About this deal

Musicians from other genres have also cited it as an influence, including rock musician Jack White and electronica musician James Lavelle. For anyone not familiar, these albums along with their debut are three of the best hip hop albums from '89 - '93 - pretty much as good as it gets. Their second album "The Low End Theory" at the time of its release was only pressed as a highly limited edition promo vinyl LP that didn't even have all of the albums' tracks on it.

The song "Butter" was originally supposed to feature a verse by Q-Tip, but Phife Dawg insisted on rapping solo on it, causing a brief argument. The album is regarded as Phife Dawg's breakout and is credited for helping launch rapper Busta Rhymes's successful solo career.After switching managers, the group demanded more advances from Jive, who eventually extended their recording contract for one more album. The rapping by Q-Tip and Phife Dawg could be the smoothest of any rap record ever heard; the pair are so in tune with each other, they sound like flip sides of the same personality, fluidly trading off on rhymes, with the former earning his nickname (the Abstract) and Phife concerning himself with the more concrete issues of being young, gifted, and black. The album introduced the lyrical interplay and chemistry between Q-Tip and Phife Dawg, the latter of whom experienced a lyrical breakout. The Low End Theory took Tribe to that fabled "next level" hip hop acts always bang on about by performing the trick every authenticity-obsessed artist most dearly wants to execute.

The Low End Theory is an unqualified success, the perfect marriage of intelligent, flowing raps to nuanced, groove-centred productions. The Low End' sounds minimal in comparison and is a mostly drum’n’bass record of subtle bells and whistles. With the album, the group is credited for showcasing how hip-hop was made before commercial success influenced many rappers' creativity, and for challenging the "macho posturing" of hardcore and gangsta rap. However, he left the group during the sessions to study culinary art and his verses did not make the final cut.Producer Pete Rock created the original beat for the second single, "Jazz (We've Got)", before it was recreated by Q-Tip, who credited Rock in the outro of the song.

I’m new to collecting vinyl and my gf bought me this record and I’m wondering if anyone could date it based on the outer sleeve writing or anything like that. Of course, it's not an analog recording and I don't want to vouch for it too much, but the low end is pretty nice. W.A's album Straight Outta Compton as inspiration: "what resonated was just that bottom, that bass and the drive of it.

He named "Check the Rhime" and "Buggin' Out" as highlights, while giving the album a three-star honorable mention, indicating "an enjoyable effort consumers attuned to its overriding aesthetic or individual vision may well treasure.

Very happy with the sound almost all the way through - no surface noise, pristine sound until the last track which sounds a little static-y around the vocals. They not only reissued all of their classic singles, but all of the albums as 2 LP sets for the best fidelity possible and faithfully reproducing the artwork. Rolling Stone stated that people previously "connected the dots between hip-hop and jazz", as both were revolutionary forms of black music based on improvisation and flow, however, "this LP drew the entire picture. I haven't listened to Midnight Marauders in quite some time, so I wouldn't want to comment on that one, but I do think that Low End Theory sounds great.The album cover is regarded as one of the greatest and most iconic in hip-hop history; on a top 50 list by Complex, it was ranked number one.
