Midnight Marauders

Product Information

The album's sophisticated yet accessible style earned it widespread acclaim from both fans and critics, solidifying its place as a timeless masterpiece in hip-hop history. I wonder if this one sounds so good on vinyl because of VMP's work, the sound quality of the original, and the fact that much of this was originally done including samples analog--or more analog than we get today.

Of course, they're all superb, but 1993's "Midnight Marauders" - their third full-length - may well be the best of all. Easily recognized for their unique approach to rap music by employing jazz infused soundscapes to Afro centric rhymes, ATCQ was largely responsible for the popularity of a new genre that dominated the East Coast sound of the early 1990s. Second studio album from the trio of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad originally released in 1991 is considered one of the best hip-hop albums of all time. If you like The Roots, De La Soul, Common, Yasin Bey (aka Mos Def), J Dilla, Nas, Pharcyde, Jurassic 5ive, Talib Kweli, 9th Wonder, Cunninlynguists,etc.Verses from the Abstract-Great jazzy feeling joint when Tip talks about condition in the American nation. It was released on November 11, 2016, almost 18 years after their previous studio album, "The Love Movement," making it a highly anticipated and significant release for both fans and the music industry. Another gem repressed but now reduced to one slice of vinyl but still sounding as good as the day it was born.

The tracks balance jazz, soul, and even reggae influences with pure hip-hop to arrive at a completely distinctive Tribe sound, the logical evolution of the bop-inflected hooks which characterised Low End Theory. 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. Rap Promoter-A truthful hardcore attack of what's going on in the rap industry for what I can related for what's happen of today's rap industry. Throughout their career, ATCQ released several successful albums including "Midnight Marauders," which earned them the Group Of The Year award at the Source Magazine Hip Hop Award Show in 1994. I didnt care much for VMP (probably because I'm not in US) but since I got my hands on this one I can see I made a big mistake.Released in 1998, the album serves as the group's final studio effort before they temporarily disbanded. Excursions" contains samples from "Time Is Running Out" performed by The Last Poets and written by Omar Ben Hassen. Their album "The Low-End Theory" showcased their blend of boom bap beats with jazz, funk, and soul melodies. Midnight Marauders is more than just a collection of songs; it's an exploration of the group's artistic prowess and their ability to communicate relevant messages through their music. Vibes and Stuff-A good realistic song when they give real dedication to hip-hoppers like Trouble T-Roy before 2Pac,Biggie,Eazy,etc.

I have the VMP reissue of Panda Bear's Person Pitch and that is a HSM for sure (cut by Miles at Abbey Road).

Show Business featuring Brand Nubian and Diamond D- a good song that it a grand slam at the popular rap game was going at the time. Excursions-Q-Tip explains hip hop reminds him and his dad of jazz music because jazz music introduces the world to hip hop along with funk and James Brown.
