Description

Big Boi has no shortage of friends, so it's only right that on his new solo album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, the Big Boi is joined by a slew of guests. On the production side, Scott Storch (who helmed "Shutterbug"), Salaam Remi (Nas, Fugees), Organize Noise, the rapper's own Boom Boom Room producers and Boi-1da (perhaps best known for his work on Drake's "Best I Ever Had") contribute to the set.

Patiently Waited 4 This Album ... YAY! Jul 07, 2010 By S. Moultrie "Musical Diva"
Let me start by saying ... I LOVE Hip Hop/Rap and it is one of my first loves. I've been a fan of Outkast since the beginning with Southernplayalisticadillacmusic. Outkast has always set the trends and this album does not disappoint! The Speakerboxx is light years away from this CD ... you will NEVER stop playing this CD. It drips with Southern flavor, 808 bass checks, super-fantastic music - Big Boi represented well for his half of the OutKast group.

Big Boi starts out with one of the HARDEST intros I've heard in "ever"! LoL Then leads into some lighter songs in my opinion Daddy Fat Sax, Turn Me On.

Favorite Songs that make the CD top notch to me:

Follow Us - Just funky
Shutterbug is a feel good song that makes you want to groove. The lyrics are very creative.
Tangerine - T.I. and Kudjoe did their thing big time and the drums remind me of the track Bubba Talk by Bubbaa Sparxxx
You Ain't No DJ - Good battle rap song
Hustle Blood - Hot song and Jamie Foxx sounds so good
Fo Yo Sorrows - This is the chill song ... drink or smoke something
Theme Song - Puts you in the mind of the old OutKast
Shine Blockas remix - Different parts of the south represented ... Bun B., Project Pat, Gucci Mane, and Big Boi hold it down on this song.

General Patton is so ATLiens taking this CD to another level with this track. You gotta respect it.

Bottom Line - If you are looking for Andre3000, any representation of the new style of rap, a lot of features, no 808, you will disappointed. I would have given this CD 4.5 stars, but since I cannot, it is closer to 5 stars, then 4. Compared to what is out there in the Hip Hop /Rap world, this CD gave us some really, really good tunes without attempting to being a gangster, rapping about "ice", buying out the bar, and all the frivolities that most rappers rap about. Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is for grown folks, 25 and over. The rap game has become so watered down, to hear this CD is a breath of fresh air.

Outstanding Achievement!!! Jul 06, 2010 By Enlightened "Both Eyes Closed, see what u don't hear what u can't"
Big Boi, one half of the legendary OutKast, has finally delivered his much anticipated and hyped solo album Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty. While being the less celebrated member of OutKast, it's clear that Big Boi is/was as much a part of their success as Andre 3000. He is equally as talented lyrically (although less poetic) as his partner in rhyme and just as creative.

This album has been brewing in the crock-pot for at least two years and with a switch to the Mighty Def Jam roster and a reunion with the man that originally put OutKast out, L.A. Reid, Big Boi does not disappoint in any sense of the word. Sir Luscious exceeds all expectations with his creative rhymes, eclectic beat selection and all around stankness.

Everything we have come to expect from OutKast is delivered on this album. The Dungeon Family makes a strong appearance on this album with Organized Noize & Mr. DJ contributing a few production pieces. Sleepy Brown and singer Joi (where has she been? We need her new album yesterday!) reappear to provide the soul and funkiness on a couple songs. Big Rube (again where has he been?) lends his poems to enhance a few songs and George Clinton gives the same futuristic presence that he provided on Synthesizer from OutKast's Aquemini.

Some soon to be great artists also appear on the album. Janelle Monae (Archandroid) returns the Tightrope favor on Be Still and B.O.B. (Adventures of Bobby Ray) effectively improves Night Night. Other appearances include T.I., Jamie Foxx, Yelawolf, Vonnegutt and Gucci Mane.

Big Boi delivers lyrically on this album showing he can hold his own. However, he did record a few songs with Andre 3000 that did not appear on the album because of label disputes. Royal Flush was released a while back with Raekwon and is an excellent track to seek out. The more recent collaboration is Lookin For Ya also featuring Sleepy Brown. That's another great track that was left off. No these omissions don't take away from Sir Luscious, however you just wish they were (officially) included.

Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is an instant classic and is an early contender for album of the year (along with Eminem's Recovery and a few other albums). The lyrics are crazy, the production is lively and quite simply amazing, and the guest spots only enhance songs while never overcrowding them. The album flows quite well and there's not a song on the album that is skip worthy. All fans of hip hop should go out and support this album. The lyrics are included in the book as well which is always a welcome addition. 5 stars.

*grab the deluxe edition that includes a bonus DVD and two extra tracks! Also track down Something's Gotta Give ft. Mary J. Blige. It was released in 2008 but still is a good addition to the end of the album as well as those Andre 3000 tracks listed above.*

Big Still Got It!!! Follow Him!!! Jul 06, 2010 By DanMar
Big Boi & Andre 3000 just don't fall off! They are the most consistent artists of our generation. No lie! Everyone should hear it. How this isn't getting more play on the radio is beyond me. There are about 7 bonafide radio hits on it. Not to say that the other songs aren't jammin too. Finally someone is making interesting music. It was looking as though the year was gonna be a musical wash. We need more of this and less of the crap they play on the radio. Big Boi and Andre 3000 always know how to perfectly reinvent themselves all while still staying true to themselves. They are highly regarded in music but still stay underrated and that must keep them hungry and continually trying to top them. Even without Andre he still sounds undeniably OutKast. This could be a contender for album of the year if it more people open up their ears and recognize real music.

