BEST OF 2010 (albums) #2 BIG BOI - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty (Purple Ribbon/Def Jam)

The album that almost never saw the light of day was, in the end, more than worth the wait. Big Boi proved that André 3000 isn't the only one in Outkast with a flare for boundary pushing experimentalism on "Sir Lucious Left Foot," which just happens to be one of the most vital hip hop albums of this young century. Musically and lyrically innovative throughout, this wasn't so much a titan returning to form, as it was an innovator hammering out new ideas and sounds to move minds and bodies, in equal measure, with every delirious twist and turn. It's a simple joy to be alive right now just to hear music like this being made. Full review here.
