Big Boi Talks Fatherhood

The rapper's children help pick his music...

OutKast member Big Boi has recently said that being a father has had a major effect on the music he brings out. The rapper said that he draws inspiration from his children’s creative input.

He told PopEater: "Being a father has definitely played a big part in my music, especially when my kids started getting a little older, because they have a knack for music. They help me pick songs. I can tell you this, when we did Bombs Over Baghdad, my little boy went crazy and started breakdancing. I called Dre and say, 'Boy, we got to put this out. This is the one'. And it was."

"I reward them by letting them come jam with me in the studio. If they get the good grades, then they can come hang out with daddy."
