From Phonte’s Twitlonger:
This was recorded back in ’05-06 at Young Guru’s crib sometime after the release of The Minstrel Show.
This was intended for Leftback as an iTunes bonus track but we just got word today that @9thwondermusic doesn’t want us to use it for whatever reason, and that’s fine.
In any event, I’m not gonna let anything or anybody stop me from getting music to my fans. Fuck that.

9th being a little bitch
Foreal, this joint is dope too
dudes dont need to air out any issues. Its no ones business especially some net living armchair industry insiders. peace
This was always one of my favorite LB joints. So happy it is gonna finally see the light of day!
Im Not Really Feeling The Chorus.Beat Is MadNice Tho.
Niggas Gona Start Coming Wiff That LB Aint Shit Wiffout 9th Talk.Fallback Niggas…Illmind & Khrysis Go HARD!They Got More Range.
Their relationship with 9th is very much over then. A real shame
i agree with Dolo. i think Khrysis is way better than 9th
well like phonte said “they say the money change you, the money dont change you, it only makes you more of what you already are”, so apparently 9th has always been a bit of a prick. Shame.
I’d rather hear Phonte over Nicolay production anytime
why all u niggas hatin on 9th u seem to forget that khrysis beats used to sound just like 9ths and they 9th and little brother basically built the avenues for them to be heard on other peoples shit also we dont know non of these brothas so we cant say if there pricks dicks homos etc. plus him and khrysis still work together alot i think its just really him phonte that have problems from what i understand
this is sick. thanks for letting it fly phonte.
and i remember when michael jackson died 9th wonder was on twitter and said he wanted to let the hatchet go and reunite wit phonte & pooh and pooh was down for it but i dont think phonte was
phonte is whack…why they breakin up???so he can pursue a SOLO career?hahaha yeah right..SMH
It’s alright. as a LB fan, I’ve heard better.
JULIAN, they broke up in 2007!!! Get with the times! Phonte just got a Grammy nomination for his album “Leave it all Behind”. Get with the times man. Old news.
This track is too cold
More than likely its between just 9th and Phonte cause Pooh never really says much about 9th and like Analog said 9th still works with Khrysis. Its sad to see them go back n forth like this for whatever reason cause at their best nothing was better than a Dope 9th Beat & a Dope Phonte verse.
Tay’s verse is pretty genuine and te ME, completes the trio of bare naked and honest verses he’s done about women: Slow It Down, Breakin My Heart, and Star… Obviously, Starship, Nobody But You, etc. etc. are all about women, but these three songs are about us as men, and some of our hangups about women and relationships.
O.Me, I think a Phonte verse is always dope and a 9th beat is hot. Even though they aren’t together anymore, I still appreciate both of them as artists just as much as I ever did. For another vintage LB sounding joint you should check Pooh’s Rear View Mirror off Delightful Bars, produced by 9th Wonder. He touches on the split a little in that song.
I dont believe this shit….9th always said he’d be down for a reunion and on the old LB Mick Boogie tape Phonte & Pooh was sneak dissin 9th…and the fact that 9th is releasin music like crazy now? Phonte bullshit aint addin up
People hatin on 9th cause he’s one of the greatest producers of all time. Little brother (mostly phonte) are the one’s who broke it off with 9th when 9th wanted to have a career of his own and with LB but people trying to paint 9th as the one who got a big head. 9th being so huge and successful without little brother makes alot of little brother fans angry. It aint 9th’s fault he blew up. Blame phonte for getting the big head.
Same crap with Pete rock and cl smooth broke up. OH pete got a big head its his fault. J.dilla left slum village, oh DILLA got a big head. Its always the biggest stars fault in peoples minds.
Why is he hatin’ this joint is hot! Go LB
i think 9th personally was mad cause he wanted to make new stuff with LB and that was a no go for whatever reason but they are gonna release a ok song that didnt leave the cutting room floor as a bonus cut with him not in the group? i would say no 2
this joints dope but personally id prefer to hear lb rock over over productions nowadays cos 9ths new shits nuffin special. Used t be one of the best but now theres a lot better. Not hattin on 9th tho, always regard him as one of the best but just not his new shit.
Why is it the good musicians dont have their shit together???
But you have the crappy music sticking around???
and you wonder why the music industry is so FUCKED UP…
Great artist cant their shit together…
Damn 9th….Damn Phonte….Damn Pooh….
WHY??????
Unfortunate there’s still this back and forthing going on, but that happens in life. People that were close have a falling out. It’s even worse when those people are connected to each other forever through some prominent activity (like music) because they always ended up crossing paths and butt heads when they do.
9th is not the dopest out…
alchemist>madlib>just blaze
when 9th fucks with lil b/based god then maybe… but little brother doesnt need him for the last album… fucking sensitive nerd
I just skimmed through some of these comments, but I could swear I just read the words “Phonte is wack” somewhere. I mean wow. I could understand someone feeling that way about Phife…I mean Pooh, but Phonte? Come on.
Dope track. Glad it’s seeing the light of day.
