Análisis (en inglés) - :
Few groups earn a major-label contract based on their producer's merits, but when {$Little Brother} jumped to {@Atlantic} for their second full album, {^The Minstrel Show}, any cynic looking for a good reason would point to the increased profile of trackmaster {$9th Wonder} ({$Jay-Z}, {$Destiny's Child}). But it wasn't just {$9th Wonder} that made {$Little Brother}'s first album one of the best {\underground rap} debuts of the new millennium; rappers {$Phonte} and {$Big Pooh} matched a smooth Southern drawl with up-North smarts. Like their influences in the {$Native Tongues} family, the trio cast a clever eye over music and culture, sniffing out hypocrisy and greed, then dismissing them with sparkling satires. {^The Minstrel Show} presents more of the same, expanding the palette to a host of hot topics: {$R. Kelly}'s {&"Trapped in the Closet"} series, which gets skewered by the spot-on {&"Cheatin"}; exploitative urban TV stations (the album's main concept); and even the need for brand-name clothes ({&"5th and Fashion"}). And any fans who feared that {$9th Wonder}'s success would lead to a diluted or overly polished record have nothing to worry about; awash in '70s {\soul} and mellow, slapping beats, his productions make the message tracks carry just as well as the humorous material. [{^The Minstrel Show} also appeared in a clean version.] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
