Midnight Marauders

Product Information

Although their later album "The Love Movement" received critical acclaim but lacked the spark of their earlier works. I have the VMP reissue of Panda Bear's Person Pitch and that is a HSM for sure (cut by Miles at Abbey Road). I wonder if this one sounds so good on vinyl because of VMP's work, the sound quality of the original, and the fact that much of this was originally done including samples analog--or more analog than we get today.

It's one of those hip-hop sets that should be in the collection of any committed music head, and not just rap fans. Midnight Marauders is more than just a collection of songs; it's an exploration of the group's artistic prowess and their ability to communicate relevant messages through their music.Released in 1998, the album serves as the group's final studio effort before they temporarily disbanded. Review: We're big fans of these educational 7"s that often crop up, with a legendary hip hop jam on one side and the source of some its samples appearing on the flip. Excursions-Q-Tip explains hip hop reminds him and his dad of jazz music because jazz music introduces the world to hip hop along with funk and James Brown.

The Low End Theory is celebrated as the closest and most brilliant fusions of jazz atmosphere and hip hop attitude ever recorded.Show Business featuring Brand Nubian and Diamond D- a good song that it a grand slam at the popular rap game was going at the time.

However, the reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the print on the outer sleeve is very low quality. Vibes and Stuff-A good realistic song when they give real dedication to hip-hoppers like Trouble T-Roy before 2Pac,Biggie,Eazy,etc. Second studio album from the trio of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad originally released in 1991 is considered one of the best hip-hop albums of all time. Given their legendary status within hip-hop, it's unsurprising to see a string of similarly high profile guests dotted throughout, with Busta Rhymes, Andre 3000, Kayne West, Consequence, Jack White and Elton John (presumably in sampled form) all lending a hand. The album's sophisticated yet accessible style earned it widespread acclaim from both fans and critics, solidifying its place as a timeless masterpiece in hip-hop history.The album is characterized by its unique and innovative fusion of jazz-infused beats, smooth flows, conscious lyrics, and socially aware themes. The album holds immense cultural and emotional importance as it marks the group's first release following the passing of their founding member, Malik "Phife Dawg" Taylor, who died in March 2016 due to complications from diabetes. The Infamous Date Rape-Dope song that deals with the situation when the real-love dating goes wrong.

Tribes second album "The Low End Theory" was released in 1991, and still to this day is better than all the booty crap released within the past fifteen years or so.Production-wise, Tribe graduates from a cool school aesthetic to an electric jazz sound (reminiscent of fusion-era Miles Davis). Easily recognized for their unique approach to rap music by employing jazz infused soundscapes to Afro centric rhymes, ATCQ was largely responsible for the popularity of a new genre that dominated the East Coast sound of the early 1990s. Another gem repressed but now reduced to one slice of vinyl but still sounding as good as the day it was born.
