Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty

Released: 05/07/2010 Mercury
Does Big Boi’s second solo album mean that Outkast are through? Is such a ridiculous title really justifiable? These are pertinent questions, but distract from the wonder of what one half of the world’s biggest selling  – and most eccentric – rap group has achieved by going it alone.

MusicOMH“Extroverted, forward looking music with a restless energy...” It's ludicrous and hilarious in the best possible way. This is party music - and Patton is preoccupied with hedonistic concerns - yet it's all handled imaginatively as well as playfully...

NME“The sound of a man with something to prove...” Topics include religion, conspiracy theories, and – inevitably – sex, all done with a sense of play...

Drowned In Sound“Essential for anyone with even a fleeting interest in rap music...” It’s a record which brilliantly lives up to and even exceeds all the hype, mystique and hyperbole that has surrounding it since it’s inception...

Dusted Magazine“The wait was worth it...” Big Boi isn’t an MC; he’s a songwriter. That distinction is what separates him from other rappers, and it’s what makes Sir Lucious such a pleasure...

allmusic“Slathered in ideas yet robust in foundation...” Sir Lucious Left Foot lacks something as universally appealing and tidy as “The Way You Move,” but that is not a problem -- not when Big Boi casually conveys that he is as much an imaginative artist as his other half in OutKast...

Pitchfork“Big Boi is something else...” An album that explodes with ideas at every turn, that glides and twitches and mutates with delirious urgency...

Guardian“Ideas continually gush forth in a torrent...” It's hard not to conclude that Sir Lucious Left Foot is an album as diverse as its promotional campaign, and as unique as its author's use of Conway Twitty's Greatest Hits...

The Independent“Big Boi's follow-up to Speakerboxxx is not as immediately engaging...” Few rappers can manipulate the charms of hook, rap and beat as infectiously as Patton when all the elements lock together...
