Little Brother’s sophomore release delivered a solid follow-up to their debut, The Listening, and cemented the group’s standing as one of the most important hip-hop acts of the 2000s. The Minstrel Show was prominently featured in the hip-hop media of the era – with XXL giving the album an "XL" rating and Scratch calling it “a perfect 10 out of 10”.
