The Minstrel Show

The most important rap group of the 2000s underground. Phonte, Big Pooh, and 9th Wonder created emotionally resonant, musically sophisticated hip-hop that stood as a rebuke to commercial rap.

Review

A brilliant concept album satirizing the state of Black entertainment. Phonte and Big Pooh's lyricism over 9th Wonder's warm soul samples was underground hip-hop perfection.
