Watch: Little Brother says they influenced Kanye West, not the other way around

Hip-hop OGs make it clear where they stand on Ye.

Phonte and Big Pooh of Little Brother, the rap trio turned duo from North Carolina, are celebrating 20 years of their debut album “The Listening” with a short tour and an upcoming documentary.

“Dear Culture” host Panama Jackson is a fan of the group and had a raw and uncensored conversation with them about everything from their evolution from college kids to fathers, to where things stand with former producer 9th Wonder. A standout moment from the episode included a comment made about Kanye West.

The controversial rapper did a song with Little Brother back in 2005, entitled “I See Now.” Phonte says despite their collaboration, he wants to make it clear, “Kanye didn’t influence us, we influenced him.”
