Low End Theory

Product Information

Supported by the lead single " Check the Rhime", The Low End Theory debuted at number 45 on the Billboard 200 chart. It's here on exclusive 2LP Green + Red colored vinyl, plated at Welcome to 1979 and pressed at GZ, with lacquers cut by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. The Low End Theory is an unqualified success, the perfect marriage of intelligent, flowing raps to nuanced, groove-centered productions. The Low End Theory is regarded for its socially conscious lyrics, which include subjects such as relationships, date rape, the hip-hop industry and consumerism. The album is regarded as Phife Dawg's breakout and is credited for helping launch rapper Busta Rhymes's successful solo career.

From gorgeous album art to world-class listening guides, you’ll find yourself discovering something new every time you listen. Just to complete the picture, each of the first three albums, including Low End Theory, were released on vinyl at the time of their release in Europe. Kotiinkuljetuksesta perimme rahulia 3,99€ pienemmistä lähetyksistä (lähinnä cd:t) ja isoimmista vermeistä eli vinyyleistä, huppareista yms 5,99€. Similarly, "Buggin' Out" was the first song in which he layered two different drum breaks at once, which was uncommon at the time. Initially only two of Tribes' first three albums were released commercially on vinyl, those being "Peoples Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm" and "Midnight Marauders", as single vinyl LP's.The song "Butter" was originally supposed to feature a verse by Q-Tip, but Phife Dawg insisted on rapping solo on it, causing a brief argument. The album cover is regarded as one of the greatest and most iconic in hip-hop history; on a top 50 list by Complex, it was ranked number one.

Upon its release, the album's commercial potential was doubted by music critics and Jive record executives, including label CEO Barry Weiss. The laid back style of Q-Tip and Phife Dawg over the jazz sampleology of Ali Shaheed Muhammad, along with the daisy age raps of De La Soul, almost single-handedly defined the alternative rap scene, where intelligence and musical nouse replaced guns, hos and bragging. The album is regarded as Phife Dawg's lyrical breakout, as he established himself as a formidable MC. So are you saying that the original pressing of the first album also omitted "Go Ahead In The Rain" and "Description Of A Fool"?The Low End' sounds minimal in comparison and is a mostly drum’n’bass record of subtle bells and whistles.
