I'm proud to say that the noble readers of this very publication, elected The Low End Theory as the very illest of all the albums released by the venerable group A Tribe Called Quest. Not surprisingly, it came down to The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders, and I'll give props to the enlightened gods who voted for a holistic sound rather than a general aesthetic. That said, here are the results of the poll, and below are some choice cuts off the winning album:

No doubt. It's the 3rd best hip-hop album of all time since I picked it up in '91. I'm sure you've seen this already:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I downloaded that November '91 mag from you at one point.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware that The Low End Theory was rated a 5 though, I figured 4.5, but there's no question that it deserves the perfect rating.
