Big Boi Wants Dungeon Family’s Cee Lo to Snag a Grammy

OutKast MC Big Boi has six Grammy awards on his mantle, so he's more than familiar with the award show. We caught up with the rapper to find out who he thinks will walk away with a golden gramophone. Big Boi might be a little biased considering Dungeon Family's own Cee Lo is up for a few awards.
