" 'The Listening' kinda brings me back to the days
when the 90's was poppin'. It's more realistic than
what im hearingtoday, and sounds like these guys
put a lot of work into it. I LOVE this album. Classic"

about Little Brother's "The Listening"

I gotta agree with the Chocolate Boy Wonder on this one. That album has so much flavor it's ridiculoid.......

I'm feelin' that Nighttime Maneuvers cut. I have yet to cop the album though.

The Listening is an undisputed classic. It reminds me of that mid-90's JayDee/Hi-Tek/No I.D. production, as well as Pete Rock, musically. The album has soooo much flavor. My joint is The Way You Do It. The acoustic guitar line in the opening and refrain is one thing, but I was totally fuckin' OPEN with the violin sample that plays the same line when the verses come in. FRESH. 9th Wonder is a force.

SWEET. Can't wait to rock the instrumental. I can't get over how fresh this album is. This record is what Common's Electric Circus (overrated) and The Roots' Phrenelogy (dismal) should have been.
