About Dead End Hip Hop:
No scripts. It's pure unfiltered hip hop conversations and album reviews. No politics. No BS. We Are The People. - Hudba
Phonte in an interview said that they killed off Percy cause someone's death is what normally brings people back together after a long separation
Only Phonte can make the death of Percy Miracles seem deep!
Little Brother is criminally slept on. Always have been.
Facts
Right!!
Bruh feefo slid out his damn chair lmfao 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Lmao
I've been fiendin' for this review like it was a Popeyes chicken sammich. RIP Percy Miracles
Na fuck that man he owe me money
I swear to God he made a pass at my wife at the Christmas party last year
Tone Riggz Same.
This album picks up RIGHT where the Minstrel Show left off. I agree with Myke...you could have called this Minstrel Show 2. It’s a phenomenal album. Great lyricism & great beats. Easily one of the best albums of 2019 and my personal favorite.
And yes...I DID listen to it 7 straight times 🤣
Prep's Casket Yoooo! What’s good, man? It’s been a minute. I was on DES 2 weeks ago. I’ll be back on again soon.
That's wild bro. Only album I've done anything close to that with was Awaken My Love.
"Dope beats, dope rhymes..this hip-hop aint really that hard man". They really reminded us of that with this project
StupidIsAsStupidDoe2 Another dope joint
Julz Phonte told us!!! LoL
Man, so glad you fellas loved this album as much as i did. You turned me on to Phonte and LB, for which I am ever grateful. As a 46 y/o guy in Cape Town, South Africa, this album is everything I love about Hip Hop: Razor sharp lines delivered with a casual confidence, thought provoking themes and humor all packed in a crate of boom and bap (not the trap). This stuff is life, man. I don't even feel like I miss 9th on this - he may have laid out the roadmap, but Pooh and Phonte are simply taking it to familiar but different places. RIP Percy Miracles
We all know Phonte is a top 10 MC, but can we also talk about how slept on Pooh is? He’s just as great of a spitter as Phonte.
It’s OutKast-syndrome.
Pooh & Big Boi are Great emcees, but Phonte and 3stacks are better than great.
Big Boi syndrome
Big Boi and Pooh mad slept on.
@@PrimeraEspadaStark Big Boi is better than great too
I'm glad they reviewed this album. One of the best comeback albums of the decade and in the running for AOTY.
When y’all gonna review Rapsody Eve album?
Derrick Zorns that should come
Next forsure
Oh Yeah
It just dropped, give it time man!
They normally record 2 reviews at a time so I reckon either that or lost tapes 2 will come out in the next few days
@@l...m9415 They can skip a lost tapes 2 review. I loved that Little Brother and listened to it Tuesday-Friday when the Rapsody dropped...Eve is one of those albums that deserves to be talked about forever.
Didn't think you were gonna do this. Album is Incredible. Phonte should be in everybodies Top 5.
This Album Flowed Seamlessly....Every Skit Was Well Placed And The Beats DAMN!!!!
9th wasn't needed on this album. Khrysis, Nottz and Black Milk held it down.
According to Phonte during their interview with The Premium Pete Shiq, 9th was part of the album until some disagreements with his productions and etc.
Show*
Yeah he didnt got mad when phonte wanted to include outside producers on the album. Plus he didnt wanna tour again
I honestly thought the first Foreign Exchange album was some of Phonte’s best work, super slept on. Plus, he was rapping on that album, so the transition hadn’t fully been made yet.
That Rapping On "RAW" Classic
Some his best rapping
All love to 9th...he was not needed...at all. This album is Amazing 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 - The Source
I shed a tear when "Black Magic" dropped.
Benjamin Henderson same ✊🏿
Amazing soul food
One of the most cohesive projects all time no doubt
Myke the Kid C Town and crew back again!
What up y’all, great review, fire album. They said in an interview the reason they had references to a character dying in their skits was to simulate how people come together after awhile when there’s a death in the family; regardless of how long they’ve been apart, regardless of why they stopped speaking.
That's a result of the death of Phife dawg . Apparently after he passed away, it lead to Phonte and Pooh getting back to speaking terms because it made them realise how much they meant to each other.
Rap AOTY contender, this album is amazing.
