Big Boi Showcased Versatility On “Apple Of My Eye”
Celebrate Big Boi’s forty-sixth birthday by revisiting one of his many dope solo cuts, the groovy “Apple Of My Eye.”
In contrast to Sir Lucious, Vicious Lies found Big Boi exploring some of his more experimental instincts, unsurprising given how deeply he reveres the music of Kate Bush. Fueled by a live-band arrangement that keeps the tempo lively, Big Boi steps up like a true frontman and to spit some thematically sharp bars. “In the beginning they say Eve bit it, They’re still sinnin’ cuz they lettin’ every Tom, Dick, and Steve hit it,” he raps, taking to the lush blend of guitar and bass. “Therefore I’m quick to not believe in it.”
Be sure to celebrate Big Boi‘s birthday with a quick spin of “Apple Of My Eye” — do you think the OutKast legend gets the credit he deserves in the modern-day rap discourse?
QUOTABLE LYRICS
Some say the preacher’s daughters are some of the freakiest ones
They been deprived of fun and now they just wanna cut loose
Like everybody else, they wildin’ try to find theyself
And by the time they do, they barely have nobody left, over
Feeling empty and alone, ’cause the youth is gone
The thrill has been killed so let the truth be told
