Product 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.
Album Description
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.

 Simply amazing, worth the wait! September 8, 2010

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.

I have solid album from Big Boi. I heard a few songs that were leaked a couple months ago so I have been in anticipaion for this album release and Big Boi didn't let me down. Pick up a copy or two of this album and you will not be disappointed.

C. Kunke
This is by far the best album of the year. If you liked anything outkast has done, and even if you don't, check this out.
The very best tracks include:
Daddy Fat Sax
Shutterbug
General Patton
Tangerine
You Ain't No DJ
Fo Yo Sorrows
Night Night
Shine Blockas
Train PT 2
Basically the whole album bangs. As a huge outkast fan I'm partially biased, but many of my friends who don't like outkast dig this album. Big Boi's flows are immaculate, lyrics unpredictable, and the beats are all innovative (just listen to the andre 3000 produced "You Ain't No DJ".
