Little Brother - The Minstrel Show

Well reviewed and all but never regarded as a classic, I think is one of the greatest rap albums of all time. Not one great song especially at first listen but when you listen to the overall theme of the album and then disect it line by line it's great. Great commentary, good mix of punchiles (if you ego trip you just lose your luggage) and since 9th Wonder left the group they haven't been the same, the beats are fucking awesome. Since then they have just turned into music industry critics essentially. There isn't one track I could post that would blow anyone away but it comes together as something great when you get the jist of the group. College educated rappers without the stupidity of most every other rapper out there. Not that they are really backpack coffeehouse guys but you aren't going to find them talking about ridiculous shit that no one actually does. This album sold 30 thousand after being one of the most hyped albums of the year. Very sad. BET actually rejected their single from this because they felt it talked down on black people just because it made fun of the image that is projected out there. I'm to grown up to get mad about it now, haha, but it is fairly sad.

Listen to this.
