Little Brother Interview: Less workin with 9th Wonder and Phonte's Foreign Exchange 2

Re: Little Brother Interview: Less workin with 9th Wonder and Phonte's Foreign Exchan

Lyricly I think pooh has grown but still a huge difference with phonte's content and pooh's. I was glad to see on the Get Back that there was less silly ass skits. I think you start to doubt there skills. (The eninem effect)

Lets hope this new foreign exchange is as good as the first.

Re: Little Brother

I have been a fan of them since i hear the listening. They are definitely the one of the best live shows I've seen (up there with Jill, Dwele, and Common). If you get a chance, try to catch them.
 
Re: Little Brother

HFUNK, please repost the tour dates for when I get back from work, man.

Much props to these cats.

Tay, if you're lurking, you guys gonna get my money each time you (JL) drop. I have not been dissapointed yet.

:dance:
 
Re: Little Brother

I love Little Brother, yes I do. But OUTKAST is the best to EVER, and I mean EVER come out of the south.

yeah, bruh, you pushing on that one--plus I think NC woulda called itself east coast before Master P came out (96 era), but I like LB's (like their sound better with 9th)--i think Minstrel Show and the Listening were classics, but wouldn't call Foreign Exchange one

It's tough to compare anyone to OUTKAST. They've been in the game for well over a decade now ... and are ELITE status. Award-winners ... tens of millions of albums sold ... hell ... Grammy Award winners (ALBUM OF THE YEAR) status right there.

Not to many groups (any decade of hiphop) are fuckin' with Patton and Benjamin. They cemented their status in the game quite awhile ago.

Co-sign, bro.

I'm all for artists' going with CONCEPTUALLY-BASED albums (as did LB in 2005 with The Minstrel Show and other projects of theirs). But skits have never been to my liking from any artist.

I can't stand albums that are 18 - 22 "tracks" deep with 4 - 6 of them things being skits/interludes. 1 or 2 is ok ... but so many OTHER artists between 1993/1994 - 2007 (and ongoing) (have) go(ne) overboard with shit.
 
Re: Little Brother Interview: Less workin with 9th Wonder and Phonte's Foreign Exchan



How much outside production is on Getback?

About 90%. Khrysis did a couple joints. That’s the home team. 9th still has one on the record. Illmind did a couple joints. We consider him on the home team too because we’ve been working with him for years. Then we have the outside production. Outside of 9th, Khrysis and Illmind, the outside producers have about 40% of the tracks.

Why is 9th only on one track on Getback?

It’s a couple different things. You’ve got a group that grew apart musically. Me and ‘Te, we do everything together. We tour together and we do interviews together for the most part. Everything with the group, we do together. 9th has his own schedule. He’s DJ’ing, working on his own projects and teaching. We all knew there was going to come a point and time when he would relinquish some of the production duties. We knew he wasn’t always going to do every album. But we didn’t know it would reach this point until we got there.

For this album, me and ‘Te had a particular sound we were looking for, and what he had just wasn’t it. We got the album we want to make in our head and I know 9th is in the group, but if he can’t meet us here, then the only thing left for us to do is to go outside and find somebody to get us where we need to be. We just opened up the producer floodgates and whoever comes with it is going to be the ones on the album, whether you’re superproducer of the year or you’re beating buckets on the corner. I don’t care who you are. If you’ve got what we’re looking for, we’re going to work with you. For the most part, 9th didn’t have what we were looking for.

How did not working with 9th on Getback change the chemistry of the group?

The chemistry hasn’t changed. That’s the thing that people don’t realize. When you’re on the outside, you don’t know. The only album that 9th was there to see all the way through from conception to recording to post-production to whatever was The Listening. On The Minstrel Show, he didn’t hear stuff until it was done. The recording team is me, ‘Te and Khrysis. The process is he gives us a beat-CD, he lets us choose what we do, we record it and it’s done.

The chemistry is going to be there because the chemistry is me and ‘Te. When you got me and ‘Te, you get the chemistry. A lot of people don’t realize that. A lot of people think this isn’t going to be as good because he’s not there. He didn’t hear Separate but Equal until it was done and he didn’t hear the Chitlin Circuit 1.5 or The Minstrel Show for the most part until it was done. The chemistry is with me, ‘Te and Khrysis and that chemistry hasn’t changed. In the essence of a true producer, ‘Te has been the producer behind Little Brother. 9th was the beat-maker for Little Brother, except for The Listening, where they both were. In the true sense of the producer, ‘Te did The Minstrel Show and Chitlin Circuit 1.5. As long as me and ‘Te are rocking, the chemistry is always going to be there.

Does 9th get more involved in his outside projects than Little Brother’s projects?

I can’t speak on his other projects. I know he was very involved in the last two Murs projects. As far as his other projects, you would have to ask those particular artists. It’s just that with me and ‘Te, we know what we want to do, we know where we want to go and we know how we want to sound. When Khrysis ended up recording most of The Minstrel Show, we developed a rapport in the studio and that’s how it’s been. 9th recorded the first couple tracks for The Minstrel Show. He did “Beautiful Morning” and “Lovin’ It.” Then Khrysis came in and did the rest. Khrysis did my album and Getback. We build a rapport with Khrysis and that’s how it’s been. 9th lets us pick the beats we want.

Is it possible for Khrysis to be a new member of Little Brother?

Nah. We’re not going to add any new members to Little Brother. But when you think of Little Brother, you have to think of Little Brother as an entity. We’re not just a group anymore. Little Brother Studio is me, ‘Te and Khrysis. Little Brother Stage is me, ‘Te and Flash. For the business you have to add Dho. The constant is always me and ‘Te.


Does Atlantic believe in Little Brother?

That’s a good question. You’ll have to ask Atlantic. I know there are people in Atlantic who support Little Brother and hold us down heavy, but as an overall company, I don’t think they do. You can tell by some of the things that go on at the label. It’s just like, Huh? Are we even on this motherfucker? We’ll see with this record. I think this will be the one. This record will really be the one that will give us that real insight on if they believe in us or if they don’t. There were a lot of fumbles on the first record. We walked away from that experience like, They don’t believe in niggas. It’s obvious they don’t.

They’re giving us another shot and we’re giving them another shot. Once this record plays out, we’ll see if it’s really there. There are artists over there that they give the world to and they’re still not selling shit. They’re not giving us anything and we went on word of mouth and fans we already had and we sold about 85-90,000. It ain’t shit in the world of selling music, but when the label hasn’t supported you worth a damn, that’s a whole lot of motherfucking records. That’s like we came out independent again. We’ll see with this record. Getback is going to tell us a whole lot of things. The Minstrel Show told us a whole lot of shit about a whole lot of people. Getback is going to really make everything clear.
