OMG! I can't believe it's real. This needs its own thread!!!!!

supposedly coming out December 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1993 I heard Midnight Marauders and said "this is the best hip hop album ever made" and to this day I still agree with that. I am so excited!!!!!

It's a shame that this isn't really a thing, but it's kind of obvious .. that's the same picture that's on the cover of Hits, Rarities & remixes.

haha yeah, that part dawned on me AFTER I loaded into my iTunes library.

oh my, it must've been amazing to hear MM when it just came out. probably the most perfect rap album i've heard.

you both prefer midnight marauders to the low end theory?

absolutely. It's close, but yes.

For me it's because I heard MM first. I was what? Like 12 or 13 when it had come out and really I was just getting into music hard y'know? I had been really into like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and the Dr Dre and Snoop singles and was starting to explore music for real. And when I got MM it was just like "woah." It really cemented to me this idea of what an ALBUM sounded like y'know? And it's just such a crazy record. Sure, going back I realized that they had already built that with Low End, but I had fallen in love with MM first. So yeah to this day it remains my #1 hip hop album of all time. IT's def a personal thing rather than a quality thing. In fairness, I'd say both records are about tied for quality.

I don't think I can make a call on this one. These days, whenever I listen to tribe it's a playlist that spans their whole career, and I'll tell you what- Peoples' Instinctive Travels could just as easily be my favorite. I never hear people talking about that album, but it's a classic, and definitely ranks among the most fun hip hop albums ever.

I think extensive review would put Low End above MM though.

People's is fun for sure. But it's not on the same level. "Footprints" is fucking amazing though and as good as anything on Low End or MM.
