Accessories Sony | A Tribe Called Quest – Low End Theory

Release Date:11/12/1996;Notes: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 Cantwell.;Track List:1.
