49th Best Hip-Hop Albums Of All Time: Little Brother - The Minstrel Show


WHY??? The 1st time I heard of little brother I thought they where from either Philly, New York or DC but these little brothers from North Cakalakey rep the south hard w/ an east coast flow & i can respect that. The wordplay & production (cant forget the humor) really is what makes this album great

Best Song: "Lovin It" of course this a such a soulful feel good track...(9th is the most impressive person on this track..."Dont Understand

Best Bar: "And I ain't worried about niggas bitin' Minstrel Show /They still teethin' off 'The Listening'" Hiding Place (Phonte)

Best Verse: Good Morning (Phonte)

Each day's another chance to do the things I could've
Done the day before, but I didn't and I known I should've
So I say a prayer for the gone for gooders
Who left this world, then kiss my girl "good mornin', shuga"
Another sunrise, and as much as I would love
To roll over on you I cannot do it because
The good Lord I prayed to him
And he said, "Niggaz is listening now"
So I better have something to say to 'em
So I'mma tell 'em how it went down, man
Doin' shows for free goin' outta town, man
The way I almost broke down and, got a 9 to 5
Cause I had more press than the soundscans
This is the price that I pay for this music
And every word that I write is a testament to it
And if I had to go back, I wouldn't change a thing
Wouldn't re-cut it, re-edit, or change a frame
'Cause it would not be fair, to turn my back on the struggle
When that exact same hustle got me here
Told niggaz for the getup, we three the hard way
And Broadway's the only place you'll ever throw a set up
Speechless is all you'd be if we ever met up
I survived far to much now to ever let up, motherfucker