Coincidence that Little Brother and Tribe both dropped some of the best comeback albums ever? I think not
I like to explain it like this: Weve all heard the term "fake deep". Phonte is real deep.
Great review fellas... Been waiting for this review to take place and hear your thoughts on it..
I’ve been waiting for this!
I was in the exact same boat as B. Before I played it, I was like "oh 9th ain't back with them" but once I played it I forgot he wasn't on it haha. AMAZING ALBUM!
Also I’m commenting as I go, and Mike was completely right about Nipsey and monetizing black death; Phonte said the exact same thing
Meh...
@Peruvian Leftist Fella it's just my opinion the whole profiting of black death is kinda a stretch
Man, Phonte been on my personal list for my favorite rappers of all time, and LB been on mine for groups. Plus, Tigallo is a real nice dude.
Dope Company Flow shirt. Ya'll need to do a "Funcrusher Plus'' classic album review.
This was a dope project. A lot of bangers on here and the skits are funny as all hell with my favorite being Dyanna save my life
This album was a vibe for the entire 37 minutes. Without question Little Brother came back with one of the best albums of 2019.
Really glad to see this from you guys. Been waiting for it 🙏🏾.
This album was fantastic. Easily one of my favorite albums of the year.
EDIT: By the way, are y’all gonna review that new Murs album “The Iliad is Dead & The Odyssey is Over”?? It’s really good. Even if you don’t review it, please listen to it.
I never see anyone talk about The Chittlin Circuit (both the original mixtape and the 1.5 release), it's a great in-between release of The Listening and The Minstrel Show and has some great tracks that easily fit with the songs of the albums it's sandwiched between. Welcome to Durham, Nobody Like Me, On the Way, Starvation, The Honorable, Take It There, Altitudes, I See Now, What You Do, Ladies' Jam, The Beginning, etc.
I’d put Chitlin Circuit 1.5 and Separate But Equal on par with any of their albums. Those were both phenomenal.
Starvation is my joint
You guys are forgetting about the Chitlin Circuit! That was a Classic as well, May the Lord Watch was damn near flawless.
Hearing this, I predict that the next album is gonna be with 9th producing every track. They said this isn't the last album they're doing. So let's see how long they keep it going for now that they're back together! I'm so excited!
When are people going to realize that Little brother is a modern day Tribe Called Quest.
That's why they're called "Little Brother". 😊
Right
Myke hit the nail on the head. 9th couldn't have offered anything much more to Little Brother than what they got for this album besides his name. This album was all them and THEY made it special. I was pleasantly surprised to press play and walk away with an AOTY quality album. I love it.
Thanks DEHH. I almost missed this album. Just learning about Little Brother now.
I love this review, been binging your videos the last few days and I feel a little embarrassed that I am only recently finding out about you guys.
Thank y'all for putting this out. I'm a huge Little Brother fan and to hear y'all talk about the album as hype as I felt about it was great. I agree that LB is very underrated and this album should be talked about more. I'm surprised Modest Media didn't feel it as much as everyone else.
Absolutely a great album indeed. Rapper & phonte was in they bag fasho. Love it 🔥🔥🔥
Except for Rod, you guys were in my head! I could even predict what lines from the album that you all said you liked. I'm so happy they did this. Waiting for the Rapsody review too cause I know yall got in the clip, ready to be released.
Mike is right!!! Ppl only want 9th’s name on the album. He was not needed. Good morning sunshine should be played everyday at 6am. 😃
That song is my shit to drive to work to.
I play this shit on the way to work, while I'm at work, AND on the way home lol. Im trying to ease up and get Rapsody new joint in my rotation (dope as hell too), but i can't stop listening to MTLW
I just listened to this project the other day. Such a 🔥 project. I hope we get another Little Brother project.
The album is dope, but a 9th Wonder track would have been the icing on the cake..
Let's not be greedy lol. It's coming I can almost guarantee it
Thank you 🙏🏾 Great review
Thanks for this review!!
This man feefo rolled on the floor😂😂
Huge fan of Phonte. Little Brother is one of my favorite groups, but I have to say, Big Pooh out rap Phonte on this project, and he should get more credit cause dude is a spitter.
I wouldn't say outrapped, but more like they were on par with each other
@@blodiaaa6990 Nah On More Than One Track RBP Definitely Got The Best Of Phontiggalo......
