“I want chicken, and orange juice, 'cause that's what's on my rider/And my occasional potato by Oreida/Don't forget my pastry make sure they're tasty/I'm not the type to be pushy or hasty,” Q-Tip spits on “Rap Promoter," a clever song that cuts into the music industry with razor-sharp observations.
The Low End Theory ranked #154 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time, pulled in at #32 on Spin’s 90 Greatest Albums of the 90s, and landed on the 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century from Vibe magazine for a reason. This is classic hip-hop in every sense of the word, a lyrically-strong album infused with first-class musical quality that is sadly all too uncommon among rap albums.
An indispensable piece in any music lover’s collection, A Tribe Called Quest’s magnificent second album is legendary.
