If you visited our Facebook page these past few days, then you probably saw our poll asking which A Tribe Called Quest album is your favorite. We’ll be doing these every week so be sure to Like us, check out the polls, and freak out over whoever wins. I know this debate could rage all day, but in this case, the Tribe has spoken (sorry).
Hit the skip to see which album won.
And the winner is….
Midnight Marauders
As most of you no doubt know, Midnight Marauders is Tribe’s third album and, according to a majority of our readers (and me!), the best. I mean, who could vote against an album with such jams as “Oh My God”, “Lyrics To Go”, “Electric Relaxation”, and “Award Tour”? Speaking of “Award Tour”, you can watch its video below. Enjoy and be prepared for next week’s poll.
Its always hard to compare classics but The Low End Theory i think is one of the first if not my first album i ever bought… and its also number 7 on my all time 50 greatest hip hop album list. Midnight Marauders is number 14.

Choosing between A Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders is like choosing two perfect things, you cannot go wrong.

Low End Theory for life! “Check the Rhime”, “Scenario” F. Busta, and “Jazz (We’ve Got)”.
Gotta say though, it’s kind of an injustice that People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, received NO VOTES. “Bonita Applebum” and “Can I Kick It”. Come on now! Just sad.
