Phonte one of the most underrated people in the whole game

[@361CustomRideScene]

FACTS

[@brianbrowne2969]

100 percent

[@brainfragrances]

Minstrel Show is one of the GOAT albums

[@BoguZzNL]

One of the very best Hip Hop albums of all time.

[@bigblu87caddy]

Phontiggaaaaaa

[@tishana2194]

I play "Lovin It" like it's brand new

[@yocampout]

One of the best best best ever. I STILL rock that album and the chitlin circuit.

[@topdawgfresh]

The Listening was dope too

[@briand1972bd]

So what you have here is an Artist who refuses to sacrifice the integrity of his art for fame and fortune. He would rather keep grinding and stay true to himself and his art. I respect the man to no end for that alone! There are artists like that in every genre, their music may not be to my taste, but they have my respect. In Country music, Alan Jackson was one of those who stayed true and had to grind for may years before he was finally recognized as a living legend and finally claimed the fame and fortune that he worked hard to deserve, so it might wind up being the same way for Phonte... Hopefully.

[@misterwoosah5862]

"Seems like whatever I do/ it's not enough for you. I paid the cost and gave you my all, but you still want more" Not ignored by this hip hop fan. Been a Little Brother fan since I first heard Watch Me.

[@AngelRivera-bs7uf]

I first heard Little Brother in 2003 when they dropped their album “ The Listening “ and was a fan ever since ! When you have 9th Wonder and Nicolay producing albums for you and Big Pooh and your right hand , you can’t go wrong ! Phonte has to be one of the most underrated rappers in today’s day. His flow and vocabulary is sick... one of my favorite rappers of all time for sure ! Great video once again fellas ! You guys are the best !

[@joshuaparsons5179]

I don't understand why people would ignore this video. The whole point of the chanel is to look at everything, regardless of the genre.

[@helixdork]

I'm an old white guy, who has never really understood or listened to rap music. I've been watching your videos for a few months now, and although I'll probably not go buy a rap record, i think I'm getting a new appreciation, due mainly how you explain they lyrics. Thanks for your channel, and keep up the videos.

[@SolidSnake240]

mark copeland Thats dope that your open minded enough to check out a diff genre. Some suggestions i would make are Phonte, Little Brother, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, NaS, Kendrick Lamar, Joe Budden and Freddie Gibbs

[@helixdork]

Afro Shinobi thanks for the suggestions, I'll look them up sometime. I did see one rap group in concert once, public enemy, they opened for anthrax, it was interesting but really good

[@KeeganRobbins]

mark copeland Something that I explored musically that helped me gain a lot more appreciation for rap was to listen to some of the precursors - R&B and Funk. Gave me more history for where rap evolved from. Check out Parliament's album Mothership Connection and literally anything from Gil Scott Heron. That man was a damn poet.

[@helixdork]

Keegan R. Thanks for the tip, I'll definately check it out. I think parliment is that George Clinton guy, I think that was his name, I'll have to spend sometime listening to your suggestions.

[@beestonsteve]

Do you like bluegrass? Check out Gangstagrass, they combine rap and bluegrass, I find it easier to listen to than full in hip hop, plus they're amazing live

[@DannyGrc]

The Minstrel Show still one of my fav albums, the song cheatin’ still funny till this day lol

[@authorrobjohnson3178]

Danny G I'm torn between The Minstrel Show and The Listening.

[@SILLYSQUAREoo]

" I can't think of anything that rhymes with 15"

[@ARKHAMESCAPEEDCUO]

Phonte is dope man im really glad to see you guys sheading light on the more underground of the scene, ironically its usually where the great level talent is at. Ill put in a request for MF DOOM Accordion and Ka Cold Facts- other insane lyricists

[@cletusmandude1]

This whole album is badass grown man rap! I love it guys, I posted this album on social media a didn't get a single like or share, whats wrong with people.

[@Ashcrack1087]

It's a shame hip hop like this doesn't get much attention. Much love for doing a vid on Phonte. Keep keepin it real guys

[@Mr05Chuck]

Hey I made it all the way through a rap reaction. Guy was a deep end pool filled with sweet tea water. 64 year old white cowboy type dude, processing new information.

