"Many Tribe fans consider the band’s next album, 1993’s 'Midnight Marauders,' to be its magnum opus. But you don’t arrive at the perfect nocturnal LP without first releasing a focused work like 'The Low End Theory,' which winnowed the colorful expanse of 'People’s Instinctive Travels' into a seamless listen. 'The Low End' sounds minimal in comparison and is a mostly drum’n’bass record of subtle bells and whistles. Tribe represented freedom, and some 30 years after 'The Low End Theory,' it’s still a sonic marvel and one of the best hip-hop albums of all-time."

Marcus J. Moore is VMP’s Hip-Hop Director and a music journalist who’s covered jazz, soul and hip-hop at The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, The Nation, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pitchfork and elsewhere.
