I’ve been waiting for this shit since February (when Mek posted the snippet). We need that Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty soon! Shouts to Cherise over at Grand Hustle.

The son of Chico Dusty performs a few cuts from his version of Dre’s Detox. I mean damn, if Rae can drop his album after saying it would come out for 50-11 years, why can’t these two? Props to Kisha.

“ATLiens” is up top, “So Fresh, So Clean” is down bottom. Props to Kisha.

Can Andre 3000 become one of the few MCs to make three consecutive Hottest MCs lists?

No question Andre has just about all of the credentials to reign on the Hottest MCs list — except one. To say we caught him between cycles is an understatement. The ATLien hasn’t dropped an LP since 2003′s The Love Below (OK, the “Idlewild” soundtrack if you want to get technical — but even that was three years ago). But making the list has never been about putting out albums — the roundtable talk is always about how he makes his guest appearances an event. Dre certainly lit up the airwaves late last year on John Legend’s “Green Light,” but his verses since then have been tougher to find. Stacks hasn’t been too prolific, so will the handful of gems be enough to get a ranking this year?

In a rare interview, Andre talked to us about the past Hottest MCs lists, the concept of them and where he’d like to see himself stacking up against the competition.

“The thing about these hip-hop lists … it’s like, ‘How can you make a list because it’s so many people you leave off that a lot of people may disagree with?’ ” Dre wondered. “If you have 10 guys in a room [debating], that’s their list. It can’t be a world list, ’cause it’s a lot of people … I’m surprised Ludacris is never on there — he’s one of the dopest. Black Thought ain’t on there — he’s killin’ a lot of people.

“Then you got too many opinions,” he added. “You have people that come up to me in the streets and say certain things. I’m like, ‘Well, that’s their opinion.’ I just say, ‘Man, everybody do your thing.’ I’d rather be #2 and everybody know I should be #1, than to be #1. Then I have somewhere to go.”

The polls close on September 21 so get your vote on (if you wish).

If there was a reason to go to Canada – aside from finagling a way into their universal health care – this would be it. I mean damn, Melyssa Ford comes from Canadialand. ‘Nuff said.

Another OkayRoots production with The Apple Juice Kid. This time he brings along his band The Remix Project for their brand new album Mixtape. They did live instrumental interpretations of your favorite hip hop tracks along with some of their favorites. The artwork was done by Dallas’ own Objektiv One so be looking out for much more from this dope designer as he is now illRoots Familia. Some brand new Freebass 808 (Apple Juice Kid x Suede) is on the way as their first single Rewind featuring Jovi Rockwell of Major Lazer will be dropping soon.

Last night the homie Big Boi invited me over to Stankonia Studios to let me hear Sir Lucious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty in its entirety. And I must say…the shit is fie. Twelve straight tracks of nothing but that funk. I didn’t hear a song that was skipworthy. Dude really put his Leftfoot off in this album. Hell, with it being 2 years and 9 months in the making, we can’t expect nothing but that fie at this point. But yeah, after the listen we chopped it up for bit and I recorded some of our conversation. He spills a couple good beans (confirmed he will be at the Goodie Mob reunion show) and bad beans (he’s not signed to Def Jam?) in the video, so watch the whole thing.

New (most likely unreleased) shit from Sonic & Tails; over a beat that no other hip hop duo should’ve touched. Outkast >>>