I AGREE On Some Tracks Pooh Outshined Phonte....Hell "Sleepers" To Me Is Leagues More Cohesive Than "Charity Starts At Home"......
@@fairplayterrific147 Sleepers is still a dope ass album
I don't know about that but I understand where you're going.
Man since 2006 I've been about LB. Need to give this one a listen asap!!
Feefo: Aight bro imma head out
I fux with y’all because y’all are honest and KNOW what good music sounds like. ✊🏽
I loved this album so much! It is my album of the year right now. I'll wait until the end of the year to finalize it tho
@Dead End Hip Hop Yo I tagged Pooh to this video. Definitely agree with a lot of the positive words on this review. I agree, sounds like the trilogy to "The Listening", and "The Minstrel Show". Not that Leftback and Getback weren't dope in they're own right, but when I think of Little Brother, I'm gonna always think of these 3 albums. Album of the year right now in my personal opinion. And knowing that this is after 9 years of being apart... I can't WAIT to hear whats next from Little Brother.
LB is one of my favorite groups. I didn't know they was back together. I was hyped to listen when this album dropped. Very dope
love this album and they're so underrated, i've listened to this album probably 70 times by now, and it still has great replay value, for any LB fans this is a breath of fresh air!!
Thanks for a great review!! It is 🔥and. I’m very proud!! #Mommatigallo
Yo Interms Of The Justus League Sound Why Folks Downplay Khrysis! He Was Just As Instrumental In The Sound From Little Brother To Chaundon Median Sean Boog And L.E.G.A.C.Y..........
ay yo y'all better drop this eve review soon. And this Little Brother album is fucking dope
I wasn’t expecting Myke to enjoy it moreso than Rod.
I feel like Ken and Rod misses the nostalgia of 9th being in LB and thats okay.
I disagree, lol but that’s okay.
PREACH
0:07
😂😂😂🤚🏻
Feefo was like “Ight, I’ma head out”.
Need that Rapsody review
I love how these dudes breakdown albums and point out the lyrics that some people might miss, and then you go back and listen to that verse and realize that that you got to do a lot of rewinding. Every album Little Brother made has been viewed as a top album by people who understand real Hip-Hop. Long live DEHH and Little Brother and real Hip-Hop.
I enjoy you guys' album reviews. I think 27 mins for one album review, you guys could cover a few more album releases or singles within 30 mins.
The Listening & The Minstrel Show will never be defeated.
I feel Rod is just nostalgic for the 3 man weave Little Brother (The Listening, Minstrel Show) so he feels odd listening to it without 9th. Ken is moreso just curious about what a 3 man reunion would be with 9th a part of it.
24:11 Ken: " I dont either i just wonder" hahahahaha.
Myke. That was my favorite big pooh line too.
You guys create great synergy, love the review, please get to the Skyzoo album Resiprocity... By the way , this little brother album was amazing to me as well. I couldn’t stop listening
Myke is sleeping on how significant 9th is as a producer.
modest media be saying some crazy shit sometimes
and why is kinge's ipad keep getting bigger?
@Peruvian Leftist Fella why not buy better glasses then?
It's not Ken is getting smaller
Since you guys mentioned 9th Wonder. Y'all going to review on him, Murs and Soul Council new album?
That album was dope as well. Plenty of good hip hop this year
@@anthonywilliams9415 man I agree and I usually dont dabble into too many rap albums but these releases this year have been really good, chill, and simple or in other words true hip hop music.
@@worldofcorn Facts
Bruhh the face made when myke disagreed with Rod lol
🗣RAPSODY REVIEW PLEASE👑
No one gonna talk about the "hard drive" bar... . Flames
I'm with the cameraman, it didn't hit hard like their classic albums the Listening, and the Minstrel Show, though I'm glad that it's good. We need more grown man Hip Hop music.
Wow. I have not heard Little Brother since Minstrel Show!
Uh The "Getback" & The "Leftback" You Must've Been Sleeping...... 😆
Props 2 Beezy 4 tha Marv Won shirt...that's true Detroit support...and a dope ass album. Lol.
