Among some of the best were:
De La Soul, De La Soul Is Dead;
Third Bass, Derelicts of Dialect;
Ice T, Original Gangster; K.M.D.,

"The textures of classical

This deluge of god-like hip-hop
put a rather large dent in my summer
paycheck. Just when I thought
I would have a chance to put down
my wallet and let it take a
breather, A Tribe Called Qu6st releases
their sophomore outing, The
Low End Theory.
A Tribe Called Quest, a member
of "The Native Tongues," made its
debut when lead rapper Q-Tip
said, "black is black" on De La
Soul's immortal 3 Ft. High and
Rising. In March of 1990, A Tribe
Called Quest released People's Instinctive
Travels and the Paths of
Rhythm.
Although this album didn't explode
on the commercial scene,
(because sell-out, greedy, spineless,
sucker program directors tend
to shy away from rap that has any
value or creativity), hardcore rap
meisters knew what time it was. "I
Left My Wallet in El Segundo,"
"Bonita Applebum" and the classic
"Can I Kick It" had heads bobbing
up and down all summer long.
Radio stations have only allowed
Q-Tip on the radio when he
made a cameo appearance on Dee
Lite's smash single "Groove is in

groovy jazz samples are the trade- 0

it's not like all they know is jazz ^

None of the samples are very fa- 'e

hard beats. It seems like Quest is da
reaching back to the roots of hip- sc
