For Fans Of
Released September 24, 1991 on Jive, The Low End Theory is A Tribe Called Quest's second album and the record that defined jazz-rap — a minimalist fusion of upright bass, crisp drum breaks, and jazz samples, largely produced by Q-Tip. It's home to "Check the Rhime," "Jazz (We've Got)," and "Scenario," the posse cut that launched Busta Rhymes, and it marked Phife Dawg's breakout as Q-Tip's perfect foil. Routinely ranked among the greatest hip-hop albums ever made, its influence runs through everyone from Kanye and Kendrick to J. Cole. Foundational listening and an essential cornerstone for any collection.