To me this is the AOTY so far and it's not even close.
really better than bandana and the plugs i met
This ,Eve,Bandana,& Plugs I Met are up there
I understand that feeling but Dave's "PSYCHODRAMA", Benny Starr's "The Water Album", Freddy Gibbs & Madlib's "Bandana, SOL Development's "The SOL of Black Folk", and Your Old Droog's "Transportation" are definitely in the running.
@@darrylmiller9643 I appreciate you for this comment, two albums you mentioned I haven't heard of so it gives me something to check out.
@Eric Davis. I am not surprised at all. If it wasn't for DEHH I wouldn't have listened to Open Mike Eagle's Brick City Kids Still Daydream. I thought that album was amazing.
Even still there are so many albums that we might miss, so I constantly look for people's lists to see what I might have missed. Last year I had a solid list in my top ten that included Saba, Lupe, Benny, Phonte, and a couple others. Then out of nowhere I ran into an self titled album from Avantdale Bowling Club that destroyed my list.
I have given that album to people who have no desire to listen to hip-hop and they are amazed by the structure of the songs, the playing of the instruments, and the extremely mature storyline throughout the project.
I was hoping that DEHH would have reviewed it because I thought Myke, Ken, and the rest would have definitely had this album in their top ten. I thibk they didn't here it though.
That's the way it goes...so much music.
I wish that they dropped this on cd!!!
Surprised no one touched on the closing skit on picture this. That shiiiit had me dying!
This is why you lot are so great. Listened to the album and really enjoyed it but haven't necessarily gone back. But the way you are talking so passionately about it? I gotta go back and put some respect on it.
When me a pooh connect like wonder twins, active so many good quotable hard to say which I love, certified 5/5 stars.
I’m surprise myke was the only one who said sittin Alone
Maybe not the best, but my favorite album of the year by far... I think 9th not being on the album was a very solid decision production wise and for the perception of Te and Pooh's relationship... I feel like 9th's production still sounds as young as it did in 2005, just stronger, but I think that youthful production could have subtracted from the grown man bars they were spittin (nothing against 9th at all, he's still probably my favorite producer of all time) .. Its absolutely incredible that they didn't even speak to each other for 8.5 years and then after less than a year of working shit out they release an album of the year caliber project and arguably their second best album...
I've heard people say this is a bad year for hip hop, and every time I hear/read that I say they're nuts... Bandana, Eve, LB, Plugs I Met, Dreamville, 9th x Murs, etc.... All this year has done is weed out some of the fads of the past 3-4 years...
You could list great albums in years of past though, I feel that people say this year is bad because of the albums that should have been good but disappointed. Thankfully, LB did not follow that trend.
May The Lord Watch is a classic
Y’all HAVE TO review Listening and Minstrel Show
This album was amazing from top to bottom
Really glad I'm not the only one who thinks this album is fucking amazing
This shit still dope hit different holiday season Feefo was on point Phonte and big Pooh put they ass in the gumbo this shits amazing
Make sure y’all review that Skyzoo and Pete Rock project “Retropolitan please!!! Thanks in advance!!!
Agreed
Dumb question but @ 12:30 Myke is referring to the Minstrel Show when he is talking how Big Pooh wasn't being recognized after making one of the greatest rap albums of all time
I CAN SAFELY SAY lb HAS THE BEST DEBUT AND SOPHOMORE FOLLOWUP IN HIP HOP HISTORY
C'mon y'all, Rapper Big Pooh held it down as well.
@Romy Taylor Right?
What album is Myke referring to at 12:24 ? Is her referring to one of Big Pooh's solo albums or an LB project?
probably Minstrel Show.
I remember seeing little Brother at the El Rey Theatre in LA years ago and my girl was bitching so we left early, and soon as we walked outside we run into The Alchemist standing next to his car on the sidewalk right outside the venue.
Finally! Been saying Phonte made slept on and deserves to be everyone's top MC lists
When we gone get that port of Miami 2?
This album is amazing pick up where they left off dope project
As someone who hasn’t listened to this album yet, I have to ask this. As a comeback album, does it stand up to the last Tribe album? Because that Tribe album blew me away on first listen and was my AOTY that year.
yup better to me. it's on that level and beyond.
9th is happy with the Murs and Rapsody projects which are both just as dope as this Little Brother project I'm a huge fan of them as a whole and separately. I'm just happy to hear real hip hop music in a mainstream way again.
