Low End Theory

VINYL FORMAT. A Tribe Called Quest composed a number of successful singles and albums with their creative approach to rap music. In 1990, the group released Peoples Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, scoring several memorable songs including "Bonita Applebum," "Can I Kick It" and "I Left my Wallet in El Segundo." It was their sophomore effort, The Low End Theory, considered one of the greatest follow-ups in hip-hop history, that would solidify them as legends. Released in late 1991, the freedom expressed in the creation and feel of this record influenced many future artists and producers such as Common, The Roots, Jill Scott, Kanye West and The Neptunes. These artists are a part of ATCQs legacy and are evidence of ATCQs impact for years to come. Classics like "Award Tour," "Electric Relaxation," "Check The Rhyme" and "Scenario" defined ATCQs sound during this period.
