Sadness & Reflection: A Soul-Baring Conversation with Phonte
You’ve been in the entertainment business for so long, what does success mean to you now?
Success at the point, in 2018, is still having an audience. Still having people willing to listen. I had a cat reach out to me on Twitter and he was like, "Yeah so, I logged into Spotify and I changed my VPN to a foreign country because albums drop earlier in foreign countries so I was able to listen to your album, this shyt is dope man, keep bangin'." So 10-15 years ago, the thought of someone “bootlegging” your shyt is "Aw that’s fukked up," you’d be feeling mad. And now it’s just like, this dude, in a world where we have 700 channels, Netflix, Hulu, fukkin’ Amazon Prime, and access to damn near every song in recording music, took time out his day to nikka rig his Spotify to listen to my shyt. That means a lot. Maybe that’s the new “Going to the record store,” I don’t know!
Which one of y'all was this that hit up Tay on Twitter?
Or is phonte a coli breh on the low?
That militant with 2 white girls line was lookin a lil too familiar

This was really good...real, real good...
Played it while being pissed off...helped me calm down (for the most part).

You're doing yourself a massive disservice. The Minstrel Show is probably my favorite album of all time. I could listen to that everyday

*Raises hand* twas I. Not sure if anyone else did. But I definitely hit him up last Friday early afternoon and told him how I listened already and how nice the album was.

Dope as fukk but it comes off as a continuation of the themes he touched on, on the last album.
This is where Hip-Hop artist's should be post their 20's. When you're in the middle of your 30's or 40's and you're dealing with the realities of aging (parents dying, children growing older, retirement, career progression etc.) You should be writing songs that reflect this.
Phonte's continued maturity as an artist has been awesome and is a glimpse into what Hip-Hop ( and really R&B...) could be.
There's a ton of Jazz on this album and it flows very smoothly into the production. Awesome Synths and banging drums with Harmony fit for Contemporary Jazz. In some ways it's more reminiscent of Neo-Soul than full on Hip-Hop.
Great album, I've only listened once and I want to go back !!!

“Cry No More” is one of the most humanizing, honest, heartfelt songs about growing into your 30s and dealing with what can accompany that.
Gem of the album, imo.
Solid album.

Neva missin a beat
This is EXACTLY what I wanted to hear from Phonte. Introspective lyrics, real grown man shyt I can relate to. Knew how this album was going to be and it was everything I expected. The only flaw I saw personally about this album is that it being short. As for the beats I could take em or leave em. I always thought whatever he would be rhyming over, lyrically, was gonna be dope, just one of those type of artists who grabbed my ear like that.
Album made you wanna hear more about his take on other issues. Glad he made another album for us to marinate on when he didn't have to, like he said...."Until we meet again..."
Dope album. Been putting my older family members and potnas on this album, they love it.
