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

Yep I remember in an interview where Drake says Phonte is his favourite artist and how he inspired him, which one can clearly hear.

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

I am blessed to say that I grew up around Phonte's energy since we were children rapping in my parents home as teens as I spent wax instrumentals that He, Kieon, Ray, Dricie, etc. all rapped over and he never failed to deliver as a family member, as a friend, & in those musical moments. I'm very proud of your cousin... keep it going. "M!X$H!¥aH"

I was just bumping The listening in my headphones while mowing the lawn......i just remembered thats what their Justus League fan forum was called The Lawn.....timeless

@PhatsouL87 Год назад

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. 🔥

Little Brother is one of the greatest hip hop groups/duos of all time. Phonte & Big Pooh should get the same love and respect, that OutKast get's, but that's just my opinion.

@809max 9 месяцев назад

This group is legendary, I’m upset at myself for discovering them in 2017 . Watch me was the first song I’ve heard When that uhhh baby drop I was like ohhh shit ! And from there I was hook every little brother track is gold there is not a single song I don’t like . I don’t skip their intros every second is gold 🙏🏽

@johnconnor210 Год назад

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.

Don’t forget that there was the original version of “The Chittlin’ Circuit” that came out a year before the “1.5” version. I used to play that all the time until 1.5 came out.

@wj00312 Год назад

Agreed. I remember reading about it in XXL, which the mixtape garnered an "XXL" rating. I think that's when the hype really started to catch on. I was stationed in S. Korea at the time. I tracked down a copy and basically kept it on repeat. It's still heavy in my personal rotation. Too many classics.

@@wj00312 word. Both versions of The Chittlin’ Circuit got heavy play from me back then. Straight up classic.

@CheriZen Год назад

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.

@wj00312 Год назад

Median & L.E.G.A.C.Y. are underrated. I still listen to their albums.

@dlamini77 Год назад

Median's flow is unmatched. God itish!

@CheriZen Год назад

What's the worst thing about it was that, on some black culture stuff, it was our turn. We know what all the other groups of black people in America are about through their music. You know what Atlanta and Georgia rappers are about because of their era. We know what Miami about, because of people like Uncle Luke and Trick Daddy. They had their era, when they were popping and the best out there. We know what St Louis about. We know what Chicago about. We definitely know what NY and Philly and LA and Oakland about. I don't besmirch people like J Cole and DaBaby, but they don't really represent the average NC brother that was born and raised here, is like. Justus League would have done that. Even cat's like Joe Scudda was the real deal. It's tragic.

Ninth has become the top producer I hoped he would become, Phonte and Pooh are together again.

Though 9th is in my top 5 favorite producers. I wouldn’t accredit his problems with the group as “creative differences” it’s was more of an arrogance thing. After listening to countless interviews by Pooh and phonte it’s evident to say that. Which is also why it’s alleged that 9th won’t be in the upcoming LB Doc. Great video though brother.
