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

Hopping!

Had a couple of drinks and bad pizza.

sitting here browsing Tumblr and hoping the seltzer I put in the fridge a little while ago will be cold by the time I go back downstairs later

bad pizza 30 for 30 adding names to tomorrow's guest list i need more video games

watchin this good album thread die

I'm desperately hoping my allergy meds kick in so I can stop sniffling and get to sleep.

You need something bubblier than seltzer, markers -- like "Follow Us."

still need to buy this record tbh, but am checking this song out on YouTube now

I love you, whiney. Be my Dre.

"a couple" of drinks

well, this is too late, but here's an attempt at a sort-of answer?

take something like "rosa parks," which got a fair amount of attention (I assume, I wasn't plugged in to rap when it came out) - big boi's verse is very good, but it's sort of a standard good Big Boi verse, lots of braggadocio, but nothing that critics wouldn't have heard before. Andre's is a whole meditation on his current stardom and his fears of becoming stale and his disappointment with, yet understanding of those that do (btw this verse totally depresses me when I listen to it now). And this isn't really something you get all the time in hit rap songs. So obviously critics might focus on the member who's more prone to self-examination and is clearly fixed upon establishing himself as a unique artist, not a flash-in-the-pan (not to say Big Boi isn't, Andre just makes it more overt).

though i feel like if big boi hadn't been there, andre would have received a ton less critical attention, because one of the things about outkast was the ability to appeal to a massively varied audience, which gets simplified bridging the street vs intellectual divide, and since everyone loves binaries big boi and andre get to represent those two poles. and without the partner to contrast with maybe andre would get about the same level of critical attention as say MF Doom. but i could just be pulling things out of my ass here, i dunno.

I don't know "Crumblin' Erb" and "Elevators" already showed BB's ruminative side.

*I don't know:

i posted this on one of the other threads, but i'm really curious as to what the production dynamic was like between dre & big boi -- i didn't realize until recently that they did so many of their own beats, i've never really read much about what that was like between them

so we're all having a busy friday night too?

did what I've been doing every Friday when possible for as long as I can remember: watched ESPN's Friday Night Fights

multitasked with some gif posting & made a peach daiquiri with a really delicious fresh peach

i went out for dinner with my parents to this nice chinese place

now i'm watching baseball

aka every friday night

my gf is watching a movie i already saw and i'm trying to figure out if I should watch my own movie on Netflix streaming, go for a walk or just continue refreshing ilx

I went to the mall with my mom and my younger brother.

Then I watched the Eskimos not go 0-5 this season.

I'm actually probably going to go to bed now.

But I'm going to my girlfriend's cabin tomorrow morning, so that redeems tonight, right?

otm

ksh were you drinking seltzer straight or?

yeah, just the seltzer

"super chill" raspberry seltzer \(O_o)/

what markers doesn't realize is that underrated aerosmith albums i have loved is actually joe perry from aerosmith

throw some gin in that bitch

I pretty much never drink -- have made it to 23 without ever being drunk

markers make

have had, like, half a bottle of corona and maybe like a small amount of champagne once or twice in the past five years iirc

drinking is fun imo

thread turned into 'your boring friday night' pretty fast

for the record corona probably gave you a horrible idea of what beer tastes like

also j0rdan otm but getting woo omg trashed overrated

the corona was the worst

well getting woo omg trashed is kinda fun once in a while if you're with a lot of bros

yeah don't drink corona ever again

Getting trashed is awesome, it's recovering from getting trashed that blows.

or you could save your money and brain cells and do cool things with them

getting drunk is often less inexpensive and a better use of brain cells than going to an indie rock concert

i'm just sayin

i respect people who don't drink

the best thing someone's said to me when I told them I don't drink was something like "Are your parents alcoholics?"

this was someone I had just met

that's pretty legit tho

you think that's a valid thing to ask someone you just met?

I def respect them more than I respeect the people who correlate how much they had last night with how many drinks they had last night. xp

you think that's a valid thing to ask someone you just met?

ha, no not really

I didn't care & thought it was hilarious, but still

Corona is terrible.

I love beer, but I'm not a huge fan of getting trashed. Usually after like three or four pints I'm like, "Yeah, I'm good."

getting trashed is fun 3 or 4 times a year

mornings eventually grind you down tho
