Big Boi has shared his pick for the best song OutKast has ever made – and it’s not one of their [many] commercial hits.
Daddy Fat Sax appeared alongside Shaun White in a new episode of Complex‘s GOAT Talk published on Wednesday (December 11), where the unlikely duo ran through their picks for the greatest of all time in a variety of categories.
On the topic of GOAT OutKast song, Big had to go with “SpottieOttieDopaliscious” off their 1998 album, Aquemini.
“Because the horns,” he explained. “It’s just so enchanting. So when you get in the Cadillac, you turn that on and you ride around.”

He also shared his picks for the GOAT verse from both himself and André 3000.
‘There’s just so many of them,” he said of his own verses. “One of them gotta be ‘ATLiens.’ [I said], ‘I’m cooler than a polar bear’s toenails!’”
And as for 3 Stacks: “I’ma go with ‘B.O.B.’ The way he opened the song up was crazy and what he did, I had to push the envelope and follow suit.”
OutKast fans have their heart set on a reunion in 2028 upon rumors that the Super Bowl will be hosted in their hometown of Atlanta that year.

In October, the AJC reported that the NFL is expected to award Super Bowl LXII in 2028 to ATL. Once the news was shared by 2Cool2Blog, fans in the comments clamored for the legendary duo of André 3000 and Big Boi to take the stage, though there were a lot of votes for Future as well.
It’s worth noting, however, that the city the big game is hosted in rarely correlates with local talent, outside of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg in Los Angeles in 2022. This was made quite clear just last month when it was announced that Kendrick Lamar would headline Super Bowl LIX next year in New Orleans – despite an outcry for Lil Wayne to perform.
It’s also worth noting that it’s been years since OutKast got together, though 3 Stacks did recently say he’d like to do another album. Whether it will actually come to fruition remains to be seen.
In the extended version of his interview with CBS Mornings last December, Dre was asked about whether Big Boi has ever pushed him to get back together in the many years since their last effort.

While revealing his longtime partner-in-rhyme has let him do his own thing, he still acknowledged his desire to challenge himself with rapping once again.
“No, to be honest,” he said in response to the Big Boi question. “No but I think because he knows who I am and knows what gets me going, knows what inspires me, knows when I’m excited about something. So I think in that sense, he’s never pushed that issue. But I’m sure like, I want another OutKast album. Yeah, like in my mind – but see, that’s the thing. That’s the human side. I want an OutKast album a long time ago.”
He continued: “And honestly for me as an individual, it would be gratifying to me to put out a solo rap situation. But not for nobody else at this point. It’s for me because I actually like the challenge of, ‘How could I make this part of my life interesting and rhyme in words?’ You know what I mean? Like how can I do that? So yeah, it’s still a challenge. So I think hopefully with will and intent, something will happen.”
