Little Brother - The Listening Deluxe Edition (43 tracks)

[Brandwin]

Petey Pablo destroyed it for everyone here. Not to knock Petey, but a lot of artists from here weren't doing what he did..

Bring the hot sauce dog this is hella proper
Cats heard Petey one time now everybody think we wave our shirts like helecopters.

Atari 2600 is my shyt lol.. I remember when I first heard these guys I was proud of someone being from NC once again bringing lyricism back to the game. Petey Pablo destroyed it for everyone here. Not to knock Petey, but a lot of artists from here weren't doing what he did. Supastition, Little Brother, the whole Justus League, and other affiliates are dope.. If I remember correctly, Atari 2600 was available as a 45 from HIPHOP SITE. It was a part of that compilation in which Phonte was imitating multiple rappers.

I’m a big JL fan but I don’t think Petey had any bearing on their success bc the Carolinas didn’t really support their local acts like that… also, the production didn’t really reflect the southern culture… a lot Of music being played out of cars, clubs and functions. Plus they weee jocking NY a little too hard… throw an 808 in there instead of those punching bag snares

 

[Izanami]

One of my favorite albums of all time

Holy shyt how am I just now seeing this

@TheDarceKnight you should've @'d me man.

This will be my 4th time buying this album and I regret nothing.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

That formulaic, soullesss trap/drill production of today cant hold a candle to this

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Those instrumentals been available since like 2005. I assumed majority had already had these, I guess not.

I'm definitely out of the loop because I would have BEEN bumpin this

Am I the only one who thinks alot of 9th's beats on The Listening didn't really sound like his other beats that were released around that same time period? Early-mid 00s 9th is my favorite 9th Wonder era so this isn't a negative, but we kinda knew what we were getting. The Listening and to a similar extent The Minstrel Show really stood out from his other produced albums by how different the beats were.

Maybe it was because I was listening to do much Justus League around that time, but it was the complete opposite fire me. I could instantly identify a 9th track when I heard those chopped soul samples and those same drums. Maybe he diversified it a little more as he started working with artist outside their camp. I didn't check out a bunch of the other stuff he did, like the albums with Murs and Buckshot so I can't speak much on those.

His work with Buckshot is dope! Chemistry and The Formula were nice.. I agree with what you said though.

I'm saying the opposite, the LB beats were more diversified than the tracks he made working with other folks. Joints that sounded like Nighttime Maneuvers and The Get Up It were unique to LB.

Now this I can understand. Especially those 2 beats specifically. I just had to go and check after you pointed it out. Wikipedia has Eccentric as the producer for the Get Up. That one definitely stands out.
