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

yeah i like this, it's like bursting with energy, musical ideas, amazing rapping, perfect antidote to drake's narcolepsy

I like it but my favorites are the songs I'd already heard (Shine Blockas, Shutterbugg, General Patton, Fo Yo Sorrows). You Ain't No DJ is pretty great too and I like Hustle Blood a lot more than I usually like songs with R&B hooks.

Maybe the others will grow on me.

perfect antidote to drake's narcolepsy

^^^^^^^^^^^

i know they are last year songs but shine blockas and fo yo sorrows are my 2010 summer jams at this rate, f all y'all (dunno who this is aimed at, <3 y'all)

i write knockout songs
you write punchlines for money

:D

yeah the rhymes on this are great. this is how it's done folks.

only thing rong with this is the shoddy artwork. hope dre at least drew him a nudie lady for the disc

kinda sad how badly Dre dropped the ball and flamed out in comparison

diddy's thing at the BET awards was the only one that was even remotely good

yeah he slayed it. i even liked travis barker on it. there's some hot shit on 'fuck a mixtape' too imo.

really digging this jamie foxx cut

lol @ david blaine ref

Janelle Monae's equivalent in 2006

Got Purp? was 2005

I've had problems with both leaks I've tried to dl, so I'm giving up and waiting for the official release now. SO excited though.

glad to see such a great reception for this album. "shine blockas" has grown on me quite a bit. when i saw the video for it, i wasn't sure where he was going, but god did it ever sound great in my headphones.

still waiting for what nerd is gonna be the first to drop the "LOL CORNY INDIE ROCKERS WHY ARENT YOU LISTENING TO [X]" bomb like with Cuban Linx II

you would wait for such a thing

lol

took my by surprise so many times on 1st listen (follow us), still trying to get it all processed and clip lyrics. way out in front for the best thing i've heard this year though.

was stunned to find that Hustle Blood was Lil Jon production
nothing really bad on this album but the half assed skits; otherwise, it's top 10 material easy

half-assed skits... david blaine cracked me up for real, plus it only takes like 10 seconds, how it ougtta be done.

now this goes out to all my players in the back sippin yak, gettin around corners in the lack (?)

the odd reappearance of an old pharoah monch line: "queens is in the back sippin yak, yall wassup?"

Besides the skits, the into is also useless. It's funky but totally unnecessary.

on first listen this is better than speakerboxxx by a mile.

Speakboxx was pretty great, it was only The Love Below that dragged that album down.

S'boxxx is great, but it works best in context as a counterpart to The Love Below. This one has enough range to stand on its own.

i just realized "Royal Flush" isn't on this u_u

those crackers weren't playing fair at Jive

This is fantastic. tangerine, shine blockas, night night, the train pt. 2 are the ones that struck me the most on first listen. Great all the way through. I agree with this being better than speakerboxxx that was still awesome.

shine blockas is summer as fuck

"Back Up Plan" is real good

You know what it is about this album?

Big Boi sounds like he's having a fucking blast making this music...there's just such a sense of enthusiasm and fun.

It sort of points how how joyless and dead a lot of stuff feels today.

absolutely!

that's why i don't even hate the skits really, they are kinda dumb but more in just a silly, stoned "kickin' it w/yr bros" kinda way

"Speakboxx was pretty great, it was only The Love Below that dragged that album down."

just cos dre3000 gets so much love theres no need for people to overcompensate with the big boi praise.

but yeah the thing about this album is that big boi sounds really hype and energetic. dont think ive heard him like this in a long time.

the energy + enthusiasm on this album reminds me more of stankonia than speakerboxx/love below

yeah Speakerboxxx had a pretty bummer vibe under a lot of it

kind of a bloated vibe, a bit like wu tang forever.

but not as good.

Complaining about skits, really y'all?

dudes don't really do drive by shooting skits anymore, i could go for one of those

skits are kinda worthless these days, tbf

the skits make me smile. a lot of them are fun and really set the mood. tea time! c'mon. thats great stuff.

im pro skits on this album.

complaining about skits on an outkast album is kinda wtf

yeah Speakerboxxx had a pretty bummer vibe under a lot of it

I dug that, tho: "Unhappy" and "Reset" were among the best tracks on that album.

i dont think big boi does 'deep' lyrical content all that well. esp not on his own. which is why big boi doing a more 'serious' bummer vibe album doesnt work nearly as well as big boi doing a big brash thing like this new album.

i unfollowed big boi on twitter after one time where he retweeted about a 100 people who said they liked his new leaked song. i did a tweet like "ok @therealbigboi thats ott...unfollowed". just tried to follow him again and give him another chance but he has me blocked! lol

i can't wait to hear this album; i'm sure it's great and happy albums are awesome, but:

this is crazy talk. like jaymc said, "unhappy" gives the lie to all of that.

yeah I think he's got depth to spare - his range is pretty broad

he is maybe most enjoyable being impish & braggadocious tho
