classic. It actually took me a while to get into it back in the day, I preferred Minstrel show at first. But it’s their best work.

Classic. I listened to that album at a time when most rap shyt wasn't speaking to me. Lot of mainstream stuff was whatever to me at the time, and a lot of underground stuff was cool but not really "me" either. I loved the imperfections presented in that album. Where you could say yea I'm about the community but I'm still out here trying to get laid.

Haven't stopped playing this album, in 20 years.
I remember when this dropped, and it just took over my heavy rotation. Seriously refreshing to hear back then. It's one of those classics that people don’t speak about enough, even though it's untouchable. Much respect to LB for blessing us with this masterpiece back then. We needed this one.

Was a few years late to Little Brother, but their music was an integral part of my formative years in college. Climbing the bus with my Bluetooth headphones, lost in my own world, just playing this album over and over again.
u mad son?

I was still in school when I first heard this, it was a snow day and downloaded it at home. I'll never forget that day.

This is the peculiar thing about North Carolina.
Ski Beatz is from here too. Black Sheep has some history here.
We were never on any other style besides straight east coast Hip Hop in my experience in the cyphers, battles, and open mics across the state.
I feel that that aspect gets overlooked and we get associated with Dirty South. No disrespect to other styles of Hip Hop. I use the phrase Dirty South sometimes. But I'm way more East Coast than Southern style wise.

This is accurate.
If anyone spent time in NC in the 90s you would know, musically and style wise shyt skewed more East Coast than anything. It wasn't until No Limit/Cash Money blew up that cats got more on that down south vibe. I can't speak for Charlotte because I never spent any time there but Durham, Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston, etc. nikkas was on some straight east coast shyt riding around in Ac Legends listening to Mobb Deep, Cuban Linx and Clue tapes.
When I saw Petey Pablo come out I was like where the hell did that come from?
