BEST OF 2010 (songs) #9 Big Boi - Tangerine

Big Boi's phenomenal "Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty" boasts a buttload of perfect songs, any of which could/should be on countless Top 10 lists this year, but of them all "Tangerine" was the one that stopped everything in its tracks when it came on the stereo, and demanded that you lose your shit entirely right there on the spot. It is dark dank and x-rated, and contains one of the most descriptive and memorable lines of the year. Before Kanye's romp through the jungle on "Monster," Big Boi unleashed his own drums of death on "Tangerine," which features lo-end toms bashing out a beat, while a subdued blues guitar winds its way through the hot and heavy track like a snake. The song also contains the addictive refrain "shake it like a tambourine," which rivals OutKast teammate Andre 3000's infamous "shake it like a Polaroid picture." You can not deny this song, you just can't.