[@jesusloveskobe]

Yes let’s go. Bro Phonte been overlooked for so long

[@FroGamerX]

Didn't expect to see Phonte on here! Nice reaction as always guys!

[@afroandy2000]

Yes!! I love Phonte and this album. One of the most underrated rappers.

[@metalelitist4422]

Metal elitist here I really like this I'm new to rap but checking out your reactions learning how it all comes together this one so far is my favorite thanks for giving this a reaction on your Channel

[@eddied80]

Phonte is one of my favorite emcees! He definitely comes with the clever bars and doesn’t get near the respect he deserves!

[@BoguZzNL]

31 y/o white dude from The Netherlands and been listening to LB for years. Minstrel show is one of my all time fav albums. They always had the sickest samples. If you ever feel like doing a video on Little Brother, please do "Lovin' it".

[@josepena1130]

Never thought y’all would ever react to a phonte song. Glad I was wrong. Hella underrated.

[@wolfgang7350]

Phone and little brother are CLASSSSSSIIIIC

[@Kiamm]

Top notch lyricism, thanks for introducing me to such a great rapper

[@roymoss75]

Kiamm Ruurds they had a dozen dudes in the squad....they called themselves the Justus League....check em out. Plus Lil Brother & Phontes solo shit

[@authorrobjohnson3178]

Justus League was a pretty nice group.

[@kaigai-nikimajikoi325]

Oh Yeahhhh Phonte !!! Yeoooo he the Truth man and aside from the Hip-Hop too he is FIRE in the R&B side with The Foreign Exchange (which you should do a R&B reaction to) Bruh. He is one of the guys that NEEDS to be pushed to the front man. Just the whole package of COCAINA !!!!!! Dope stuff from Phonte and Big ups to Lost In Vegas for putting this treasure of music out man.

[@CrayzMark]

👏👏 First time hearing, but damn Phonte lyrically sound. Great breakdown of the song Ryan & George.

[@khalidsaleem7995]

I love this video so much because I've been waving the Phonte flag forever and it's good for people to give him the shine. Great show! You made me a fan of your show today!

[@TheCharlesAtoz]

I just appreciate you both for taking up this MANTLE! I am on this journey with you....UNBIASED.

[@bobbyjsmith1229]

You guys are the best for giving these artists who don't get no shine some light

[@jb_nemesis_6283]

Metal head right here!!! Lol y’all have me checking all types of stuff!!! Lol keep it up!

[@bassemchamseddine2867]

So glad you touched on a track from this project! I've been listening to it non-stop. Big ups!

[@AmaZment717]

Yeah man...Thanks for showing my man Phonte mad love...he's crazy talented and he can sing too...he did records with group called Foreign Exchange and sung on his own solo albums as well...great reaction...more people need to see this video and hear this brand of music!!

[@jmckenzie1099]

Been a fan of Phonte since Charity Starts at Home. Dope artist, keep pushin guys like him.

[@AmonRa1081]

THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH FOR THIS!! Phonte real made a great thought provoking, and soulful album. Can y'all do Skyzoo, or Evidence? Both have new projects out.

[@spicyboi137]

Thank you for reacting and deciphering lyrics that flew over my head. keep up the great content!

[@seanmcgee1875]

been listening LB since the listening! love this guy. And this breakdown was ridiculous, thanks guys!

[@Freedum_Fries]

im here for reactions and to learn about some new music. could care less about the views other than I'm happy more people are watching/Supporting you guys. Really hope you can React to this one day. Myles Kennedy: "Love Can Only Heal " - Live in Manchester (OFFICIAL VIDEO

[@tido7431]

Diggin your reactions. Real free thinkin. And stoked you pulled out PHONTE. Keep on keepin on...

[@DamienJemison]

I love Phonte and was happy to see someone hearing his bars for the first time. I listened to The Listening for years, 9ths production was so raw. Good times!

