Sir Lucious Left Foot... The Son of Chico Dusty
-
Big Boi
Big Boi’s first solo album released under his name instead of as part of Outkast with Andre 3000. While listeners got a taste of the direction Big Boi tended towards when solo with Speakerboxxx, his half of Outkast’s double album (Speakerboxxx / The Love Below), The Son of Chico Dusty was the first actual album released by Big Boi alone – 16 years after his debut on the 1994 album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.
Sir Lucious Left Foot, the first part of the title, was a pseudonym adopted by Big Boi on Stankonia – at the same time that Andre added a 3000 to his name. Big Boi does delve into his own territory on this album, but he maintains he and Andre 3k are still homies and reminds you of his nigh unmatched rap pedigree as half of Outkast throughout.
“Shutterbug” and “General Patton” were big hits in particular, “You Ain’t No DJ” was one of the first times Yelawolf got a big feature, and the final track on the deluxe edition (“Lookin' For Ya”) features a reunion between Big Boi and Andre 3000.
