The subject of our first album review is Little Brother's "The Minstrel Show." That's why!

Y'all... There is so much to unpack with this album. We talk about Spike Lee and satire, fanboy over 9th Wonder's drums and drum patterns, and discuss whether or not Big Pooh is genuinely the weakest link on this project.
