During the recording of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, Outkast's seminal 2003 double album, Big Boi and André 3000 were each holed up in different rooms in Atlanta's Stankonia Studios. "After 'Dre did "Hey Ya," I said, "We're not finna do nothing regular,'" Big Boi remembered during a recent visit to The FADER. "The Way You Move," the lead single from his Speakerboxxx side of the record, perfectly captured the Atlanta rapper's smooth delivery and became a timeless hit.<br /><br />As Big Boi explained, he had been sitting on the Carl Mo instrumental that would become his No. 1 single. "I knew the song was a hit when I first heard the bare-bones track," he said. "That's why I marinated on it for a couple years." In the video above, Big Boi recalls how the layers of the track came together, his vision for the video, and Fonzworth Bentley's memorable cameo.<br /><br />Boomiverse album out now!!! <br /><br />https://www.thefader.com/2017/07/11/big-boi-story-behind-the-way-you-move<br /><br />Subscribe now for more The FADER http://bit.ly/XPZVfG<br /><br />Read the FADER: http://www.thefader.com<br />Follow the FADER on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thefader<br />Like the FADER on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/11JaNSJ<br />Follow the FADER on Tumblr: http://bit.ly/xerObW<br />
