"Shutterbugg" is the debut solo single by American rapper Big Boi. It is the first single released in promotion of his debut solo album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. The song features singer Cutty on the song's chorus. The song was co-produced by Scott Storch and Big Boi himself. "Shutterbugg" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2011.[2] Rolling Stone named it the fourteenth best single of 2010 in its year-end list.[3] PopMatters ranked it number seven on its year-end best songs list.[4] It is also featured on the NBA 2K11 soundtrack.
Music video
The video for "Shutterbugg" premiered on 28 May 2010 via Big Boi's Vevo site.[5] It was directed by Chris Robinson and premiered on May 26, 2010.[6] The video's concept incorporates various scenes that accentuate different lines from Big Boi's lyrics.[7] On its concept, Big Boi said in an interview for MTV, "It goes with the rhymes. Chris Robinson was definitely onboard [with the concept]. What he took from the song was a lyrical, visual adventure. There's a lot of special stuff going on. He's freaking the visuals like I'm freaking the rhymes".[7] Scenes in the music video include Big Boi rapping on a mountain of sneakers, a wall of red disposable cups and four kegs forming a backdrop, a group of puppets serving as a backing band, and a "buxom beauty" holding the disembodied head of Big Boi in the crook of her arm.[7][8] Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly wrote that the video "boasts appropriately nutty imagery to go with the song’s wild sound".[8]
