best song ever

video is awesome, love that beat

aight uptown saturday night moved up my to-listen list

when that album is good it's the BEST

that song, "sparkle" and its "mr midnight" mix, and "coolie high" are like so good

it also has the best album cover

Album Rating: 4.0

Low End Theory definitely shows its age in places however you can't deny its influence and impact (both on hip-hop and jazz). Q-Tip isn't the most exciting rapper, but that doesn't bother me when I'm getting caught up in the silky smooth groove of Ron Carter's bass (I think it's worth noting that ATCQ were ahead of their time here - long before the Fugees and the Roots, they opted for live instrumentation over sampling and programming - for one album at least)

Album Rating: 3.5

Phife brings the hype, Q-tip brings the actual good rapping.



also, Camp Lo's first album >>> Pete Rock and Gang Starr imo. I never really liked anything to do with Pete Rock tbh.

Camp Lo's first album >>> all other hip hop recs

2nd 3rd 4th gang starr albums are up there with the best, especially step in the arena
