then the D.J. dropped epic Sir Lucious Left Foot cut ?Fo Yo Sorrows,? and we took note of Big’s fantastic song-introduction skills. (source).

    In case you’re wondering, Big says he has two solo albums remaining at Def Jam, and touches on his upcoming Funk-driven follow-up:

    “It’s going real good. I?m like five, six songs into it. It?s only gonna be like 10 songs; I?m going back to the old school way of puttin? albums together.

    Hopefully I can be done with it in the next seven or eight months – I?m waitin? on Dre to finish his record, then we can start plannin? on some mo? thangs.”

    You betta get on it doggone it!

    The Train Pt. 2 (Sir Lucious Left Foot Saves the Day) ~ Big Boi [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

    Dec, 6 2010 | Written by ATLien

    My boo Antwan “Big Boi” Patton takes us back to 2008 in his new video for “The Train Pt. 2 (Sir Lucious Leftfoot Saves the Day)”.

    It was back in April 2008, that Big did a special performance with the Atlanta Ballet and he compiles clips from his experience. Twan is followed by camera from rehearsals to the final performance.

    Janelle Monae and Sleepy Brown make cameos in this clip, as well as several of Big’s close Dungeon Family members.

    The song is from Big Boi’s first solo album “Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty” which has been in stores since July this year. The track features Sam Chris.

    Big Boi & Keri Hilson ?Get Schooled? [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Oct, 22 2010 | Written by ATLien

    My boo Antwan “Big Boi” Patton joined Keri Hilson in Chicago yesterday (October 21) for the launch of the “Get Schooled” campaign.

    Keri? and Big stressed the importance of education to students at Chicago?s Collins Academy High School during Thursday?s Get Schooled National Challenge and Tour.

    [Sidebar: Somebody needs to tell Keri to back up off my man! *Whooo-sah!*]

    Big Boi told the crowd how he planned on pursuing his education before OutKast blew up.

    ?Before I started doing music, I was actually planning on going to school to study child psychology, but when I was in eleventh grade we went platinum. I still finished and graduated with honors.

    Miss Keri, adorned with her now signature “No Boys Allowed” necklace, hit the stage to perform ?Knock You Down? and offered some key advice to the youth.

    ?I think the key to making it through high school and life in general is knowing what?s important, attacking that, and executing everything,? said Keri, a former co-captain of her high school basketball team.

    More photos + video of Big & Keri spitting knowledge during “Get Schooled” below… (also peep Keri’s “Knock You Down” performance): Continue Reading…

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
