Omg southern hip-hop is finally futuristic sounding and Big Boi is at the helm of it all! The beats throughout the whole album are club oriented yet have the space-vibe resonating from them. Had it not been for the lacking, but still good, "Fo Yo Sorrows", and "Royal Flush"/"Lookin' For Ya" not being on the album it'd be a perfect rating. All the guest verses and choruses are good and don't feel like they didn't try just cause it's not their own stuff. Janelle Monae, B.o.B and Jamie Foxx had great hooks, and Yelawolf and TI had pretty great verses. IDK what the skits were about but I rotfl when Sir Left Foot called Kesha, and he said:
Sir Left Foot: "For $30 you gonna do what the f*** I want to, Imma fill up your tank and make it rain"
Kesha: "$30? It was $50. How it go down to $30?"
Sir Left Foot: "Well ok it's goin' be drizzlin' it ain't gonna rain, f*** it"
Kesha: "N***a that ain't precipitation nun-unh"
I do wanna single out "Night Night" with B.o.B and Joi. Cause B.o.B is huge right now and his hook is done well and Big Boi's flow and lyrics are absolutely insane. Speaking of Big Boi, I should probably talk about him some cause it's his album. He was on point! He's not the best rapper ever, but his flows were good throughout, the lyrics were deep when they need to be, good punchlines, and great delivery, etc, etc.
The first southern, futuristic, hip-hop album (I'm going to go ahead and say) ever. In short it was fun listen, great beats, good rapping, good hooks, and this is probably the best release in 2010 I've heard so far.
Rating: 9/10 or 4.5/5 Stars