Well we didn’t get the whole story so no one can’t say anything. But if its true what Phonte said then….damn 9th thats pretty fowl. O Well I think he was fallin off anyway in my opinion. Big Ups to Phonte and Pooh keep doin yall thing.
if this was a bonus track it would outshine the whole album
LOL @ how they are on Twitter rite now going at it. Man I wish they could just come to a conclusion tell the people what happened and be done with it, they need to put this in the past for good.
9th has produced more dope CD’s than madlib, alchemist and just blaze combined times 10. Over the last 7 years, 9th has produced more quailty cd’s than any other producer in the game. 2000-2010 9th has been the producer of the decade by a wide margin.
The Listening
The Minstrel Show
Chemistry
3:16
The Jeanius
Name other producer from 2000-2010 than has entirely produced 5 albums that can match that.
You would have to go back to DJ Premier, Pete Rock and J.Dilla in their prime during the 90′s to match what 9th has dome post 2000. Hatin on 9th is like hatin on Jordan. You just mad he the best and can’t stand it LOL
Yeah Brian its really lame of them. Luckily Vonpea told them to take it offline-
no we dont fuck with that
With Lil Wayne in jail, the hip hop game is up for grabs. Who will take the crown this year? Vote now → http://evident-truth.blogspot.com/
Big Ups To LB the 2010 tribe called quest. Another one for me to enjoy….
Phonte n Pooh seem kinda distant from eachother. Like there’s a real lack of intimacy within the group. Obviously 9th just wasn’t able to carry on without certain feelings arising in the studio. I think that deep in his heart he misses these dudes. I jus hope Phonte and Pooh can keep things tite between them. I need them to.
Little Brother is done after this album ^
Phonte will try a solo rap album, lets hope it works out.
I just need them to try and work this shit out. I think it’s shameful that two dudes as once connected as these two were can’t find it in themselves to keep it goin. I mean where does that leave the fans that depend on them for that butta shit??? Does that mean we’re just all supposed to go our separate ways???
Some of y’all sound like some bitches that don’t wanna see mommy & daddy fighting. Tay & Pooh are 2 grown ass men and if they wanna air each other out then let them.
I’m in the “LB is better w/o 9th” camp. Give me Tay & Pooh on a Khrysis, Illmind, Mr. Porter or Alchemist beat and I’m happy. 9th’s sound doesn’t fit them anymore.
Tay & 9th are grown ass men*
Well, answer me this then, Mr. NotInTouchWithHisFeelings. If Tay n Pooh decide to call it quits, where that gon leave us fans that be fiendin for that butta shit??? LB is known for the phat shit. Who else we gon look to???
@pope
You arent an LB fan if you saying they better without 9th…
Saying that is like saying the word THE is better without the letter “T”
LB will always be a TRIO…..it was never a duo…
You must be a recent fan…..smh..
Fuck 9th, he’s way overrated. His beats are so similar, and this one is boring as fuck. LB don’t need him.
This is prime 9th production right here. The verses and hook are pretty average – but that’s LB without 9th
Listening to this song makes me miss them with 9th even more…… Granted LB w/o 9th is still dope, but it is not the same. I dont know the whole story, so i wont say anything on their relationship but they need to get back together, ultimatemly the fans want it, they need it… Is 9th, Phonte and Pooh really going to dissapoint their fans like that?
lets get our facts straight
-9th Wonder isn’t overrated, and is STILL droppin dope ass beats
-Phonte is one of the sickest lyricists period
this song is heartbreaking to listen to..I swear LB was one of the best, if not the best trio of all time..nothing tops the chemistry of their albums..nothing..RIP Little Brother
Can’t believe 9th and tay are goin at t on Twitter….. Crazyiness.
Wow. Everyone go to Phonte’s and 9th Wonder’s twitter pages….read through the tweets and you’ll get the idea of whats been going on……..damn..

Phonte on the issue
Sad.
this ALWAYS happens to the best groups. There reallyt can’t be more than two talented individuals per group or it will forever end the same….
^^scary thought.
9th wonder drops beats that are not setting any new standards… and he is not fucking with madlib… nerd… 9th wonder catalogue cant fuck with madvilliany on the beats… trust
9th wonder isnt that dope as in finding sounds… he just uses them kits you can download off the internet… his snares were even sounding the same… if you aint ever made a beat before… shut the fuck up
LB & 9th are dope with or without each other. LB has maintained their sound and quality without 9th…and, I must admit, 9th’s best work has been with Murs.
9th said something on his twitter about Traffic Ent. keeping the song off the album.
@you IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT
IF WHAT 9TH DOES IS SO EASY, WHY DONT YOU DO IT?? WHY IS 9TH DRIVING AROUND IN A BENTLEY AND YOU STILL LIVING IN YO MOMMAS HOUSE????
IF ITS SO EASY, WHY ARENT YOU MAKING BEATS FOR JAY-Z, DESTINYS CHILD, LITTLE BROTHER, MURS, BUCKSHOT, JEAN GRAE, LLOYD BANKS, DAVID BANNER, MARY J BLIGE?????
…I think its you and your jealousy that needs to shut the fuck up.
