iTunes Review
Borrowing some conceptual inspiration from Spike Lee’s movie Bamboozled, North Carolina hip-hop trio Little Brother jump to a major label with The Minstrel Show. Rapper-producer 9th Wonder has garnered attention for his work with the likes of Jay-Z, but the group’s underground vision stands on its own here. Some incisively funny moments are among the highlights (the R. Kelly parody “Cheatin’” boasts a spot-on Ronald Isley imitation and a non-rhyme that may be the set’s best joke), but the three also bring earnest criticism of black culture, praise for romantic partners, and tales of the struggle toward recognition. The show-within-an-album conceit does break the fourth wall, allowing for Little Brother to dramatize all this within kicked-back tracks whose layers invite repeated listens.
Customer Reviews
Real Life Artisitic Hip-Hop
This cd is a true work of art... great writting ... great production ... great placement ... poor marketing.. EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS CD!!!!! and only true rap heads do. Keep it up "Carolina Agents". See yah at the Roxy in the ATL. --Big t 6'5"
Masterpiece
Though they aren't well know, they deserve every bit of good recognition they get. Believe me, if you don' t know Little Brother, you will hear more from them. DO NOT let this masterpiece slip past you. A must have for true rap fans.
Amazing
Definitely tops the Listening. Phonte and Big Pooh are great lyricists. 9th's produciton is crazy as usual. Cheatin is hilarious. All the songs are great. Buy this album.
