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

did not realize lil jon produced "hustle blood" until just now. crazy.

yelawolf's flow on that track is kinda weird and threw me off at first but clicked on successive listens

i don't get why ppl are so amazed that lil jon did "hustle blood". he's been doing shit that sounds like that forever.

^^^yeah doesn't strike me as an unusual production for him either

xpost

yeah, I'm not ruling the dude out. hopefully the same thing happens for me.

just a little bit of a bummer since it's easily one of my fave beats on the album.

can't say I've followed lil jon closely but I haven't heard anything that delicate from him that I can recall

yeah it is a weird flow, kinda breaks up the momentum of the track, but i kinda dig it

i'm not sure if i like it, but it seems pretty ballsy to leave that much space in a verse on a big boi track, when he just eats up those 16th notes (although i guess that's what andre 3k does to some extent, he's just way better at it)

it hasn't really clicked w/ me either. my reaction was basically that he'd blown a big opportunity; but then i figured big boi must hear something in it that i don't.

just to add to the chorus, this is really really really good

I kind of think yelawolf just didn't wanna outshine big boi on his own track

Like T.I. did

well that's one theory

love yellawolf's choppy flow on "you ain't no DJ", esp. relative to big boi's density & speed. it's only the first verse that's so off-kilter anyway.

current favorite = "hustle blood", unlikely to be unseated. and i guess most people aren't gonna come around on "follow us" [sad]

point me at other Lil Jon songs that sound like Hustle Blood plz

if that "follow us" chorus is successful at anything it's for getting stuck in my head for over a fucking week now

xpost, it's a great chorus. I've said like a million times I love "Follow Us" but just can't stand the "bros icing bros" tone of dude's voice. it would be like my fave song on the album for me if they got like Cee-Lo or someone to sing it. I still play it all the time.

i agree with that

thing is, i hate that style/tone/type of music, too, but it works for me in context. and i guess, sure, if someone i actually liked were delivering the chorus in a style i don't ordinarily have problems with, i might like it more...but it's hard to say. love it as it is, cringe factor included.

i'm kinda noncommittal on it, but BOI does it ever sound like the next single after shutterbugg

I don't think we've discussed how MASSIVE "Shutterbug" sounds in the car, on the radio, especially the intro: the drum program, stuttering bullfrogs, two-note synth hook. I mean -- WOW.

still dont like yelawolf

^yeah me either. Only truly weak link on the album for me, and not to be a 3 Stacks hater, but the beat on that is maybe the weakest on the album

i think the only one i don't really like is the jamie foxx song

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

also the ad for antwan's pit bull kennel in the cd booklet is pretty o_0

it would be totally amazing if Big Boi travelled back in time and retroactively inserted an ad for his pit bull business into the Speakerboxxx/Love Below booklet

WAIT WHAT HOLY SHIIIIT

i'm pretty sure that shit like that has been inside rap albums forever?

::shrug:: not the ones i have (nb i don't have speakerboxx/tlb)

get some Public Enemy or Ice Cube albums, buy a Rapp Gear bomber jacket or Lench Mob hat

shutterbugg still reminds me of

Yeah I see it, but Shutterbugg itself is way better come on.

the bubble bunch is dope wtf

i don't think that was a criticism

yeah wtf is wrong with you deej

the "bros icing bros" tone of dude's voice.

Explain?

i don't think that counts as explaining

dude looks and sings like a fratboy with a badfish tattoo, what else do you want from me?

1st picture explains that but i don't get the smirnoff ice one! smirnoff ice = drunk student union nights. gross.

I don't get how someone's voice can resemble the "sound" of the Bros Icing Bros website.

sigh

Sorry, that sounded a bit Tuomas, didn't it?

Nevermind.

The idea that the Vonnegut chorus is remotely out of place on a album where one of the track begins with fucking grunge guitar is ridiculous. If he actually sounded like one of the dudes from Wheatus or Blink 182 I'd understand but it's a pretty nondescript voice. If it was a sample or just some session musician guy no one would bat an eyelid.

I mean I know Whiney is bending over backwards not to look like a corny indie fuck here but there's such a thing as trying too hard.

the guitar gets buried by hard beats pretty quickly though, and that chorus is unavoidable

If it was a sample or just some session musician guy no one would bat an eyelid.

as far as i knew it was just some session musician guy, it still sticks out as being all radio rock (compared to every other singer on the record)

too be fair, i'll still take a Vonnneggutt chorus over the roots fucking with blog-rock any day

yeah when i heard it i had zero idea it was some dude from vonegutt and i still don't really know who vonegutt is.

it sounds like bad active rock radio type singing which i imagine is exactly what vonegutt is.

yeah, no one is purporting to know/care who vonnegutt is.

i'm pretty sure they're big boi's fuzzbubble or spymob
