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.
