Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty (2010)

whoever compared this to quik & kurupt is otm i was thinking the same thing

I gotta say, if "You Ain't No DJ" is any indication, Andre can still make awesome rappin'-ass rap beats when he wants to.

"Tangerine" is such a low-key banger imo

I can't help but feel like the Too Short cameo is totally squandered.

^^^so true

he says like 4 lines? wtf

yahhh

Yeah, those Big Boi lines are the perfect segue into a full Too Short verse, which I always feel robbed of when listening to the song.

wish it has more Bun and Pat too

someone did gucci lines in shine blockas? can someone help me?

they put Gucci in a cell
did my deal with the jail
I make music, I make movies
I need Tyler Perry's cell
--- smell coming out the lamb
fuck it what the hell
gucci man, so I'm gucci'd down
she got on chanel
------ blowing stupid kush
like I'm in a rush
in the club with a half a pound
hundred fifty blunts
zone 6 east atlanta
zone (don't fuck with me alone?)
so I shine like it's showtime
all my jewelry on
on the block with a stupid watch
boy you need to stop
when I stop everybody watch
car don't have a top
in a stretch, cost a stupid check
rolling up the pack
got 'em gone, I can't even flex
east side where you at?

IT'S GUCCI !!!

they put Gucci in a cell
did my deal, went to jail
I make music, I make movies
I need Tyler Perry's cell
loud smell coming out the lamb
fuck it what the hell
gucci man, so I'm gucci'd down

in the cut rolling stupid kush

the end of that hits so hard

thx j0rdan!! i love that tyler part; sounds like "i need a pair of carousels"

zone (don't fuck with me alone?)

can't exactly make this out though -- tbh it sounds like "fuck with meat alone" \(o_O)/

FYI: All the lyrics are in the booklet.

did my deal, went to jail

i always heard this as "then medea went to jail" lol w/ the tyler perry ref

yeah "shit i thought gucci mane said" could probably be a hot tumblr meme blog

on the block with a stupid watch
boy you need to stop
when I stop everybody watch

yeah i was just thinking this earlier as i read it

xp oh brother

Hi, boys. What'd I miss?

zone (don't fuck with me alone?)

not that it makes sense as far as i know, but I always heard it as "Zone 6, East Atlanta's own/fuck with Nia Long"

glad this album doesnt have any dre3000 cameos actually. not cos i think theyd be pooor, but cos without them it means big boi stands alone, without the album resting on the outkast factor.

weirdly tho i dont really think of big boi as an old man rap artist, not like bun b, ghostface, or whoever. especially not the way hes rapping on this album. plus he doesnt do the whole 'im so weary' shtick.

(as suggested above) he sounded much more weary as of speakerboxxx

Whiney's right, the rapping on that Em song is great, but the beat, guitar, Pink hook, lyrics and tone of voice are all really fucking terrible. Quite a feat!

Hope the Big Boi album comes out here this week, thread has me totally excited. Also has me wishing I hadn't lost my Cuban II CD in the meantime.

there's a lot of good stuff here but as an album begins to seem pretty arbitrary past maybe the halfway point - i think perhaps the true peril of an "old man" rap record isn't always so much solely in terms of outmoded styles as the lack or loss of a dialogue (between the songs, the context, the listener whatever) within that chosen metier? basically "good songs" aside i don't ever get the feeling anything is like, happening here, and that air of inconsequence lingering makes repping this record only seem like a reification of bias so much as anything

like i find it hard to accept people wanna put this up against quik and kurupt - maybe on a critical reception level, or just yeah generally on a old stager observation, but blaqkout is so much richer a record on so many levels it's crazy

oh i like the skits on this btw

motherfuckin henry

^^yes! if i am totally h w/ myself, that might be my favorite moment on the whole album

its not an 'album album', its more just a scattering of good-great songs. inevitably peters out mid/three 1/4s of the way through, but it can be edited down. quality never drops tremendously either, it just doesnt all hang that well together.

if i was being really picky, i could say the enthusiasm is a tad affected. like big boi is manufacturing that ebullience/'inspired' mode, but that might be reaching.

but its the rapping - the FLOW - that makes this album.

xxp i'm with you guys on the skits-- 1. they're funny 2. it's nice to get a couple seconds between tracks to process the song that just ended

off the top of my head, david blaine and the be still --> fo yo sorrows transition skit are prob my favorites

xxxxxxxxxxposts - de la soul have been dope in the past decade and don't deserve to be seen in the same league as the mess that is pe.

<3 Dre on the "Walk It Out" rmx

I walk it out like Usher
if you say 'real talk', I probly won't trust ya

always assumed the line was "walk it out like (an) usher," which I think makes a lot more sense. but then there are a lot of lines in that verse that are kind of irritatingly nonsensical or grammatically garbled, never thought it was one of his best remix appearances.

maybe someone tagged his Unk MP3 as Usher

"walk it out like (an) usher"

this barely makes sense too

i agree with rtc -- i think the quik & kurupt comparison for me was def not about level of quality but just the general all-over-the-place summertime vibe of it all -- obv quik is much more of a master of making that feel cohesive & effortless & most importantly, UNIQUE

inconsequential feels right

hey rtc have you heard the e-40 album?? im real curious abt your reaction i think its awesome

theres this kinda GTA-city feel about it where its taking me forever to feel like i really know all the songs on it

aight ima put it on after the football ('day shift' anyway, there's 2 of these things?)

i know u & whiney were on it already but i forgot another example of an gr8 old man rap album that didnt feel old last year was juvenile's - don't think i ever got round to mentioning how much i <3'd it

i feel like rtc has been otm itt

another otm statement is you dweebs should listen to some funky house instead of all this but ok nm here goes with this h20 alb

a bunch of us like funky house! i do wish i followed it more tho

i'm slowly making it thru all these ill blu mp3s that tim sent me, but it's a lot of ish!

haha at the expense of revealing my patented 15 minute album listening "technique" -

1/ arent all 40 albums like this anyway? boosting this now is reflected glory from general bay rennaissance (i hear) which this sound here doesnt really represent - all these stark sparse slappaz could still be 'tell me where to go'

2/ i really never liked 40 tbh, too much hyuk hyuk

3/ best track is 'this a boy', then 'rick ross horns' & 'everyday is a weekend', and then i'd have to listen to 'bitch' n 'dem boyz'

i will listen to this properly soon but im not in the mood as it turns out - am i wrong tho?
