 Rating: - hhhiOne of the first "real" hip hop albums I listened to and it continues to sound fresh after all these years. They took everything great about their debut and maximised it; throwing in experimental touches and a subtle use of live instrumentation into the mix, creating what is, in my humble opinion, the greatest jazz-rap album we'll ever hear. Q-Tip and Phife aren't the greatest rappers, but they sound so suitably relaxed and eloquent over the beats that it's easy to understand their lofty status in the world of hip hop. Everything works on The Low End Theory and there's never been a more perfectly suitable closer than "Scenario", the greatest posse cut of all time. Has Busta ever sounded more crazy than when he's roooaaaarrring like a dungeon ... Read More: Rating: - This album provides some of Hip Hops intelligent rhythms and fun lyricsGot to love Q and Phife! I grew up hearing and watching them as well as our other forefathers of hip hop. One thing that makes an album good is the ability to be so complex that one can listen to it over and over and never get bored with the songs such as theirs. If you dig the Roots, Digital Planets, Black Eyed Peas, or any other hip-hop group that has the slightest tinge of jazz to it, you have "The Low End Theory" to thank. Ali Shaheed Muhammed fuses up-beat hip-hop with funky jazz, and must of felt real good when he was finished. But it's not like this album was simply influential and not essential, or that it's solely revolutionary in one sense and not able to stand on its own in others. All through the album the beats are ... Read More: Rating: - New York Breathes in the West Coast OceanThis album was released in '91 during the rise of the West Coast and G-Funk. New York Hip-Hop was really in the shadow of NWA, Ice-T and Ice Cube's Death Certificate. It would take something powerful to happen in New York to get some recognition. That's what The Tribe provided. In a time when G-Funk was rap, Q-Tip gave us an album of jazzy beats and incredible flow alongside co-lyricist, Phife. The album opened with the a high base beat of Excursions, where Q-Tip showed how he flows with the beat as if it was a part of him. Phife steps up on the second track "Buggin' Out" with the introduction verse. Q-Tip and Phife both offer amusing, experienced stories of youth on tracks like "Butter" and "The Infamous Date Rape". Every other ... Read More: Rating: - Stone cold CLASSIC!Quite simply, one of the best hip hop albums ever made, and certainly *the* high point in Tribe's career. Ask anyone who actually knows their hip hop, and they'll tell you the same. Often mistaken for old school by those who don't know, Tribe (along with Native Tongues cohorts De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, Black Sheep et al) spearheaded the jazzy-loops-and-funky-beats that came to epitomise the era know as the golden age of hip hop. This album rides the crest of that beautiful, true-school wave. Dope production all the way, and the best rhymes Q-Tip and Phife ever put out. If you are a long standing hip hop fan and don't have this album, shame on you. If you're new to hip hop and looking for a history lesson, this is ... Read More: Rating: - Low end theoryIts a brilliant example of old skool hip hop. Some classic songs here, which must have influenced thousands of rappers today.... i strongly recomend it!!! but it NOW!!! |