Why Is No One Talking Anout the Fact That Big Boi Just Dropped the Album of the Year? Jul 20, 2010 By mvsrocks
Seriously. Every song here has a pop hook (meant in the truest sense of the word) that transcends "hip hop". Like "Crazy", "Paper Planes", or, oh yeah "Hey Ya" , these are songs that sound instantly familiar, but not because they've bitten something that's been done before, but rather because they have a timeless quality to them. "Follow Us" has a chorus that you swear you've heard before. "General Patton" and "Night Night" have beats so perfect that you wonder how no one has thought of them sooner. "Be Still" makes you sad that songs that deserve to be the most popular in the nation will never even crack the Top 100, but still amps you up enough to find out who guest singer Janelle Monae is and what her album's all about. Then "You Ain't No DJ" brings just enough dissonance to ensure there's a little dirt under the nails of the album. Amazingly, but not surprisingly, Big Boi's raps avoid corny gangsterisms or cliched mic-prowess boasting. It's also a relief to know that Big Boi values his craft enough to use the endless delays that ensnared this record as an opportunity to continuously hone it into a stone classic. Then consider that the version available in the store, with previously released instant classics like "Shutterbug", "Fo Yo Sorrows", and, of course, "Shine Blockas", doesn't even include two absolute monster bangers featuring Andre 3000 that were left off by Def Jam ("Royal Flush", also featuring Raekwon, and "Lookin' For Ya", about which, after it leaked, Big Boi famously stated "You know, I'm no stranger to that Internet, baby.") For sure, Big Boi is on some Smiths-type stuff, even relegating a track like "Theme Song", aka "Ringtone", that would be a lead single on most hip hop albums to mere Sir Lucious bonus track status. Big Boi has dropped the album of the year so far, but it also cements his place in the pantheon, since he's probably the first rapper in history to be a part of four separate unimpeachable classics (Aquemini, Stankonia, Speakerboxxx, and Sir Lucious). OutKast fans have seemed to traditionally root for Andre 3000, probably because he's the eccentric weirdo with a jones for Parliament-Funkadelic. After Sir Lucious though, you wonder if all along Andre 3000 was merely Bootsy Collins and it was Big Boi who was George Clinton.

Simply amazing, worth the wait! Sep 08, 2010 By vedderoh1 "vedderoh1"
To call Big Boi's Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty amazing is to state the obvious. Surrounded by an array of eclectic names he has achieved what Kanye could only dream of: a sophisticated, lavish hip-hop/rap record that distills originality and spunk.

The temporary separation of Outkast in 2007 left us all with a bad taste. Andre 3000 and Antwan Andre Patton parted ways to pursue solo projects, but gravitated towards each other outside the main capsule. The recording and subsequent of Sir Lucious endured several obstacles for six long years which only increased the expectation and eventually diluted hopes when it was announced that the long awaited collaboration between the Outkast duo would not be part of it due to label disputes. Fortunately, that did not dwindle the quality of the final mix.

Big Boi has admitted his love for Kate Bush's and the unpredictability of her tracks. If anything, the results of reworked tracks and the apparent disparity of styles is his interpretation of such vision. He could not get a hold of Bush for this album but the list of names is still jaw dropping, including funk god George Clinton who participates in Fo yo sorrows, an experience Big Boi has described as `Dorothy going to see the Wizard of Oz"

Shutterbugg is a spanking first single. Although it does not convey the whole mood and inventiveness of the record, it offers a good glimpse of the electro gender bending style that proliferates in Sir Lucious. T.I.'s rhyming propels the already robust and catchy Tangerine into a sure hit single, and Jamie Foxx (yes, THAT Jamie Foxx) delivers a surprisingly outstanding performance for the slow Hustle blood.

Janelle Monae returns the favor and sings lead vocals in Be still, which sounds closer to something off her stunning The archandroid yet it is not dissonant with the rest of the record. Second single Follow us is as catchy as the aforementioned but thrives on synth tracks and the strength of Vonnegutt's chorus that reminisces of old school Boi.

True to his style, the Savannah born MC does not abaandon the sense of humor and infuses song transitions with skits plagued with jabs and punch lines at pop culture and politics, some of them featuring additional vocalists. The true gem amidst this pomp is the lyricism: ranging from boasting to sex and women to the club scene, Patton has created a record that if well offers a nod to his late father in the title, delivers but a fun ride without narcissism and false pretenses.

Big Boi declared on an interview to The Guardian that "as long as you still got honest voices and people that care about music, then you're going to get quality" and his aim is to get modern music back to the music. In the end, Jive Records got it right when they called this record a "piece of art" but screwed big time when they passed on it because it was unmarketable (isn't that always the case with uniqueness?) For me, being able to savor his work in its pure essence from conception to execution is a delight. And for everyone is the realization that he is not a sidekick, he is a mature frontman of exceptional talent that has much more to give than a few cool dance moves.
