We caught up with Big Boi again as he had finished filming for tomorrow night's "Wildlife" episode for NBC's Law & Order Special Victim's Unit. The versatile rapper/producer/actor took a few minutes to answer some questions for Blender (see him above scrutinizing our list, perhaps).

Without giving anything away can you tell us about your role on the upcoming episode of Law & Order? 

I play this musician “Gots Money” who’s part of an exotic animal smuggling ring, and I help SVU  to expose the corrupt animal smugglers who are trafficking illegal animals

Might you be appearing on L&O again in the future?

Hopefully more in the future, it was a positive experience and the cast was amazing.  I’d love to expand my type of roles even more to allow people to see me in different lights, so If its right fit I’d consider it.

What spots (restaurants/stores/etc) do you like to hit when you come up to New York (where Law & Order is shot)?

I’m southern, so anything that’s country fried in NYC I’m there, Virgil’s, Dinosaur BBQ, all of that!

How’s Sir Luscious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty coming along?

The record is basically done just doing some final tunings on the record since it drops top of next year, I’m just planning on giving everyone that  funk pop grime hip hop that everyone loves from Big Boi. Best believe that.

In September you freestyled about the Recession for Blender. Could you do a quick one about the election of Obama?

If you check out my song “Something’s Gotta Give” Mary J has an amazing line where she goes “I know you feel my pain, and the only hope I have that help me deal with the drama, is that maybe in November I'll be cheering for Obama.”

Blender spoke with Big Boi yesterday, who’s fresh off the recording of his new album Sir Luscious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty, due out as early as November. During a casual conversation, he let on that the current economic crisis has only inspired him to speak his mind. In fact, he confirmed that he’s already working on material for a new OutKast record with Andre 3000.
 
“I’m cranking out some things for OutKast so when Dre’s ready to go with that, we’ll have ideas,” he said. “I’m putting out my solo record. He’ll put out his, and then we’ll put out another OutKast record.” That’s <em>one</em> record. As a team.
 
And then, just for grins, we challenged him to drop some freestyle on current events, a rhyme that incorporated the name of embattled Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Yo, Johnny Mac, this is how you do it: 
 
I guess Ben Bernake, he’s been kind of slacking
Cuz people are not getting gas right now and they’re acting
Kind of crazy
They go to the pumps and the cashiers are lazy
They can’t get gas and then they say maybe …
Maybe I’ll might just go up and stick up a gas truck
Put something in his mouth and then make him get his ass up
Out the truck
Then I drop off loads of gas to every neighborhood
My name is the B.I.G., the B.O.I. I do all good
And sometimes I do all great
Cuz it’s never too late
You got to speak out and you gotta let you voice be heard
If not, you won’t be able to put gas in your Thunderbird, ya hear?
