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

mega xposts but re: dre not producing anything of meaning, I hesitate to bring it up but the 2007 Class of 3000 soundtrack had a few standout tracks

Andre just went off and did his own thing; hollywood called him back and he answered so good on him.

this record is going to explode my brain when everyone makes me want to hate it by saying stupid things about it on ilx

it is mostly fun, if occasionally a lil weird here& there

I suspect i'm gonna feel this way but for now "You Ain't No DJ" is brill. Also I love the parts of "General Patton" when the stop-watch hi-hats get replaced by a single ominous tic on the offbeat.

i'm a bit late on this but goddamn it is great

Only on ILX can you be late before the album comes out.

ahhh, night night is so awesome.

am i the only one that kinda digs the chorus on "follow us"

Follow us would be preety amazing if they didn't have the surfrider foundation baby-are-you-a-badfish-too allstars singing on it

yeah i know everyone hates it!

i really like the chorus, i just wish like someone but TOMUZ PYNCHIN or whatever their retarded name is was singing it

do you guys think janelle monae was like "hey mom, i'm on the big boi album!" and queued up the track only to be greeted by "when was the last time you went teabagging?"

am i the only one that kinda digs the chorus on "follow us"

*raises hand cautiously*...

It's actually one of the first things I can't wait to hear when I put on the album.

as sung by the dong beach dub allstars

What's wrong with the Follow Us chorus exactly? There are worse choruses on this record...

lol

Nothing is wrong with the chorus itself, its just that it pops in like someone changed the channel to some terrible Can't Hardly Wait soundtrack Wheatus fratboy booger-and-beer Long Beach chillin in my sandals bro bro bro band

i'm listening to this for the very first time right now

As someone who until 30 seconds ago had no idea who Vonnegut were, it doesn't really stick out like a sore thumb at all. I just assumed it was some bunch of session musicians they bought in.

FOLLA US NAAAAAHHHH BRAAAAHHHHH

fuck is this jay-z kid cudi bullshit!!!

Maybe you should stop listening to Jay and Cudi, and actually put on the Big Boi record instead?

Bought this today. You Ain't No DJ produced by Dre3k :DDDDDDDD Maybe he still has it?

i don't get the complaint that this album drops off - its strongest run is definitely the middle section! "shutterbugg" through to "be still" (i love the start and end too, but that's the peak bit for me)

it also definitely feels like a coherent album to me, not just a hotchpotch, though maybe this is cuz i hadn't really been anticipating it all these years as i basically lost all interest in outkast sometime around 2004, so the quality of "shutterbugg" and "fo yo sorrows" blindsided me a bit.

xp someone should prob tell that guy that Nelly is not southern.

haha waht

Cherry Ghost are masters of the manly ballad.

"Nelly's winning way with a one-liner..."

HAHAHAHAHA.

I thought Nelly was from St. Louis...? That's the south.

Ban swvl

this clearly comes from a british paper, iirc

uh, as i recall Nelly generally repped the midwest.

can we just agree to LOL at "Andrew 3000"?

what a dumbfuck

haha flobots

Also, yes, you're the only one who likes that Vonnegut chorus, J0rdan. I refuse to believe more than one person does, and even that claim I'm pretty skeptical of.

I've never paid any attention to Nelly, don't mind me

what a dumbfuck

Well now it all makes sense. A writer who counts Glasvegas and Dido as his top two albums of 2008, as well as Death Cab's "I Will Possess Your Heart" as the best song of that year. Happy to disagree with this idiot regarding Mr. "Patten" and his new solo album without "Andrew 3000" as his George Michael. Go to hell.

ppl who begin with the premise that andre is better can blow me

I mean, I'm all for a rational, well-reasoned two star review of the Big Boi album. But this guy's a fucking tool.

its like england doesn't even have wikipedia

lookin for ya is a bit dissapointing as a dre-big hookup. not sure about the other bonus tracks floating around. :|

apart from royal flush obv but i heard that ages back.

3000 verses on devins "what a job" and "intl players anthem" get him a decade long pass

this album bangs so hard ... tangerine getting rewound about ten times this evening ... BOI STOP!

might not sleep tonight as i have "igotabackupplantothebackupplantobackupmybackupplan" rotating continuously inside my head voice

I can see some dude polling this album in December or January and almost every song will garner at least one vote.

Really wish the skits were on separate CD tracks. I'd like to put "General Patton" on a mix, for example, but I'd hate to burden friends with the David Blaine skit at the end...

Fairly simple editing job i would have thought

yep

Anyway...apparently Big Boi is already working on the follow-up to this and it's gonna be called Daddy Fat Sax: Soul Funk Crusader.
