Sir Lucious Left Foot (the son of Chico Dusty) has entered the building, y’all—and he’s come to make his presence not only noticed but also immediately respected.
Big Boi’s newest album is a combination of familiar territory and some new age features. What I consider familiar would be that trademark Atlanta soulistic playa type of flow and foundational bass beats; but it’s the infusion of big bang noise that eventually plays off those foundational beats and caters to a new feeling of hip hop—not so mellow anymore. Loud instruments and major sounds characterize this album…to me, which is something OutKast used to be typified with, but there’s just something in the water this time.
Take note on the turn of this genre, how its been somewhat beneficial to incorporate a kind of techno style. It’s taking over Pop and R&B, and it’s tryin’ to infiltrate the almighty Hip Hop. But only a select few have been able to influentially cross this border successfully, and it just might be safe to say Mr. Left Foot (aka Big Boi) has joined the group. Though sticking to his roots, Big Boi is still making music that isn’t too far of the charts that he’s unrecognizable. And he brought a few friends (to say in the least) to accompany him in this solo act—a little oxymoron.
Sir Lucious Left Foot: the Son of Chico Dusty
1. Feel Me (Intro)
2. Daddy Fat Sax- perfect following to the intro, so this is the intro song.
3. Turns Me On ft. Sleepy Brown & Joi- perfect for the bounce and sway…and I mean dancing.
4. Follow Us ft. Vonnegutt
5. Shutterbug ft. Cutty- the single. A good way to make an entrance.
6. General Patton- sounds like that one track that serves as the flowiest of the flowiest. It’s supposed to demonstrate skill because of the slower tempo, harsh words, and minimal chorus, etc.
7. Tangerine ft. T.I. & Khujo Goodie- heard it first when it was featured on T.I.’s “I’m Back” mixtape, liked ever since.
8. You Aint No DJ ft. Yelawolf
9. Hustle Blood ft. Jamie Foxx- 1 of 2 “love songs”.
10. Be Still ft. Janelle Monáe- the 2nd of the 2 “love songs”.
11. For Your Sorrows ft. George Clinton & Too Short- the ‘Get High’ song. Who else better to suit the job than none other than GC (who has been rockin the multi-colored weaved dreds for the last 3 decades), definite sign of the MJ.
12. Night, Night ft. B.o.B. and Joi- wish I coulda heard Bobby Ray a little more, that’s all.
13. Shine Blockas ft. Gucci Mane- the only place where Gucci could fit in, lol.
14. The Train Pt. 2 (Sir Lucious Left Foot Saves The Day) ft. Sam Chris- the continued story from Idlewild’s “The Train”.
15. Back Up Plan
