Mr.Daddy Fat Sacks explains why he went the animated route “It was a cool way to have myself, Pimp C, and Gucci Mane all together,” Big Boi told Yahoo! Music. “I mean with Pimp C (R.I.P.) not being here, it was just a cool fun way to showcase all of us together and imagine what it would look like.”
