I mentioned this before, but this is NOT ³Low End Theory² type music, obviously, ATCQ has shifted their style since Œ91. I still think that the track is similiar in sound to De La¹s new stuff or at least is very reminiscent to the DITC sound which includes: Diamond, Showbiz, Large Professor, Pete Rock, etc. (who all shop for beats together.) This doesn¹t mean that the sh*t ain¹t hype, but with a new LP from Large Professor due out in December (supposedly) and all the tracks that PR, Showbiz and Diamond do, I don¹t know if ³Midnight Marauders² will be appreciated as much as it could be. Albums like ³Low End² and ³People¹s Instinctive Travels² dropped at a time where they created a style instead of just following one. I know someone out there asked why every song needed to be new, ya know, why can¹t fat be fat? Agreed... I think ³Award Tour² is fat, but will it be a classic? As a hip hopper, what do you strive for? Fatness is good, but I¹d want some sh*t that would get parties jumping five years from now.
hmm
