New Song: Big Boi & Kelly Rowland – ‘Mama Told Me’

Published: Tuesday 2nd Oct 2012 by Sam

OutKast star Big Boi is once again setting sail on the solo trail, and has brought along Kelly Rowland for the ride.

The pair have teamed up for ‘Mama Told Me’, the first single to be lifted from the rapper’s hotly anticipated sophomore set ‘Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors’.

Big Boi’s first solo set, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty’, bowed at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2010 and birthed three singles, ‘Shutterbugg’, ‘Fo Yo Sorrows’, and ‘Royal Flush‘.

Is he onto another hit with this one? Take a listen after the jump…

A delicious slice of  Soulful-Funk, ‘Mama Told Me’ manages to give a nostalgic nod to 80’s Synth sound while remaining entirely current. With its whimsical production and catchy hooks (courtesy of Kelly Rowland), it’d be criminal if this didn’t smash on Urban radio. It certainly deserves to. Great track.

    Artist nowadays just can’t do without a feature. Like lilwayne having over 100 billboard entries with 90 percent rapping 2 lines on a song. Smh, Kelly is yet to find herself and stop jumping on everysong that flash in her mailbox.

      SHE CAN DO WITHOUT A FT… IF SOMEBODY AS YOU TO HOP ON THERE SONG AND THEY ARE GOING TO PAY YOU AND THE SONG IS HOT… YOU WILL BE A FOOL NOT TO JUMP ON THE TRACK…. KELLY’S SMART AND ALREADY HAS A NAME FOR HER SELF SO SHE CAN DO ANYTHING….

    I actually like it. It makes me wanna go to the skating ring with a MD 20/20 (banana red) or thunderbird w/cherry cool aid!!!… Yes the good ole high school days!!!

    I just feel like since this is Big Boi’s track I have to do this!… “Let me see your titties. Let me see your titties, she said okay, Okaaaay. now let see your pu***y. Let see your pu**y. She said okaaaay”!!!

    “She said ok”

    She sound great, go mama!!

    i think she do now what she supposed to do when she was managed by papa knowles.
    She make the buzz arround her name and her voice.
    EVERYBODY want a piece of her SO i hope she is ready for promote her own stuff.

    I hope she had no more featuring on her album because obviously she don’t need that anymore.

    Truth be told “BEYONCE” reopen the platform of R&B 90’s music to be re -enter because all we have been getting is pop studio auto tune and leaving R&B artist like the Beyonce’s/R.Kelly’s/Brandy’sUsher’s/Monica’s/Ne-yo’s/Ashanti’s/Xtrina’s/Mariah’s having to fine their way again back into the real R&B culture of real music

This is just my honest opinion.

    • jamelisyours October 2, 2012

    Ms Kelly better work! Mama is in demand and everybody wants a piece – get money and build that brand – hell if all the rappers can do it (LIL WAYNE and co) then so can Ms Kelly – she adds that extra finesse to any track and makes it her own – PS FOR ALL THE HATERS TALKING ABOUT “ICE”….UMMM ITS 26 ON THE BB RNB CHARTS WITH NO PROMO OR VIDEO….FLOP…….NEVER! SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOIN SO HATERS FALL BACK!

  22. haga October 2, 2012

    I lov her verse on this. Shes killing and ppl tryna say ice is a flop its number 26 on the r and b charts right now. Akso wikipedia says it was and is a commercial success so fall the f** bak she knows what shes doing obviously shes gearing up for awards season. Haters stay pressed.

    • lyric commander lee October 2, 2012

      thats what im sayin – ppl so quick to judge – it obvious that ICE has legs of its own and is doin quite fine – hell we may not get a video – maybe its just a warm up – hell bring on album 4
