    Circa 1991- 11th grade trying to figure my life out after my grandmother’s passing who raised myself and my siblings, and with grieving and emotionally depressed at a young age almost dropping out of high school, ATCQ’s The Low End Theory was that album/soundtrack of that time, that was the saving grace uplifting me and getting me through those tough times and grief. Listening to that album and Peoples Instinctive Travels religiously & consecutively, successfully carried me emotionally to graduate and finish school. The best part of it all was that I attended Murry Bergtraum the same high school Qtip, Ali Shaheed, & the Jungle Brothers attended. I am 48 now and still appreciate ATCQ and all those albums to this very day as it’s changed my life forever. I’m forever grateful & thankful! SIP Phife Dawg 🕊🙏🏽 we love and miss you.

    Low End Theory is the soundtrack to my youth....at least a big portion of it. A lot of memories connected to that album throughout my life, but also, it stepped outside hip-hop conventions and forced me, the listener to step out of my own limited views and perspectives.

      Well my issue is you really have to be closely associated to the golden Era to truly feel the full impact of low end, if your not from the Era don't feel it like us but if you listen to people's instinctive it takes you straight back to 89 no matter what Era you grew up in you know what 89 felt like, kinda like jungle Brothers music ( girl I'll house you) and Qtip was solo for like 80 percent of that album great great piece of work

      @@16barspublishingsixteenbar82 TLET is better as a group album, better crafted, better production wise and was the group's greatest statement of purpose as artists. Midnight Marauders should be studied by all hip hop artists on how to construct a great rap album, it doesn't get talked about as much but it's the most perfectly executed piece of album craft in hip hop history to me. I'd have to call People's Instinctive Travels their third best, at best. That's no disrespect to it, considering all that Tribe has accomplished. No different from calling Yo! Bum Rush the Show Public Enemy's third or fourth best...