[@PLP4444]

Thank you guys for all you do...you have turned an old metalhead on to some new groups and provide a smile and anticipation several times per week...so thanks for slowing down the rat race for a little bit each day, we all really appreciate it!

[@thelitmango6333]

Thanks for reacting to him man!! I've been waiting to see him on your channel he's been slept on WAY too long.

[@danyelle.dixon.]

I was never much of a listener to hip hop or rap. But since finding y'alls channel it has changed my view. It's helped me to break down a song and to be open minded to not shut it out immediately. And this song was awesome.

[@PSE-dale1]

Big respect on this one, I watch you guys frequently, love those that not only love hip hop but actually understand hip hop in its many forms. Keep your ears open cause Carolina got some things coming within the next few years, we're just getting warm. Much Love & Respect.

[@the3whiteys]

Love watching any of your videos it really pushes my music library as far as possible #freethinkers

[@Rsoto9185]

One of the best breakdowns I've seen from you guys. Great vid

[@stotten70]

This is SO refreshing to hear somebody who can put words together that you can actually understand AND that slice to the bone! PLEASE keep highlighting rappers like this!!! Love the underground stuff!

[@dionnewillis1273]

Love the reactions! Phonte is everything...

[@jonesRG]

I've been a huge fan of Phonte for a lot of years, and have had this record in heavy rotation since the release date. But I really enjoyed your perspective on this. And your unbridled enthusiasm for it is infectious. Makes me want to sub and check out the rest of your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@myknificient]

Phonte been killin it for ages...been listenin since The Listening...

[@Capydachi]

Thank you guys and your channel so much, as a metalhead who also listened to late 80s and 90s rap/hip hop i thought rap was all but dead (to me) these days. But thanks to yall i have been seeing that great lyricists still exist and i have been learning about some great artists. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@tonytrujillo6633]

This took me back to the 90's, much love for spotlighting someone of his caliber

[@leandroreis7002]

Love how you guys give underrated artists a chance! Keep it up fellow free thinkers!

[@jguerra4452]

I watched this video when you first released it. As I was listening to this exact track I had to come back to your reaction. Thank you for giving Phonte the shine he's always deserved. Hope to see some more reaction from the likes of Little Brother and other unsung rap legends from the 2 of you.

[@thawolf5921]

Man I love this. The wordplay is beyond my comprehension. Thank you for breaking it down. Phonte has a new fan. Hope he is ok with metalheads.

[@EramShadow]

I respect y’all for showing love to Phonte and Little Brother. Peace and love the channel!

[@DaOBoyAKAMrBarz]

Phonte is one of my top 5 DOA! Super under appreciated!

[@ericconnor8251]

Cool. Never heard of Phonte before. Thanks for the reaction! And the cerebral lyrical analysis as usual.

[@Michael-wp2bp]

I like that you guys are passionate about lesser known and even new artists, legends!

[@narewatt08]

Never heard any of his work before. But I can definitely hear how he could influence so many of the big artists today. Right on for putting me on and for you guys doing you!!

[@yarbgreat1]

I'm glad you guys breakdown and explain lyrics so well. I'm used to just listening to music without paying too much attention to lyrics. I'd be dumbfounded if it wasn't for y'all 😁. It definately adds a new appreciation to songs for me.

[@36chambers.jake.87]

Ahhhhh Phonte. Thanks for doing this. Highly slept on.

[@kmmj912]

My goodness, my guy put his stamp on it and didn't let me down. Regardless of genre, you 2 genuinely kick unbias knowledge to those who are. Nothing but love for what ya'll do, keep it sharp.

[@anojane]

We appreciate that you two continue to make videos on people that you want to showcase. I have never heard of him, I love what I hear though.

[@matthewr7593]

Phonte is one of the all time greats! Little Brother, Foreign Exchange, solo, all incredible.

[@donutminion8881]

I loved this. I don't always check out these vids of artists I dont know because I don't know if it's rap, rock, or country. I prefer rap. But this guy is great, his lyrics caught me off guard, the best was hard and grindy, and his style went with it beautifully. Definitely can see myself checking out this guy more. It's great that you use your channel to shine light on some of these less popular artists. Thank you.

