The big homey, Rizoh from TheRapUp.Net said it best, “How do you go from ‘Royal Flush’ to this”? I’m sure Big Boi is just attempting to gain commercial steam so he can infiltrate the “Top 40″ system, and I’m sure Big Boi advocates all around the globe will give him a pass, but that still doesn’t mean I can’t reserve some type of room for disappointment.

Maybe I’m being to harsh on him since I haven’t had lunch today. Whatever the case is, I pray to the rap heavens that this offering isn’t anywhere close to the representation of his long awaited solo project, Sir Luscious Leftfoot , which is scheduled to drop later this year.

This past summer I promised myself that I would never ever (ever, ever) use the word “swagger” again. Like so many other terms in black vernacular, it seemed swagger had literally took on a life of its own. I was fed up. People were no longer being judged on the content of their character, but instead on how much swag they had.

It all reminded me of the final scene in Juice when Omar Epps’ character is told “you got the juice now.” Swagger is “the juice” version 2008 and everyone ( and they momma) thinks they have it. Now I admit, I have used the “s” word once or twice. Upon seeing a guy that by all standards is not attractive, I have said things such as “ yeah his eye is kind of lazy, but he has swag.” So when I made the resolution to retire the term, it was in many ways, the first step to recovery.

I admitted I had a problem, and I vowed to fix it. And then something happened. The track Swagger Like Us happened. T.I., Kanye, Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne happened. Sampling a line from M.I.A’s Paper Planes, this hip-hop quartet makes a seemingly undeniable claim in one of the hottest songs this fall- no one has swagger like them. Of course Jim Jones would beg to differ, but I’m really more interested in what you think.

Who, in the music industry, has the most swagger? I know.. I know.. by asking this question I am perpetuating usage of the word, but hey- if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Swag on playa… swag on.

My psychic powers did NOT predict this, but hey, you have to love the unexpected. Recently revealed to Rolling Stone, Andre 3000 is finally prepping his return to the hip hop realm. Of course, details about the project weren’t mentioned, but he did express he’s been crafting content for the project, but still looking for the exact lane on how to release it to the masses. 3000 said of the project, “It should be dropping by the end of this year or early next year. I’ve pretty much been working by myself.”

Though I’m extremely excited about Andre hitting studio, I’m deeply sadden about his sentiments in regards to collaborating with anyone. Now I’m not sure if 3 Stacks is referring to Big Boi or everyone, but I damn sure hope he has his partner in rhyme(Big Boi) on the project. “I’ve never really been that big on collaboration,” he said. “I have a concept, and all the soundscapes are already in my head, so I just have to figure out how to get there. I’ve learned that I’m most powerful when I’m doing my art” Andre expressed.

Are you guys ready for a solo project from Andre or do we need another OutKast album??? I’m heading to lunch, but when I get back, I BETTER see some comments (I meant that in the nicest way, lol)

These are the records that make hip hop so fruitful. It’s records like this that give us hope in a troubled time that’s weighing heavy on everyone’s shoulder’s. Big Boi and MJB team up for an extremely powerful record called “Something’s Gotta Give”.

In a time where the economy is making us think twice about the things we purchase, Big Boi speaks on issues that are relevant to the wealthiest and the not so well-off.

Big Boi ft. Mary J. Blige- Something’s Gotta Give

Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty, Big’s solo effort is set to release
