Little Brother question

[Little Skittle]

Is "The Listening" as good as "The Minstrel Show"? Only recently did I check out Little Brother and I think The Minstrel Show is amazing. Should I check out The Listening? What about Chitlen Circuit?

"The Listening" is very different than "The Minstrle Show." The difference is drastic. "The Listening" is fucking amazing. Pick it up, you won't be disappointed.

There are no stylistic differences. Content-wise, on the first album they were rapping about trying to make it, on the second one they were rapping about making it.

Some people will think one is better than the other. You won't find a big group of people that will all agree on one album. I thought The Listening was a great album, but when I heard The Minstrel Show ..well I loved it. I think the overall sound is better. The Listening is much more laid back and shit.

Man I wanna hear the Minstril Show. Still have not got a chance to check that out.

I enjoy the Listening alot more, but you should definitly try and check out all of their albums even the chitlin circuit had some gems.

If you like "The Minstrel Show" than you will like "The Listening" even though they are very different.

i have the minstrel show and the chitlin circuit, and they are both VERY good albums. the first track off of the chitlin circuit, "War", is one of my favorite songs in recent years. ive been looking for the listening, but i cant find it anywhere

Not to be a dick or anything but to the dude above me, kman_69, the Foreign Exchange album isn't produced by 9th. It is Phonte and a Dutch producer named Nicolay.

The Listening is a classic.

The Minstrel Show is a superb album.

Little Brother: Awesome. :thumb:

I think The Listening is a little better.

The Listening is better musically, Minstrel Show is better lyrically I'd say.

 

[Little Skittle]

i got the listening, and i must say its pretty damn good, but its not as good as the minstrel show
