Big Boi on "Key and Peele" OutKast Sketch: "It Was Way Off, But It Was Funny as Hell"

In August, a “Key & Peele” sketch proposed why OutKast haven’t made a record since 2006′s Idlewild: because André 3000 is just too weird. When Pitchfork hopped on the phone with OutKast’s Big Boi to discuss his Big Grams collaboration with Phantogram, we asked him if he’d seen the sketch.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” he said. “I sent it to Dre, that shit was funny as hell. It was funny as hell ‘cause it was way off, but it was funny as hell.”

He continued:

 If anybody’s been following me on social media—if we’re not doing music then people think we’re not together—but we’ve been really hanging out with our kids this summer; we’ve been going paintballing, we’ve been going to golfing, we’ve been hanging out every week.

We had a real good summer. It’s been a real relaxing summer for the both of us but you know, we’ve really just been enjoying the brotherhood aside from the music. Since we’ve been doing that all our life, we’re just getting back to the friendship, you know?
