Big Boi is as cool as they come, but that doesn't stop the slick-witted Outkast MC from losing his head over a buxom beauty in his new clip for "Shutterbugg," which hit the Internet Thursday (check out a preview here).

In the Chris Robinson-directed video, a headless Big Boi is seen from behind, seated and dancing on a stool, while his leading lady clutches his disembodied, but still-rapping noggin.

"Not to flex/ But to protect my neck/ Like the Wu-Tang," Big Boi raps over the funk-drenched bounce. "Self-preservation is the rule when you do aim."

"The video concept basically accents different lines with the song,"

Big Boi told MTV News earlier this month from the video's Atlanta set. "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."

In several scenes in the video, Big Boi can be seen rhyming on a mountain of sneakers, while an enormous pyramid of red disposable cups forms the backdrop. A group of musicians -- made up entirely of puppets -- serves as the Atlanta rapper's backing band.

After dropping a few teaser selections, including the Gucci Mane-assisted "Shine Blockas" and "Royal Flush," featuring Raekwon and Andre 3000, Big Boi is ready to move forward with his long-delayed LP via the Scott Storch-produced "Shutterbugg."

"It's basically a cut that's all about capturing the moment, whether it be your kid's first steps or you got a Polaroid and you with your lady somewhere," Big Boi said of his single. "It's about capturing the moment and getting them good times. When you look at certain photos, it takes you back to the moment, and that's what it's about. It's a funky, get-down, slap-your-sister-in-the-mouth jam."
