Ali Shaheed Muhammad Breaks Down Q-Tip's Vision For The 'The Low End Theory' | People's Party Clip

[@tavencio879]

The Low End Theory is one of the greatest albums in music period.

[@KtotheG]

If I had to take 5 albums with me on a deserted island to play for the rest of my life... it would be Low End Theory, Songs in the Key of Life, Kind of Blue, Legend by Bob Marley, and OK Computer

Circa 1991- 11th grade trying to figure my life out after my grandmother’s passing who raised myself and my siblings, and with grieving and emotionally depressed at a young age almost dropping out of high school, ATCQ’s The Low End Theory was that album/soundtrack of that time, that was the saving grace uplifting me and getting me through those tough times and grief. Listening to that album and Peoples Instinctive Travels religiously & consecutively, successfully carried me emotionally to graduate and finish school. The best part of it all was that I attended Murry Bergtraum the same high school Qtip, Ali Shaheed, & the Jungle Brothers attended. I am 48 now and still appreciate ATCQ and all those albums to this very day as it’s changed my life forever. I’m forever grateful & thankful! SIP Phife Dawg 🕊🙏🏽 we love and miss you.

[@ompiba]

Wow i feel you so much. After i lost my mother AT the age of 14, 90s Hip hop and RnB definitely helped me push through. Music made from the soul is a blessing🙏🏾

[@vibesandstuff76]

Low End Theory is the soundtrack to my youth....at least a big portion of it. A lot of memories connected to that album throughout my life, but also, it stepped outside hip-hop conventions and forced me, the listener to step out of my own limited views and perspectives.

[@Goatchild90]

Masterpiece album. Aged like wine. Bout play my CD copy rn.

Three albums that I still remember vividly the day I first heard them and the lasting impact they had on me that moment: Public enemy - It takes a Nation of Millions Ice Cube - Amerikkka’s Most Wanted A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

[@guyhill6269]

Well, you guys did a Helluva job with that because I'm 49 and still playing The Low End Theory loudly in my car, constantly. I have two children and they know this album very well. Even know "Butter", "Jazz", "Check the Rhime", and "Scenario" by heart.

[@16barspublishingsixteenbar82]

Don't get it twisted low end theory is the sound track to my high school years but people's instinctive is truly the better album and midnight is a more polished version of low end that one had to grow on me,

[@stereo-type1510]

Peoples instinctive is not better than Lowend in my opinion

[@KtotheG]

Low End Theory is the greatest hip hop album of all time.

[@16barspublishingsixteenbar82]

Well my issue is you really have to be closely associated to the golden Era to truly feel the full impact of low end, if your not from the Era don't feel it like us but if you listen to people's instinctive it takes you straight back to 89 no matter what Era you grew up in you know what 89 felt like, kinda like jungle Brothers music ( girl I'll house you) and Qtip was solo for like 80 percent of that album great great piece of work

[@dawb86]

@@16barspublishingsixteenbar82 TLET is better as a group album, better crafted, better production wise and was the group's greatest statement of purpose as artists. Midnight Marauders should be studied by all hip hop artists on how to construct a great rap album, it doesn't get talked about as much but it's the most perfectly executed piece of album craft in hip hop history to me. I'd have to call People's Instinctive Travels their third best, at best. That's no disrespect to it, considering all that Tribe has accomplished. No different from calling Yo! Bum Rush the Show Public Enemy's third or fourth best...

J dilla production ruined the latter A tribe called quest albums

[@KtotheG]

Yes, and the loss of chemistry between Tip and Phife. It was apparent that they were at odds.

[@KtotheG]

J Dilla did his best work with The Pharcyde and Busta Rhymes. I didn't like him with ATCQ. But he fit in with The Pharcyde like a glove. If only him and they would've lasted.

[@mistahmst]

Ruined? Nah, I can’t cosign that. They definitely paled in comparison to the first 3, but they still got some bangers on those albums. They were actually better than their last album imo

[@djbloodshot]

Serious???? Youre gonna say dilla ruined anything with his music? The love movement has tons of dope beats that fit the tribe feel

[@michaelkelly4314]

@@djbloodshot I agree!, but Dilla only did a handful of those beats. Hence why the album was more Tribe sounding than it's predecessor