[@djb.8507]

Big up for this reaction love for your channel all the way from Seychelles. Rep real hiphop.

[@JohwellStCilienfilm]

Thank you!! Been saying this for years!! Phone is the truth and this track is honestly one of the illest hip hop song I have ever heard. Spread this!!

[@yazzur8304]

I'm so glad you did a reaction to one of his songs! I was actually thinking to myself that I'd be amazing if you reacted to this album throughout because I just know how much you'd like so many tracks.

[@nadrojekrubify]

Anytime you guys co-sign someone I'm going to make sure to tune in. Loved this and instantly added Phonte to my spotify.

[@alexthenugget3560]

I'm a simple man, I see Ryan & George and I like.

[@paulwilkerson100]

Downloaded the album! Thanks for introducing me to new music!

[@Rowan_C]

Thank you guys for consistently putting out great content. I enjoyed this more than expected. React to MF DOOM when you can. He's worth it- I promise! Thank you, guys

[@balognasandwich9]

glad your doing stuff you know we haven't heard, fresh to hear

[@BrewAndBiscuits]

wow never heard of this guy before, hes awesome! thanks for showing me a new artist to listen too

[@orngfisch1681]

Metal head here. Thanks for doing this video guys! Song was dope. I will definitely be checking out more from this artist.

[@tumadre5000]

phonte my favorite emcee and r&b singer

[@alexmackzie]

The first 5 seconds, you know it's gonna be good. Just a delight to listen to.

[@thedirtybird_11]

One of the best albums this year

[@Nick.Barnes]

This was a great listen, coming from the metal world i'm not always comfortable hearing these types of songs, but I really liked this one! Thanks

[@DABeardedHippy]

ayyyy phonte from little brother lets go this channel will always be the best reaction channel! keep it up yall I watch every video

[@Guitfiddlejase]

LOVE Phonte! Foreign Exchange..Little Brother..Zo!! all that! ..thanks for this Gentlemen..

[@FDGRonin]

Really good Rap is like poetry. Unfortunately I'm terrible at understanding poetry. I can hear the skill and I understand the complexity. This was really good, but it was a lot better with you guys explaining the meaning. Just learning that "bars" was lyrics helped a lot. Lots of respect for you guys.

[@pietrayday9915]

I can sympathize, FDGRonin - I think that's one of the difficulties I have in getting much out of rap music: I have no problem appreciating music, but I struggle with the poetry, and when I listen to metal, neofolk, punk, ska, deathrock, rockabilly, psychedelica, etc., I'm listening to the music first, and maybe visuals like the cover art second, and the poetry ultimately is something I get to last, on the rare occasion I end up curious about what the singer is screaming/yelling/whispering/mumbling/wailing about this time. (I think it explains to me what people mean when they almost always frown, look confused, and ask me how I understand what the singers in the music I listen to are saying, whether because of the distortion, singing style, or language: what the vocalists are saying is usually not a big concern to me when I first hear a song, or even through the first several listens, and what they are saying can sometimes even be a distraction from the music....)

[@mitchellnwabuogu3840]

Gentlemen, had to hit you both in the comments section. 100%✓ agree with your comments and rap passion about Phonte as a good rapper and the fact the he gave birth to some 90' rappers styles that no so original. To even begin to understand and appreciate the range of such a sick flow, you would had to have lived during that period or had an older brother or sister that was underground in hiphop. He has been an underground and legit lyrical rapper since time. I'm Hugh Masakela meets Mast Killa - just taking that there, I was like smiling and shaking my head in salute because I understood the size and weight of this one line. Watch Out! Thanks for posting

[@LoganVal215]

Had to revisit this in 2024!!

[@Comrade.Question]

Aww yeah Phonte Phontigga Phontiggalo! Little Brother is a pure distillation of hip hop I swear. You should react to something of theirs, could do almost anything off Chitlin Circuit that album is start to finish no filler. Maybe War? Thanks for spreading this man to new people!

