Big Boi - Mama Told Me
Artist: Big Boi
Featuring: Kelly Rowland
Producer: The Flush
Album: Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors
Label: Def Jam
UPDATE: Click “Watch Video” for the brand new visuals for Mama Told Me. Mobile users can scroll down.
Whether I’m framing a painting, attempting to cook, or doing my taxes, whenever I have a question that a quick Google search can’t resolve, I almost always turn to my mom for advice—and she hasn’t failed me yet. On Mama Told Me, the follow-up to freaky lead single She Said OK, Big Boi shares a few of the lessons he learned from the woman who birthed him. Fresh off collaborating with Spree Wilson on yesterday’s Right One | Wrong Time, The Flush provides a catchy electro-funk backdrop for the Outkast alum’s characteristically intricate, yet engaging flows. Kelly Rowland ties the package together with a smooth, tuneful chorus. Has General Patton outdone himself with this one? Those leaning toward the affirmative will be able to find plenty more where this came from on the artist’s Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors EP, coming November 13, via Def Jam.

Really Nice Throwback 80's production work by The Flush. I'm feelin the groove of this one. Nice flow on the beat by Big Boi and Kelly always sounds good. This is a tight track. 3.5 out of 5 for me.

Big Boi is getting horribly looked over nowadays. We already know he's going to come very correct with a full project like he always does, but people ain't hanging on every single he drops like they do with overrated artists like Meek Mill etc.

You have to appreciate Big Boi's unique ability to make catchy and poppish tunes like this one without them sounding corny as hell. Definitely looking forward to "Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors".

Think the video made this song better for me. Big Boi and Kelly did a nice job. Good track.

Great flow from Big Boi. Nice soft vocals from Kelly. Liking the electrobeat, but definitely not the strongest work from the album.

I had to re-comment. This video is Hot. Rowland was looking real good. But does anyone else think this should of been the idea around the music video for...Fo yo sorrows, on Boi's last album. Thats the way I imagined it would be when I first heard the song, Big Boi lounging on a chair just being a Boss.... Thinking out loud.....

I'm feeling this track! It has a catchy spunky beat but its not too over the top. Kelly Rowland's voice is perfection. They make a great duo

This is nice, me like. Tight job by Big Boi, light-hearted smart, meaningful flow; and for once in a while I like a chorus sang by Kelly Rowland.

Whaat has this right it's "Smooth & radio-ready". It's my least favorite song from the 5 songs I have heard off this album and I still think it's a strong 4 stars. I will buy this rap album.
