03/12/07 - Update On Little Brother & 9th Wonder

J-Banks · 03-12-2007, 10:43 AM

Maybe Durham, North Carolina's Little Brother should move to Philadelphia to learn about brotherly love. First MCs Phonte and Big Pooh announced they were parting ways with 9th Wonder, and now in recent interviews the two have been laying out criticisms for their former producer. They've been questioning his decision to work outside the group and the quality of his beats for LB's third effort, Getback. "The uniqueness of what he had was gone," Pooh told North Carolina's The Independent Weekly. 9th has kept quiet so far and didn't want to go into much detail with Mixtape Monday regarding the riff, which he instead described as a cordial split. But he did offer that the trio would work together on his solo debut album, The Wonder Years, set to be released this summer through Asylum Records, which he has a new deal with. "The thing about our uniqueness being gone, that's not only an LB thing. It's an accessibility thing."

9th explained that not everyone who knew of him through LB knew of his outside work, whether it was collabo projects — he's currently working on Buckshot and Jean Grae's new LPs — or his production work with Mary J. Blige. "Some people come up to me now still and are like, 'When did you do the project with Buckshot?' If you don't know about it, it doesn't exist."

Now 9th is balancing his project with teaching duties at his alma matter, North Carolina Central State, and production work with Erykah Badu, among others. "I been leaning toward R&B recently," the producer said. ...

Little Brother is a fantastic group and 9th Wonder is an incredible producer in my eyes when considering that he only uses Fruity Loops to compose his musical productions. I really hope they can sort out all of their differences for the Hip Hop world more than anything, because the music they produce is so organic, and incredibly on point on a regular, consistent basis. All the best to them, both Little Brother and 9th Wonder.

it's all about the money I think, I think that because 9th has his own deal now people are catching feelings, but I love LB though, but I think the whole split was wack and it certainly is not gonna help the sales of Getback

questioning his decision to work outside the group...?

That's like saying Phonte or Pooh can't feature on someone else's shit...

Can't front though, he did supply some better shit to Buckshot than the Minstrel Show...which had its fair share of heat though...
