This blog has got very hip-hop heavy in the last week and I promise that next week will be a bit more varied but that's just how it panned out.
Tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of 'Nevermind' by Nirvana, 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the album that I've chosen to listen to today.
A lot of people rate 'Low End Theory' as A Tribe Called Quest's finest work and I am one of them. The Jazz inspired productions were paramount in introducing hip-hop to a wider audiences and it still thought as one of the best hip-hop albums ever made. 'Check the rhime' is a great song with a great beat that is impossible to listen to without bobbing your head, 'Buggin' Out' has got an infectious bass like and Phife Dog owns this track and 'Jazz (We've got) is probably the best representation of Tribe you will ever hear.
The standout song though is 'Scenario' which is a posse cut featuring members of Leaders of the New School (Including a young Busta Rhymes). This is the moment that people started to notice 'Bussa Buss' as a lyrical and he sounds maniacal as he straight up bodies this beat.
Until tomorrow.....