[@javjorjos7880]

I recently subscribed and I’m so happy y’all did a review on Phonte, one of my favorite and most slept on MCs. This was was dope, but “Cry No More” is deep! I would love a reaction to that one.

[@TheKarret]

I appreciate you making vids like this; with metal, so many times, fans love to share this or that underground band, and if so-and-so is underrated, unheard of, whatever, metalheads are likely to share them like crazy, not just keep to the big, mainstream stuff. Finding new and possibly unheard of bands is like... a fun past time and shit. From my experience, metalheads often actively pursue the underground scenes and share the good shit they find with others who'll like it, too. The elitists take it too far when they act like they're allergic to mainstream shit, but the overall understanding I've known is don't shit on the underground, because good stuff brews and grows in there. I assumed the same shit happens in the hip hop world, but if it doesn't, or not to the degree that it does [or appears to] with metal folks, then it's really awesome of you guys to work on changing that. \m/ I also really like when you break down the lyrics so viewers [like me] can get a better grasp of the skill level involved in the writing and wordplay and shit.

[@HomesteadDork]

I enjoyed this song much more because you guys were explaining it to me than I would have if I had been listening to it on my own. High on Fire - The Black Plot

[@markclark6702]

First time i ever heard if this guy and well.... THANK YOU...got another one to check out

[@MrAuburn1000]

Good shit guys! I have never heard of him but he's nice thanks for the reaction!

[@mbro66]

I’m an +FEMusic, The Foreign Exchange Fanatic, everything this Bruh & Nicolay touches, turns to GOLD!!!!

[@xgreenevilx]

It's nice to get a break down of really complex lyrics that seem simple. Class is in session 😃Great video!

[@Thesnowleopard69]

I don't know what your vision for this channel is guys but THIS right here is why I personally subscribe. You two are both as you always say "students of the game" and to have a platform to pass that knowledge down is special. I'll follow this channels journey regardless but please don't let views be your North Star. Appreciate you guys.

[@Thesnowleopard69]

Also I'm ashamed to admit I'd never heard of Phonte however all I could think of this entire video was this Childish Gambino line, "Home is that Outkast, soul like I'm Phonte Old-school J's like Beyoncé's fiancé" 🤷‍♂️

[@joshr7357]

youre welcome for tuning in. I appreciated it. I liked what you said at 10:50

[@92jwiener]

I'm one of your rock/metal fans. I just came upon this video and damn this track is sick! That's just good, guys

[@maverick_javy_9136]

Thank you for this. Imma go back and listen to Chitlin Circuit right now🤙🏽

[@sigmundfreud2493]

You guys are the real deal right here. Never been a huge fan of rap, but you guys have opened my minds to lyrical geniuses! Im all about the substance and the message, and you guys do an amazing job of show casing that with all genres. Id love to see you guys venture into more Genres...Bluegrass(Greensky BlueGrass), Jazz, Reggae, Jambands. Keep it up Fellas.. I have watched every video since the 100K subscribers. REQUEST: Greensky Bluegrass: Windshield!!!

[@erikthomas9593]

Thanks guys, I have a new artist to add to my spotify and vibe out too. Keep doing your thing.

[@matthewonstott1304]

Hex One Where I’ll go I loved that you guys reviewed this artist I just found out about him myself and loved this album all the way through. And I couldn’t agree with you more these are the artist that need to be pushed and recognized. 👍🏻

[@teto6636]

Thank you for this. You guys have put me on some real shit.

[@brianmcdonald42]

Brilliant. Your breakdown of the lyrics is so excellent. I missed half of this on the first listen, so your explanations really made it work. Another one for the playlist. Thanks, guys. (Recommendation: Jolly's "Firewell")

[@5im5onic]

The whole album is dope! I love Phonte with The Foreign Exchange. Glad you're doing this.

[@juanabicknell5246]

I watch all your videos regardless! Regaardlesss!!!! No matter janra, yall have almost exact taste for music as i do so notification is an inmediate click. Saludos de Panama🇵🇦
