Let me say somethin'
When you was growin' up
And yo grandmama had plastic on the couch
I know all y'alls grandmamas had plastic on the couch
You know why y'alls grandmamas had plastic on the couch?
Because your grandmama was a squirter

Where do I start...
1, Most Outkast and memorable DF projects have incredible depth. I was expecting a really deep soundscape that has amazing repeat value. This is too short to qualify.
2, There is a gap between the good and average on here. Kill Jill and Made Men (- Kurupt) could fit on a 5 mic album.. the rest are not close.
3, Many of the guest choices are poor .. Gucci come on..He cant hang with Big Boi. Adam Levine is just too commercial for words now. Eric Bellinger...
4, Killer Mike owns it. That's not a good thing. This is Outkast.
5, No Janelle, Andre Benjamin, Cee Lo, Sleepy, Gipp..

Gave it two more back to back spins today..
I was wrong... its not bad at all - for a release in 2017.

you reaching with some of these.

Pretty much all of them honestly. Adam Levine is too commercial? Outkast has been doing very commercial stuff since probably their 3rd album. Big Gipp? When was the last time he even collaborated with Big Boi, on Got Purp Vol 2?? Andre been out the loop for so many years, I don't even miss him. Killer Mike always been dope. Sleepy Brown, he's ON THE ALBUM lol. Cee-Lo? Outside of Rick Ross' "Smile", I only care far him rapping, something he hasn't done since 2006.

yeah that big gipp shyt is what made me quote it. he ain't did a song with him since speakerboxx, like 3 songs with cee- lo in the same period and like 3 songs with Dre in the past decade. witchdoctor my favourite df member but i ain't knocking this project because he ain't on it.

Adam Levine and Maroon 5 have gone mega pre written pop machine recently. Just like Linkin Park... and a few other bands that you'd think knew better.
To me the track sounds a bit forced / desperate for a pop hit.

Cee Lo Green raps on the David Banner Godbox lp which is very new.
Its an amazing verse also.

My apologies over Sleepy, I wanted him on all the hooks!

Re Killer Mike, I was saying that he steals the show on this album. Big Boi used to murk near everybody.

I would love to see the full DF come through.. I dont know why but I thought it was happening and ONP were producing the lot this time, I also expected Andre to have clearance.
Confused with this...
Big Boi’s ‘Boomiverse’ Co-Produced By Organized Noize, Double Album?

The good news, 12 more tracks are on the way.

I have every DF release here apart from Society Of Soul on CD btw. I am a fan,

Ever since I bought "The Love Below/Speakerboxxx" and listened to The Love Below first* was so damn god didn't care to hear Big Boi's disc*......

I was fine with NEVER hearing anything new from Big Boi again in my life and I'm still on that.
