Little Brother Speaks On Early Beginnings, 9th Wonder, Documentary + More

[@unclericky5850]

Their “The Minstrel Show” album was and is a CLASSIC! I still listen to it today!

[@Rico513]

A Top 50 Hip Hop album imo.

[@markdeejay86]

Indeed. This as well as The Listening.

[@TroubleOnTheWaters]

Same and Chitlin Circuit as well

[@Peetahpixxel]

Was listening earlier TODAY!!! Didn't even know this interview dropped!! I'm for this!

[@tamarapoindexter9482]

YEEES IT IS!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@kidkrypton6286]

Little brother one of the greatest hip hop groups ever

[@ItsjustKobe]

Phonte really does not get the flowers he deserves bro. Seriously one of my favorite rappers since a child. Charity starts at home is still something I listen to daily. God bless 🙏🏾

[@180ontheriseweightlosschan4]

Phonte is A GOAT

[@williamwaters3944]

“Can’t stop, won’t stop, bringing these F’s home on your report card!”. 😂😂😂 I love these dudes. Hip Hop personified, and some of the funniest skits I’ve ever listened to.

[@paceyourself5652]

Damn, never thought I’d see these two on here. The Listening and Minstrel Show raised me

[@chadalahio8266]

They were life soundtracks for me also. They represent the best memories of the early/mid 2000’s while life was actually f’d up.

[@SassyBitzz]

My mother put me and my siblings on to Little brother growing up and til this day I have them on my playlist ❤️ Godbless them all fr!

[@ImJustaWill]

The Minstrel Show is probably one of my top 10 favorite hip hop albums to listen to, all the way through.

[@BiGGCaiN24]

Big fan of Little Brother, their first two albums got ya boy thru college. I would play their albums and knock out a few writing assignments! Also that song Black Magic is a CLASSIC track they’ve made without 9th Wonder.

[@sparklecollins9618]

Me too!!!! The listening is my soundtrack

[@photoqueennyc]

Same! I was in my sophomore yr in a very yt private college, music kept me sane lol

[@DJKeytronikzTV]

Like I said before, Little Brother been more of a duo than a trio throughout their careers and we all got use to that

[@photoqueennyc]

I'll never forget finding them on myspace in 05 and falling in luv with their "the minstrel show" album so amazing! I was so happy to see them at the roots picnic last yr 🙌🏼🖤

[@irandleIV]

Killer Mike winning a Grammy for MICHAEL should motivate groups like this to put out new material.

[@rtwo4570]

Tay has been Grammy nominated.

[@wunderkyn]

@@rtwo4570Yup, for Foreign Exchange’s second album…which should won imo

[@silverwolf469]

Phonte's Last Day is one of my favorite tracks ever from Little Brother. Peace and blessings Kings 👑

[@368carameldelux]

Yes, yes..... Get your clothes and discount and dip!! 😅

[@EliteBlackSash]

“Atari” is still one of the greatest skits on a project ever lol. The RZA voice 😂 Phonte was a larger than life personality, man. One of Drake’s biggest influences, as well.. along with the Clipse. Phonte can really sing, the Foreign Exchange projects were fire too along with Little Brother

[@BryanFury85]

WestBubbleFuck, Ohio!

[@AndreRamoneMusic]

Legendary group; one of my all time favorites!

[@darkcocoakiss]

“At 5th & Fashion/betta call yo n*ggas!!” 😂😂😂 Great documentary! Salute to them! “Step My Game Up” is still one of favorite tracks! Great to see them on TBC! S/N: Phonte was an influence in the beginning of Drake’s career. Listen to “Think Good Thoughts”

[@TheeCheleMarie]

One of my favorite interludes!! I just got me a pair of Ma-No-Nos from them! 😂😂😂

[@Bawla187]

Watch the documentary people. They answer a lot of questions.

[@7evenZark7]

One of my all time favorite groups. You can put them up there with ATCQ and De La Soul. 🙌🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@gtt6943]

Greatest rap group that no one's heard of. Much respect to NC and real hip hop 💪🏾

[@HuntsvilleHomeGirl]

Charla: Will we ever get a Phonte, Pooh & 9th Wonder reunion? Them: Nah 😭😭 The way I died laughing. Dang! Not even trying to get our hopes up.🤣🤣 I deeply admire Little Brother and have enjoyed witnessing their evolution, both as individuals and as a collective.

[@edhat7529]

Lol. I did a rewind to that part about 10 times and knew how much they meant that. I'm a big fan of both LB and 9th. At first (as a fan), I wondered how production would be less 9th with LB. My gawd, how they KILLED IT since. LB is just an amazing group.

[@RuthIessVillain]

This dropping on my birthday is the best present I could've asked for! I love these brothers, man. All their music is timeless and stays in daily rotation. The Listening, The Chitlin Circuit, The Minstrel Show and May the Lord Watch are all classics in my opinion. With their recent appearances on MEO and TBC, the 2 singles they released late last year and the new one that just dropped with Focus... I really hope this means a new album is on the way but either way, Little Brother remains one of my favourite Hip Hop groups/duos and easily the best of their generation. Much love and respect.

[@Cjordanstudios]

NC salute!! Phonte...your favorite rapper's favorite rapper.

[@getyamindright210]

Top 3 rap duos of all time...big big big big fan of little brother. It was 2004 , i was living in san diego and going to mesa community College and this beautiful female in my nutrition class put me on to little brother. Been listening to them ever since. So underrated.

[@697red]

one of my FAVORITE hip hop groups of all time! I remember finding out about Little Brother in 2008 when I was going to school at Mesa Community College. Truly felt this music was for me and still feel that way when I listen to them. Can't wait for the next album. 9th is still my favorite DJ/ producer

An interview that there were only bout 6 total questions but everything was thoroughly expressed!! 🫡

[@rtwo4570]

You could tell it was appreciated.

[@bijounjordan3339]

Best Breakfast Club surprise. Y'all had me yelling in my car when this aired. These brothas represent everything people say has been lost in hip hop. Side note: On top of the documentary, go run and play May the Lord Watch the album. It fits right next to their classics, even without 9th.

[@kbop]

Beyond underrated, AND they pulled off the comeback album. That is not easy to do!

[@Pou1gie1]

@34:00 This is especially true of the entertainment industry. When I got out of film school and was interviewing with production companies one of the companies had me do an interview with 3 women producers and they asked me "Would you do anything for us?" I said, "No", immediately. They were in dead shock, especially 2 of them, and they told me I was the ONLY candidate who had said no out of hundreds. One of them said, "Why do you say you wouldn't do anything for us?" And I told them straight out that "anything" means "anything". I will not prostitute, buy drugs, etc. When you say "anything" it is literal. And when I went to film school I heard a few stories from fellow students who interned and worked with famous people and companies and they would be asked to buy drugs (one friend said this of Miramax) or procure or personally provide sexual services (heard this about a famous director who still hasn't been outed by Me Too movement). When the dude on that doc about the FYRE FESTIVAL says he would have offered fell@cio -- he wasn't playing! That's how these industries can be. It's very scary. Also, this is why Me Too was a movement that rocked the entertainment industry.
