A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory - 25 Yrs

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

in 2014 i listened to this album once a week for the entire year. shit was life changing.

im 40. So think about how "we" felt back in 91. And this is back when 90% of the songs on the radio and videos shows was all fire.

There was a build up before the album dropped. Songs and videos were dropping that summer before the actual album came out. And I remember in 92 when i first started writing. Hence, why i said i had a Q-Tip flow.

Yeah i am 25 and my youngest uncle is 41 so he was in high school when low end theory dropped and mind you he fucked with hip hop and was a talented woodwind player who played Clarinet and Sax in jazz bands and was about to head off to the Boston Conservatory for music. So tribe at the time was a perfect blend of his love for jazz and hip hop. So Low end was his shit back in the day when it dropped.

Yeah I graduated from High School in 1991. I didn't go directly to college from High School. Instead I worked at the local grocery store and bought a sampler. I tried to build a home studio in my parents basement. A Tribe Called Quest and Gang Starr were my inspiration. They got me into jazz music. I tried to make jazzy sounding beats with some success. The only problem was I was recording the beats on cassette tape because I didn't have a DAT or a computer. After playing the beats for a few weeks the sound quality deteriorated on the cassette tapes. I didn't go digital until 1999.

I fucks with gang starr as well discovered them after playing Dave Mirra BMX 2 back in the day when they had Moment of Truth. I ended up over a few years buying every Gang Star Project (digitally).
