To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Hey Bonita, glad to meet ya For the kind of stunning newness, I must have foreseen ya Hey, being with you is a top priority Ain't no need to question the authority Chairman of the board, the chief of affections You got mine's to swing in your direction Hey, you're like a hip hop song, you know? The album's sound is characterized by its innovative fusion of jazz, funk, and soul samples with clever and thought-provoking rhymes. I wonder if this one sounds so good on vinyl because of VMP's work, the sound quality of the original, and the fact that much of this was originally done including samples analog--or more analog than we get today.

But that's the thing, I thought Abbey Road had the monopoly on HSM, but I can't see anything connecting this release to Abbey Road Studios. A 1991 landscape-changing release from the pioneering hip-hop group, The Low End Theory embraced a minimalist approach and set the tables for the alternate rap movement that followed. I didnt care much for VMP (probably because I'm not in US) but since I got my hands on this one I can see I made a big mistake. Like I said, I cannot stop listening to this, the album bangs from start to finish, and has quite possibly the best lyrical ending to finish an album out, ever.

The album's sophisticated yet accessible style earned it widespread acclaim from both fans and critics, solidifying its place as a timeless masterpiece in hip-hop history. The album is characterized by its unique and innovative fusion of jazz-infused beats, smooth flows, conscious lyrics, and socially aware themes. Verses from the Abstract-Great jazzy feeling joint when Tip talks about condition in the American nation. It's one of those hip-hop sets that should be in the collection of any committed music head, and not just rap fans. The Infamous Date Rape-Dope song that deals with the situation when the real-love dating goes wrong.

Excursions-Q-Tip explains hip hop reminds him and his dad of jazz music because jazz music introduces the world to hip hop along with funk and James Brown. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.Easily recognized for their unique approach to rap music by employing jazz infused soundscapes to Afro centric rhymes, ATCQ was largely responsible for the popularity of a new genre that dominated the East Coast sound of the early 1990s. Rap Promoter-A truthful hardcore attack of what's going on in the rap industry for what I can related for what's happen of today's rap industry.

Review: We're big fans of these educational 7"s that often crop up, with a legendary hip hop jam on one side and the source of some its samples appearing on the flip. After their debut in 1989 with "Description Of A Fool," they gained popularity with hits like "Bonita Applebum" and "Can I Kick It? Although their later album "The Love Movement" received critical acclaim but lacked the spark of their earlier works. Second studio album from the trio of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad originally released in 1991 is considered one of the best hip-hop albums of all time.

However, the reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the print on the outer sleeve is very low quality. Midnight Marauders is more than just a collection of songs; it's an exploration of the group's artistic prowess and their ability to communicate relevant messages through their music. Tribes second album "The Low End Theory" was released in 1991, and still to this day is better than all the booty crap released within the past fifteen years or so. Released in 1998, the album serves as the group's final studio effort before they temporarily disbanded. Given their legendary status within hip-hop, it's unsurprising to see a string of similarly high profile guests dotted throughout, with Busta Rhymes, Andre 3000, Kayne West, Consequence, Jack White and Elton John (presumably in sampled form) all lending a hand.

East Coast stomping was kicking it, drums were kicking it, Tribe and LONS were kicking it, everything from Scenario were hardly kicking it! The New York crew is in particularly fine form on the mic throughout, while the backing tracks, which make great use of crunchy, head-nodding beats and hundreds of superb, hand-picked samples, are amongst the most intricately produced, groovy and deep ever committed to wax. The tracks balance jazz, soul, and even reggae influences with pure hip-hop to arrive at a completely distinctive Tribe sound, the logical evolution of the bop-inflected hooks which characterised Low End Theory.
