CD Reviews
Pick This Up Instead Of The Carter 3
Derrick Dunn | Woodbridge,VA | 06/11/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)
"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."

And Justus for All

"Whats really weird is that I actually like this album/mixtape better than their last album. This offering reminded me of why I fell in love with Little Brother's music in the first place. The beats are crisp as ever, and the lyrics of these 2 rappers gets tighter and tighter. Phonte & Rapper Pooh are the only lyricists I've heard on the same track with Little Wayne, that made Lil Wayne sound em.....LITTLE (no disrespect intended). From start to finish one of those albums I listen to that helps revive my faith in hip hop. They'll always get my $13.99. They have quickly become one of those groups that I automatically support."
Good addition to the LB collection but not as strong as prev

"This disk is great. But it seems more like a collection of songs that were excluded from their previous releases. This is definitely a must have for any LB fan. However, this can't compare to "The Listening" or the latest effort "GetBack". Still worth picking up though."
