However, where their debut was propelled by a disparate array of samples, The Low-End Theory was built on a stricter musical doctrine - its spine provided by bebop jazz. Though jazz-rap crossover would become a staple of popular music in the mid-90s (Gang Starr, Jazzmatazz, etc.), this album played a substantial part in breaking down barriers between genres. Phife Dog and Q-Tip are on great form too, making the most of Quest's energetic production with cool asides and insightful observations ('The Infamous Date Rape', 'Showbusiness').\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1991-09-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1991-09-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"A Tribe Called Quest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661236191397,"sku":"I1U9LR-HG4W-0U","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0531\/1640\/3877\/files\/a-tribe-called-quest-the-low-end-theory_3WtYH.jpg?v=1774644086","url":"https:\/\/arcskate.com\/products\/a-tribe-called-quest-the-low-end-theory-cd","provider":"American Record Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
