That's like the Stray Cats complaining that the Radiohead audience is too dumb to understand their music !

Don't get it twisted....I understand how the 'concept' of Little Brother and/or "Minstrel Show" can be off putting and even intimidating to today's mainstream Black audience (three college educated niggas who ain't trappin and/or reppin one particular hood or housing project = The Cosby Show in the eyes of most niggas....real talk)......
I really wonder sometimes if my music is that 'intelligent' or are niggas just that dumb? (Or 'conditioned' to be a little more PC about it?)
I'mma keep doin' me and sadly assume the latter.
Blaming the audience for not being smart enough = Pathetic

Maybe the audience just didn't like them..?
Nah, I think Noz is probably correct that the audience's reaction didn't rise to the level of "dislike"--they were simply uninterested, in the way that rap concert audiences usually are towards music they don't know.
But the reason that nobody knows or cares to know Little Brother's music is that it's boring and anachronistic.
