Big Boi - Sumthin's Gotta Give ft. Mary J. Blige
Artist: Big Boi
Featuring: Mary J. Blige
Producer: Malay
Album: Sir Luscious Left Foot: Son of Chico Dusty
Label: Def Jam
OutKast’s Big Boi is not just known for his rhymes; he’s got loads of crazy nicknames, like Francis the Savannah Chitlin’ Pimp. He recently added another alias to his collection, with the title of his impending solo debut, Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. The always-creative ATLien has also reached out to the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige, for a collaboration on the disc’s second single, Sumthin’s Gotta Give. Beatmaker Malay supplies soulful guitar twangs and sliding synths that allow Mary’s sorrow-tinged vocals and Big Boi’s steady rhymes to mesh. The duo trade stories of the woes common to everyone in America, from job losses to the government’s failure to help those in need. Will the public relate to the stories that Big Boi and Mary have to tell? Find out when Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty drops in late summer.

the lyrics are interesting, i love his delivery but the song is probably the best it could be its just not a banger to me.

I'm glad Big Boi is stepping it up, because Andre was bypassing him really quick. This production by Maylay is so ill....I can't put it into words. My girl Mary J. Blidge is back with some soulful vocals. For some reason, she didn't give me the chills like she used to, but it was good though. Big Boi's verses were so clean with the delivery and the flow. I really love the mix on the vocals too, except for Mary J's. They would have it better if they were mixed sharper. But this is a great track. I can't wait to hear some more from Big Boi's new project.

Deep song from Big Boi, this is a different approach for him. I like the song, but Im not sure if it matches his style. I prefer the Big Boi with the funky beats and creative lyrics. This song is hot though, I will definitely bump it. Not quite a banger, but a 3 easily.
