Check out my review for Big Boi’s album that I’ve written for Okayplayer…
The last solo release from Big Boi became the best-selling hip-hop album of all time. Sure it was packaged along with his partner Andre 3000’s solo release and marketed as an Outkast release, however Speakerboxx is still the most commonly owned hip-hop disc ever. Therefore when Big Boi steps up to release his sophomore solo album, without the accompaniment of 3 Stacks’ classic experimental pop record The Love Below, he has a lot to live up to; luckily General Patton is a veteran, and he demonstrates here that he is just as interesting and brilliant as his sometimes-overshadowing eccentric cohort.
