Stop it
They had a three album deal with ABB. They got the masters for Getback tho
But based on the article @Easy-E linked they don't eem want the money they're owed, they just want the masters. Sounds like a lose-lose for Beni B, from what Tay and Pooh are saying the amount owed is too high for him to repay AND if they get rights back he aint gone be able to make bread off the Listening masters/Minstrel Show vinyls

Phonte Of Little Brother Calls Kanye West A Coward
also I recall an old interview where Phonte was upset that Kanye didn't name drop him in something, can't find it right now.

They might as well go for it all...
It's a win for him if he just gotta give up masters
I told ya’ll a few pages ago what the play was and what the angle was.
This about utilizing the strategy De La Soul and Dave Chappelle utilized to get OWNERSHIP of their work. It was clear from the moment they told fans not to buy any more vinyl repressings that they were going for the jugular. This is all strategic and in the end Pooh and Phonte WILL get the Masters. Even if it takes a two-three years they’ll get it. I guarantee it

Funny enough; that's why Jay-Z became president of Def Jam. He was owed too much money, so they gave him the job.

You didn’t like the new album? Still in rotation for me.Their best work were with 9th or around the that era
The Minstrel Show best beat was Lovin It
I’m probably one of the biggest Justus League fans on here got all their music and thoroughly listen to all their shyt and I gotta say LB music Get Back and beyond is average as fukk. They need dope production seriously, I’m sad they don’t see any money off their first two albums. Those early Justus League tracks from Median to Joe Scudda really helped me when I was battling depression on sum real shyt. I don’t have to stream their music as I own all of it plus the NC mixtapes.
More like Chris Webber and Vlade Divac. Phonte is not Jordan.

I remember this. I believe it was some BET concert where they got 0 reception basically said "we don't suck, the crowd does"
Tall talk from a Lupe stan.
Honestly I feel like many of us were all in the same place in the early to mid 00s and it's just a matter of which path did you explore. Most of us took the Kanye path, which may have led you directly to Mos/Common/Kweli, and/or Lupe. Some of us explored all that and also found Little Brother, Dilated Peoples, etc. Your boy was def bumping Akrobatic's Remind My Soul in front of 50 Cent stans trying to teach them knowledge of self.
Looking back a lot of that shyt was corny but Little Brother stands the test of time because they were never preachy. All that "I'm trying to be conscious but I just got my dikked sucked" lyrical shyt J Cole has been struggling trying to pull off...Phonte did that shyt effortlessly. I remember taking this as a personal attack and then realizing all that righteousness shyt was corny.
LB got classics and deserves respect.
C.Webb in the hall of fame
Divac did make an all star team tho
More like C.Webb and Scott Pollard
Thats crazy to me and highlights both Jay-Z’s negotiating business as well as a HUGE company like Def Jam’s stupidity. How the fukk do you owe someone so much money that your FORCED to put that person in charge!?!!?
Its absurd

You had sandals and capri's on? Come on dog
But you're right. Even Dialated Peoples almost had everybody's attention with Get By pt. 2....I mean This Way.
