ARTISTS: Big Boi feat. Andre 3000 and Raekwon
TITLE: “Royal Flush”
WEB DEBUT: March 20, 2008
ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: OutKast as a group has given us so much, it’s hard to really complain. But still, every great track with Big Boi and Andre 3000 helps me forget the misstep of Idlewild a tiny bit.”International Players Anthem” helped quite a bit, and if “Royal Flush” is any indication, Big Boi’s solo album, Sir Luscious Left Foot, might finish the job. Big Boi sounds more like his Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik era self, and any appearance by Raekwon is appreciated. If nothing else, I appreciate Andre’s (who apparently is going by “3 Stacks” somewhat officially now) rhyme of “Nintendo Wiis” and “Whopper with Cheese”. Classic.
Big Boi, 3 Stacks & Rae – Royal Flush *CDQ* [Nah Right]
OutKast = the most consistant rap group ever. Every album they’ve had has been worth my money and the only other rap group that can claim that is The Roots.
They haven’t broken up they’re just not bundling their solo albums like SpeakerBoxx/ The Love Below. Which is understandable.
So does the combination of Big Boi + “3 Stacks” no longer = Outkast?
If so, I’m bummed.
