Holy sh!t that track is brilliant!

Shutterbug, Royal Flush, For Yo Sorrows, Somethings Gotta Give, Shine Blockas, Tangerine and now General Patton - is it too early to say this album will be a classic??

BTW, I heard that General Patton will be the intro to the Sir Lucious Leftfoot, what a way to kick off an album!

According to Big Boi's twitter, Jive don't want Andre on it, although he has prodcued a track. Strange.

Yeah man I heard that, pretty ridiculous, but I just checked Big Boi's twitter and apparently the Andre tracks are back on it (hopefully its the ones he had verses on, and not just the ones he produced)

I ****ing hate hyperbole, but I think this album could be an absolute masterpiece.:eek:

Everything we have heard has been absolute splendid, if the rest is as strong we have the first masterpiece of the decade..:eek::eek::eek:

No pressure then...:pac:

mufcboy1999

Looking For Ya feat Andre 3000 (beat is insane, that bassline is flithy!)

^ Since Jive are blocking Dre from being on here, Big Boi leaked this track himself, its a crime that it wont be on the album though

Makaveli

Watched the new episode of Entourage there and was wondering what the opening song would be. Shutterbugg, nuf said.

Boom_Bap

just about to watch it myself, they always have great hiphop in the background or in between scenes on the show

horsebox09

Sir Lucious Leftfoot has arrived

Edit: The album is absolutely bonkers, even as an Eminem stan who's loving Recovery I can honestly say this is far and away the best hip hop album I've heard this year

Funky, sexy, aggressive, Big Boi done his thing on here!

And the production is excellent

Favorite song after one listen is probably Daddy Fat Sax, but every track is as good as the next

Makaveli

Only home from work so I'll have to listen after the Spain game, man I've been dying to listen all day. Great news that it's sounding good, I had little doubt though.

Listening at the moment, sounds real good so far.

The David Blaine thing is totally out of place, but made me chuckle.

Boom_Bap

After listening, i think that the album starts off really strong, but towards the end I thought it was dragging its heels a bit.
Need to listen again though, some amazing stuff on it.

Makaveli

No drag for me. This album is butter. Can't see anything being better this year.

Only thing that was a let down was on the Shine Blockas remix it was a recycled Big Boi verse from the original and not a new verse.

Boom_Bap

Listened again, not a major fan of Hustle Blood and You Aint No DJ. There is another song as well that is not listed on the track listening above ^ got thats on the version i got, and i cant remember the name of it, it's on my machine in work....but it's pretty annoying. I'll get the name of it tomorrow.

Hustle Blood & You Aint No DJ might grow on me though.

I opened another thread on Eternia & Moss, i think that album is slightly better than Big Boi...but this is only after one day of listening to both.

Raekwon

I got my hands on the extended 19 track version and I have to say I'm very impressed after only a handful of listens. It's a very solid well produced album with plenty of high points but I personally don't really like 'Shine Blockas', mainly because I really like Jigga's 'This Can't Be Life' and I can't get my head around what sounds like a distorted sample of that track. Hopefully it will grow on me because the rest of the album is near flawless IMO!

Tracklist?

'Shine Blockas' is the best track on the album imo.

Lyrically its a very decent track but like I said everytime that I hear it I cannot help comparing it to the Kanye produced "This Can't Be Life" and that really annoys me.

Makaveli

That's missing Theme Song from the 17 track deluxe edition. I think the 19 track version might just be people adding tracks that were cut.

Ringtone was renamed Theme Song to avoid friction between record labels and is only on the deluxe edition. Btw I have no doubt that the 19 track version is not the official Def Jam release, but the more tracks the better as far as I'm concerned. Btw "Dubbz" & "Sumthin's Gotta Give" (features Mary J. Blige) also got cut from the official release.

Makaveli

Ah didn't realise that.

Something's Gotta Give wouldn't have worked considering the theme, glad they cut it. Goes to show just how delayed the album release is.

Boom_Bap

Ringtone is the song i dont like

Raekwon

Yeah Sumthin's Gotta Give is very down beat and somewhat political so probably wouldn't have suited the funky style of the album but Dubbz wouldn't have seemed out of place IMO

Orizio

'Lookin For Ya' is ****ing nasty, classic OutKast. 'Royal Flush' is similarly superior to the majority of the stuff on the real release. Shame Jive acted like dickheads - add those two, cut the album down to 45 or so minutes and you have a borderline Hip-Hop masterpiece.

Orizio

What were the other 3 stack tracks cut from the album?

Raekwon

Orizio wrote: »

Ringtone (which was renamed Theme Song), Dubbz & Sumthin's Gotta Give.

Edit: Lookin' For Ya is an amazing track, both MC's kill it!

horsebox09

As far as I know Dre was also meant to a have a verse on You Aint No Dj - that track would be a lot better if 3K was on it instead of Yelawolf imo

As good as the album is, I can't help but wonder what it could have been if Jive didn't fcuk Big Boi over

Orizio

Sumthin's Gotta Give is nice and smooth too imo - throw that, 'Lookin' For Ya' and 'Royal Flush' in with Feel Me, Daddy Fat Sax, Follow Us, Shutterbug, General Patton, Fo Yo Sorrows, Shine Blockas, The Train Pt 2 and Back Up Plan and you have a ****ing album.

Makaveli

Something's Gotta Give is out of date though. I think it would have been a bad idea to include it.

evil_seed

this album is pretty close to a classic and i havent even listened to all of it yet. love tangerine

The critics are eating this album up! Looks like its going to be the most acclaimed hiphop album since Hell Hath No Fury

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Lucious_Left_Foot:_The_Son_of_Chico_Dusty

9.2 from Pitchfork, 4.5/5 from Allmusic, 4.5/5 from Spin, average of 91 on Metacritic at the moment
with Andre 3K not being on here hopefully the reception from critics will get more people to buy the album

Jimmy Iovine

Bought the album the other day there. One of the best and freshest albums I've ever heard. Every beat is majestic and just sucks you into the song. Have been singing the hook to "Follow Us" for the last few days.

Have it on the cd player in the car and find myself going the whole length of the town for a few bananas just so I can listen to it. It is as someone above said absolutely bonkers. Just a pity Eminem couldn't have gotten some beats and hooks like that on his album. Pales in comparison on that aspect.

In other news Big Boi seems to have announced the title of his next album, "Daddy Fat Sax: Soul Funk Crusader". Can't wait for it already

Picked this up today. I'm really looking forward to getting into it. Nice price too, only €12 in HMV.
