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...
