Denver — Big Boi, one half of the Grammy winning hip hop duo Outkast, is here for the Democratic National Convention.
Big Boi is anchoring a series of webisodes for Interactive One, an online platform for African-Americans. You can check out his interviews at the NewsOne.com site.
In a brief interview, Big Boi said he’s been going into different neighborhoods, talking to celebrities and public figures about the convention and Barack Obama.
As for his own thoughts, Big Boi said Denver this week is one big smorgasboard of the American experience.
“The convention is great, so many people out there, different colors and religions,” he said. “Everyone has a good spirit of it. (Obama) take it all the way, really. From the many supporters out here who back him and believe in his message — he’s a powerful speaker and he’s not the same old Washington.”
