20 Hip Hop Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

2. A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

People's opinions on the best A Tribe Called Quest album differs, depending on how old you are and what you grew up listening to. Some people go with Midnight Marauders while others prefer The Low End Theory. Both are right because they're both great albums. Both have plenty of high points and a plethora of great songs. However, as good as Midnight Marauders is, what it doesn't have is arguably one of the best hip hop posse cuts of all time. Scenario, featuring all three members of Leaders of the New School, is simply an incredible song that you just can't deny. The song is so powerful that it'd be difficult to not nod your head to the distinct bass line. And the icing on the cake is the memorable performance from a young Busta Rhymes who is at his energetic, wild best.
