A monumental achievement that elevated hip-hop to art
A historic masterpiece that expanded the possibilities of hip-hop with jazz sampling and intelligent lyrics.
This album, by ATCQ, centered around Q-Tip and Phife Dawg, significantly evolved hip-hop expression. Boldly incorporating the deep bass of acoustic bass and elements of jazz, it presented a cool and sophisticated worldview. It was lauded by music magazines upon its release, and is still talked about today as "the pinnacle of '90s hip-hop."
