Top 100 Albums of All Time - Day 73

Little Brother-The Minstrel Show

Neither, just short of it. I'm actually starting to feel Getback more than this one.

I really like the album but i can't put it in the top 100.

Right outside my top 100 albums of all-time

now put up Chittlin Circuit 1.5 and we've got a match...lol

Not for you huh Terry??

I hear ya mayne...but that album is one of my favorite of all-time...in my top 100 easily...probably like in the 90-100 range...it's completely bangin from front to back with not one skip track IMO!

I like Chitlin Circuit, but i definitely like The Listening and The Minstrel Show more.

Outside of the debut, not a whole lot that they have done is worth a top anything. No album with Big Pooh or Joe Scudda on it is...

I'm glad the buzz is dead so that people can actually see them for what they are now: Two average emcees that were held up by a great producer.

Love that first album. The rest are cool, but they're not exactly required listening.

Those are my thoughts on Little Sister, also.

Oh how i wish M. Smith were here now.

This is my favorite LB album, but it's a neither for me.

The Minstrel Show SMASHES Getback like an Idaho potato!!!! I could see someone diggin The Listening more, but not Getback.

I'll say Top 75 for this album, not far from my Top 50. It's my fav from them and easily one of the best post-2000 albums.

BTW, wasn't Chitlin Circuit basically remixed tracks from the Listening with some other ones?

Yeah KJ Chitlin Circuit was a bunch of remixes and material that wasn't used for the first one nor The Minstrel Show...kinda like their version of The Lost Tapes...

Chitlin Circuit was their best effort IMO...that shit showed to me that Phonte was not your average emcee..

The Minstrel Show while good does have a few skip tracks for me man! but it is worth 4.5 stars IMO!

cosign every one of Terry's posts

Really liked this album. I could see it being top 100.

Cosign. I like it a touch more than The Listening. Mostly for 9th's beats. It's close...
