I've been a fan of Little Brother since the song Yo-Yo and unlike the garbage that is The Carter 3 this is real hip hop at it's finest. Even without the production of 9th Wonder, Big Pooh and Phonte display a lyrical hunger that harkens back to Brand Nubian and A Tribe Called Quest. All in all a fine CD that can take the place of The Carter 3 in my CD player any day.
