    Big Boi's lyrically on point, too, balancing cavalier wit and grown-man profundity that puts this album among Outkast's best. Your move, 3000.

    On Sir Lucious Left Foot, Big Boi does something even more difficult: He gives us a great album that sounds nothing like any of the great albums he's already given us. From where I'm sitting, that's an even greater achievement.

    A succession of enjoyable songs with plenty to offer.

    What's finally made it is an expansive, guest-packed 57 minutes that recall the Southern hip-hop bounce of 2003's 'Speakerboxxx', but with an added twist of maturity.

    Cool, inventive, eccentric and powerful, this is the hip-hop album of the year or maybe it might be the album of the year. It retains Outkast's eccentricity and genre clashing tendencies but it completely launches Big Boi out of the Outkast area by being a completely fresh listen with creatively layered sounds and Big Boi's smart lyricism with an offbeat rhyming style and delivery.… Expand

    To step out of the outkast franchise was surely a hard task for Big Boi,but on his first solo album I feel he does this very well with some exciting genre bending Hip-Hop. The major highlight is the single 'Shutterbugg' which sounds like Hip-Hop from some other galaxy. Other personal favourites for me are 'Daddy Fat Sax' for full on hip hop and 'Turns Me On' which is a bit more funky then anything else on offer. Well worth a purchase, this could well become a classic album with reflection in a few years time.… Expand

    I like the experimental nature of this album-something I do not think BigBoi has done too much of in the past. And, his rhyming skill is still top notch. Being such a big Outkast fan make this hard to write-but this album is garbage. There isn't more than two songs I like on this toilet paper. Even recruiting some guests on it doesn't make it something I'd want. Clearly Andre 3000 agreed cuz' he refused appearance on it.… Expand

    If you long for the days of ATliens, Aquemini, and Stankonia, don't waste your time with this rubbish. Another sad release by a previously fantastic artist trying to jump the shark into "modern" hip hop/rap. Even Reakwon couldn't save this album. I was excited to read somewhere that Organized Noize was doing some tracks, but maybe I am just hopefull of a Outkast return to form someday. Unfortunately, this is not it. On the plus side, it is still better than 75% of the other hip-hop garbage that is churned out these days.… Expand
