#GreatAlbums1990s – TOP 20 - #ATribeCalledQuest – #TheLowEndTheory (1991). Classic jazz samples, minimalist production, and a thick bass groove (with jazz legend Ron Carter on one track) provide the backdrop for Q-Tip and Phife Dawg’s fluid rapping on this landmark of progressive hip hop. “Check the Rhime” and “Jazz (We’ve Got)” bristle with positive vibes, while “The Infamous Date Rape” and “What?” bring humor and empathy to serious subjects.
