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

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.

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

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.

David Blaine skit is great and any friend you make a mixtape for will be better to have it

man maybe I need to listen more but I'm just not feeling it

and this from somebody who thought speakerboxxx >>>>>>>>>> the love below

like maybe I'll come around but it's one of those times when something everybody loves + should be right up my alley leaves me cold

Have to say I found it pretty lol I got an advert for big boi's kennel in the inlay.

This record is phenomenally good..for lack of a better word, it's just so 'musical'.

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)

I think the opposite, there's a bit of a dip for me between You Aint No DJ and Shine Blockas.

Back Up Plan is so so great.

david blaine-baiting haha

that classic lazy last resort of hip hop albums

the album lacks a third section that really concludes it satisfyingly. it kinda just soldiers on. not that the quality drops off, it just doesnt really add up to much beyond a selection of good stand alone tracks. im not sure im really going to listen to it as a whole - id rather just play daddy fat sax, turns me on, gen patton, and shine blockas (and the remix) over and over. do like you aint no dj and tangerine a lot but yelawolf kinda ruins aint no dj.

no hustle blood??

But it's got a backup plan a backup plan a backup plan a backup plan a backup plan a backup plan a backup plan a backup plan!

i mean, i think the album could do with editing but i dont know what id take off.

^^ amazing post

Doesn't seem to be much love for The Train Part II in this thread. I actually think it would make a better closer than Back Up Plan (which is still awesome).

do like you aint no dj and tangerine a lot but yelawolf kinda ruins aint no dj

No.

I think "Hustle Blood" is my favourite thing on this right now. The groove is so deliciously slow.

otm. crazy that it's produced by lil jon

ive kinda warmed to yelawolf (or been forced to since listening to you aint no dj, which has one of my fave beats on the album) but he is kind of a poor mans thirstin howl.

Have you heard his mixtape titch?

He comes across less gimmicky in a sustained hit (though he's less gimmicky-seeming here than on his first verse on Rich Boy's "Go Crazy" - the second verse more than makes up for it there)

i havent, but i know a lot of people were going crazy about it. ill try and search it out.

actually its not that hes a poor mans thirstin, more than he just reminds me a bit too much of him (and plus, i loved mr howl).
