“To me, ‘THE MINSTREL SHOW’ is ultimately about responsibility,” says emcee Phonte. “As rappers, we have to take responsibility for what we say, and for the images we portray to our people. If not, we’re doing essentially what minstrel shows did: perpetuating negative images and reinforcing those negative stereotypes.”

Producer 9th Wonder offers a different take on “THE MINSTREL SHOW” and its role in today’s hip-hop climate: “This album is basically us holding a mirror up to our community and saying, ‘Look what has happened to our art form, look how low our standards have dropped as far as what we accept as good music.’ If we can make people at least think about that, then we’ve done our job.”

“We knew we would probably make a lot of people mad,” says Rapper Big Pooh about the album’s controversial title. “That’s just the price you pay for taking a stand. There’s a lot of craziness in hip-hop right now, and hopefully with this album we can bring about some type of balance.”

i like this joint cat is reppin hard for NC,, carlonia cats should be proud..


NC radio down here is wack. I heard LB's single once on the radio n' dat was like 12 o' clock at night.

NC aint reppin' like they supposed to. Thats what dat song "Not Enough" is talkin' bout.

im in the same damn boat, strugglin' artist cuz NC dont support they own like errebody else. you can get more love outta state than u get in North Cak.
