They put Gucci in a cell, then Madea went to jail, I make music, I make movies, I need Tyler Perry sales...
Always been underwhelmed by Big Boi's solo ventures, but this song gets it right. [/i]

OK with both but not too excited by either. Went with Big Boi as it felt a bit more vibrant.

Looks like all three of my hip-hop nominees are on the way to a first-round exit. Pour a sip on the concrete for the deceased. And yet again, it's to a song I also regard as near-perfect (and like Maps, considered nominating). So I can't begrudge any of the individual results, even if I mourn the overall phenomenon that when two songs of comparable stature enter, the rap song leaves.
So why did I nominate this single from late 2009? First, the beat is simply incredible. Cutmaster Swift flips a great sample into a beat that is somehow at once palatial and buttery smooth, captures the soulfulness of the source material, is distinctively southern in its musical points of reference within hip-hop, and knocks hard as hell.
Big Boi and Gucci Mane ride the beat flawlessly. They are both in near-top form in terms of flows and bars, and while said bars might not be of the 'spiritual lyrical miracle' variety, that doesn't make them any lesser.

Def. Big Boi's work since has been bizarrely uneven, but that album's a banger. Probably in my top 25 hip-hop releases of the decade. I think it was also the first hip-hop album I ever bought on wax... also one of the first albums I illegally ripped to a CDr.  (vinyl's still on the shelf, think I've tossed the disc since though).
Shine Blockas is a highlight, but the streak from Follow Us to Hustle Blood is underappreciatively solid. Insane knowing he hopped in the studio nearly 13 years ago to start it, time flies...
Just a pity it's up against Fake Empire.
