I remember when I bought this CD from the now defunct Fatbeats store on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. I said to myself, this is some of the most amazing production I've ever heard. Almost 10 years later, and it's still bangin!
"i know i'm husky/chicks still love me" FACT. phonte is sexy. i went to see him & 9th & a bunch of jl a few months ago. when he came out i screamed like a fool lol
I remember my boyfriend at the time got mad at me and threaten to throw my Little Brother Listening cd out the window because I didn't play his demo more than this album hahaha
IF YOU LOVE HIP-HOP SUPPORT HIP-HOP. SEARCH “HIDEFINITION -I’M READY, YO!” AND HELP GET THIS TALENTED ARTIST GET THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES. THUMBS UP IF YOU’RE FEELING THIS!
@harleyattack If a Lil wayne fan heard this they would be life wtf? They don't know their music man. Just be happy that real hip hop heads understand the difference
@ChefRaekwon94 dude i just had an argumment with someone about that. he hasn't wrote after 500 degreez so he can remember things touring wayne is very intelligent and a very great person when you talk to him in interviews he isn't as commercial as you hear in music and when it comes to serious music wayne can be that mixtapes aren't serious with him nor commercial music.
I agree with him that if a Lil Wayne fan woulda heard this you would get a "wtf is this" from them. the reactions i get when i introduce a underground song to them all i get is "i like the beat" or "this song must be old... i never heard it before" but all of them in the end say "weak a** lyrics" because their's no drug references, ho's, or any of that.
i kno there's ppl like you that listen to both (don't kno how lol) but generally speaking...
There is a diffrent version of this track where they are the productions is the same but the verse's are sligty diffrent and the begginging of the track starts from low to loud that is the best version of this track by far!
A real man does not stress any woman.... Please stop gassing up these females, remember that the meek shall inherit the earth.. Those words are born literally.....
i bought this album when i was over in the states last summer in boston. you cannot find this album in amsterdam anywere !! $15 it cost me but it was worth every penny
kleva ya boi youtubes best at it again all haters foes no real friends little bit of ends to eat love women with beautiful feet plump toes plished like skittles all flavors taste sweet yea can't help it squirting on these tender roni's soles creamy dreamy but back to the flow went off track to get back on i am super strong super hulk
I'm getting this Album first thing tomorrow. It's been a while since I've just listened to two or three tracks on an album and want to run out and buy it. Are there similar artists someone on here could suggest?
"I'm so friggin' jealous of Little Brother. Hip-Hop the way I love it - tight beats & on point lyrics!... I made 4,887,234 people listen to 'Whatever You Say' at gunpoint & I don't even own a gun!"
heard about this thru research and word of mouth as well. really into backpack as of late.this is exactly the kind of stuff I like 2 hear! and the Eric B & Rakim reference @ the end was a nice touch!
everones talkin bout phonte's first verse and how it didnt rhyme but yo what you really need to admire is his second verse. that shit was magical. not only did he prove that he could rhyme, but he proved that at the time he was one, if the best mc on the planet.
First time I heard this song was with 9th wonder's remix. Heard this original a while after, but could never bump it like the remix... REAL SMOOTH beat, but 9th's remix fits the lyrics perfectly.
Unfortunately, he will not produce for any of the songs on the album, based off of the tracklist that was already provided. I was even shocked that Nicolay didn't produce a single track either.
They need to get back together. 9th said that if Phonte and Pooh would be down for a reunion he is all for it so hopefully they decide to do at least just one last collab so Hip-Hop can die peacefully...
the comedy behind it i was bumpin this track in my whip and the heads i had in the car were bashing it.. all i did was laugh and said stop listening to the radio and open your mind...
Very great song one of my favs! Btw, is that beat in the last section of this video an actual song? If so what's the name of it and by who? Please and thank you!
b-e-a-utiful. man i wish theyd play some like this on the radio instead of the mainstream shit i hear all the damn time that shit annoys the fuck out of me lol
god damn i wish more hip hop were like this for every one good crew you got like forty lil waynes love 9th phonte and big pooh all legends of the game
@Knowledg3X haha! in the 8 months since I last posted my comment, 2 uncles and 4 cousins of mine have tried to steal or bargain this album from me..it's that good.
