Video: Big Boi, “General Patton”
So, a little victory music is called for with Big Boi’s new record “General Patton.” Shortly after “Shutterbug” and “Lookin 4 Ya,” Big Boi pounding his chest in on the more aggressive cut from Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty. The video’s opener with Sleepy Brown’s intro set the tone for Big Boi’s heavy artillery. A couple of weeks ago, he addressed DJs on a Def Jam conference call saying this:
“The “General Patton” record was basically an album opener for me. It was produced by me and my homeboy J Beatz down at Stankonia Studios. It’s just like a little reintroduction to let everybody know what’s going on. I got “Shutterbug,” that thing kind of took off and went to the other side of the fence. So I want to feed the streets, that’s my litle street record that I got out… straight 808 bass.”

We heard this joint is not going to be on Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty so we’re hoping that this means NEW Outkast! We’re pretty sure the only thing that would melt our brains faster than the next Outkast album is Michael Jackson rising from the dead and performing a concert in Central Park as a glitter ghost, while also announcing a new record from the beyond. Heavy marching band drums, Sleepy’s soft melody-making and Big Boi and 3 Stacks tongue twisting lyrics sliding in between the beat. These dudes do it so effortlessly. Their verses are full of syncopated pauses and staccato flows that nobody in the game can even pretend to pull off as well as them. This is why we believe these two belong together. if you can hear us PLEASE one album, as Outkast, TOGETHER SOON!
