    Phonte is unbelievable. I mean, wow. Elite emcee, elite songwriter. Take Off The Blues is perfect. The Listening is perfect.

    Phonte Coleman is easily the hardest emcees to ascend out of N.C. and the genre period. Pooh is a giant in his own right. While I see the growth for these two I don’t see that with 9th so much. May the Lord Watch is a classic

  • @herabeatz3171

    my favorite rap group of all time, Phonte is criminally underated.

  • @lamontwalkin2960

    Firstly LB is 1 of my all time favorite groups period! I l discovered them during my senior year in high school back in 05. Coming across The Listening, which was released 2 years prior. As a graduation gift in 05. I received Chitlin Circuit 1.5 from a friend of mine. Instantly became my favorite mixtape of all time! I always treated that mixtape more like an album. Simple because it was put out like 1. The songs had remixes of course. But none of the beats were recycled beats from other producers. It was mainly in-house excluding Illmind. Which was also, low key responsible for that LB sound. And 2, it was purchased from a music store (Sam Goody) 😂 I’m showing my age. Anyway. That “mixtape ” is my favorite album, with the listening and the minstrel show coming really close to it. 1 thing you missed which also is a top favorite of mine from them. Was Separate But Equal mixtape with DJ Drama! How’d you miss that!? That was the 1 mixtape that turned heads! Even for the “industry”. Drama was doing something totally different and still they all made as Gem 💎 with that. Anyway. Dope vid. Can’t wait until the official documentary is put out by Phonte himself. 🔥

    Shouts from CT. Your song I'm loving it made me an instant fan. Foreign Exchange. Beautiful work

  • @Lorenzo-py5hs

    The Minstrel Show is still one of my favorite albums, the realism in the rhymes, the soulfulness of it makes it so timeless for me

    Yooo I love little brother ❤❤❤ I listen to the listening every week and they’re the only “old” rappers I listen to.

    First off great vid. I've been listening to little brother since 2004. A friend of mine introduced them to me. Important to note that I feel they flipped the script for southern hip hop. I feel southern hip hop has been pigeon hold to certain sound and little brother said were going to do our own thing. I fell they also may have paved the way for j cole. Also I really hope to see a full little brother reunion in the future.

  • @MrMaw24

    Phonte hands down best and my favorite mc of all time checks all the boxes and lyrics are timeless. The listening will forever be a classic

    I've been a fan of the whole Justus League since the early 2000s. Also a native NC resident, I watched them be systematically suppressed for the "dumbing down" of black culture. While Phonte is one of the greatest rappers of our time, other members like Median and definitely L.E.G.A.C.Y. should have ended up in serious GOAT status conversations. Listen to S.O.S., King of NC, Dirty Bomb, Nice, Comfortable, What it is w/ Edgar Allen Poe, Pardon Me Dude, Visionary, ...etc, and tell me anything different.

    This was a really great video! I've been a Little Brother fan ever since I was a senior in college. Which was 20 years ago! That makes me feel so old lol. I just love what you're doing with this channel. Your videos are definitely the kinda content that I like to watch on the days when I'm not creating content.
