Description: de la Soul are remembered as the premier Native Tongues posse, those rappers who got low-key, self-consciously thoughtful, and jazzy in the face of gangsta's hardcore threats. But A Tribe Called Quest may have been even stronger, especially on their excellent second album, the bass-thumping, heavily jazz-sampled the Low End Theory. According to the opening "Excursions," rapper Q-Tip's old man says the disc's jazz-rap "reminded him of bebop," and Q calls himself "prominent like Shakespeare." But if Charlie Parker had ever written poetic couplets and backed them with funky-drummer and Ron Carter-on-bass grooves this irresistible, he might have been as big as the Bard and Brother James combined. - David Cantwell. 1 Excursions2 Buggin' Out3 Rap Promoter4 Butter5 Verses from the Abstract6 Show Business7 Vibes and Stuff8 Infamous Date Rape9 Check the Rhime10 Everything Is Fair11 Jazz (We've Got)12 Skypager13 What?14 ScenarioIMPORTANT INFO - All orders will ship within 3 business days, with rare exceptions for items being backordered*.My cutoff for shipping is 4pm EST.
