Review

Uncut (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[They] break the Southern rap mould and poke gentle fun at the gaudy circus of contemporary hip hop without over righteousness."
Vibe (p.150) - 4 discs out of 5 -- "[A] sophomore effort exhibiting A Tribe Called Quest potential....As entertaining as it is sophisticated."

Title Note

Little Brother: Phonte, Big Pooh, 9th Wonder (rap vocals).

Additional personnel: Elzhi, YahZarah, Darien Brockington, Joe Scudda, Chaundon.

Recording information: Chopp Shopp, Durham, NC.

Bolstered by the high-profile work of DJ 9th Wonder (who produced albums for Destiny's Child and Jay-Z), Little Brother jumped to a major label for their sophomore release, MINSTREL SHOW. A loose concept album that satirizes television shows (the album cover looks like an issue of TV Guide), Little Brother's follow-up boasts all the smarts, mic skills, and superb 9th Wonder production of the debut--and then some. Like De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest before them, Little Brother has a message but knows how to groove, making MINSTREL SHOW a fine example of fun, well-crafted, highly conscious underground hip-hop.
