>Very dope...still rock it...and to me, still their most
>complete LP...
If I had to pick, this is probably it - though Minstrel Show and May The Lord Watch are right there. But The Listening was the first one and I was on it early thanks to this board (wasn’t posting yet, but lurking heavy) - felt like I lived that one and there’s just a special connection to it for me and probably many others on here both then and now.
Related - I saw LB perform in Durham this past spring and then saw Pooh, Phonte, and most of the Justus League in Raleigh at Pooh’s album release show/JL reunion show a few weeks ago. It was a great time seeing them perform in that intimate, gritty type setting at the Pour House in the area where it all started for them musically. Many there knew each other (I was visiting from Syracuse, NY) so it felt a bit like I was at a family reunion, and everybody was cool as hell and welcoming.
Met Pooh, Phonte, Edgar Allen Floe, Cesar Comanche, Sean Boog, Chaundon, Big Dho, LEGACY, and Median either before, during or after the show and talked to some of them quite a bit which was dope…been listening to their music for 20 years and JL is probably my favorite crew ever(they were the crew’s music that I grew up through many stages of life with) so it was dope to meet them and talk to them. Hell, at the end of the show Pooh was telling everyone to stick around to take some pictures and at some point when he was nearby and making his rounds he went out of his way to give me dap - I had his verse from “Doin’ Me” in my head so i wasn’t even going to bother him, lol. Good people….all of them.
That whole show really took me back to a time though, and part of that time included reading and learning about Little Brother on here and downloading those few tracks that were out there, and then trying to find the album when it dropped - so I figured I’d post about it here.
