Editorial Reviews
2010 solo release from one-half of Outkast. Following the success of Speakerboxxx, which went on to win two Grammy's and sell 11 million copies as a double album alongside his OutKast partner-in-rhyme Andre 3000's The Love Below. Big Boi now returns with his long awaited solo album Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty. The first single taken off his album is the infectious 'Shutterbug', produced by Scott Storch.

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.

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 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.

I don't like the skits anymore; Can I keep it real with you? I also do not like the "blast-off" pop moments where it turns into a happytime / sparklers-and-glitter party. Read more
