The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

wow, that's hot. Thanks!

hmmm yea it's not the kinda rap/hip hop/r n b i like but then anything with tbk in is imo improved its pretty sweet. i wanted to hear a little more of that other one that dan sang on! can't member the name now though!

I can't stand that mash-up.
But I did like that Freddie Gibbs tune when it came out and I still like it now.. probably because Dan's vocals sound crazy good.

after listening to the tracks last night, it reminds me of the worst of Linkin Park/Limp Bizkit - there's no subtlety, everything that Blakroc wasn't.
One track was Ok but then it becomes apparent they are not so much a mash up as they are only a doubling of tracks

Spin Magazine -
❝ There's no lack of genre-crossing album mashups, and while most are for-kicks novelty, some are much more meaningful, like the Beatles-Jay-Z mix The Grey Album, which launched the career of Danger Mouse. Here's another one definitely worth a listen: SPIN Artists of the Year the Black Keys mashed with OutKast rapper Big Boi. Aptly-titled The Brothers of Chico Dusty, the mixtape combines two of SPIN's 40 Best Albums of 2010: Big Boi's solo LP Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty and the Keys' Brothers. Whoever's responsible for this gem -- apparently, it's anonymous artist who goes by "Wick-it" -- shouldn't slip back onto the web unrecognized. ❞

OkayPlayer -
❝ There's typically a high failure rate when DJs haphazardly try to take two dope artists and mash up their music. So I was hesitant when I saw this Big Boi meets The Black Keys project, The Brothers of Chico Dusty, over at TSS. However, after one listen it's clear that there was nothing careless about how Wick-It The Instigator blended two of the better albums of the year Big Boi's Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty and The Black Keys' Brothers. ❞

The Nashville Scene -
❝ Now that The Black Keys live here — and since ATL is just a hop and a skip from Music City — we’re going to go ahead and claim this one. It’s a perfect (semi-) local storm. We told you before about how Big Boi thinks local turntablist Wick-It the Instigator is dope. Well, now there’s even more reason for a bromance to blossom between the two ballers (It's started). Wick-It has mashed up The Black Keys’ Brothers and Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty — both of which are already getting a lot of love on year-end best-of lists (just ask Grimey’s). ❞

I leave for a minute and shit hits the fan. The black Keys are huge now and the are getting down and them jungle boogie beats. I kind of like it though ... I actually like it better than Brothers

listened to the first 4-5 tracks. I like it so far.
Big fan of TBK and Outkast. I actually like it better than the original beats from Chico Dusty.
saw where it was posted on the TBK facebook page.
