Big Boi is swimming in women in the risqué video for “She Said OK” featuring Theophilus London. The OutKast member can’t wipe the smile off his face as he lounges around in a house full of honeys.

“The song has a lot of expletive lyrics to it that portray the male in a domineering light,” said director Alexi Papalexopoulos. “In this video, I thought it would be cool to juxtapose that ideology by having the female in a domineering role and our rappers, our men, in a submissive role.”

Big Boi’s sophomore album Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors is due November 13.

Big Boi flipped the script while shooting the video for “She Said OK” with Theophilus London. The OutKast member rolled up in a Rolls-Royce to the set in Atlanta, staying fresh in his designer wardrobe.

“The song has a lot of expletive lyrics to it that portray the male in a domineering light,” said director Alexi Papalexopoulos. “In this video, I thought it would be cool to juxtapose that ideology by having the female in a domineering role and our rappers, our men, in a submissive role.”

The rappers played pool and smoked cigars, but this is not your typical rap video. “It’s a real artsy video, so this ain’t the typical bikinis and girls everywhere,” said Big, while Theophilous added, “The song is very explicit, so we gon’ keep the video toned down. We gon’ be gentlemen.”

Big K.R.I.T. brushed with Southern royalty on Big Boi’s new single “Gossip” featuring the legendary UGK. Just moments before the record premiered on Wednesday, Rap-Up TV sat down with the Mississippi rapper-producer to talk about his featured spot.

“I feel blessed to be a part of Big Boi’s first single,” said K.R.I.T., who asked the OutKast MC to email him the instrumental first because he was worried that the track would get into the wrong hands.

In addition to “Gossip,” he is cooking up more music for Big Boi’s sophomore album Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. “I got two or three records I’ve made that I’m definitely sending to Big Boi,” shared K.R.I.T. “I really feel like I could create something that he’d love and that he’d want to use.”

The “I Got This” hitmaker can also be heard on Juicy J’s new song “Knock U Out,” which he produced.
