{"product_id":"the-low-end-theory","title":"The Low End Theory","description":"Amazon.com\n\nDe 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\n\nProduct Description\n\n.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000004X7\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000004X7.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:A Tribe Called Quest\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
