Meanwhile, on the right side of the “ft.”…

Colin Small: Pimp C, one half of UGK, died in 2007, so it’s fitting that everyone on this track would want to rap like him. Rapping like Pimp C, unfortunately, is pretty hard. Big Boi locks into Pimp’s deceptively simple stutter step, but in doing so loses any of the quickness that can make his rhyming fun. Big K.R.I.T, who always raps like Pimp, raps like he always does, which is to say, over-confidently. Bun B also raps like he always does, which is to say, like a robot.

Jamieson Cox: André 3000, a.k.a. Halley’s Rapper, has received so much love for his guest-verse heat in recent months and years that it’s easy to continue overlooking the eternally-overlooked Big Boi, who is typically fluid and charismatic here on “Gossip”. I don’t think this beat is anything special, but I’d listen to Boi rapping Gray’s Anatomy over Merzbow if that existed.

Brad Shoup: I could listen to Big Boi say smediums all damn day. Bun, on the other hand, has got to compile his wisdom into a pamphlet or somthing. For all I know he already has, and that’s why his conversational cadence seems to’ve slowed to a reading voice.

Jonathan Bogart: Always good to hear Big Boi’s inventive production choices and bemused flow; and of course his dedication to showcasing less-exposed Southern rappers is laudable. But Bun B just sounds lost, and Big K.R.I.T. hasn’t done anything memorable since “Country Shit.” He still hasn’t.

Alfred Soto: Disappointing: Big Boi stumbling over terrible polysyllables. Pathetic: Big K.R.I.T.

Josh Langhoff: Crazy old codgers sit around griping about daytime talk shows, bifocals and cataract prescriptions, the real Classic Coke, all these whippersnappers wearing their clothes too tight, and Bun B tries out a “no homo” joke a year after it was banished to a lonely island of anachronism. Despite all its unexpected little outbursts, even their killer beat demonstrates the short motional walk between “head nod” and “rocking chair.” Good thing they’re funny! Big Boi gets the best line — “like Dancing With the Stars without the judges or the dance floor” — before quoting a Goodie Mob song that was prematurely old when it came out 14 years ago. To the old folks, every new dance looks like a dis.

Anthony Easton: Have we not sorted this out yet? Having a woman insert her finger into a man’s anus for sexual pleasure is a heterosexual act. There is nothing homo about it.

Patrick St. Michel: This Southern rap all-star team delivers, especially Big Boi who sounds effortless pumping himself up while tearing someone else down.  The beat, though, is unremarkable while the chorus does the unthinkable and makes me long for the days of Vonnegutt.

Iain Mew: So this is all fine and Big Boi sure can rap well and all but there’s a more important and puzzling question here — Jeremy Kyle has made it to America??
