album review
Few groups earn a major-label contract based on their producer's merits, but when Little Brother jumped to Atlantic for their second full album, The Minstrel Show, any cynic looking for a good reason would point to the increased profile of trackmaster 9th Wonder (Jay-Z, Destiny's Child). But it wasn't just 9th Wonder that made Little Brother's first album one of the best underground rap debuts of the new millennium; rappers Phonte and Big Pooh matched a smooth Southern drawl with up-North smarts. Like their influences in the Native Tongues family, the trio cast a clever eye over music and culture, sniffing out hypocrisy and greed, then dismissing them with sparkling satires. The Minstrel Show presents more of the same, expanding the palette to a host of hot topics: R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" series, which gets skewered by the spot-on "Cheatin"; exploitative urban TV stations (the album's main concept); and even the need for brand-name clothes ("5th and Fashion"). And any fans who feared that 9th Wonder's success would lead to a diluted or overly polished record have nothing to worry about; awash in '70s soul and mellow, slapping beats, his productions make the message tracks carry just as well as the humorous material. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

- This album is so well balanced it's beyond words, the beats knock, the lyrics is hot - what more can you ask for in a hip hop album. It's got a nice feel good vibe to it, definitely the groups best album (and all they joints is hot), just listen and let it blow your mind. I'll be bumping this right into old age in my solar powered rocket scooter chair. If ya ain't got it, your cheatin' ya self of some good music.

- To me, this is their best album out of many good ones. Phonte is a beast and Big Pooh is definitely holding his own and to top it off you got production by 9th Wonder. If this album isn't part of your heavy rotation collection you may need to seek immediate medical attention!!!
