The worst they can do is look confused, and stare at you like you're the only boca burger at a steak buffet.
an insult to boca burgers...
but seriously...it's been a loooooong time since i heard LB's first album (the only one i've heard) but i vaguely recall them actually understanding their fate as back-pack/boom bap/never gonna really be big in the skreeetz rappers. When did they get the gas head and think that they were actually gonna make it?
and shit like this:
I know me and Pooh don't have a 'leanwidditpeanutbutterandtaffy' song with its own accompanying dance
gets me so vexed. in my eyes LB is LCD rap, damn near making the same song with the same beat each time. and the irony of them thinking they are the under appreciated artists while making cookie cutter "golden age hip-hop" music is just kinda sad.

1). Boca Burgers? I-ight I guess. I'm more of a wildwood tofu dude myself
2). You would of thought Lil' Bro would of maybe gotten at least a head-nod AT BEST. Sucks for them and their place in the grand scheme of hip-hop.
3). I don't think they're that "golden age" sounding. I always thought they where more on the "Common/Roots" tip. I don't know, I haven't really checked their LP's.
4). Even though 9th's production can be a little repetive, you can say the same shit for a lot of the snap stuff that's dominating the radio right now. With the exception of "What you know" it all sounds the same.
5).I WANT TO KNOW WHAT BLACK SOULSTRUTTERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS[/b].

my beef with this is that while maybe D4L and Dem Franchise Boys have a similar sound to each other (circa '06), Lil' BroBro have a similar sound to Pete Rock & CL (circa '92).
i'm not sayin there isn't a market for nostalgic hip-hop, just like the garage rock/post punk bands today that make it "kinda" big. but to assume that there is something "wrong" with the crowd because they don't "get it" is pretty pathetic.

Word word I see, I see. I wonder if what Phonte (or was it Pooh?) was asking if there was something wrong in their taste in music or if he was really asking a bigger question.
He really should of just left the post to how bad the show was instead of attacking the audience. It just looks bad on his part, regardless if he's wrong or right. It just seems mad complain-y.

Of course you can--I don't think anybody would dispute that.
The difference is that dudes that make repetitive snap music are honest about what it is that they're doing/trying to do. And they don't think that they have some sort of a moral claim on a larger audience than the one that they have.
And, Young Phonics, please tell me that you don't think "What You Know" has anything to do with snap music.

the whole "should music have some morality" is like a 18 pager at best. I'm not even going to comment on it. Especially here.
I not a snap-ologist, I was more thinking more along the lines tempos of "southern tracks", but you're right it's missing the obvious "snap" snare.
To me LB have always sounded more like late 90s jay dee than pete rock.
WRONG! Jay Dee had more than one snare! LOL! HAAAAAAAAAAA
Plaese do not EVEN try to compare LB to ANYTHING Jay Dee related. Thank you.
I didn't say they were as good at all, I like Jay Dee and don't really fuck with little brother, but they certainly sound a lot more like they're going for his aesthetic than pete rock's.

This ain't that, though.
This ain't "Should music endeavor to have a moral dimension?"
This is "Do artists have a moral claim to an audience because they subscribe to an aesthetic that has become passe ?"
And the answer is obviously no. In fact, the question is so stupid that it's insulting.
Little Brother has exactly the audience that they deserve.
D4L and Dem Franchize Boyz are both 10 times better than Lil Brother.
Lil Brother does not even have their own dance. One of the dudes in the group doesnt even rap. They should be thankful that they still have a major label deal.
I think part of their confusion is that when they come to places like Los Angeles they sell out venues on multiple nights... Yet when they go back home and don't get a head nod, it's probably very unsettling to them. But again this was not their crowd. It would be similar to a D4L playing at an okayplayer/headwrap/neosoul show...
Hell yes. I was just talking aboujt teh creation of the okay player bords tonight and its terrible because its all weirdos and like youngsters that are like bitter at the age of 22.
I totally [email]knows@![/email] Unlike strutter and we's all have life wifes or we get mad pussy and we still angry and pussy and angsty like matrix shadwo.

real talk - and I think the clock is ticking on that status, too.
AND THEY ARE DOING OKAY AT THAT!!! DUDES ARE MAKING MONEY AND PEOPLE KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND THEY FUCKS WITH EM!
I just think bitching about hip hop is part of their marketing strategy.
A good friend of mine refers to crunk/snap music to GED rap.
