Big Boi and Andre 3000 are at their best when they are together – or so I thought. Before listening to Big Boi’s new album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, that’s what I would have said. But now, having given Sir Lucious Left Foot a good 10 or so listens, I can say this is the best album that has come out of the Outkast camp in years. Years. Of course it does help that the last good album to come out of the Outkast camp was Stankonia, 10 years ago. This album is refreshing. This album is smooth. This is the best Summer album I’ve heard. The beats are great and Big Boi’s flow and rhymes only prove to the world that there is a sever shortage of Big Boi. Not every song on here is a winner but with 17 tracks, that’s bound to happen. The lead single “Shutterbug,” “Be Still,” “Night Night” and “Daddy Fat Sax” are true stand outs. And most of the rest follow closely behind. I recommend this album as the perfect Summer soundtrack for everyone – except Mel Gibson. That asshole is a fucking racist asshole and should never enjoy an awesome thing for the rest of his life. |
