Celebrating 30 years of A Tribe Called Quest's 'Low End Theory'.  How do you follow up a 5-mic debut album??  With a 5-mic sophomore LP!  Everything about this album is a MASTERPIECE....from the abstract cover art, to the jazz-infused production emphasizing the LOW END, to the rhymes traded effortlessly between Q-Tip and Phife (R.I.P.).  Genius-level artistry.
This album represented a defining moment in hip hop, so I HAD to pay tribute with a mix incorporating the original samples, remixes, and blends.

## BULLETPROOF CRATES RECORDINGS PRESENT

DJ SHEEP'S WINTER BLUNTZ: BLUNT ONE
Recorded: 3rd July 2014

After spending hours in my own crates due to this forthcoming sale, I got inspired, hopped on the decks and rocked a live 90 minute mix of soul, funk, library, jazz, disco, hip-hop, etc. There's joints and genres from all around the world. I went hard (pause) on the doubles at some points, and there's some instrumental/acapella blends up there too… 

This was an spur of the moment practice session that was never to be given to the public, just to listen to later for ideas… no playlists, no preparation… A few mates enjoyed it whom I sent it to and prompted me to get it out there… Please excuse all the sloppy mixes, cuts, etc. I wanted to keep it raw like the mixes of the 90's… feedback is appreciated.

Peace. DJ Sheep

RESPECT to the break mix originators: Phil "Soulman" Stroman, Silverchild & MSA, Jake One, DJ Muro, Kon & Amir, DJ Shame, Paul Nice, DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist.

Tall Black Guy (Born-Day) Tribute-Recorded Live ON TWITCH-January 5 2025

Experiencing the break up of A Tribe Called Quest was real to me. How could they end something so great? Their music was effortlessly perfect.. Their watery landscapes and drum manipulation (using just 1/4 of a break loop) influenced a whole new style of beat making. A Tribe Called Quest elevated the musicality of Hip-Hop without playing a single note. They were one of the most influential groups, inspiring myself and many others.. this mix is a reflection of that influence and inspiration. -DJ Definit (2008)

Originally recorded in 2007.  This was the mix that forced me to buy Torq. I remember fiending for "Everything I am" after hearing Graduation and wanting to get that song on my turntables desperately. When the people at Fat Beats told me that the Graduation album wasn't going to be released on vinyl, something had to give. A few days later I was a Torq owner and working on this mix. I still buy vinyl, but not nearly as much as I once did (which is good for my wallet but bad for the record stores)

Soul Source Live Ep. 2 - Mr. Choc

London’s very own Spin Doctor has been a busy boy while in Lockdown. He has created this epic mix dedicated to the powerhouse that is Q-Tip. Using 50 tracks to mark The Abstract’s 50th Birthday on Friday 10th April 2020.
 
The mix combinies a bunch of Tip’s productions, verses, samples, interviews and more. From A Tribe Called Quest to Solange, Nas to Quincey Jones, the mix explores all aspects of this man’s genius.
 
There are very few artists that can claim such impact on an entire genre, but A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip can do just that and more. As a member of what is widely agreed to be the greatest Hip-Hop group of all time, as a solo artist and as a producer for the great and the good, Q-Tip’s impact is immeasurable. Through his influence on the likes of J-Dilla, Kanye West and Pharrell, his influence can still be heard throughout all forms of Hip-Hop and Soul. Keep Bouncing!
