In this seasonal viral video, Atlanta rapper Big Boi reads The Grinch story.
This video is without a doubt part of Big Boi's promotional campaign to support his latest album Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumours. The veteran Atlanta rapper, who is also one half of the legendary Outkast, sits down with an oversized story book and put his southern, funky drawl on the classic Christmas story of The Grinch.
Before Big Boi reads The Grinch, he calls the director over to his chair and says, "I can't read." After a brief silence, both Big Boi and the director break out laughing. Luckily for rap fans and kids alike, Big Boi actually can read and does it quite well as he breaks down one of the season's most celebrated stories.
