I was shocked the first time I listened through Sir Lucious Left Foot, then a second and third time. I had been hearing good things. The mix tape was great, but I wasn’t prepared for this. This is what Hip-Hop should song like.
It’s been so long since we’ve heard new material by OutKast that I was kinda worried that Big Boi, often seen as the lesser half behind Andre 3000, wouldn’t stack up. But from the opening Daddy Fat Stax, it’s nothing but gold. The production is nothing short of perfect, as to be expected with names like Scott Storch and Organized Noize. There’s a great sense of balance between loud stompers (Shutterbug, Daddy Fat Stax) and softer, more heavily and diversely musical tracks we’re used to from OutKast (Turns Me On, Shine Blockas) Then there’s Big Boi’s amazing flow and lyrics, which will speak for themselves when you hear it.
It’s without a doubt the best release of 2010 and I can’t say enough good things about it.
