It was awarded a perfect five mic rating in The Source, with reviewer Reef lauding their "progressive sound" and "streetwise edge", adding that "there's no sophomore jinx to be found here—only real hip-hop." [24] Iestyn George of NME praised the album as a "quantum leap" from People's Instinctive Travels, noting, "Gone are the quirky samples that gave them their lighter edge, replaced by stark, hard-hitting beats." George also credited Q-Tip and Phife Dawg for "trading lines like psychic sparring partners", as they "pause, interject, charm and challenge with understated aplomb." [23] In a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone , Phife remembered, “A couple of months before we started working on Low End, I just happened to run into Q-Tip on the train leaving from Queens going into Manhattan. He was like, ‘Yo, I’m about to start recording this next album. I want you on a couple of songs, but you have to take it serious.’… I took that into consideration along with the last couple of shows we did for that first album. I saw how fruitful things could get.”

The record became beloved of fundamentalist b-boys because it rooted itself firmly in the music's core sonic, conceptual, lyrical and artistic values, yet managed to increase the band's appeal to listeners who generally shunned rap for sonic or ideological reasons. Here was a group from a still outsider genre, uniting hardcore fans and curious outsiders by making music that worried more about integrity, commitment, creativity and resolve than it did appealing to the mainstream. a b c d e f "End of Discussion: Why A Tribe Called Quest's "Midnight Marauders" Is Better Than "The Low End Theory" ". Complex. September 24, 2011 . Retrieved October 6, 2017. The Low End Theory is regarded as one of the most influential albums in hip-hop history, with Corbin Reiff of Complex declaring that it "broke major ground and pushed the sonic envelope of the entire rap genre." [56] It has been stated to have helped shape alternative hip-hop in the 1990s, as the group's "mellow innovations" helped jazz rap gain significant exposure from 1992 to 1993. [57] [58] [59] With the album, the group is credited for showcasing how hip-hop was made before commercial success influenced many rappers' creativity, and for challenging the "macho posturing" of hardcore and gangsta rap.

However, he left the group during the sessions to study culinary art and his verses did not make the final cut. [2] [3] [13] The song "Butter" was originally supposed to feature a verse by Q-Tip, but Phife Dawg insisted on rapping solo on it, causing a brief argument. [14] It essentially became a Phife Dawg solo record, with Q-Tip performing the chorus. a b c d e f g h i j Cowie, Del F. (February 2008). " A Tribe Called Quest - Verses from the Abstract". Exclaim!. Accessed December 28, 2008. This albums is fantastic. No seriously. It really is. It might be my innate hip-hop head or my innate desire for chilled music but it really is good. I realized between listening to this and Midnight Maurauders, this album gets more listens to. Why? It actually has to do with the production more than anything. This one is very finely produced, very finely. Midnight while no slouch has a hint of overproduction, whereas this one is very finely balanced. That aside however Low End Theory is one of the few rap albums I'd recommend to non-rap fans. It's hardly offensive, there is some, but not much misogyny and there are some great songs. Although I do wonder what if they combined the two albums..award tour sure would fit in here.. Davis, Stephen (July 7, 2011).
