Big Boi is guest-starring on Law and Order SVU tonight at 9:00 pm CT on NBC. In the first clip Ice T’s character grills Big about a female victim. To which he replies, “That’s my Freaky Friday bitch.”

Check out 3 clips and more photos from the episode below.

Gotty just threw up this clip of Big Boi and Killer Mike catching up with each other in Atlanta. You may recall that Killer Mike posted a video challenging Big Boi to a battle just 7 days ago. I guess Boi didn’t want any of that.

Seriously, it’s refreshing to see grown men being grown men every now and then. Sometimes you just have to let bygones be bygones and keep it moving.

You may now add Big Boi to the list of Obama’s radical associates.

Asked whether Obama should pick Hillary as his running mate, Big Boi gave this sexist, misogynistic, and politically incorrect answer: “I just think we need a whole fresh batch of lettuce for the salad.”

I have all the respect in the world for both artists, but this wasn’t necessary.

Michael Eric Dyson speaking to the New York Times about Big Boi’s upcoming hip-hop ballet showcase:

“My gut reaction is ‘bravo,’ ” said Michael Eric Dyson, a professor at Georgetown University and the author of, most recently, “Know What I Mean?,” a critical examination of hip-hop music. He said with a chuckle, “Even if it falls on its face.”

Professor Dyson, echoing several young Atlanta artists who weighed in on the project, sees in “big” an opportunity for hip-hop to re-examine some of its more self-destructive tendencies, including violence and “the blitzkrieg of misogyny that passes for commentary on gender.” If anyone could get hip-hop to open up, he said, it would be one of the adventurous stars of OutKast.

Dyson has a strong point. But is this really a good look for hip-hop?
