Free Music Notes for The Low End Theory
Free Music Review: An interesting theory
Hit: 5 Stars
I'll be honest and say that this is the first album I've heard from ATCQ. I heard their first album[[People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm]]afterwards and loved that album at first listen too. I mean how can you forget a classic joint like Check The Rhime? Butter is a great solo joint by Phife Dawg who tells a story of a foul type of chick. "What" is Q-Tip's solo joint as he asks a lot of good questions especially "what is Chris Lighty if he wasnt such a baby?". Q-Tip also has another solo joint that he shuts down called Verses From The Abstract. Show Business is explaining all the crooks in the business. Skypager is dedicated to that famous form of communication. You can sense that jazz influence in tracks like Vibes And Stuff and Jazz(We Got). If you want me to say something negative about this album dont even waste your time because there's nothing negative about it. Excursions was a great song to kick off the album with and Scenario feat Leaders Of The New School was a great track to end it with. How can you forget a track like that? Everybody's verse was sick and Busta's verse was a classic just like this album. In short, The Low End Theory is the best hip hop album of 1991 and is worth every minute of your time. The production as well as the rhymes are on point so what are you waiting for? Cop it now! Standouts: EXCURSIONS, RAP PROMOTER, BUTTER, VERSES FROM THE ABSTRACT, SHOW BUSINESS, THE INFAMOUS DATE RAPE, CHECK THE RHIME, EVERYTHING IS FAR AND SCENARIO.
The Low End Theory Poster
De La Soul are remembered as the premier Native Tongues posse, those rappers who got low-key, self-consciously thoughtful, and jazzy in the face of gangsta's hardcore threats. But A Tribe Called Quest may have been even stronger, especially on their excellent second album, the bass-thumping, heavily jazz-sampled The Low End Theory. According to the opening "Excursions," rapper Q-Tip's old man says the disc's jazz-rap "reminded him of bebop," and Q calls himself "prominent like Shakespeare." But if Charlie Parker had ever written poetic couplets and backed them with funky-drummer and Ron Carter-on-bass grooves this irresistible, he might have been as big as the Bard and Brother James combined. --David CantwellR&B Music CDs
