Big Pooh from Little Brother with 10 facts about Getback on the 10th anniversary

[TheDarceKnight]

wow. 10 years to the day we released "Getback" officially to the world. our third studio album. in celebration, 10 facts about this album:

1. we had a good part of the album finished before asking for our release from Atlantic Records. since we always recorded at our studio, we left with the masters to this album and was able to release it independently.
2. even though we started recording while on Atlantic, @phontigallo and I A&R'ed this album from the get go. (we actually A&R'ed all of our albums)

3. after getting Lil Wayne's number from @mick, I called him while he was on tour and asked about doing a verse for the album. he told me send him the joint. less than a week later, I had all the files in my email. and this when Wayne was running this rap shyt. always have my respect for that.

4. @illmindproducer (Illmind) produced 4 of the 11 tracks on the album while @khrysis_ produced 2 plus a bonus. they essentially were the backbone sonically for this album.

5. the cover was a homage to Mobb Deep's " The Infamous" cover.

6. we wanted to get @therealbigboi on "Two-Step Blues" but the price tag for the verse was too high for the budget, and rightfully so, he is a legend.

7. "When Everything Is New" was originally supposed to be a Tay (Phonte) solo joint for a @zo3hree5ive album. after he let me hear it I told him tell Zo we needed something like that for "Getback." next thing I know, a restructured version of the joint was sent to me and Zo gave his joint to us for our album.

8. Tay and I probably recorded about 40-50% of this album separately. Tay didn't start studio sessions till around midnight, I was usually in the club by then so I came in early and got my work in.

9. I originally didn't want to rock to what became "Good Clothes." Tay let me hear his idea so I decided to give it a go. turned out to be a dope and fun record.

10. this is my favorite LB album.

Dreams is my all time favorite LB joint


Interesting that the cover is a Mobb Deep homage. I always read/heard that it was an EPMD Strictly Business homage

 

[Monoblock]

Dreams was my shyt on here Everyone knows my LB and Justus League fandom though @TheDarceKnight especially from the good ol The Lawn days.

[RAW_SPK]

AfterThe Party and Two Step Blues were my shyt.

The skits on this album had me dying too

 

[The Jewnited States]

I don't think I ever gave this joint a fair listen after some missteps they had leading up to this release. I should prob give it a spin. Has it aged well?

 

[WhoShotCha]

I've always loved this album. A lot of nikkas didn't give it a fair shake because 9th was gone, but I've always fukked with it heavy. It's also crazy how Wayne was never too big to work with anyone around that time.

 

[Logic Reigns Supreme]

Great album.

MAMA I GOT DREEEAAAAMMMMSSSS

BUT DREAMS DON'T KEEP THE LIGHTS ONNNNN

 

[I Really Mean It]

Minstrel Show was a far better and more complete album, but this was still a cool effort.

 

[Easy-E]

Surprised this is his fav LB record...i hope that ain't a shot @ 9th

[UserNameless]

Lol @ Big Boi pricing them out, yet Wayne did a verse for thee free or for thee low...and Pooh writing how he respected that so much.

Lesson for Life: Always a way to get your point across without being crass and incredibly distasteful.
