Can anyone recommend me a good album to start with by A Tribe Called Quest?
|
"A Low End Theory" is their most acclaimed album, so I would start there if I were you.
|
Maybe "Midnight Marauders", I think it's a little bit more fun to listen to.
|
I'm really into the whole Anticon and abstract hip-hop thing, but I'm working with a new computer and lost all of my music...rebuilding now.
Does anyone have any abstract hip-hop (non-Anticon) recs? I'd like to add some more to my library, and have no idea at the moment. |

I know Busta Rhymes is supposed to be doing a verse on it, too. |
