Patiently Waited 4 This Album ... YAY!

"Let me start by saying ... I LOVE Hip Hop/Rap and it is one of my first loves. I've been a fan of Outkast since the beginning with Southernplayalisticadillacmusic. Outkast has always set the trends and this album does not disappoint! The Speakerboxx is light years away from this CD ... you will NEVER stop playing this CD. It drips with Southern flavor, 808 bass checks, super-fantastic music - Big Boi represented well for his half of the OutKast group.

Big Boi starts out with one of the HARDEST intros I've heard in "ever"! LoL Then leads into some lighter songs in my opinion Daddy Fat Sax, Turn Me On.

Favorite Songs that make the CD top notch to me:

Follow Us - Just funky

Shutterbug is a feel good song that makes you want to groove. The lyrics are very creative.

Tangerine - T.I. and Kudjoe did their thing big time and the drums remind me of the track Bubba Talk by Bubbaa Sparxxx

You Ain't No DJ - Good battle rap song

Hustle Blood - Hot song and Jamie Foxx sounds so good

Fo Yo Sorrows - This is the chill song ... drink or smoke something

Theme Song - Puts you in the mind of the old OutKast

Shine Blockas remix - Different parts of the south represented ... Bun B., Project Pat, Gucci Mane, and Big Boi hold it down on this song.

General Patton is so ATLiens taking this CD to another level with this track. You gotta respect it.

Bottom Line - If you are looking for Andre3000, any representation of the new style of rap, a lot of features, no 808, you will disappointed. I would have given this CD 4.5 stars, but since I cannot, it is closer to 5 stars, then 4. Compared to what is out there in the Hip Hop /Rap world, this CD gave us some really, really good tunes without attempting to being a gangster, rapping about "ice", buying out the bar, and all the frivolities that most rappers rap about. Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is for grown folks, 25 and over. The rap game has become so watered down, to hear this CD is a breath of fresh air."

Big Still Got It!!! Follow Him!!!

"Big Boi & Andre 3000 just don't fall off! They are the most consistent artists of our generation. No lie! Everyone should hear it. How this isn't getting more play on the radio is beyond me. There are about 7 bonafide radio hits on it. Not to say that the other songs aren't jammin too. Finally someone is making interesting music. It was looking as though the year was gonna be a musical wash. We need more of this and less of the crap they play on the radio. Big Boi and Andre 3000 always know how to perfectly reinvent themselves all while still staying true to themselves. They are highly regarded in music but still stay underrated and that must keep them hungry and continually trying to top them. Even without Andre he still sounds undeniably OutKast. This could be a contender for album of the year if it more people open up their ears and recognize real music."

The speakerboxx booms loudly!

"Big Boi left his record company Jive for Def Jam as Jive claimed they had no idea how to Market his solo debut. As a result, there are no collaborations with Andre 3000 though he produced "You ain't no DJ". It definitely is an ambitious project as the title alone tells you, and Big Boi definitely shines out from Dré's shadow, showing he can more than hold his own.

"Turns me on" features Sleepy Brown and Joi and is a bouncy organ-laced Funky groove. The Salaam Remi-produced "Follow us" features Vonnegutt, lilting percussion and a killer chorus. Lead-off single proper is the spartan "Shutterbugg", an icy juddering electro featuring a vocodered Zapp-style hook by Cutty, a sample from Soul II Soul's "Back to life", and is produced by Scott Storch.

"General Patton" features Big Rube and a theatrical Choir. The guitar-driven "Tangerine" features "T.I. and Khujo, while the slowed "Hustle blood" features Jamie Foxx and some wicked guitar.

The shuffling piano-sprinkled "Be still" features the soulful croon of Janelle Monaé (Big Boi appeared on her single "Tightrope"), while the bass-heavy "Fo yo sorrows features George Clinton, Too Short and Sam Chris as well as ringtone-style chimes. "Night night" is set to swirling synths and features B.o.B and Joi, the incredibly catchy and soulful "Shine blockas" features Gucci Mane and the theatrical "The train part II (Sir Lucious left foot save the day)" has a ghostly whistle, horn-filled Latin-tinged coda and features Sam Chris.

An exciting musical adventure every bit as wild and wacky as an Outkast album. Some of the skits are pretty funny too. Can't wait for Andre's album, as well as the Outkast album."

Why Is No One Talking Anout the Fact That Big Boi Just Dropp

"Seriously. Every song here has a pop hook (meant in the truest sense of the word) that transcends "hip hop". Like "Crazy", "Paper Planes", or, oh yeah "Hey Ya" , these are songs that sound instantly familiar, but not because they've bitten something that's been done before, but rather because they have a timeless quality to them. "Follow Us" has a chorus that you swear you've heard before. "General Patton" and "Night Night" have beats so perfect that you wonder how no one has thought of them sooner. "Be Still" makes you sad that songs that deserve to be the most popular in the nation will never even crack the Top 100, but still amps you up enough to find out who guest singer Janelle Monae is and what her album's all about. Then "You Ain't No DJ" brings just enough dissonance to ensure there's a little dirt under the nails of the album. Amazingly, but not surprisingly, Big Boi's raps avoid corny gangsterisms or cliched mic-prowess boasting. It's also a relief to know that Big Boi values his craft enough to use the endless delays that ensnared this record as an opportunity to continuously hone it into a stone classic. Then consider that the version available in the store, with previously released instant classics like "Shutterbug", "Fo Yo Sorrows", and, of course, "Shine Blockas", doesn't even include two absolute monster bangers featuring Andre 3000 that were left off by Def Jam ("Royal Flush", also featuring Raekwon, and "Lookin' For Ya", about which, after it leaked, Big Boi famously stated "You know, I'm no stranger to that Internet, baby.") For sure, Big Boi is on some Smiths-type stuff, even relegating a track like "Theme Song", aka "Ringtone", that would be a lead single on most hip hop albums to mere Sir Lucious bonus track status. Big Boi has dropped the album of the year so far, but it also cements his place in the pantheon, since he's probably the first rapper in history to be a part of four separate unimpeachable classics (Aquemini, Stankonia, Speakerboxxx, and Sir Lucious). OutKast fans have seemed to traditionally root for Andre 3000, probably because he's the eccentric weirdo with a jones for Parliament-Funkadelic. After Sir Lucious though, you wonder if all along Andre 3000 was merely Bootsy Collins and it was Big Boi who was George Clinton."
