Throughout the show "Big" uses phrases such as "22's" and "Do work son!" These phrases have in turn become very popular.

After three seasons, Boykin left the reality shows in order to focus more on being a father when his long-time girlfriend became [[pregnant]]. |

"Big Black" was also featured in [[skateboarding]] [[video game]]s ''[[Skate (video game)|Skate]]'' and ''[[Skate 2]]'', along with Dyrdek. During the early days of ''Rob & Big'', they featured an episode of Rob and "Big Black" actually going to the [[Electronic Arts|EA]] building to shoot for the first of the two games. |

Boykin is a member of the [[hip hop]] group called The Chunky Boys. The group consists of four members: Big Black, Bam Bam, Zeus, and Steve OG.

Bam Bam and Big Black of The Chunky Boys are featured on Dyrdek's fictitious artist Bobby Light's song "Dirty Girl." It was recorded at home and a music video was created shortly after.
