The Low End Theory - Tribe Called Quest (A) (CD 1991)

I don't really listen to hip hop. The only rap groups I like are the Roots, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest. Nowadays rap seems too aggressive, and a rapper will either spit out rhymes that just plain suck or are convoluted and too complex. Jurassic 5 is one group that I liked for a while, but I got tired of them because all they seemed to do is rhyme vocabulary words. The Tribe suffers from neither of those problems. In The Low End Theory, you'll notice their signature laid-back jazzy beats and their laid-back rhymes. Jazz (We've Got) has a great beat; it has drums that sound real, and..

When De La Soul's album 3 Feet High And Rising was released, it was given the crescendo of being the New Hip hop or preferably the Daisy Age . When A Tribe Called Quest (ATCC) entered the scene in 1991, with their classically known album The Low End Theory, they weren t given a label.

Now, the discussion as to whether this, or Midnight Marrauders is the better album has been going on for a while, and i cant judge because i have not ever heard the latter, but i will very...

Possibly one of the most influential albums of all hip-hop history, and easily the Tribe's best album, "Low End Theory" is a Hip-Hop masterpiece. Emcees Q-Tip and Phife Dawg are the main features and helped develop the two directions in which hip-hop would go. Phife Dawg flexes the bragadaccio rhymes with the flair that makes you believe everything he says while Q-Tip handles the more introspective rhymes as well as the first "lover-boy" MC voice. They're the old-school Talib Kweli and Mos Def, respectively, and singlehandedly create new worlds of music in their second album. The first thing..
